@ CGI If you really like this stuff you need to buy a new computer every year just to keep up with technology.

Yeah, it doesn't look like gameplay, so I'm guessing CGI as well.  It's called "The Secret World" and is in development for the PC and 360.  It's an MMO, and details are very sketchy, so I'm really only commenting on the CGI...  but it does look pretty kick-ass, huh?  As soon as I read your post it immediately brought this trailer to mind.

It is an interesting subject that I have read some about before. I have certainly seen some fine examples of it.

This may sound like hyperbole, but I truly don't believe it's too farfetched to envision The Matrix or a Star Trek holodeck within the very near future. Not in the next ten years, of course, but most of us will be alive to see it.

Good read CGI although that link to the girl that follows your mouse was a bit creepy to me. I guess probably because to she's in the uncanny valley.

This thread is just filled with amazing graphics now >

Strikes me there are two ways out of this here valley.

That-a-way is a mighty steep path, full of pits and crumbles. It'll cost you a lot to get out, and when you get there you find reality ain't all it is cracked up to be, no sir. It looks, well, kind of ordinary. Just the kind of reality you see every day and you will wonder what the point of it is.

But this-a-way there is a gentle slope out, and magic beyond. Nope, there's no reality, but there are blue cartoon hedgehogs, Italian plumbers, little guys in green hats, fairies, dragons and the whole world of the imagination.

I've seen many try the steep slope. They all want to be the first up there. But somehow they all come back with me for a bottle of milk, a bit of coin-collecting and then we go off huntin' giant mad spiky turtles.

Reality - who needs it?

Misleading title. Boobs missing.
