While I don't see a need for dramatically more advanced effects in game, it would be really nice to see increased performance to reduce polygonalization and pixelation artifacts. Hypothetically speaking, I don't think I would see a big need to get better graphics if you could double texture resolution and increase the number of polygons devoted to a particular model (in general a 50% to 100% increase should be enough). Certainly, the HD consoles don't produce photo-realistic graphics, but I don't really see the need for photo-realistic graphics. |
I'm ready for the next generation but it has almost nothing to do with how games appear. Even though I do most of my gaming on the PC, I'm not a "graphics" guy. I'm ready for more powerful consoles so developers can spread their wings on improvements like better AIs, more events taking place at once, and more interactive environments. That's what the larger studios have been stressing out over.
I think part of the reason people are looking for more "power" from Microsoft and Sony is that both have exclusives and developers that push the envelope. Nintendo doesn't really do that. They leave that kind of thing up to 3rd party titles.
