Do you think the graphics of the 7th gen consoles is as good as it's gonna get? I don't think it's there just yet. What do you think?
Well, I think that there has been a big improvement in comparison to the other consoleses. her before I have tried it was the "Saw", with the graphics in 2D. then the PS1 with 3D but a bad graphics. then the PS2 anchors in 3D and with a good graphic:D. then the PSP also that with a good graphics also being very small. and now the PS3 with an excellent graphics and the style and the initial menu they are equal to those of the PSP.
I think that the graphics are pretty darn good,especially PS3.Once thay can,I would like to see improved Wii Graphics.;)
Graphics are almost at their limit. Of course in a few years we could have...impossibly realistic graphics. Plus I'm looking forward to more than graphics updates. More important things to worry about.
Graphics can never be at their limits because there is alot it can improve on still. And graphics arent limited to just realism, there are tons of different styles and ways that games can be made with.
Of course not. I believe this technology is next to limitless. I'm sure gamers of the generations before us couldn't believe that graphics could get any better, however they did.
"When theres a will theres a way" Of course they'll somehow get better...maybe when Blu-Ray becomes more popular...or some other technology we dont know about.
It's not a matter of the technology being limited, it a matter of at what point is there no real payoff for Developers spending the extra development costs and time to make games with such graphics. Right now things for Developers are already getting way too strenuous, Development costs just to make PS3/360 games is an all-time high, some games having 4 year development period, with $20+ million dollar budgets just for development (not to mention production, shipment, and advertising costs), and if said games are not an instant success with a guaranteed 5 million copies sales, those developers won't be making their money back. The game industry at this point isn't large enough with a big enough consumer base to safely fund most games with the great graphics of today, even now. There just aren't enough gamers to buy games for Developers to even safely invest in such games, it's such a big gamble that entire Development studios could go underground if one of their games busts. Gaming hasn't reached Hollywood userbase status, in Hollywood you could make a $10 million dollar movie, it could be a flop in comparison to, say, Iron Man, but the Movie industry is just so large that even if you're competing with Iron Man, there are just so many people who will potentially go out and say "Meh, I'll go see this movie", and then the eventual DVD sales, it's quite hard not to make your money back. Gaming just isn't there yet, even now, funding projects with huge development times and costs to achieve the graphics of today is full in uncertain successes or failures.
