What did you think of that video? Just a boring walk down a hallway, right? But what if I told you this is actually a graphics engine test? Like, video game graphics. By Square Enix.
Square Enix just demonstrated this new graphics engine they're working on called "Luminous". Not only does it look impressively realistic, but Square Enix believes it will actually lower development costs significantly. Is this the future of game graphics?
Here are some side by side comparison shots of real life locations and the engine footage.

Wow that is extremely awesome. Now what I want is for Nintendo to make a Mario game with that.
I'm not the type of guy that thinks graphics are everything. In fact, if you're like that I literally hate you. But that is very impressive.

Some things were never meant to be realistic looking...
Like the hair of any Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts character ever.

I actually think some games are already this powerful lol.
The video looked more real because of the quality.
