THIS IS WHAT I THINK WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE GRAPHICAL ENGINE. I DON’T KNOW FOR SURE. Sorry about the poor quality, this was released before the days of youtube HD and I never thought that youtube would actually do it. Amazing how things progress, huh? Shame the same can’t be said about graphics technologies, which seem to have slowed down recently. I blame the current consoles and their hardware limitations. I feel that they will dictate the graphics in games from now on, pray for the Playstation 4 and Xbox big number soon! Although a lot of these technologies are playable in realtime already, I doubt we’ll see them in games for a while because game designers tend to make games for the lowest common denominator. Once the slowest PCs out can support things, we’ll see wider adoption of them. If you want to know how long that will be, try to follow the latest CPUs being released (Sandybridge and Bulldozer, from Intel and AMD respectively). These new CPUs manage to squeeze a graphics card on them as well. They’re still slow, though it would help the entire WORLD if they decide to step up their game a bit. Stupid integrated graphics. And stupid Nvidia for keeping PhysX to themselves, instead of letting other companies use the code as well. Nvidia has messed up the potential for real time physics in games, unless somebody comes along and makes an open-source equivalent. I guess that Havok is the closest thing to this. I also have some speculation at the end about Half Life 3 …
