Can graphics keep evolving? How? For how long?

First I played was space invaders, black and white, I think on an early Atari system.

Anyway that current year showcase shows there's still a lot of room for improvement. It will be great when game developers stop trying to emulate realism with (bad) lens effects. Ditch that crutch to hide the 'flaws'. PS3/360 everything had to be brown and monochrome for realism, now it's like looking through dirty cheap lenses. Hence stylistic games still win over 'realism'.

Graphics can keep evolving for many decades to come. Holographic displays will come at some point then holographic projectors :)

Many  people still think  say rdr 2 is the best looking game ever then last of us 2, and cyber punk so please stop trying to push this narrative that stylistic game wins for better graphics. Resident evil 5, Uncharted 3,  and gears 3 still look really nice today with 4k.

Yet the perception moves along. I would call RE5, Uncharted 3 and Gears 3 stylistic nowadays. Not realistic. It's mostly the characters that are stylistic, goes for RDR2 and The last of US 2 as well. RDR2 does have some very picturesque real looking views. So did Horizon Zero Dawn. It's mostly distant views though, up lose realism falls apart.

And Cyberpunk is not realistic at all ;)

They all look great, still do. (Apart from RE5, don't like the art style) But they are far from the end of the road for improving graphics.


Also movement still needs a lot of improvement. They still can't make it convincing in CGI in movies.
