Are you talking about Unlimited Detail?

you also have to take in account a lot of devs use motion capture with their games. that extends the time and cost of the process. but not every game needs mo-capRydian said:A 3D model can be less time-consuming to make than a sprite, because out of ONE model you can get all sorts of movement,s but for a sprite you need to re-do it for each frame of animation for each movement.

Off Topic: What are you doing here, I thought you left?Panzer Tacticer said:I am a wargamer, we don't NEED awesome graphics in our games, hence they are rarely much of a drain on a computer to run them.
Even so, some games can be really demanding other ways. Gary Grigsby's War in the East (pc wargame) will cost you more processing power to run than any other game on the market right now. That's flat fact. I have the game, I already know this.
But, it takes a bitching video card to run some graphically intensive shooters at best visual appeal. The thing is, they don't always need a processor and as much muscle as some of my wargames that possess graphics that look like that came from the 90s.
The above mentioned wargame, playing AI vs AI, will conk out after being given about 15 minutes of automated play running on a good dual core with 2 gigs of ram with a reasonably decent video card. It simply can't perform all the calculations fast enough.
Graphics in a game, are only as good as the person that designed the game required them to be.
So some games made today will simply not look better if there was no reason to have them.
As our doodads get more and more powerful, your options get better and better to dump more and more into the experience, if the person making the game feels like using the muscle.
Best thing I have seen a computer do recently, is out perform hohum singers. I'm a total Hatsune Miku fan eh.
She's not better than Celine Dion or Enya. But you can cram Lady Gaga who sucks ass.
Well yeah. Things are more "compact".Berthenk said:Common sense...
Technologies will always get better and less power-consuming. So if it costs less power to do more, we can do more if we increase the amount of power we can use.
No, console graphics are actually much weaker then PC graphics.Tanveer said:Next Gen Consoles will sure make huge differnce. Not sure about Nintendo's next console, but I am sure Sony and Microsoft will have monstrous system. A graphics card thats as powerful as the GTX 590 maybe!?
I am quite aware that Console graphics are much weaker than PC. PC gets continues updates of new hardwares..Rydian said:No, console graphics are actually much weaker then PC graphics.Tanveer said:Next Gen Consoles will sure make huge differnce.

You don't notice for two reasons.
1 - You can develop a lot more efficiently for a console because you don't have to account for hardware differences, thus you can get slightly better graphics with the same power.
2 - TVs look like shit so you don't really notice it's not as good. Most people don't know this because they don't sit two feet away from their TV like they do their monitor when playing an FPS.
Ergo, the reason why PC games don't look at least 2 times better than console games. Also, read this.Rydian said:2 - TVs look like shit so you don't really notice it's not as good.

I'm not all that sure.Tanveer said:I am quite aware that Console graphics are much weaker than PC. PC gets continues updates of new hardwares..
but we can still be sure that the next Gen consoles will be a HUGE step up in terms of graphics from this gen?
