They look like drawings to me. Where is that from?

[ZeeKid2k10]

no it not a drawing it real. It the Next Gen Graphics it going out like 2011-2013

[TheSiggi]

Wow, and you don't have any links to sources, specifications to make so this topic becomes worth to be here?

[visionist]

The first one looks current gen with better trees. The second looks like Crap. The Bellagio one is seriously impressive though. "Next Gen" is likely to be 2014-15 at the earliest.

 

-Now THIS is Next Gen!-

[OverTheBelow]

They don't look that great. I've certainly seen better graphics in this generation.

[TheSiggi]

Hows that next generation card? Anyway, this thread is completely senseless, since so far nothing else than pictures of scenes in various engines were posted which nothing to do with nex generation chipsets

[kaptainkoolkat]

Most PC games look as good as this.

[The-King]

Crysis Extreme Quality Mod > Metro 2033 > That.

 

Crysis isn't even DX11.

I miss the days where actual playability and how fun the game is was more important than how life-like the game looks.

 

I'm impressed by great graphics, sure, but who cares if the game looks awesome if it's not fun?

Gaming ceased being all about fun with the advent of three dimensional rendering in gaming. It became about immersing the player in a new world, and providing them with a true escape. The better the graphics a game has (alongside solid gameplay of course) the more enjoyable the experience is overall, generally speaking. Especially when you're like me and notice little graphical glitches left and right, the less I realize I'm playing a game the more I enjoy it.

I actually enjoyed Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES more than FarCry2 16-bit + most awesome gameplay vs. Cryengine 2.7 + sh*ty gameplay

Me and my cousin just expierienced how awesoem the NES time was and played a couple of games without thinking: hey, this looks like yesterdays dinner after it left my body becaue we had fun

[Runey]

Oh, I'm not saying revert back to 2-D, I'm just saying that gameplay shouldn't be sacrificed for graphics. There a lot of 3-D games I enjoy a lot. CoD, GTA 3, VC, SA, and IV, among others.

[TheSiggi]

Me either, I'm just critisising that most people pick a game because it lokks good. Unfortunately publishers and developers are supporting this trend

I still play SW Battlefront I with a couple of LUA scripts which actualy make it real hell of gameplay heaven lol. Graphics ain't everything

[[SM]CJZera]

I'm very tempted of posting a pic of Minecraft...

 

Seriously, only people that know nothing about games and/or graphics whores care about games... of course if something is very fugly it will be harder to pick, but if the actual gameplay is fun nothing else matters...

[Otter]

...these don't look so special to me. Kinda like the fake GTA4 images that were floating around a couple years ago.

[boxmonster]

 

The last image isn't so impressive seeing as the shot on the right is a photo.

[kaptainkoolkat]

no it not a drawing it real. It the Next Gen Graphics it going out like 2011-2013

Thats only for consoles. Pc is a full generation ahead

[Ziggy455]

We lost the faith of gaming because we stepped out of the gaming shoes and into the cinematic shoes.

 

I'll play Grand Theft Auto 1, 2, 69, III, Vice City, San Andreas and The stories over GTA IV anyday.

 

 

I love old games.

 

Most new games are relatively good because of their graphics. I'd love to create a low bit game with so many features - it would f*ck with kids minds!

[uNi]

Aren't those from CryEngine...2? There's demo reels of CryEngine 3 around.

[Finn 7 five 11]

Yeah we can't fully appreciate next gen Graphics unless we have a kick ass monitor, but it really doesn't matter to me so much what the detail is like, so long as overall the graphics are good, i don't care if i can't see cracks in the concrete, but i do care if explosions and things smashing to pieces and such look dodgy, i like Battlefield BC2 a lot but it makes it so much cooler how stuff blows up and falls to pieces.

 

As many say though graphics are not everything, i think this gen graphics are just fine for me, work on game play primarily.

[Bernard Jazz]

I don't think graphics are going to make a massive leap until we move away from polygons to something less square-ish.. Unless hardware becomes available that can render a truckload of polys, tesselation is a good start but it's still not quite there.

This in theory would be brilliant, however there's no solid evidence so far that the tech is genuine. The videos are still interesting though if you can put up with the guys accent.

Bullsh*t.

Voxels all the way!

I mean this is a game that used voxels 10 years ago.

Imagine what we would have if voxels took on and polygons didn't?

Nothing impressive. And really, gaming consoles are a poor idea, these days at least. Back when full on computers were unreachable to most people, consoles up to the N64/PS1 days were necessary. Now they become outdated so fast, in terms of computing capabilities.

 

This image showing that cellphones will have PS3 and Xbox 360 like performance within the next 12-36 months shows just how sad it is that people pay $400 for a console still. Outdated, under powered.

 

 

Call me when real-time raytracing is possible. That's when things will look incredibly realistic... although we'll need a bigger storage medium that Blu-ray discs at that time because models and textures will have to be incredibly detailed to match the amazing rendering environment.

 

Here's a good example of how sh*tty current gen consoles are: three PS3s struggling to do real time raytracing rendering of a car model on a flat plane. Lag, lag and more lag. IBM put this together, so I'm going to assume that it's not really any software issues, although I'm sure it could be optimized a bit more.

[Finn 7 five 11]

400GB 16layered blu ray discs have been invented, so storage shouldn't be a problem.

[unopescio]

Great graphics are worthless if the game isnt fun. And Id play a fun game regardless of the graphics. So f*ck everyone chasing "realism" youre ruining gaming. Ive played minecraft for way longer than I ever played crysis.

Metroid (NES) was a better game than any fancy-pants piece of sh*t game out today.

 

They shouldn't even be called games. They're (somewhat) interactive movies.

Far Cry 2 did not use any form of Cryengine whatsoever, it used Dunia, an engine developed specifically for it (presumably so it could render the game at a decent enough rate to make it workable on consoles given their weak rendering capabilities).

 

I'll take a hundred GTAIVs over one Super Mario Brothers any day. I'll take a gorgeous cinematic experience over mindless platforming regardless to how iconic it is.

[Ottae]

I recently acquired Goldeneye on the N64 again recently, and I've played that more in the last month or so than I have Call of Duty.

 

Graphics aren't the be-all-and-end all. If a paint-drying simulator had graphics so similar to real life that I couldn't tell the difference, I'd still much rather play Minecraft.

I truly can't tell you how much I agree with this.
