Non Sequor on 09 January 2008
Just as the invention of photography reduced the importance of realism as an objective of art, precipitating impressionism, I expect there to be a backlash against realism in games in the coming years.
Ultimately, I think realism is boring. There's only one way to make something real, but an unlimited number of ways to make something fake. We've only begun to tap the potential of the effects, moods, and styles that graphics hardware can produce.
