| Chrkeller said(2014) Cross gen comparisons is probably not a great example, given old hardware is holding back games. A better comparisons is Rachet remake vs Rift. There is a very significant difference. The difference is there, but just is expensive. Alan Wake and Cyberpunk are additional good examples. This gen was held back with cross gen ports which is giving (imho) a false view of diminishing returns. If people care is an entirely different discussion. I would guess most don't because ps4 games still look great, unlike ps1 games. And performance isn't cheap. |
Horizon Forbidden West is one of the best looking PS5 games still to this date though and Ratchet (2016) looks great but lots of PS4 titles look much better. The point is that this conversation wouldn't of been possible to have in prior gens, 3+ years into a new generation comparing it to a game from the last. That is diminishing returns in effect, gaps are getting smaller and less significant from an average user perspective.
