Graphics Quality on Video Games
When will the graphics on video games equal and be difficult for the naked eye to distinguish from video pictures? Not HDTV or 3D, just video. Any guesses?

Earthquake!
I went to Norway for a vacation 6 years ago and we were sitting down to a nice dinner with our long lost relatives (literally in Tønjum, Norway) and we experienced an earthquake. It was the first one I’ve ever been in and I think it registered somewhere on the 4 scale. So not too…
Milk a Cow
Have you ever milked a cow? I bet there are a ton of people who haven’t. I have, and there was this one time I stayed with some friends (this was about 10 years ago) and they had a dairy cow. They had so much extra milk on hand that they came up with inventive…
Are you working on your business, rather than in it?
Question: What percentage of your time do you spend working on your business, rather than in it? We’ve all heard the proverbial phrase that you should be working on your business rather than just in it. Because if you are working for your company, all you’ve done is create a job. As a bonus question,…

Is offending a few people to potentially draw in a crowd worth the risk? Alec suggested this question and I think it is relevant to all of the recent questions I’ve been asking on BrainFuel.
Have you ever punched someone?
One time I asked a friend if he had ever been shot and he said yes. So with that cleared up he went on to tell me his story about being shot in the leg once and then thrown out a bar by the biggest guy he had ever seen. I’m not sure how he…

Generation after next. Next generation (by which I mean PS4, XBOX 450) will see players’ expectations exceed content generation budgets, and a rise in crude procedurely generated content, and *almost* enough triangles to look real (including true displacement maps), with some nurbs etc. The one after, will feature almost entirely procedural content, including hardware procedural geometry that needs no LOD modelling etc, and the phasing out of triangles for geometry.
That’s my 2c anyways 🙂
Hard to top MrFunk’s comment, i’d have to agree.
I dunno. That NBA 07 is pretty darn close to real. I was in a barber shop recently and didn’t realize that some of the off duuty barbers were playing it. I thought it was a real game until I paid real close attention.
I say 2, maybe 3 more years. With 8x processors and external graphics cards and physics cards, it’s coming.
Better question, how long until the computer out ranks the television for the main source of entertainment in most households?
My naked eye can’t distinguish a video game from a hole in the ground. I am about as blind as it gets. If I take my glasses off, everything seems “real” because it’s all “really out of focus”.
Our expectations of games’ video will always be led by the the best video available. With the current 1080p resolutions available, for graphics to become more realistic and similar to 1080p, IMHO, the video graphics will need to go past the 1080p. In other words, we need a four to ten fold development of graphic cards to reach that.
