do you think we might see games at look somewhat like this CG, say, during the middle to later part of the next generation console cycle ?

Sure. But not until later in the gen.

Sure. But not until later in the gen.

I figured it would be in the later part of the next gen.

Some parts of that video already look similar to some game this gen. From Ninja Gaiden to Ico to RE4, I think we're getting closer to that now. Who knows...maybe we'll see stuff right off the bat that makes that look bad.

 

[GigaDrive]

wow, now that's what I call optimistic!

 

[u_neek]

Probably not gonna happen...

We still haven't even got last gen CG in realtime yet, so I doubt we'll be getting high end CG from this gen in real time. The character modeling might be possible, but not everything.

I think it has less to do with hardware, and everything to do with the tools used for making games.

I can imagine a tech demo that looks like that trailer. If you have 50 artists and a few programmers devoting their time to make something look like that, the only thing that's going to hurt their end product is time. Not the hardware.

The question is can the artists/programmers make an actual game (with physics/AI) that looks like that. Well, again, we aren't questioning hardware, but the people making the software. If software tools can speed up the process, I'd say yes.

As you say, it looks like it will happen at near the end of the consoles life. It's all about the approach and technique of developing software, rather than the hardware itself.

We won't see anything with that level of detail or lighting.
