The Dramatic change in Video Game Graphics

Posted on July 13, 2014 at 2:24 pm

When you stop and take the time to really think about how far video games have come, it’s quite absurd. In the last 20 years games have gone from non-colour displays to those with colour screens, touch screen controls and no physical controller at all in the case of the Xbox Kinect, but perhaps the graphic improvements are more impressive.

There will be games that we used to be astonished by, perhaps Grand Theft Auto Vice City, but now if we look at this game it would be fair to say that the graphics are poor. Every new version of a game released tends to have improved graphics, but we’re now seeing clearer changes on the Xbox One and the Playstation 4.

Graphics only continue to improve and it’s hard to predict what video games will look like in 10 or 20 years time but it’s an interesting development and we’re an extremely lucky generation to be able to experience these improvements.
