I hope well eventually be able to upload ourselves to games instead of using generic character models.

Apparently Rare almost did that with the original Perfect Dark. You would upload a headshot, and the game would create a 3-D digital version and put it on one of the characters. They canceled it due to fears that kids would post pictures of theirs schoolmates and practice killing them.

Would be nice, but I remember when people were predicting graphics would be that realistic by now, or even earlier. Unfortunately, Moore's Law was wrong, but people today still seem to expect exponential advances in computer power - including visual realism - that are probably never going to happen given our current knowledge.

The reason most gamers don't do this is because it would defeat the entire purpose of playing games in the first place. Most teenagers play FPS games so that they can pretend they're steroid-casualty SF soldiers or Marines, instead of skinny, zit-faced nerds who can't get dates. Compared to what they look like in real life, the "generic" character models are preferable, I should think. Why undermine the escapism value of the game by being yourself in it?
