God knows where PCs will be by then.

Look at this for example: (in game)

Stupidly detailed face

Facial textures of Crysis are better, but I preferred the whole look and feel as well as lighting of FarCry 2 over Crysis. Plus FarCry 2 isn't like watching paint dry, unlike Crysis.

Our opinions couldn't differ more on that front then i guess

I don't think we're even close to peaking personally.

No.

The improvements are becoming more subtle, that's all.

One of the first things I'd do with a time machine is take a modern PC back 10-15 years in time just to see the faces of people when you show them where it's all heading

Second would be taking a Range Rover to the Old West

Don't you think, though, that if such a machine existed then someone from 2024 could travel back and see the same look on your face after showing them a few games from that era?

Screw that!

Mixture of SAS/Delta Force (with suitable supplies etc) sent back to Medieval times :>

Epic lulz
