Up until the PS2 things were so far from any sort of realism, this thing was an emotional appeal for the virtual reality desire in our brains. But yes, the PR argument is shallow pornographic tease for the consumer brains. I may be too jaded but realism has almost no appeal since long ago, I now &#x27;drool&#x27; on limitations and how old games with so many crippling constraints were able to give you timeless memories. The only value of more rendering capabilities is the equivalent of video games magazine centerfold.<p>ps: I remember first time I ran Half Life, my computer was so slow I had to run in 320x200 with zero option, it was a pixel soup yet it sucked my soul. Rainbow 6 managed to lock me down for hours too. I understand the desire for more possibilities, but we&#x27;ve reached this level long ago, I&#x27;d say with the 2nd massive-city GTA.
