Whoever started this thread should be shot (I kid, I kid - kinda). Suggesting we've already reached that magical threshold of visual realism is ludicrous:
[ Monochrome ]
C
[ CGA ]
[ EGA ]
[ VGA ]
[ Last-Gen ]
[ This Gen ]
Notice a pattern here?
The fact is, graphics will continue to improve - and to suggest that we have already reached visual Nirvana with the PS3 is simply rubbish. Graphics will continually improve over time, as it always has.
And to whoever brought this up: Please explain how it is even remotely possible that graphics can in the future surpass realism? Additionally, even hinting that graphics today are looking more "realistic than real" is silly especially when upon scrutiny you can definitely tell the difference - be it GT5 or the much-vaunted Crysis.
And Diomedes, what you are suggesting is simply ludicrous. Do you really, and I mean REALLY think that "IF the Wii wipes out the floor with the competition then we wont see anything more powerful"? Apart from these screenshots that prove otherwise, count your lucky stars that Wii dominance didn't start 20 years ago, because we would then be limited to these type of graphics:
[ ASCII ]
Which, needless to say, is preposterous.
