no not quite....i expect cgi qulity and smooth gameplay like charactiscs around 2017theboxmiketechnology advances pretty quick, expect 3 years till PC hardware is running "CGI quality" just look at crysis.
[QUOTE="XboxUnderground"]why do people always talk about toy story this movie came out years before toy story did ViviathIm sorry but i think Jurassic park one has some of the greatest CG. Sure King Kong and LoTR look great but no other movie looks as realistic as Jurassic park 1. Its the most visually spectacular movie out there...sure there were a couple of dodgey areas (the bronchusaurus scene) but overall its was great (T-Rex scenes)
toy story grafx!! ooh noes!whoisryanmackYeah, we all know that only the PS2 is capable of Toy Story graphics :roll:

Useless info: Adam Jones from Tool worked on Jurassic Park.yea I agree.. King Kong>>>>>>>J park
IMO King Kong has the best CG scene to date when Kong fights those 3 T-Rex like Dinosaurs.
As for the topic, video games are always evolving, but graphics wise, they'll never be on par with pre-rendered CG.

Like Toy Storyish?No but PS2 and PS3 is. Did you see the game SoTC, or Ratcher and Clank.
Or are we still 5-10 years out from CGI quality graphics?

[QUOTE="tool_rage"]Useless info: Adam Jones from Tool worked on Jurassic Park.yea I agree.. King Kong>>>>>>>J park I can't agree with you there. Jurassic Park looks way better due to the rain in the scene and the fact that the dinosaur is the only CG thing in the image. I know I'm looking at a nearly fully rendered scene in KK, but in Jurassic Park I can quit happily accept that a dinosaur is about to eat that dude on the toilet lol.

Amen to that. The shock value of Jurassic Park CGI was insane. I was expecting great CGI in LoTR and King Kong, but when I walked into the theater and sat down for Jurassic Park for the first time..

We've already kinda hit CGI quality. Compare Gears of War to Starcraft's (a 1998 game) CG sequences. Which is better looking?EinhanderkillerSo if I render a crappy CGI film or frame right now, you will compare it to GEoW also, just because its CGI?

 are you mad? at the rate we're going, next year is a reachable target, or the most is the year after (this is with top end PC's of course), the level of photorealism we have been dreaming abou since the 4-bit era has been reaching with the technical phenimenom that is crysis

Crysis is already near Killzone 2 CGI (it already looks it).

Yeah, because we know the intelligence that dinosaurs had, right? :roll:

Videogame graphics are NO WHERE NEAR the level of prerendered CGI from even old movies of the 1990s.
Current realtime graphics are not even close to Jurrasic Park or Toy Story. Not even Crysis comes close. In-game real time graphics have a LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG way to go before they catch up to movie-quality CGI.
The lower-end, lower-budget CGI used in television commercials and television shows from 10-15 years ago, well, I would say game graphics are getting close to that. However, most prerendered CGI used in game intros & cutscenes from the last 10 years are still better than the best realtime graphics. Unless you're looking at really ancient CGI used in 3DO, Saturn and PS1 games from the 1993-1995 timeframe.
Also, peoples opinions don't really count. Neither does mine. It's about fact not opinion. It's a fact that game graphics (even on highend PCs) are technically not at all close to highend or even midrange CGI, even CGI from 5-10 years ago.
The next generation of consoles might get us closer to midrange CGI, but don't expect movie-quality highend CGI to be matched by realtime graphics even in the next 3-5 years as next-gen consoles come out.
