Control and Resident Evil 2 Remake still look incredible and run well on fairly inexpensive hardware today. We don’t need globally illuminated Unreal Engine 5 games with individually modeled nostril hairs on each character that require graphics cards with prices in the three digit range
Graphics should just be kept at late PS4 level for the foreseeable future to keep games as accessible as possible
I was thinking about photorealism, especially realistic human characters when making this post and we just weren’t there 15 years ago
I was bored with attempts at photorealism 15 years ago, and before that as well.
I’m old enough to have been bored with the FMV fad of the 90s.
