Did game graphics really peak with Remedy's atmospheric thriller?
Graphics Matter: One of the original designers of Thief has some rather peculiar ideas about graphics in games. Randy Smith thinks the industry should have stopped advancing graphics around 2010 rather than spending massive amounts of money to relentlessly push photorealism in major AAA projects.
Something to look forward to: Remedy CEO Tero Virtala revealed some progress updates last week for several projects the studio has in progress. Currently, five titles are at various stages of development, including Alan Wake 2, Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake, Vanguard, Codename Condor, and Codename Heron.
