TechRadar writes: It can be tough to remember, but over the last 30 years, we've moved from simple shapes floating around black screens pretending to be spaceships, all the way through simple sprites, full-screen cartoons, full-motion video and early experiments in 3D, and into blisteringly detailed virtual worlds that we can explore at will.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
It really does make you think about how far graphics have come. And you know what the best thing is? they're only getting better. :)
games have come forwards graphically so much its incredible...
To think that in 1995 the ps1 released, and withing just 5 years the ps2 launched with its best looking games like MGS3 and god of war blowing away what the ps1 could do.
And now weve got the 360, ps3, and then crysis on the PC which with a good compunter creates images which look so close to real the line between real and virtual blurs to the point you cant tell the difference.
Think how much graphics have come on sonce the ps1, about 14 years, now think what we will have in 14 years time....
To some extent :)
I think there will be a point in time "soon" where graphics just won't matter because it become so realistic it can't get any better, the next big things will be AI and controllers "something like Natal and Sony motion controller but much more advanced", i believe that will be the future of gaming, very advance AI, and very involved gamer experience.
Good read! First game that really had me drooling over its graphics was final fight in the arcade. When 3d sneaked into our games in form of virtua fighter and virtua racing i wasnt really that impressed.
Yeah i m old ;)
