Speaking theoretically, as a thought experiment, if it meant games cost less and took less time to make, would you be willing to accept last gen levels of graphical fidelity, yes or no?

I mostly play games like that already.

I don't care for, or need super realistic graphics or 4k resolution textures ect.
Look at something like "Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake", that is perfectly fine imo.
You can't tell me that's not PS4 levels :p

(even if its not on ps4? I think..... steam is where you get it then (or ps5), isn't really a demanding game.)

edit:  Octopath traveler I+II, Triangle Strategy, Live A Live, Unicorn Overlord... ect ect.

Tons of games that arn't very demanding and look beautifull with HD-2D/2D.
Even if you wanted realistic graphics, there are alot of good looking PS4 games too in that sense as well imo.

PS6 is gonna be a tough sell.... even more so for a new Xbox with a rumored 1,500$ price tag.
Why? Just make games in the "ps5" range and chill.

Hell most of us are fine with PS4 levels.  There are other things more important to a video game than just graphics.
look at Hellblade 1&2, both are gorgeous.... would I buy or play them? No, they look boring as f***, from the videos I've seen of it.
