Would you be happy if "Next-Gen" games looked like this ? In Real time ? As in, these FMV scenes would be in-game actually happening as you play graphics.

I would. Square Enix makes beautiful FMV's and I would absolutely be pumped if next-gen games were rendered in real time this beautifully.

 

[GDGF]

Good enough for me.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

I would absolutely hate it and stop gaming completely

 

[BSTF]

No, I don't want this gen to last 15 more years.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

Nope. That requires larger teams and more time and more financial risk.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I would like some 1080p with that. That could leave behind a huge number of studios though.

 

[AngelSoldier]

No, I don't want this gen to last 15 more years.

These FMV scenes are way better looking then what can be currently displayed on the consoles. Have you guys played FF13 ? You can always tell an immediate difference between the FMV's and the actual gameplay.

 

[Wario64]

I'm happy with my iPhone.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Who wouldn't ????

 

[Pimpbaa]

I would give up gaming if it all looked like square's shit.

 

[AngelSoldier]

I would like some 1080p with that.

I have 1080p shots, but I didn't wanna blow up TinyMonitorGAF's computers ...

 

[benzy]

Next-gen won't even come close to reaching Square's FMV quality.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I have 1080p shots, but I didn't wanna blow up TinyMonitorGAF's computers ...

Someone had to.

 

[AngelSoldier]

I would give up gaming if it all looked like square's shit.

I can't find any Western games with HD FMV screenshots ... >_> I guess there's that tech demo from Epic, but ugh, ugly characters is ugly.

 

[ThusZarathustra]

Exactly like that? In full motion with good AI and a solid world size? And at 60 fps and 1080p? Sure, why not?

Speaking to the level of technology on display, not necessarily the art style, of course.

 

[BSTF]

These FMV scenes are way better looking then what can be currently displayed on the consoles. Have you guys played FF13 ? You can always tell an immediate difference between the FMV's and the actual gameplay.

I'm saying it will take 15 years to release a console that could render FF's FMVs in real time.

 

[Rahxephon91]

I'm pretty happy with how games look this gen. I'm still pretty impressed with FFXIII and the like.

 

[Ramblin]

Looks good enough, as long as the game play isn't qte.

 

[Haunted]

I would absolutely hate it and stop gaming completely

goddamn hardcore

I'm happy with my iPhone.

goddamn casuals

 

[Dictator93]

Isn't that first image from a real-time test render on the xbox 360? Unlesss I am mistaken...

 

[dragonelite]

Nope. That requires larger teams and more time and more financial risk.

Not sure about that.
Source art is already extremely high resolution.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Yeah, but I want that at 60fps.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I laughed since I literally just rewatched that tri-Ace tech demo that you screenshotted.

 

[Fjordson]

Sure. I think games look good now, though, so I might be the wrong person to ask.

 

[Falxix]

So long as it runs and plays fine, I'd be happy with even incremental improvements.

 

[Ricky_R]

Just give me this:

with consistent high res textures, more polys, higher resolution and at least 40 FPS locked as a mininum.

 

[Emitan]

I'm happy with my iPhone.

I'm happy with my SNES. Stop living in the future!

 

[Medalion]

Not good enough.

If you can make those now, it's not next-gen.

 

[NullPointer]

60fps without jaggies or long load times and I'll be happy. Start from that foundation and see how much artistry you can apply to the visuals.

I'm more interested in the moment to moment gameplay and feedback than the ability to create stellar screenshots.

 

[Hylian7]

I would like some 1080p with that.That could kill a huge number of studios though.

How would it kill a large number of studios? Most indie game studios out there don't have these ridiculously fancy graphics. They're doing incredibly well for themselves.

 

[walking fiend]

of course!

 

[AngelSoldier]

Isn't that first image from a real-time test render on the xbox 360? Unlesss I am mistaken...

Shit. You're right.

Had no clue Tr-Ace was so boss mode.

More info can be found here http://research.tri-ace.com/detail_1.html

Also note that it states 360 AND PS3.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

*is easily pleased*

 

[Emitan]

*is easily pleased*

Looks like shit. Too many colors. Not enough blood. When will Nintendo stop their trend of low powered systems?

Spoiler

Doin it right?

 

[A.KU.MU]

*is easily pleased*

This.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Shit. You're right.

Had no clue Tr-Ace was so boss mode.

Also note that it states 360 AND PS3.

tri-Ace was in super boss mode with the SNES, GBC, PS1, and PS2 in terms of graphics. They have yet to go boss mode this gen, which depresses me.

 

[Caramello]

The OP running at 60FPS at 1080p in real time would be more than enough for me

 

[sixteen-bit]

Only if it's 1080p and 60fps.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

thighs and armpits - the generation?

Spoiler

I'm down

 

[AngelSoldier]

Actually Link's clothes and the fires are the only things that don't seem grey to me. Not enough colors I say !

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Well I did not meant 'kill' as kill-kill. You are right. what I should have said is: only a few could keep up with that.

 

[Madrical]

60fps without jaggies or long load times and I'm fine. Start from that foundation and see how much artistry you can apply to the visuals.

This x100. I wish consoles had a minimum standard for technical aspects of games, especially FPS.

Really, I just want next gen to have 60 FPS, 1080p with forced AA. It would make a huge difference.

 

[Shalashaska161]

I'd be happy if next-gen looked exactly like this gen just at 1080p and some decent AA. I'm not even asking for 60 fps! Just gimme some decent image quality!

 

[Derrick01]

I'll take as much graphics as I can at a locked 30 fps for consoles.

 

[squidyj]

I would. Square Enix makes beautiful FMV's and I would absolutely be pumped if next-gen Final Fantasy's were rendered in real time this beautifully.

no.

I'll have what this man is having.

 

[Bisnic]

Some people here talk like they'll be happy with just a console that's like PCs, which can already do current gen console games at 60 FPS and 1080p.

 

[Emitan]

Actually Link's clothes and the fires are the only things that don't seem grey to me. Not enough colors I say !

Yeah, well, trolling doesn't need to be accurate.

 

[Pachinko]

I've got tempered expectations, I've had a decent (but no longer top end) gaming rig that can pretty much run xbox 360 level graphics at 60 fps in 1080p as is, and I expect that a console released next fall/winter won't be a whole lot different than that. If we see games that look like the CG you posted, it'll be only for in game cutscenes. Playable portions will still be a toned down from that a fair bit. If we still have games consoles the generation AFTER next then I suspect we'll get to the point of being able to render something like squares current CG in real time, as actual gameplay. That's probably 15 years off though.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Some people here talk like they'll be happy with just a console that's like PCs, which can already do current gen console games at 60 FPS and 1080p.

Some people here talk like you can play every console game on PC's.

 

[okenny]

~random jrpg gobboly gook images~

Sure!

Spoiler

..but that's those are graphics from next-next gen hardware good sir.
