Cinematic Game Graphics

Posted by timothy on Sunday May 2, 2004 @06:42AM from the unfinal-fantasy dept.

CowboyRobot writes "LucasArts engineer Nick Porcino has an article detailing what to expect from graphics in the next generation of game systems including the "influence of cinematic realtime rendering, the promise of advanced lighting techniques and high-dynamic range images, the uses of the rendering pipeline, and the future of multiprocessor-based rendering and advanced geometry." These will allow run-time rendering of high quality backgrounds and characters, ultimately resulting in games that are closer to full-blown Pixar animations, allowing better narratives and more immersive user experiences."

Duke Nukem Whenever? by kyoko21 · 2004-05-02 07:00 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Does Duke Nukem Whenever fall into this? I wonder what the game will be like, and what the cut-scenes will be like? I wonder what the story line will be about? But what I am wondering is when it wil actually come out? :P
