More brainstorming, ideas and wishful hoping about the next gen urban simulator :)

Next Gen Urban Simulation and Visualization
I've written about next gen urban simulation in the past before but I stumbled across a video today which made me think more about the direction of 3d visualization and how it applies to urban simulation games.
The video creators shows the game engine of CryTek 2 combined with renderings from Enodo
Here's some renderings from Enodo projects which hint at what a next gen simulator might look like.

Bryant Park rendering, NYC: Example of daytime lighting, fauna, shadows, sims and graphics
NYC Public Library: mid to high poly models
Bellagio, Las Vegas: example of textures and realism
La Defense, Paris: example of night lighting and traffic UI
If a urban simulation game were to be created similar to this players would need to a powerful graphics card to run it and a very good computer. But with computers getting more and more advanced and can handle more graphic intensive gaming. We'll wait and see or build our own ;)
More next time
