LOL! You clearly know nothing about how game graphics are made. xD

And you do? Are you an animator or involved in the gaming industry?

Kratos in GOW 3 was made of 20k polygons, how can a titan thousands of time larger than him be made of less than a million polygons. I know they are not as detailed as him, but they are still very detailed.

The size of a model doesn't directly translate into more Polygons. Polygons can be different sizes.

You would likely be looking at a similar poly count as Kratos.

To put things in perspective... Most next gen games Are hovering around the 60-150k Polygon counts for a character, Star Citizen is using some ship models that are in excess of 7~ million polys.

However... Thanks to the amazing advancements of technology... GPU's and Game Engines are pretty pgood at culling Polygons that will not be seen by a player, so those counts are substantually reduced.
