Forums - Gaming Discussion - High-End game models look like puppets

fazz said:

This is effing GTA after all: a port of a console game that not even on consoles has good graphics. Even Half Life 2 models look more realistic. Have you seen the animation of the zombies on Left 4 Dead? Believe me, they don't look like puppets.

But anyway, this generation is just an extension of the last one. Expect the next one to achieve the level of realism you seem to want.

The best Animations in ANY game!!

Animation contributes a lot to realism, but costs very little compared to textures or models. GTA4 really not the best example of good animation. Above mentioned L4D and MGS4 are pretty good examples, of course, everything else looks like shit in those games, but that's the limitation of modern techologies ^_^ It'd be a long time before we'll see some true realism in games (some in-game screenshots already looks pretty much photorealistic, but realism is ruined when we see it in motion).



Do you know how much time, effort, money and pure horsepower it would take to have games that looked real?

HD gaming doesn't mean "life-like gaming", its based on resolution. Resolution allows the developers to put more detail into the game, but it doesnt magically turn everything real.



play some MGS4 or Killzone 2 beta.



CURRENTLY PLAYING:  Warframe, Witcher 2

Nobody would mistake mgs4, uncharted, or l4d for "reality". I think the point of the OP, and definitely one I share is that until gaming reaches a point of graphics indistinguishable from reality it will never live up to potential.



Do you people see the amount of things GTA4 renders on screen at any given time? How do you expect it to have better models when the engine has to render a ton of other stuff at the same time.

It won a few awards for best graphics from a few publications btw...I guess in game models arent everything.



Left 4 dead does a beautiful job with animation. While its not the stellar graphic power house your looking for the animations are fantastic.

Oh and MGS4 and Gears 2 both have fantastic character animation
