If you have any technical interest in seeing what the next flight sim might look like, I think that GTA V is worth a look. I've been exploring the GTA5 world. I think that it is an amazing virtual world. In short here's what stands out to me:
I'm posting this because I'd like to hear the thoughts of others. I'm also curious to see what some of the more technically minded folks think about the likelihood is of seeing these features in a virtual world that encompasses the entire planet as opposed to a just small 400 square mile island.
- Much of the land geography scenery is comprised of textures that are either photoreal or close to it. They look good from altitude & from up close. Wind movements of grass and trees has a level of animation.
- The textures of roadway, lighting, & buildings is repetitive in a very realistic manner. Many of the buildings and structures still have an drawing look vs photo. They're very high resolution. Either 90% of the structures are individual textures or there are so many textures that the repetition is not noticeable.
- AI is generated by the server and displayed onto the client. AI exists in many forms
- People & animals
- Land vehicles
- Air vehicles
- Water vehicles.
- I've not seen any AI water creatures.
