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

      my point is not that they’re literally the same, but that the increases in photo realism are genuinely pointless. I see absolutely zero storytelling, gameplay, or even aesthetic value in them. A single real life photo provides more of what they’re trying to copy than years of hyper realistic gameplay.
