It'll be toned down someday just as stuff like lens flare was.
Was? Did you play bf3?
But is it a metal or a metal paint?
There are outliers, but remember the 90s? That's when lens flare was in like every game ever.
By the way, look at the dimensions of the picture. If we can fidelity like that on consoles, then I am all for 720p.
Indeed, with that image quailty 720p seems rather fine
Somehow this looks too good to be real time though and that kind of smoothness usually means a 1080p image downscaled to 720p

You mean 4k downscaled.

Oh wow, omg that's...that's....a helmet.
It's a single frigging helmet, guys.
I thought they were showcasing ray tracing on the visor but nope. Just a helmet with good IQ.
Would still yawn if they told me this is real time on a x360. Yeah, nice textures and IQ, but it's one helmet.

I'm sure a lot of people would be okay with 720p if it meant perfectly anti-aliased images, but that's extremely unlikely to happen on any near-future console.
True. There will be aliasing for certain, just that it ought to be less than what we have seen on PS3/360. Still, IQ notwithstanding, the lighting and textures look phenomenal.
That's only helmet...
When we are talking about simple scenes then UE3 can do this:

This is what the games by the end of the generations would start to look like (I hope at 720p 30 fps).
Imagine KoTOR 3/ME4 at 70-75% this fidelity (given it will not be a corridor shooter).

It's the fundemental problem of graphics today.
Games are games, not movies. We do not view our world through a lens like we do films. Not to mention most films and phtographs attempt to limit these effects as much as possible.
That said, games are present oriented experiences, they mimic life, simulate and are realtime. The influence of cinema on games has been both positive and negative, and it's time to take what we've learned and start exploring other avenues.
I've been thinking about this issue a lot, and I honestly think we should approach games as an extenstion of performance. The way performances, be they directed, improvised, musical, etc, develop mood, lighting, focus, would be far more impactful in games then attempting to imitate a medium like movies. They provide much more apt comparison to games. Hell, half the games which exist today are directly related to them (sports, music/rythm, etc).

You would probably say wow if that helmet moved. I doubt any lighting/shading on it is prebaked into texture.
In 3rd person game it can be easily argued that you see the game world through a lens of the camera.

I would agree, third person games are far more fitting for the effects of cinema, they're also less jarring an experience when we enter cutscenes because the camera remains detached. It's about finding balance, something which doesn't happen with the over use of post processing in this generation, bloom, hdr, lensflare, motion blur, dof, chromatic abboration. Games could really do with less imo.
This kind of DoF will only be used in cinematics and screenshots, not in gameplay.

I have to admit... the materials in Crysis 3 just do not look right to me. Now the materials in this tech demo... are much more realistic. The metal actually looks like metal.

Is that a given these days?
C'mon, do you really expect RPGs to become corridor shooter? The odds against that is very high. Still never say never.
