Not when you can add one color pencil at a time until we have to take that huge leap into the "paintbrush-age".. or even to the "computer illustration-age." |
but the thing is with what you are saying is we give new customers an extra pencil (upgrading the hardware slightly) but all the people that don't have the pencil can't enjoy the new paintings because they don't have access to it, that causes a split in the userbase and developers are reluctent to use the technology because very few will be able to enjoy it, so it is not worth the effort. At that point it is more profitable to launch a new console, today tech is many times greater than what it was when the consoles were released the only reason that PC games don't show it for the most part is because of the lack of developers willing to invest in it the hardware is there but the developers aren't because most of them are developing for the lowest common denominator which is consoles or old PC hardware. This is changing a bit as DX11 starts to be used more and PC hardware even in the mid range far outperforms consoles, most ports that run at 720p or lower on and 30 fps consoles can be run at 1080p 30-60fps and more details longer draw distance on midrange hardware today and that is without all the optimizations console games get. Just imagine what will be possible in another year of two...
