[...] because I just love seeing where we're going with the quality of modern graphics. Things that were impossible when I was a kid with a Commodore 64... I dreamed that one day this and that will happen....and, well, it's happening now, and it's beautiful!!! For me, it's a dream come true!
Tru dat. Indie games are great, and are usually where the innovation is to be found. But mainstream games are where the money is spent, and graphics are probably the main beneficiary of this money.
I'm constantly amazed at how quickly graphics are improving. When I first played the likes of Tomb Raider and Resi, couldn't envisage graphics getting much better, or even needing to. but they did anyway. I remember played Gran Turismo 3 for the first time on PS2 and thinking 'surely this is it, they can't possibly get any more realistic than this'. And now, some 10 or so years later, it looks comparitively rubbish. Although it's almost impossible to envisage, experience tells me that even the most beautiful-looking games of today are going to look a bit rubbish in another 10 years time, and I can't wait to see what games look like then.
