Live Action

摘要

The "next-generation" game consoles such as Sony's PlayStation 2 are delivering 3D graphics that are tantalizingly close to realistic. These graphics are not photorealistic yet, but the promise of film-quality imagery, which would be the ultimate in real-time eye candy, tempts many game developers to focus on creating "cinematic games." Not Hvan Hirsch, head of visual development at Electronic Arts Kurope. "I think game developers should be looking at broadcast television as a model, not at film," he says. "Film is scripted, but games are live events, regardless of their genre. It's television, not film that covers live events. Plus, while we're a ways away from film-quality imagery [in games], we're getting very close to broadcast-level images."
