I’m a big proponent of going with a distinct art style over “realism”, because the latter tends to kind of fall apart over time as technology improves. The former, will always look good though.
Even if you do go with realism, we’ve hit a point of diminishing returns. Most PS5 games just look like the best looking PS4 games, but in 4K. I’d rather developers start using the system resources for things that actually matter instead of realistically simulating every follicle of a characters ass hair. Like, give me better NPC AI, give me more interactive environments, give me denser crowds, more interconnected systems. Just something.
I like it the way it is: There’s both and gamers decide what to buy. In the end, we are talking about a MASSIVE economy so of course there are also a lot of people who WANT you to upgrade your PC / console every 2 years or so.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
