    Did anyone actually think that? I was around playing games at the time. Graphics can be mind blowing and you can still dream of how they could be better.

      I remember playing Donkey Kong Country as a kid and thinking it looked more real than real life.

    • It’s a weird thing, in my experience. Like, I remember a lot of old games having some just absolutely stunning CGI, especially cutscenes. But looking back, compared to what’s standard these days, they look like total shit. How could I have ever thought Spirits Within looked real compared to even the current games? And the movie was pre-rendered over many many hours, while the games are doing it all real-time.

        I remember sitting on the spirits within website looking at the renders of the characters and talking with my friend about how we couldn’t tell it was cgi.

        It is interesting how that changes over time.
