It's not just about resolution. AI, physics, etc. There are so many areas games can improve in. I look forward to the day where I feel a lot more immersion due to my interaction and experiences with the terrain around me, rather than it all feeling like just a bunch of pretty geometrical shapes.

I agree on AI and Physics

But one of the main areas they need to tackle is character writing and player agency. The end-cycle of this genre the companies are finally competing on these things instead of who has bigger explosions and better shadows and water effects.

Stories and whatnot in video games are completely laughable compared to other entertainment mediums, I'm totally with you on that. I was just speaking from a technological advancement perspective.
