Looks Like stuff from Battle field 360 engine.

It's Japanese so you would need to find some one from Japan to elaborate on.

That's pure CGI. There are a lot of movies from the same source, often using the same models.

Yes, games will look like this someday. When I started flying simulations, my screen looked like this:


This is what it can look like, now (and this is only the old engine...)

Ahh, Fighter Pilot - don't know how many hours I've spent with that old game in the mid-80:ies. Those where the days when we dreamed of upgrading our Spectrums from 16k to 48k instead of graphics cards with more memory than the server park of NASA in those days... I remember thinking that the graphics where great The most impressive thing is that the trusty Spectrum only managed to pull something like 4 fps while running those simplistic graphics (if I dare call those vectors that) - and no one complained! I recently fired up my old speccy (my father found it on the attic) and booted Fighter Pilot. Had to use a cable from the sound card of my PC with a downloaded "recording" as could not find a working MC player (have the orginal tape so no accusing of pirating please!). After "flying" that game with the mushy rubber keys of the Spectrum for a few minutes you get some perspective on how good our current games really are

This guys stuff comes up on the forums every so often, and he is genius...

Here is his home page...he even has some tutorials on modeling a KI-61 in "Light Wave"

His web page has some links to more of his work if you are curious.

p.s. Oh, by the way (sorry) his name is Masaru Tochibayashi.

Hm, not related to original question, but that's Sakai in those movies, isn't he? I remember the second one from his book, not sure about first one, but the first one is too "geenral".

Very nice CGI.

Amazing! Very good made videos.

And to ansver to first question, I hope yes, one time they (sims) will look like these videos, and maybe better, just question when

[Moritz]

The Japanese video is the story of Saburo Sakai. Recognize the markings and the great rendition of his face. Love to see the whole video!

Mazex hit the nail on the head. Compared to what was available to the general public just a few years ago the products we have available to us now are amazing! And then you go to a forum and over half the posts are people %issing and moaning about how much they want this or how much they deserve that. Were I in Oleg's position I'd be tempted to say 'To hell with it' and walk away.
