Looking at the advent of gaming technology with the new releases of the xbox 360 and the ps 3 both coming later in the year I was wondering how far gaming could be pushed. I mean as far as I can see you can push the technology until you have a real scene but would this be beneficial to people being able to load a reality of their own effectively?. Partner dumps you thats ok make a scene where they havent really. Fantasise about your partners best friend? make a sex scene with them in it all in your own private world.
I was thinking in situations like these it would either be very therapeutic or quite dangerous to the human psyche.
Games are on their way where you can scan your own face into them...how far is it before detailed sex games start to appear which you can upload any face into?
It probably isnt far away at all.

I think we're still quite far from what you're proposing, especially when rendering in real time at a commercially viable price.

Samildanach · May 18, 2005, 11:47 am

Not for faces...the tip of the iceberg is there.

We continually upgrade video cards and such. I have always wondered if we will ever get perfect rendering and finally can stop upgrading.

I want it to be so good that I can run away from the people and kill them in a 3d room that I bought... I WANT THAT...

iamhaneef · May 21, 2005, 03:58 pm

well video games will probably become some virtual reality game soon. By soon i mean 20 years. We would have developed processors, vid cards, and all that stuff to the point of near perfection. When you can by a 1 gigabyte nvidia vidio card, we've gone too far.

I read a theory that we are living in a program created by advanced humans to see what life was like 'back in the day', but technology is so advanced it seems real....

In the same artical is said that eventually we will become so advanced we will create a similar program with people living in it who are unaware. So in theory we could be a program within a program with a program etc.

Physics are the current gaming evalution. Sure graphics will always ramp up but being able to knock out supports on a bridge and watch as the structure collapses, crushing the ragdolling bodies of soldiers that fall and got caught in the reck with supply trucks falling on top of them, thats something new to look forward to. Once we perfect physics i dont doubt AI will be next. All these things constantly evolve but they have been coming in waves with the new hard ware advances. Like the gob smacked jump in graphic quality from software to the first 3D acceloration cards, just wait till we get an eye full of the first physics proccessors. Mmmmm, 10,000 ragdoll massacre.......

Samildanach · May 23, 2005, 10:08 am

I see what you are saying egg. Even if we do get perfect holographic projectors we will need some kind of physics engine to give the objects within the game the feeling they are real.

The PS3 as it was shown and described by Sony is vaporware, and that controller is CRAP! Who made that? Pelican?

Physics in game took a real leap foreward with HL2, man that was some incredible stuff...

The real future is in PC games, Consoles will always be a few years behind. The best thing Consoels can do is sports.

**Sean** · May 24, 2005, 08:11 pm

anyone on xbox live? I play

Mr.Vicchio · May 24, 2005, 08:26 pm

Once in a while, I do most of my online gaming with my PC.

Consoles are PC's now. The two are basically vectoring to the same thing 10 years from now.

Mr V. I am surprised you do not participate in the game "Socom 2: U.S. Navy Seals" for playstation 2.

I played HL and I think it is very un-realistic.

**Pooeypants** · May 25, 2005, 04:25 pm

Try Half Life 2...

any first person shooter game is un-realistic. Requires less aim.
