Comment on Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good: The gaming industry spent billions pursuing the idea that customers wanted realistic graphics. Did executives misread the market?

It feels like very few progress was made graphically in the last eight years. We’ve reached a plateau. I mean, STAR WARS: Battlefront (2015) to me is as good as it gets and that was almost ten years ago. We used to have massive leaps in graphics all the time, but that’s no longer the case.

The big difference is that, that game ran at 60 fps on the Xbox One and the PS4. Games barely look better or as good as this, but are strictly harder to run. That’s the big difference. The death of optimization and the “just throw more hardware at it” era.
