| CGI-Quality said: 2D-to-3D was a specific leap. SD-to-HD was a specific leap. However, the latter was a bigger leap, to me, because games, lietrally, went from a decent image to pristine. The kind of jump that I expect from PS3-to-PS4 / 360-to-720, however, is the one I hoped for with the 7th gen. The next time we'll see a move to anything like 2D-to-3D is when games move to real time ray tracing, voxels, and full tessellation mapping. That is still, at least, a gen or two away. |
By the time the next next gen brings real time ray tracing, voxels and full tessellation mappings I think art design and clever coders will have already raised the bar. What I mean is that games will continue to look better and better throughout the next gen and when the next next gen comes we will again be saying that the leap isn't as big as expected.
