What you can do with a computer game if you really try

These scaled-down images don't really do it justice. Go here, click through to the full sized ones and then expand them to full size.

Good lord.

Well.. I guess THAT won't be running on my PC. :)

it's visuals like this that make me depressed to have to live in the real world.

Id Tech 5 [Rage] and the Epic Game Engine [Gears of War] have never failed to amaze me with how beautiful some scenes can be rendered.

Two things that both these companies excel in that others never seem to match. Id games since Quake3 can have areas of no detail you dont want to go into. Dark doorways that slow the player down instead of rushing straight in. The Gears of War series environments seem to be more solid than any other game.

Needs more robots ;->

But seriously - that is beautiful work.
