Graphics get better, I enjoy games just the same. Just an excuse to sell new consoles.
I know this is anime style specifically but I just beat Persona 3 Reload, does it look better than P5? Yes, but not by much and honestly, I'm ok with all anime games looking like this, I'll take improvements in NPC models and more portraits and extra content over better graphics
i was watching a review for the casting of frank stone recently and was thinking the same thing. games now dont even look better, they just have fancier tech that has a higher barrier of entry for new players. but while you get these insanely detailed shadows and reflections, all the animations look canned and janky as hell. the characters dont feel connected to the world at all. you literally end up with an expensive polished turd.
meanwhile you can look at games like battlefield 1, arkham knight, mankind divided, uncharted 3, all games from nearly 10 years ago and not only do they look phenomenal still they run amazingly and play really well
my feeling is that in 10 more years games like arkham knight will still look and play nice where as if you try and play casting of frank stone in 10 years it’s going to be called “a product of the times” and i guess you can already see this taking place with all the rereleases of that other similar game which was originally a ps3 game i believe
I think it’s like the arms race. If everyone agreed and started making PS4 graphic level games, and then one developer made a new age graphics game, the others will think damn we need to make our games look better or people won’t buy our games, and so on. As consumers, if someone marketed a GTA6 game as having vice city graphics, and there was another similar game but with new age graphics, many would choose the new one. So from both sides, it’s a vicious circle.
Most of the games I play aren't designed to be photo realistic, so I wouldn't even consider them ps4 level graphics
