@spidernatclip Yes, I know that. Thats why we have cutscenes...but obviously the unreal engine is nice because you rarely have cutscenes, and when they are they are done in real-time. I'm saying that those other games put out nice graphics but you need amazing hardware because of the shitty programming in the engine. I have a $600 build and I can run Unreal Games at 60-100fps at 1920x1080. Games like Crysis and Metro like 15-20 because of the shitty programming. FPS-Visual ratio...Unreal rules.

Wait, so what are these actually in-game-graphics, meaning that the acutal graphics in the gameplay itself will look exactly the same as the cutscenes; animation and texture wise. I need a yes or no answer on this one because this is bugging the crap out of me. I need these graphics on my future Wiiu.

The reason i'm ready for next gen console's is because they said the production time for a game shortens by 30%

actually this is a realtime tech demo running on 3 nvidia gtx 580 cards

@KronicKillaz Metro and Crysis are very hardware dependant, so it needs more than average gaming hardware to play at high res with good fps.

Haha a cg trailer is jaw dropping? It's like saying OMG watch avatar that's the next generation of games! Yeah well until I see in game footage I'm gunna assume these fucks just blow smoke to make people think they're making huge leaps..I'm sure next gen will be nice but it's not graphics that are the big deal..it's detail and killing bugs in the game..give me an open world fps with bf graphics on steroids no bugs..hookers..bombs..aliens and an adventure and I'll be happy

[Kryptoswitch]

Blah blah.....We made a CG movie with our engine....future games might look like this. Doesn't mean shit. Make a "future game", show it to me. I remember the XNA car crash demo that came out in 2004, 8 years on we still don't have anything close to that level of real-time reactive damage. Still all crumpled bumpers and scratched paintwork.
