I don't know about that. I've seen a couple of demos that looked like a guy walking around with a handicam. It is much sooner than you think. I give it 5 years.

I think the only real game out there that's trying to achieve photorealism is Crysis. C3 looks amazing (and I bet 4 will be pushing the boundaries when it inevitably comes out), but most other games are still a long way off. At least more than 5 years, anyway.

Im sure many games will use old graphics because of the art direction. It will depend on what the developers want to do. Of course games like CoD, Halo and Battlefield will use photo realism because they strive for realism to begin with.

Would you be able to play a game with perfect graphics?

Yeah, I do it every day. The game is called "life."


Life is too boring, it takes way too long to level up.
and the perks system is completely broken too. i hear in some games you don't unlock Alcohol till level 21, but are able to drive a car at level 15; that's madness.

  • 01.04.2013 1:09 AM PDT

What goes here??

Yes of course!

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

Thank goodness I've unlocked the ability to drive at level 16, and I only have to wait until level 18 to drink.

Perks of having the Kiwi edition, it's pretty hard to get, only 4.5 Million people have it.

And the respawn system is broken too. Only 1 life, seriously?

perfect photo realistic graphics would make it impossible to suspend belief and actually detract from the enjoyment of playing

That game is boring. I always land on the crappy spots.

The day is not far off when graphics will equal what we see with our eyes. The question is, would that be playable? Possibly, do you suppose that perfect photo realistic graphics would make it impossible to suspend belief and actually detract from the enjoyment of playing?


It will be absolutely fantastic when it occurs, but the day is further off than you assume. No less than a decade, but probably much further. The nuances of colour in real life would require far more effort than would be cost effective in any forseeable future.

CGI isn't interactive though. I've thought CGI has been getting pretty close to photo-realism since I saw Final Fantasy: Spirits Within.

More awesome than a shark high-fiving a bear during an explosion...IN SPACE.

It kind of depends on the game.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

IMO video games will still look slightly "off" from real life, even if they are just as vivid.

Even now games are trying to look better than real life on an artistic level, by overusing elements like lens flare, colour filters and light tunnels.

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

It might to hard because then the argument of video games and violence would get very strong.

  • 01.04.2013 2:00 AM PDT

I don't think I'd enjoy that much.
I really like the 'video-game look'. Games with stylized graphics are even more pleasing, IMO.

  • 01.04.2013 2:03 AM PDT

The world is full of mysteries, and shares too few of the answers required. An example of which, is how did I end up in the Brute Zone?

The word 'perfect' isn't a black and white definition to me, and seeing as different people have different levels of quality with vision it varies too. However, I do believe graphics will improve, although this may take a long time (a decade perhaps).

I don't think it will detract from the gaming experience, quite the opposite actually.

  • 01.04.2013 2:04 AM PDT

People will complain that its too real. Then in the very next thread post about how a different game sucks because the graphics aren't real enough.

  • 01.04.2013 2:41 AM PDT

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

Isn't that basically virtual reality, but then you are in the game and everything seems real in that game?

Then I would play that all the time. But still keep myself in a good condition in real life.

Imagine really being in a world like Skyrim. That you see your hands do magic stuff and you feel the burden of the flames.

OMG!!!

I hate hate hate hate using a video as a response, but this says so much more than I ever could in much greater detail on the subject.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I didn't immediately think Avatar was real life and that looked pretty real, I don't understand what you mean OP?

I don't like the strive for photo-realism in video-games. The way we currently interact with the medium just isn't suitable to that kind of environment - good graphics are a huge strain on a system, and to compensate we get lower field of views in our games and lower frame rates, which leads to blurry tunnel-vision. I struggle to play a lot of modern console first-person shooters, because all I see is a blur of colours through a tunnel. It's as if my character is looking through a cardboard paper-towel tube with one end covered by a film of plastic that has been covered with wax. Worse still, one forth of that precious field of view is covered by an inexplicably large gun-model.

Whilst playing in a simulated 3D environment through a 2D viewing device (like a TV) we lose one of our most important abilities too - depth perception! Throughout the gaming community I've seen 3D labeled as a gimmick, but it's not. It's vital for photo-realism to be enjoyable. If we are moving about in a 3D environment it only makes sense to be able to see in 3D. However, 3D brings its own set of problems. The main one being systems have to be able to double the desired frame-rate to produce an adequate 3D image - if you want your game to run at 30 FPS in 3D it needs to run at 60 FPS 2D, something modern-day devs of graphically intense console games can't even manage (though they are working on outdated technology).

I believe photo-realism is a long, long way off. The power for such feats just isn't available to consumers, and won't be for a long time. For it to be enjoyable mentalities within the industry will have to change too - low frame-rate, blurry tunnel vision simulators are not OK. The problems with playing a graphically intense game on an inadequate setup are known to players of Batman: Arkham Asylum already, and that game wasn't even close to photo-realism.

Lastly, I'd like to add that a lot of games are abstract, and as such photo-realism doesn't add anything to the game, it could possibly detract from the experience.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

It would be fun, but I wouldn't want it to be a standard. Some of my favorite games are favorites because of the non-standard look/physics.

Sure. Though I rather have artsy looking games then real looking ones.
