oops poow Creator

Ruad, do you think that gaming will ever have that sort of imaging?

RuadRauFlessa · Post by **RuadRauFlessa** » 29 Jan 2006, 19:16

well it is getting close to it

Just take a look @ the Unreal3 engine. Also gaming isn't just about images. The AI and voice command system ni the U3 engine is just amazing. You tell someone to go find out what is going on in the cave over your headset and he goes and finds out then replies to you. You can apparently as it an indefenite ammount of times and get a diffirent response although the meaning might be the same. You can also use free form speach. Not like "Pat" + "cave" + "report" but "Pat would you please go to the cave and find out what the situation there is like".

Intuitive? Or getting more like AI?

****... K, well I figured out my problem. I'm connecting through GPRS, and once again stupid Vodacom is limiting my broswing. I also have problems connecting to a server through Telnet through certain ports. Vodacom seems to restrict connections through and to certain ports. Don't ask me why, but it sucks badly!

Guess I'll have to wait till I can connect through a decent, slow 56k dial up! Bleugh.

Games are still very far away from anything like that visual quality.

But, like Ruad said, there's a lot more things making a game a game.

It's not really fair comparing it to pre-rendered material.

Developers cant even compete with age old animation like Toy-Story yet, and if my memory serves me well (PCF UK interview early last year before launching 6800 series) an nVidia spokewoman said that their roughly 10 years away from doing so.

Btw, the first truly DX10 game currently in development is Crysis. You can check-up some hearsay over at gamershell, unfortunately all screencaps for this game has been pulled from the net. Gamershell had one, it's now gone.

DX10 capable hardware is apparently coming 2nd half 2006.
