We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Could a game developed exclusively for XB1X aiming a maximum of 1080p/30fps achieve photorealism?

Not with organic elements, but it is is a little metal screw or nut that rolls down a table and everything is really limited to that small environment, and other things like that, it could really proximate the looks rendering software. They'll have to fake the ray tracing, but with little metallic objects I think you can fool people in real time.
Is it just me or does the guy talking in that clip remind anyone else of Mark Cerny in terms of his voice and cadence?
I dunno man, i know enough about games to know this looks pretty photorealistic... In every sense of the word.
im sure a game limited to 720p/30 could look absolutely mind blowing but photorealism is a tall order one that i don't think it can reach although an amazing game would still be created (in terms of visuals). I cant imagine what someone would be able to do with that hardware when we have something like TLOU2 looking like that on a PS4.
That's not even in game, that's just a mode where it puts down a car and tries to render the lighting from the already taken real world image and put it on the car.I dunno man, i know enough about games to know this looks pretty photorealistic... In every sense of the word.
I'd have to be completely wasted, have my glasses off and be looking through a pair of panty hose to believe that was a real car.
Granted there are much better examples of this game than that shot.
The problem with photorealism is that we don't really have the hardware and/or techniques for global photorealism. Photorealism tests often take place in interior environments where the shortcomings are less apparent. This demo was made 2 years ago.
There are a lot of things that hold up in selective screenshots, but fall apart under closer scrutiny. Skyrim graphics mods are an example of this.

Devs can't limit the XB1X to 1080p/30 because it will become sentient and create Terminators, which means they'll never recover their development costs.
Eh... PT has some pretty obvious shortcomings. Strange lighting, inaccurate reflections, and liberal use of chromatic aberration to smooth everything over. CA is pretty good for making graphics "pop", but while it kinda-sorta does qualify as photo-realism, CA-drowned graphics often don't hold up under scrutiny. Dying Light is an example of this.
Is that what its doing?! Lol, i hate racing games so the only shots i see of this game are on the resetera psn community, i just assumed it was all game... I stand corrected!
Yeah i thought the whole scene was rendered not just the car... Lol Thats on me since i dont follow racing games... Just the random screenshot here and there.
lol no ign has a video with a dev showcasing it before release. They just took irl photos of places and you can place cars which then the system will render in with the appropriate reflections. GT looks good but not that good lol
Imagine if Crytek had unlimited money to make a third person action adventure game. It would look something like this, which is rendered in realtime on a high end PC. Using outdated CryEngine tech. So it would probably look better in 2017.
Although they are going for a more stylized look. It's a shame we haven't seen a photorealistic CryEngine project in years.

That makes more sense... I was seriously staring at the scenery trying to figure out how it looked so real... I was super impressed for a hot second.
We can replicate photo realism with a talented enough team and some trickery but not a chance, if youre talking about rendering point for point photo realism.
You need a farm of absolute monster level processors to render single frames of cg in high budget films. And that takes hours upon hours per frame.
A commercial box is never going to have that fidelity or brute power, not any time in the near future unless theres a major technological breakthrough.

So was I first time i saw it was in the screenshot thread, then someone told me and it made more sense.
We are many years from achieving photorealism. Many more from it becoming standard.
Everyone should understand a 1080ti can be brought to its knees with ease @1080p. 4K even worse. VR not fairing very well either. I was shocked at how much I had to scale back in the lighting department alone.
It's important to understand that the best software engineers worldwide are working and bringing magical solutions once thought impossible. This is just a bandaid though because software isn't the issue.
It's important to remember we are only 50-60 years into this tech revolution. We are nowhere near the end and most important we are nowhere near the power levels required for a real physics engine let alone that plus several dozen highly complex systems all working in perfect harmony to bring you the games you see today.
Look at TLoU, GTS, Forza Horizon 3, Mario, Destiny 2, abd dozens more excellent games. Look at what Unreal gives people like me. Unity as well. We are all living in a period that no one before could even imagine and no one in the future will ever know. It's a magical time to be a person here on our 3rd rock from the sun.

540p dvds look more photorealistic than games. Wonder what factors are needed... Lighting for starters.
It deppends.
The only thing that I've seen from videogames that seems photorealistic to me is this Dying Light screenshot posted a long time ago in the old PC screenshots thread. Forgot the name of the user, sorry!

Let me know when even the best PC in the world can do mental ray™ (photon mapping) in real time:
