I don't think its so much the graphics itself, I feel like the future of the look in games is going to be all about the motion.

Lots of other stuff is in development - physics, OLED's, 120 Hz displays, etc., but in the immediate future - the REAL next step - is Retina.

More resolution is probably the last thing needed to gain realism. Any picture on my TV looks realistic, and that's (roughly) 640x480; most game-generated images on my 2560x1440 PC are obviously computer generated.
What's needs is not 3D or higher res, it's stuff like realistic textures, lighting and animation. That will still take more CPU and GPU grunt than we have now.

Says it all really, no game looks at that at 1024,1280,1920,2560 or even 5000xwhatever the 3 screen things are.
We're seriously lacking pixel quality and resolution isn't going to solve our issues (for gaming at least, definitely for text reading though)
