They're QuicktimeVR, not plain vanilla screenshots. You can pan, zoom and tilt the camera.
Trolling is a art,
I agree with what you are saying, only it is just bland statement of what needs to be done next. For example, first there were single colored polys. To simulate higher polygon counts, textures came along. We have reached the point where textures are not needed, and their purpose has shifted to paterns, verses drawing every detail like mouths and such. You know what I mean. It is AWESOME that people still have a goal, like yourself, to look foward to in graphics rather than just higher poly counts. I think HDR is just a small step in the right direction. I personally still want my games to look like games rather than real life. I still want a suspension of reality. I want things to look slightly surreal.
