Posted July 12, 2013 Recently I have been thinking about our technology (mainly the graphics) of modern day computers compared to computers/games from the 80's and what it would have been like to show them modern day equipment, graphics, games, size of the computer, software. So my question is what do you think the future of graphics (or computing) will look like in 20 years to come? Obviously: Realistic-looking textures and lighting but what other aspects of gaming/computing will be improved/invented? - 3D? Extremely small computers that you can carry with you? Thanks.

Posted July 12, 2013 The worst-looking games would probably be similar to Crysis 3, with most games supporting some sort of VR device. We would probably have computers in our brains which would allow us to think of commands in order to use them. Peripherals like keyboards and mice would be obsolete, and the lowest mainstream resolution of content would be ~8K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2013 Technology is not only advancing fast, but the rate at which it advances is increasing with it. It is accelerating so to speak. I think a lot more will be accomplished in the next 20 years that what has been accomplished in the passed 20. “Snorting instant coffee is the best,” said Kayla Johns, 19, of Portland.

Posted July 12, 2013 i think it will be different to what everyone expectsi think game makers will start not to use the highest possible ghrafics due to the high costs and will instead try to emulate the Indie games success and try to games more focused on story and gameplay oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

This is true, as is why I am asking for peoples opinions on what will be changing over these next few decades.

Posted July 12, 2013 i remember when my brother lost his shit after playing Mario64 for the first time it used to take a small group to make great games now it takes an army and 5+ years and if u fail once or twice the company gets bankrupt humans are the bottleneck If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

Posted July 12, 2013 and i also think when people DO start to use the full potential of ghrafics in games in the future they will drag it on for a long time like WOW because they will easily be able to make the costs back like what the latest skyrim is trying to do oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

Posted July 12, 2013 i also think there will be a huge crank down on piracy like how ea is trying to make every game online so that they get the most money possible out of games oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

Posted July 12, 2013 so am i the only one who thinks ghrafics won't get better unless there mmorpg's due to high costs of future Graphic? oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

Posted July 12, 2013 so am i the only one who thinks ghrafics won't get better unless there mmorpg's due to high costs of future Graphic? i don't think the cost will be too much. how many years have we been getting newer card for almost the same cost? | i5 3570 | Palit GTX 680 jetsream | Gigabyte Z77x-ud3h | Corsair Vengeance 2x4 1600mhz | WD Caviar Black 1TB | Corsair TX 650m | Coolemaster Hyper212 X | NZXT Pantom 410 | Asus VS239 | Logitech G400s | Click here to learn how to troll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2013 i don't think the cost will be too much. how many years have we been getting newer card for almost the same cost?lol i don't mean the cards you missed my point entirely the development costs will increase hugely so that game makers CAN'T use the the best ghrafics possible any more if you read my earlier posts you can see this oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

Posted July 12, 2013 Everyone thinks that gaming will go more realist graphics. Sure. But I have a different perspective on things. Video games, like early days of movies, are establishing themselves more and more as art. So with higher computer power, we allow for more creative looking game. For example, look at Journey style art, or Zelda WindWaker with it's cel shading looks, of Zelda Skyward Sword with it's subtle mosaic style occurring on it blur effect on it's depth of field, with it's detailed water color style going on, and the list is huge, mentioning every single game out there. It's about every game out there, even realistic ones, could be considered as art, like paintings periods. Video games is art, and higher computation power will be able to deliver new art experiences and style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
