And we have to considers things like: -We have always seen almost the same size of jumps to the next gen: 8x to 16x more memory, more and more processors power, teraflops, etc. Always folowing the moore law. -But, meanwhile( and because of that), games are becaming each time more and more expensive to develop. -Other thing to consider is that we are reaching visuals almost as rich as the real life! at some moment, someday, more power wont lead to more realistic visuals than we will achieve. -And we are reaching a bottle neck in the size of transistors, using silicon, we wont be able to keep the same proportion of hardware power increase and proce drop due the transistor size limitation. So, soon we can throw moore law away. But it is starting. Considering all these statements, how do you think that will be the ps5 and xbox 2 specs? we can expect 128 Gb ram memory consoles? one of the components wont be able to improve to follow the other?if so,what will be the bottle neck, the processor, bandwidth? If the jump wont be as bigger as we expect, it can help nintendo(that usually dont go full specs)? I would really like hardware experts opinions. |
No, not even near of it. When it comes to optic, yes. But you forget the details. Stones, Sand and so on still doesn't move when a character walks on it, only your footsteps are there (Destiny for example). Wet Leafs don't lose water when you touch them, animations are still not like real life (not 100% fluently). There are very much things you can still improve.
