The Most Realistic Video Games Yet

PopSci.com.au writes: "Games are beginning to exploit the computational muscle of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to generate characters and environments that follow the rules of reality, not just preset sequences. Developers have finally figured out how to write software that takes better advantage of the multiple processing cores in the Cell chip that runs the PS3 and the Xenon CPU that powers the Xbox 360. By performing several tasks at once, the chips can execute billions more instructions per second than their predecessors."

Yeah, can't wait to see how they'll look next gen.

PotNoodle6072d ago

The jump from this gen to the next will be as big as it was from last gen to this one.

REPLOID246072d ago

look similar to the pc games out now.

Darkseider6072d ago

Consoles games right now if the time is taken look similar to PC based games right now. If you compare the average gaming PCs graphics to a consoles on a 37"+ 1080p set there is a very small difference. Now same cannot be said about the super SLI rigs out there BUT the graphics cards and memory alone in most of those rigs cost more than both the XBox 360 and PS3 combined toss in a couple hundred more and you have the 37" 1080p set as well. Next Gen, whenever that will be, will be comparable to todays higher end SLI rigs but the jump like DeathroW22 pointed out before won't be as great as was from the previous gen to current gen.

This was in last months magazine.

I think we're quickly going to get to the point where console hardware will be ahead of development tools and gaming engines. That's where the advances will be needed, not the hardware.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro51d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher59d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy59d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster59d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot59d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer199259d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal59d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast59d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
