This is a full CGI scene.

Might take 20 years before we'll be able to render this in real-time but that is still soon enough for most of us to experience complete photorealism.
Does this mean that violent games will be banned due to the sheer realism you'll be exposed to? What about loli and/or rape games?
Actually makes me more scared of the progress than to be excited due to the SJW's only giving it more and more attention when the technology increases.
Frankly I still prefer the stylized, slightly cartoony look vidya has had up until now.

The more real it becomes, the more barriers authorities will put up. Creativity needs to exceed reality in order to overcome barriers. Reality is limited.
>>320892001
We could already achieve realtime photorealism given small enough environments, few characters and very high quality baked lighting.

and prerendered backgrounds
I would be more impressed with true-to-life real-time physics and collision. That's the real "realism" hurdle, because even if you make something look completely photo-realistic, the second I see physics fucking up or not even present it snaps me out of the illusion like nothing else.

A photo is pretty photo-realistic to me, don't you think?

Not in all cases.
Hollywood has been doing shit like this since forever, see all the fucking movie in this past decade.

That's supposed to look like miniatures but still real.

Aren't they already banned?

Are any of us really real?

How long did it take to make just those assets?
I was always under the impression that the biggest hurdle to photorealism in video games is that fact that actually creating the objects takes forever.
We still don't have Toy Story graphics, you really expect us to be able to render that in real time in 20 years?
Everything was good up until the shitty transformers movie tier mecha tentacle showed up. When will artists learn?
>full control over the render
>still makes the camera shake like a parkinson's patient
why so insecure?

Actually, a lot of the stuff in that frame can be made either procedurally or with automated tools, the foliage especially. You might notice that the building on the right which can't really be automated as well is way less detailed and you can easily place it as CG. In general stuff like photoreal human beings are way harder and more expensive to produce.
