SO basically this dude is talking about how graphics will be realistic in 10-15 years. My question is: Arent they realistic as hell now? Just look at Crysis and Killzone 2

He means they will be real, not real-ish. You can look at your friend, then look at your friend on a game and you can't determine which is real (except for the fact that you are looking at a TV for one of them).

Sorry,but even crysis with dx10,all details and 1920x1080 resolution looks really virtual to me.
And don't forget about the uncanny valley....

Graphics can improve a hell of a lot more before we achieve true photo-realism.

For starters get rid of the dog shit brown, it's not just about the realism, it's about the interaction with it to. You can have the most realistic looking characters ever but it will all tumble apart if they have lack of characterization, subpar animations, bad interactions with environments, and loads of other problems.

Not only that, but visuals can improve twice, if not thrice, as much as graphics can. Visuals are the aesthetic viewpoints of graphics, like the horror tensions and the atmosphere to the game. Who knows what we can get to achieve true photo-realism?

Dwarf Fortress rocks. That is all.

This game demonstrates that graphics < gameplay in terms of importance, but they do help: the updated version with shinier graphics is a lot better than the ASCI version.

I'd like to have story and gameplay more improved on than graphics. They're good enough.

Exactly what I meant. Graphics are worth shit without proper story and gameplay

i like gameplay also

gameplay + graphics = game

good gameplay + good graphics = GTA IV

Less graphics, more art direction pl0x.

i like graphics

i like gameplay also

gameplay + graphics = game

good gameplay + good graphics = GTA IV

Average gameplay + good graphics + overused stereotypes = GTA IV

I hope we don't, because once we hit the uncanny valley, you just won't see anywhere near as many violent games or fps because the bullshit that Jack Thompson and others are talking about now may actually hold some weight.

And to be honest, i think UFC Undisputed is pretty damned close to that valley.
