Nemmerle August 30th, 2011 03:49 PM Eh - as the cost ratio of assets compared to their sales value starts to approach 1-1 big studios are either going to have to step their game up or die out. They've been living off of making a shinier engine for years now without actually doing anything interesting with it. But we're approaching a time when making a fancier engine doesn't give you much - if any - comparative advantage. Crysis is still the high water mark in terms of graphics and it didn't blow the opposition away. Maybe we'll creep closer to photorealism over the years, maybe we won't. But the next decade's gonna be an interesting time for small studios trailing just behind the cutting edge (where it's far cheaper and the margins are better) I think. 5553550 Ghost Town? Lindale August 30th, 2011 04:24 PM I want holodecks to become a reality.  5553551 Re: Ghost Town? AlDaja August 30th, 2011 04:26 PM Actually, that technology isn't too far from reality. Give it 50-70 years and it'll probably be common place. 5553607 Re: Ghost Town? Arld August 30th, 2011 05:16 PM Indeed, holography is very close to become as real as what you can see in the ST films. Give it some time, and you'll have something similar... without the chances of the holograms actually being in a state of solidness. 5553610 Re: Ghost Town? AlDaja August 30th, 2011 05:22 PM The University of Colorado medical school is apparently using a holographic body projection in their graduate studies. From what I hear it is very similar in its presentation and use like in the TV show Bones. 5553624 Re: Ghost Town? Lindale August 30th, 2011 05:41 PM I may someday have my holographic paradise then!  5553704 Re: Ghost Town? AlDaja August 30th, 2011 07:56 PM Yeah, but you'll be too old to remember how to use it. 5553710 Re: Ghost Town? Nemmerle August 30th, 2011 08:00 PM When you're that old we'll just hook little electrodes up to the pleasure centres of your brain and zap you whenever you get crotchety. 5553715 Re: Ghost Town? AlDaja August 30th, 2011 08:06 PM Couldn't we just use a tazer? 5553792 Re: Ghost Town? AlDaja August 30th, 2011 09:41 PM Stop that laughing you! *taze*
