That's exactly why i love computer games. They're far more interesting than anything else right now because the development goes so fast. In 50 years (hope we'll still all be around by then) amazing things will be possible. Plugging into virtual realities might even be possible, at least i hope so. I guess, whenever they're gonna build the Matrix, they'll sure as hell need some level designers :)

Good thread :)

Hopefully we will slow down a bit on the graphics side soon, and focus on other areas such as AI, immersion etc.

Well, i think that unless something revolutionary happens (like mind-projected 3d or something), there's gonna be a point where graphics will be good enough. With every generation of games, the graphics get better and better which costs more and more exponentially. There's a bunch of stuff that can happen in my opinion. It simply gets too expensive to create a "new generation" of graphics. We don't need a million polygon characters. There's a border to the one next step thing. Or maybe gamers will refuse to pay twice as much for a game (because it took twice as long to make, since it's prettier) because in the end, it's the gameplay that matters. I think that we're almost at a point where graphics aren't gonna change dramatically anymore if you continue to work the same, we need some kind of revolution. And unless that happens, the point where graphics are "good enough" will be reached.

i still hate lucas arts for turning monkey island in a 3D-Game... that was soooo uncalled for. I loved the cartoony paitnerly style of Monkey Island 3, they should have just sticked with that....grrrrrrrr
