video game graphics peaked?




hippopotom


I've been noticing that the graphics of the newer games are the same, have they finally ran out of ideas? like how cod black ops looks the same as the new elder scrolls skyrim. has anyone ever heard of octrees? why have they never used those before?
good points, i'm just saying, if they were to make the new xbox successor in 2015 use octrees, that would be fu**ing amazing, you could put so much in to that little disk of theirs. and are they still going to use disks? or are they just going to put all of it on the cloud?
@ nasty1.

no one said that they don't care about the game itself. i was just wondering why i see all these game reveiw plays and the graphics were identical.



Answer
The main reason game graphics seem to have halted somewhat at the moment is because developers usually aim games at consoles, as that's where they sell best. Even multi platform games where the primary platform is pc like battlefield 3 need to run well on consoles, and for this reason, at the moment developers are limited by console hardware. They've simply pushed Xbox 360 and PS3 to their limits and beyond what they thought they were capable of. We won't see better graphics in games until the next generation of consoles come out, which will most likely happen between Q4 2013 and Q4 2015

Is the Precision T1650 a good gaming computer?

More specifically, I have the option to purchase one (the build with 8 gigs of RAM and 500 gig hard drive ->) for about $200 secondhand. I am currently saving up to purchase the Tom's Hardware Q1 2013 $600 gaming PC build. Games I will want to play include heavily modded Minecraft, Skyrim, World of Tanks, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead 2. Which is the better option? Why or why not?

Links to what I'm talking about:

Answer
No.
For gaming the tomshardware computer is much better.
1. The i5 cpu is a slightly better gaming cpu. The xeon is a better all purpose cpu for intensive computing.

2. The Graphics card is much better in the tomshardware computer. See the link. 841 vs 18

3. I would increase the ram to 8 GB in tomshardware computer.

4. I would trust tomshardware for info over dell.

For gaming it is all about the graphics card and ram. Google for "how to build best gaming computer" and you will see what I mean.
Good luck
