How many years until the graphics in video games become as good at those in this animated short?
>>
>>344553515
Not anytime soon imo, there isn't much reason for a game dev to make something this high fidelity other than to say that they did it.
>>
>>344553515
Never ever
>>
>>344553515

decades at least
>>
>>344553515
You need realtime raytracing, so yeah not any time soon
>>
>>344553515
It's literally impossible.
>>
>>344553515
Never. It would require the money videogame publishers actually have, but then what about the poor corporate scumbags?
>>
>>344553515
goddamn this was so cute.

when stupid peasants stop buying consoles and when consoles stop holding it back

>Dick measuring contest with marked-up graphics cards
Nope. Until PCs are standardized, the nightmare will continue.

Pre-builts were supposed to be a solution, but they serve as an excuse for pushing old hardware.
>>
Never

Movie renders take hours per frame. You will never have that quality in real time
If anything, the industry is slowly switching from brute force raytracing to real time rendering, so movies will start to look more like (better) videogames.
Not that it matters, though, most people don't really know about graphics and are gullible as fuck, so they believe whatever they are told is good or beautiful
>>
>>344555319
Only 2D animation looks good
>>
>>344555194
Sadly, the laziness of console fucks extends to the form of enjoying their entertainment. Fuck graphics, consoles are killing gameplay.
>>
Fun fact: A single frame of a movie like Monsters University takes over 10 hours to render
>>
See?

This is an example

In about 5-6 console generations, depending on much longer how they wanna hold us back.

That's entirely developers. I remember the days where PC games were point and click.

hardware-wise, yes.

consoles are literally DRM.
>Lack of worthwhile controllers
just use the console ones, are you retarded? friend also said he liked the steam one, haven't tried myself yet.
>>
>>344555898
? You use a fucking mouse to play PC games, they're always point and click

you do the exact same thing on consoles but it's cumbersome with an analog stick
>>

not much different from console framerates

Consoles are not DRM, and thanks to them we have some best looking games. Look how awful PC exclusives looks like.

it's way too early for this fucking bait
>>
>>344553515
You see, they can make games look that good, but that requires way more time and money(compared to the PS2 era) and the consumer would have to have the technology to run it properly as well, which would cost more money no doubt. We've really kind of hit a wall when it comes to this stuff.

PC fags are the worst, they are like white people that blame minorities for their own problems and faults

CGI has really been coming along lately. I used to hate that it overtook glorious 2D, but I guess it just needed some time.

>>344553515
don't listen to anyone that says decades or even "not any time soon"

it isn't fiscally feasible to spend company resources on that level of graphics over something addictive, like call of duty shooty. That is why we have consoles and why graphics stagnated in the last 20 years.
>>
>>344555575
that is with current computer technology.

Assuming the scale upwards in processing, another 5-10 years will get us to less than an hour per frame, or if something innovative is discovered, maybe a few minutes per frame.
>>
>>344556367
Not that anon. You seem to love all those bland MMOs like Metin2, right? The anon you were replying to meant this. Sure C&C, Diablo and Baldur's Gate are fun but there are some really shit point and click games.
