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 would argue that there isn’t really an important technological development for consumers in about or over 10 years.
The rise of portables that can play all games, that’s about it. VR depending on how much of a success you want to call it. Good gyro controls.
I’d argue DLSS (and whatever equivalent AMD has) is pretty big, it made nice looking graphics way more accessible.
Gameplay wise you’re 100% correct, I’d love to see actually novel gameplay loops.
Proton has been a game changer
