Now before anyone says anything. Yes Crysis is pretty **** impressive on max settings. Obviously the movie Avatar is still superior, though it goes for a more "obvious" CGI look, then trying to go with a gritty realism look.
Regardless, how many years do you think it will be until video games look so detailed, so many organic looking, fluid, movements and environments that it really does start to come close to reality. As in 99-100% perfect water movement, including when objects are thrown into it and the like. 99-100% accurate foliage reaction to explosions, human interaction(stomping on plants) etc.
I personally don't think it will be too long. It depends how much money a company is prepared to throw into a ground-breaking realise. Just as something like $300mil was thrown into Avatar. I'd guess 10 years and we'd be doing well. I mean **** compare a shooter in 1997 to Crysis in 2007...we've come along way. I don't doubt a spectacular FPS in 2017 will blow Crysis away.
My only concern is companies are starting to pander to the "casual gamer" a little too much for my liking. I mean we have new RTS games which are scrapping the base building aspect totally. Likes of C&C4, Dawn of War 2, I admit Dawn of War 2 is half RPG really, but C&C4 has no excuse in my books, ruined the series with this game. I'm starting to waffle on so I'll stop now, hope you enjoyed the read and feel free to comment.

), that's when we'll have awesome graphics, and perfect water simulation and such.
