[Engine related] Glass and transparency

Yes lets blame PS3, because no game has glass on the PS3!

I'd like to see a game on the ps3 that has large environments, render distance, glass and a high LOD. I doubt such a thing exists.

Crysis for 1, XD (which btw is capable of MMO, eg ArchAge)

Large Environments and Render distance means nothing, if you're rendering far distance and everything at once, you're doing it wrong, plus engines just dont work like that, they render what is visible, they dont render stuff you cant see. You can easily reduce the visibility and render amount through glass.

If you had a window into a shop the only thing being rendered is the interior of the shop, not the whole giant world shoved into that 1 shop and loaded at once.

Not to mention, looking outside the shop you might argue "omfg look at all the rendering it has to do for outside the shop" um what is the difference between that, or opening the shop door? ...
