Just because you look at your video game and think wow jeez this looks pretty real! doesn't mean you're going to be making your own movies any more than digital audio editing means you're a rock star. Remember, you're no francis ford coppola. If you were you'd probably be working on making movies already instead of waiting for ut2k9 to come out.

Wrong? I guess in your opinion. Just because people look at game engines and say wow, you could make a film doesnt mean that people will be, at least for things you'll go and pay $10 at the theater for. My opinion would be that you've been drinking too much of the kool-aid, at least as much as those who predicted midi would replace studio musicians by now. If nothing else the focus and economics of it don't make any sense, computer games (and their engines) have far less general appeal and far less money thrown at them than cinema does, why would a niche market drive (and take over) a huge market? I think if anything the reverse is much more likely to be true, a future where electronic cinema technology aids in the creation of games (such as the film work and motion capture that was done for the matrix game)
seriously how can you deny this is the future? Did you watch the animatrix? In that first scene on the first episode where the chick is doing all sorts of crazy acrobatics running all over town and she gets swinging around a bar with the camera pointed right at her head and her crotch as she swings around and around i knew that 3d computer porn will one day go mainstream. Look at porn today the actors and actresses are general no real prize. Why not do it digitally?
