loool, i think most people missed the point from the post and comparison. These next gen pics are probably the least impressive we've seen leading up to a new generation. Of course they're better then the ps3 and current pc games, but what happens when you don't a million lava particles conveniently hovering over your hammer,..... The game won't look too far off what we've come to expect.

I'm excited but in comparison to previous generations, this is more a half step. Like the dreamcast vs gamecube. We're at a point where games are looking like HQ GCI, thats as good as graphics need to be. But without a doubt we will see more impressive things then those UE4 pics, we've haven't even seen it in motion, that could change everything.

If you really think games look like CGI you don't know a lot about graphics, do ya? They are nowhere close to that level.

They obviously are'nt equal to GCI, i meant to say they're approaching CGI. Even then i'm refering to a likeness, just compare the facial models of Elle (last of Us) and the women featured in the diablo 3 trailer. Of course were not close to having a game where every single strang of hair animates individual but such details are reduntant. However its clear there is a massive difference between the quality of particle effects, cloth simulation etc.


Also CGI is a massively general term, I'm talking specifically about its use in games where its normally used to portray things which may be difficult in-engine, whether it be scale, detail on a character or fluid animations of a battle. There are very few things that the ps3 can't faithfully recreate, let alone modern PCs. Of course thats not to say there isn't room for improvement, as proven by the vids posted earlier
