The Future of Gaming Tech Looks Brighter Than Ever

The moment Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313 entered our field of view at E3, we were teased with a glimpse into the future of gaming tech with demos exhibiting real-time elements that we usually see in pre-rendered cutscenes and film. It was clear that the fidelity on screen was a step above what we're used to. LucasArts has already said that Star Wars 1313 is intended for the next generation of hardware and that much is obvious once the game is seen in action. Watch Dogs was confirmed for release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but those versions will not reflect the same tech exhibited on stage, likely sacrificing lighting, texture resolution, and particle effects, in the transition.
Both of these titles ran on high-end PCs at E3, with Star Wars 1313 (and Watch Dogs, presumably) utilizing NVIDIA's latest GPU (the Kepler based GTX 680), a card that's opening doors for major advances in graphics and computation.
