Visual Computing Still Decades from Computational Apex

[news 28]

There are few people in the gaming industry that you simply must pay

attention to when they speak. One of them is John Carmack, founder of

id Software and a friend of the site, creator of Doom. Another is

Epic Games' Tim Sweeney, another pioneer in the field of computer

graphics that brought us the magic of Unreal before bringing the rest

of the gaming industry the Unreal Engine.

 

At DICE 2012, a trade show for game developers to demo their wares and

learn from each other, Sweeney gave a talk on the future of computing

hardware and its future. (You can see the source of my information

and slides here at Gamespot.) Many pundits, media and even developers

have brought up the idea that the next console generation that we know

is coming will be the last - we will have reached the point in our

computing capacity that gamers and designers will be comfortable with

the quality and realism provided. Forever.
