  • It's funny you said you looked out the window and saw the 3D effect when you were younger.....It's exactly what i noticed after playing sega's last battle for the first time and was coming home from a holiday with my parents!

    Man i wanted the console BAD after i noticed that, and i thnk it was just before xmas at the time!

    I got it!

  • ... one of my favorite videos of yours.

  • OMG DUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY

    nah im jk im notta troll

  • You have completely changed my lifestyle and way of looking at things Hobbs. I know your probably not looking at this as this video is a few years old. Before I watched your videos, my life was a mess, I had a horrible mouth on me, and I didn't look at things for the small effects. Bad example but in WoW, I would look at a mountain and just see a mountain, but you made me realise its more than that, its more than just pixels, its one persons work of art that they spent countless hours designing.

  • OMG A DOUBLE RAINBOW!

  • @4z4r3th SPA= SPASTIC, fucking american

  • @4z4r3th i bet you have nothing else to do in your live but troll vids ...sad

  • @4z4r3th dont fucking watch it then you spa

  • Double Rainbow!

  • OMG Dubble Rainbow

  • There is no law or rule that says my table should have pen engravings (and what those engravings say), a coffee mug stain in the top right hand corner and a piece of gum stuck underneath its top. So it becomes the case that the enormous task of modelling the world is merely replaced be the equally enormous task of designing rule sets for it.

    By the way, I was not angry in my previous comments. Enthusiasm through the use of caps is not always translated well over the internet.

  • @imatube2 I still say you're thinking inside the box. Your feet are planted way too firmly. You have to have your head in the clouds for this kind of thing.

  • Having said that, the point I was trying to make was that while games may reach the heights of films like Avatar or Beowulf, there is always the sensation that something isn’t quite right, or something is missing. Because there is. And to this point games will arrive at a place where they look “real enough”. Beyond that point we would be playing a fools game. Trying to recreate the real world in its infinite detail and complexity is too big a task.

  • And even if we develop hardware that could replicate reality (impossible) we are still limited by our own artistic abilities. It would take ten years to model my tiny backyard in all its detail, and even then it would be a poor excuse for reality.

    And to the people who point to Avatar... well, no one ever mistook Avatar for real life. Not once did I ever think it was shot with 32mm film. It looks all pretty and shiny and spectacular - but it’s no replacement for real life. Not even close.

  • Quantum computers will make games look like reality.

  • @nexus1g No.

  • @imatube2 Why not?

  • @nexus1g People that say games will be able to emulate reality are so far removed from what is real.

    Take a look outside. Look at the ground. I can see ants. Are they going to model a whole functioning ant colony? Are they going to model each individual ant with its tiny leg hairs and moving antlers? Each grain of dirt? Look at a leaf. Each one is entirely different in its pattern of miniature veins, colour, shape, texture. LOOK AT THE FUCKING WRINKLES ON YOUR HAND.

  • @imatube2 Calm down there sparky. You're frothing at the mouth. You're also thinking inside the box. I suppose you haven't considered that with immense processing power, you don't actually model each different ant or texture each individual wrinkle in your hand, you program rule sets. Think of the physics engines we see now in games. We don't need artists animating every single possibility that a box will fall off an edge, we just program the rules of physics it should abide by.

  • @nexus1g Random generation can only get you so far, as there are way too many variables and materials at play here. Physics is a little different because it is subject to constant and rigid laws (art, visuals, and artificial intelligence are most certainly not). And here is the catch - you still have to apply attributes to every object/substance in the game in order for them to behave correctly. And these attributes are skeletons of their real world counterparts.

  • hey hobbs u have to think what if this is al a simulation i mean look when you zoom in enough it becomes like a pixel questtion is who or what created it just throwing that out there

  • Double rainbow all the way!

    So intense!

  • Its a joke video to tell you guys real life has things to look forward to then just playing games all day guys . Fuck you haters

  • Im playing this game now . It has nice graphics . Im level 16 hahahahaha

  • OMG ITS A DOUBLE RAINBOW!

  • you talk pure wisdom..... kinda like a father takin his kid out and teaching him things that, you know, only a father knows...... great vid :D

  • Even though real life has good graphics, I tried ganking a human hunter IRL and I was arrested -_-

  • Nice VIDEO Hobbs keep them comeing

  • This guy knows.....

  • Weird as it may sound, but this shit is really relaxing. Have actually helped me with my Insomnia. So I Give you a huge Thanks James :)

  • Look how good Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 looks. Just look how far we've come from games like Combat, and that was only 30 so years ago. Imagine how good the graphics will be in 30 years..

  • The real Hobbs is cool.

  • Guys stop being fuckers hobbs is a very wise man he is married and has a life its just his hobby to play wow and as a eleven year old looking up to a adult that is very cool to me u guys prob didnt even no the stuff before he made this vid u guys are just trying to not make urselfs look bad so why not u guys get a life and stoping fckin wit james im fuckin sick of all u dam trolls on youtube

  • NOT WITH THAT CAMERA

  • You are very intellegent James, I hope you will do more videos like this in the future! You seems like a nice guy. This video was inportant to show people that you prefer real life, before computer or TV world! Awsome!

  • Hobbs this is the first video ive seen of you doing Grizzly Hills dailies. Moar.

  • @Vordoc00

    lol

  • I actually really enjoyed this. You're extremely wise, James.

  • Haha.

  • i love these kinds of vids MAKE MORE!!

  • I actually think a lot of video games look BETTER than real life. :/

    Flower looks sooooooooo much better than real life.

  • @arbitor365 - You are the Man!!!

  • getting a woman is not easy, it means you need replace 50% of your life with pleasing her, that 50% can be spent farming gold in WoW.

  • Wow. LOL.

  • @CityHunter84  amen

  • My god you should take the blupill and stayed connected to the Matrix.

    but you've chosen the red ;D

  • LOL!!! Never?? How about in the year 3,000 when we are colonising other planets etc. ??? Your an idiot, your just scared that technology is getting better and better. And i like to do stuff only possible/legal in a game

  • So does this mean people who need glasses need to upgrade their rigs to see RL in full HD?

  • THANKS CAPTAIN OBVIOUS

  • hushhh.

    btw have you seen Avatar?

  • but... but... you can't shoot people

  • well, this game doesn't even run in 1080p.

  • Wowhobs, you are stating the obvious. Even a 10 year old realise this. Why the fuck did you make this video?

  • CRISYS LOOKS BETTER!!!!!!!!!

  • Nice graphics.

  • NERD!!!!

  • So what game is that?

  • It's one of the truest statments in the world "games can't compleatly mimic The graphics IRL

  • I always loved exploring and when I came to rivers I would try to get across one time I almost fell from a log where the river was 40 feet down.

  • You...started...realizing...th­at games try to emulate real-life objects and environments...at the age of 40 or so???

    ALL art, from day 1, tried to emulate real-life. Until painters became "good" and computers became fast enough and people started creating sci-fi/fantasy images and paintings, all art emulated real-life.

    All sci-fi/fantasy art also keeps things very close to what things look like in real-life as well, so people can recognize a plant from a character and so on.

  • s.t.a.l.k.e.r clear sky uses some effects such as the shadows which are exactly the same as real life shadows, lightning is also made exactly as it is too, same with water on surfaces, the small things

  • I know you're agreeing with me, but I just want to point out that STALKER does not have shadows or lighting which are exactly like the ones in real-life. Real-life shadows are not shadow maps, they're not pixelated, they're not limited by a map resolution, etc.

    Light also bounces around and scatters in real-life, where as in STALKER it is just simulated at a very basic level (fake sud-surface scattering and simple ambient occlusion to fake light bouncing). Water is also not interactive.

  • well it looks pretty real XD

  • I think what he was trying to say is that no matter how good the emulation is, and no matter how many cool effects they add, real life is always more sublime.

    Or maybe he was just saying "Go out and see the sun occasionally, nerds"

  • I think so too. :) I love computer graphics, I've spent over a decade making them and learning more and more about them, but real-life is just infinitely complex.

    Even if you could make something look perfectly realistic, it still wouldn't behave perfectly realistic...and then there's space or, if you zoom in, cells, atoms, etc. The more we learn and see, the more we realize there's a ton more to see and learn.

  • blue fire and yellow fire. already is real ? omfg

  • art imitates real life

  • i agree with you dude.

  • This clip was taken when Hobb's was walking around in Grizzly Hills eyeballing the beauty of the zone, while he was searching for low level hordies to gank.

  • @dksftwpwned lol

  • I'm about to rant, so please stop reading now if you aren't in the mood to read one.

    I think that video games have this bad reputation right now of wasting people's minds and really wasting their time. It is as if doing something unproductive and fun is a bad thing. I think people have forgotten the reason we work in the first place. We work so that we can have fun later. Video games can be extremely fun and if people would understand that having fun is OKAY then we would be better as a society

  • i hope one day technology can run a simulated earth

  • What game is this? is it out for the 360?

  • @RedSushiNinja NO! Go away with ur 360 Gay shit!

  • lol I weed out the trollers, it was a joke. Learn to laugh.

  • it was a joke faggot bitch

  • James you got to keep taking your medication & hang in there pal. You need a holliday !

  • Warriors can't do huge pulls compared to dks pallys and druids. the only good health replenisher they have is probably an enchant they can get, called blood something..

  • james, you didnt say hey guys james here! i luv ur vids anyways man, if everyone was like you the world would be a better place...and everyone would be a pally, druid, or dk to pull massivly. :D

  • why not warrior ;o

  • he didn't say it because it's part 2 ^^

  • Thanks Dr. Phill

  • You rock, Hobbs.

  • DUDE hobbs is so fucking wierd

  • Damn man i love your videos. These vids on this trail are chill and have some interesting facts in there man. I love seeing how video games and all this technology has developed and changed.

  • DudE! its HOBBS IN REAL LIFE! sweet, keep on trucking on!

  • IS that the guy who plays that wow wowhobbs?

  • Comment removed

  • not all of us play games for graphics dipshit

  • Direct X 12?

  • holy shit Hobbs has a face.

  • im pretty sure this is awesome?

  • indeed man :)

  • idk what you talkin about hobbs, havent you need that new movie with ludacris? graphics are amazing

  • But your perspective of this video is coming from a video camera so Its not really from the human eye.

  • Mmm Yes.. Yes... interesting and all but, honestly. Who...Cares? no ones gonna do anything different than what they do now. :/

  • Why Dont You Do A Video On Karazhan Dont You Guys Agree Am I right

  • Is this running on the CryEngine 2?

  • well, although the newer games today are focused heavily on graphics and don't get me wrong they are becoming amazing, but even some games as simply as tetris can still provide some good fun. sure, it's a hell of a lot more limited with a few blocks than an entire "world" in a game, but it proves that you don't necisserily need a game to be perfect for it to be fun. i enjoy games like spyro / crash bandicoot more on ps1 than on ps2 or ps3.. it's just about the simplicity and the gameplay

  • holy hell i saw hobbs face

  • this is bullshit. already in movies they can produce photorealistic scenes // and videogames are about 15 years behind where movies are (graphics wise.) so in 15 years we will have photorealistic games. and in 40+ you will have better looking games than walking outside.

  • @YouDidntdoAnything While I do understand what you are saying, I disagree that it will be better than walking outside. While you may have technically 'better' graphics than what the human eye can perceive from outside, you can't match the same experience you get outside.

  • well yeah of course. going outside is fucking awesome. but graphics have already gone beyond photorealism. im just saying visually.

  • @YouDidntdoAnything Yea, with that I totally agree. Graphics are way beyond anything VISUALLY life can offer. You could in fact program that very bird in MUCH more detail and color.

  • @underu2000 if thats the case then explain away the gta series, or any sandbox game that attempt to mimic life in a city/world/environment .. there is a constant battle to improve the "realism" of games albiet graphically or with the content. what they do though is add the fantasy element to it.. infamous for instance lets you be a super hero/villian or gta again.. unless you are part of a criminal fraternity your not likely to steal a car and run down drug dealers or handle an ak47 ..

  • @underu2000 I think he was taking the perspective that games on average are becoming more realistic - becoming 3d, incorporating physics, dynamics, better illumination models, etc. But I think you are right that game makers are not necessarily trying to simulate reality in the same way that movies are -its just not the goal (I believe "emulate" is too strong a term in place of 'simulate' here, to emulate reality would be trying to recreate an equal reality-atoms and all)

  • What an idiotic video. Games are just that, games. Because technology is improving, so are graphics, and games seem more realistic as a result. But do not think for a second a game developer is trying to emulate real life. Games are meant for entertainment. Game developers know that, and gamers also know that. So there.

  • cups and cakes.

    cups and cakes.

    oh what fun, my mother makes

  • Moreover I'm sure mind altering substances and schizophrenia have resulted in many dragon battles.

  • your hot

  • Great video series, Hobbs!

  • what a stupid video. Try fighting a fucking giant dragon in real life, you dumb ass.

  • what a stupid comment. Try broadening your mind to real life, you dumb ass.

  • @Pwncakes1966 Trying realizing how stupid this video is, first off. Comparing video games to real life is pretty damn dumb to begin with, this video shouldn't make sense to anyone unless they play Madden or like 99% of GTA players.

  • @Maj0ra Well I was going to continue arguing with you, then I realized you were just plain ignorant. Have a good day!

  • @Pwncakes1966 I might of been ignorant but I mean the point still kinda stands, regardless of me watching this video or not haha. The guy has good intent and what not, but it's like come on, man.

  • I have tried fighting a fucking giant dragon in real life, it was hard, i nearly killed myself.

  • mmm...I don't know - especially when there is acid involved.

  • Holy shit Maj0ra, you TOTALLY missed the point of this video. dumbass.

  • @Skope111 I didn't miss the point, I think you just misunderstood my point. I come off kinda rude, but in all honesty, it's like I hate videos of random shit, people do what they wanna do regardless of this shit. No disrespect to the poster of the video but seriously, it's really like pointless and it pisses me off when people compare games to real life in any form.

  • That's the whole point of a first person

    shooter game, the more it looks like real

    life, the better it GETS!, if games didn't look

    like the way they look today in first person,

    then the shit would have been boring by now.

    That's why everyone is playing GTA4, Crysis, FarCry and so on..

    People want better graphics, not shitty graphics.

  • @JaySoKnown It's about gameplay first off, I don't play games for graphics so this video is pretty much nullified like I just really do hate when people make these types of videos, like who confuses games for real life? I just don't get the point.

  • We wouldn't have the graphics we have

    today if they didn't compare games to real

    life, It's like a thing now days, better graphics

    makes it a better gameplay, because most

    people want graphics in games to be like

    real life, because that's just a cool ass idea.

    That's the point of why they

    compare games to real life.

  • @JaySoKnown I understand that, but if I had to make an estimation I'd say this video is like the guy just discovered there was a life outside WoW, idk tbh I didn't watch the entire video and I prejudged it and I thought it would be preachy but it kinda isn't.

  • No real Life is an Emulation of Video Games... =P

  • ... I didn't know you were so old.

  • This is hilarious :P

  • <
