| Avinash_Tyagi said: Even though our graphics are reaching realistic levels we are still far from getting to the point where games are indistinguishable from reality, the characters on screen still don't act like real humans so in that regard its still not at a point where costs are going to go down, AI still has a long way to go before it can fool a person. And like couch said all these things don't make a game better, as some of the best games don't have those features to begin with, so the quest to just make things bigger and faster isn't going to help attract more people to the medium. |
Would you still be content with 8-bit gaming then?
The point is not that these improvements make gaming inherently better but that they allow game designers to more fully realize their ideas. A 3D Mario could not be realized without the hardware innovations to make it possible for example.
When people begin using these innovations only because they have them and for the sake of using them, and not because they make the game better, only then is there a problem.
