1 edit | Graphics like this.... I'm planning to get a 22inch LCD monitor and was looking around for some wallpaper (1680 x 1050 widescreen), when I came across this photo of this. Now, imagine this in a FPS or FPS/RPG game with the clouds moving, the draw distance, blowing snow...shadows etc...etc. Anyone want to take a stab at how long till we get graphics like this? This reminds me of some of the snow maps I used to play on Novalogic's DF2 and DFLW games. Albeit, not as good....lol! This picture is courtesy of And Still I persist.

California | I would imagine that the Crytek CryENGINE 2 could produce something on this level. |

I don't know, but I like the picture a lot so I stole it to use as my wallpaper. |

It would be really cool but what (affordable) hardware would be able to handle it?

THE GRAFIKS R BAD
Seriously, while that would be an awesome idea, if I had my druthers, studios would focus more on story and application stability than making the game look good.

I suspect upcoming DX11 will give those results at acceptable frame rates. A link to a few screen shots of DX11 renders images.

DX11 is suppose to have some support for ray tracing, I hope DX12 offers full blown support for it. |

There are a lot of dark areas in that picture and only one light source so it wouldn't be as hard to render as you would imagine. |

I think Alan Wake comes pretty close. Look at that second screenshot with the sun reflecting in the water, it's amazing. |

| reply to delt4
Alan Wake seems like it will look pretty good, but I don't know if they will ever finish the game. |

Alan wake isn't out. So until a game is out that can actually render that in-game with all the action/AI, then I will believe it.
Until then, it's just fantasy.
