Here's a link to something Brian showed me that literally dropped my jaw. I'm sure almost everyone will recognize the clip - it's a re-rendering of one of the opening sequences of Final Fantasy VII, done on the Playstation 3. Keep in mind that that's supposed to be representative of what in-game, real-time rendering would look like, and prepare to be stunned.
