During the Develop in Brighton conference Sweeney stated that we can expect games to be indistinguishable from reality in the near future. Advances in technology will enable developers to render environments with a high level of detail.

“We’ll be able to render environments that are absolutely photorealistic within the next ten years,” he said.

Different tech companies such as NVIDIA and AMD have tried to push the boundaries of technology to achieve photorealism while trying to avoid the uncanny valley, several tech demos convey that the goal of making CGI identical to reality is in fact possible in the near future.

Great developers like Hideo Kojima have been striving to develop engines (like the Fox Engine) that will allow them to achieve photorealism and earlier this year Activision revealed a new video powered by NVIDIA tech to display near life-like facial expressions, which it claimed was taking place in real-time and ran at 180 fps.
