The more I see of the new games the more I'm convinced that lighting and shadows are the key. Look at TV. Standard resolution stinks but it looks real because the lighting and shadows are exactly correct. Physics are very important too. I hope we see parts still attached and flapping in the wind in the damage model of SoW. Oh, and realistic reflections too. Look at car wind shields when driving down the road on a sunny day. The very bright reflections from very small areas. If I get all my wants and wishes, I'll need a Cray to run it!
