At what point will video games give players post-traumatic stress?

[dwyanewadeog]

I just thought about this for a bit.
The main reason that games like Gears of War or God of War can get away with the level of violence they include in their gameplay is because graphics, even for modern consoles and computers, are not very realistic.

I think everyone has noticed the phenomenon where each year we think the graphics are "life like" but by the time the next-console comes out the graphics we once admired now look archaic and childish.

Do you think there will be a point when the experience provided by video consoles, whether by visual/auditory stimulation or direct neural implant, will create post-traumatic stress?

I don't think so...I mean you're going into it knowing you're playing a game.
The progression of gaming technology will condition us for each next generation of games.

^but some people immerse themselves so entirely in a game that I think a truly realistic game could create PTSD.

The graphics of Battlefield 3 are awesome but I guarantee when the next system of consoles rolls around you'll look back on it and laugh that you thought it was so realistic.
