Seriously though... once it gets really close to photorealistic i wouldn't be surprised if we see a sudden explosion in pornographic gaming. I mean at that point it'd be a porn movie but customizable. Download new models for an exorbitant amount... I'm sure there would be a lot of lawsuits however. People claiming companies copied them without their agreement and the like possibly hacks changing people into celebrities, or really just companies in countires that can't be reached by some countries lawyers making such characters. The future is going to be a creepy creepy place. Well even creepier then current. Ick. The more i think about it... the more I really don't ever want photorealistic graphics to happen. |
you paint a disturbing picture of the future... i had a mental image of Manhunt combined with pron... i don't think that's the sort of world i would like to live...
seriously though, i think you're right, there will be a backlash at some point by conservative middle classes who will ban things like that and force it a long way underground. it'll still exist, but out of sight. but i also wouldn't be surprised if the backlash will also force some of the other more 'fringe'/realistic games into underground. we've already seen the start, with games like Manhunt and the media blaming violent computer games for violent acts in youths.
what happens when a game becomes too realistic?
