BETTER THAN FINAL FANTASY MOVIE GRAPHICS
Whoever said that graphics aren't going to get much better than they are now, are out of their freaking minds, look what they are working on now, and in 5 years, this is what gaming will look like... pretty much indistinguishable from real life. The hard part will be making it so you can blow up graphics this good (turok style)
click on the movie below to see how they captured animations, and can dynamically do lighting and facial animation while using a moving camera. My guess is by NEXT next generation, they will be able to render a whole environment and multiple people with this technology.
