Evolution of Graphics...

[liambiscuit]

I was just thinking --

30 or-so years ago... top of the line graphics was Pong.

Now we have Crysis -- http://innergoat.modacity.net/net/crysis_demo/Crysis_2304x1440_7950GT512mb_23_compressed.jpg

Isn't this a great amount of work and lines of code in 30 years?

Think what graphics will be like 30 years from-now. Then thirty years from THEN. Do you think it is possible for virtual realities to be better than the real world?

What i mean to say is that normal water = boring. But i SUUURE would drink a glass of Virtual Water.

And  would humans become too dependent on these virtual realities because "OMG RL SUKS"?

Just a few of my thoughts on Computers. Whadda you think?

P.S. One  word about SkyNet i swear to god...

You would not be able to drink virtual water. It wouldn't make sense.
For example, if you drank some water in a Star Trek Holodeck, the water inside your body will instantly dematerialize once you leave the room.

As for SkyNet from The Terminator, it appeared to be an Artificial Intelligence that used computers all over the world to operate, much like Folding@Home does. Hmmmm...... 

Think what graphics will be like 30 years from-now. Then thirty years from THEN. Do you think it is possible for virtual realities to be better than the real world?

No need to think so far ahead. Just wait for five years and you will be amazed.

In Mother Russia They Have Graphics That Would Make You THink Of.....Many Things
You Should Step Across and See What You Think

What do you mean? What graphics? Source?

But I want to just play Pong!   

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

I don't care about graphics myself. I would rather play games for hours rather than play high-detailed eye-squabbing games for 40 minutes.

1.40 USD and minimal wiring will do
Shall I do for you
Am 2uite capable
and do all the time

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

$1.40 to do what, Laska? I am curious......

[Geek-9pm]

Here is a Pong game.

In 30 years it will still be the same.

So For to order the chip then you research the Circuit
And You go to the scrap box for parts as I do so Often
And for minimal amount you build the circuit & have
Your Happiness Not Only in what you have,
but also that you did it Youself
Satisfaction No ?

A circuit for what....

[liambiscuit]

Lol wow this got so off topic... =D --

-- And I'm not saying i like uber good 3D Graphics. Sure their nice, but me and an old game of TTD or some other dos game are just fine.

-- And I only wrote this because I was waiting on a download =D

-- And text-based still owns =D

but also that you did it Youself
Satisfaction No ?

We'll go with that.

you could have the best graphics ever but if the content isn't there then you pretty much have a nice picture and that is it.

[liambiscuit]

Yeah. I still think command-based rules =D

[Helpmeh]

EXACTLY! You need to have a balance of gameplay and graphics.

In like 10 years tha graphics are going to be real life.  Like a movie.  Like a blue ray movie.  I have crysis and those graphics are amazing!
