Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech it created a whole blushing system, implemented nose shadows, and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti to get the translucency right... (www.pcgamer.com)

Fear not, technology can "peak" multiple times. The same was said about Star Wars - it just takes someone with a vision, determination, and the budget to make it happen.

[Edit] didn't realize I'd have to clarify: THE ORIGINAL Star Wars.

… terrible example as a lot of fans would claim the originals were the best ones and it’s been all downhill from there, especially since the prequels are now seen in a positive light cause how bad the sequels have been.

Come on, I am obviously referring to the original trilogy which was famously innovative. No one is fawning over the CGI in the prequels (especially in retrospect), why would you think I meant them??

I'm not a fan of the series but I still geek out about the production of A New Hope. It was groundbreaking work by some serious visionaries, look at any film before it and it's obvious what a huge jump they made.

Now I feel the need to clarify further that I mean THE ORIGINAL special effects. NOT any of the rereleases with "updated" CGI.

You did say that something can peak multiple times, so your original comment sounded like you were implying that Star Wars peaked multiple times, hence the response.

I suppose so but I did specifically say technology can peak multiple times, not a franchise
