Game characters are edging ever closer to Poser's level of detail. It'll be a few more years before the polycounts match Posette and the P4 Male, but I've been watching footage of the upcoming Half-Life 2, and what Valve is doing with eyes, lipsync, and facial expressions for the main characters is nothing short of amazing, especially when you remember it's all generated in realtime.

Link to movies (check out videos 3dn and 4dn, particularly)

Doom 3 doesn't look shabby, either.
