I'm particularly very satisfied. It's really nice to have high-fidelity graphic games, but I'm also very into more cartoonish/animated looked games, it's so refreshing to see something more aesthetically artistic and unconventional looking. Games, like animation, can break budget barriers and constraints that live action movies suffer when creating fantastic sets and characters so I'm really here to support fantasy over high-fidelity

Of course, fantasy and dream-like games can be better designed with a more powerful machine, but when I look gorgeous games like the The Last of Us, Final Fantasy VII RE and Ghost of Tsushima I can say that I wouldn't mind if graphic evolution become secondary to priorize things like:

- Bigger and more interactive maps

- More detailed, landscaped and designed open-world adventures

- Higher and more stable frame-rate

- More In-Engine cutscenes

- Less linearity, let the player input give a greater impact in the story progression

Pretty impressive overall.

I'm well happy. Almost exactly 3 years ago, I went back and played Dishonoured on the PS3 and not only did I love the game, but thought it looked really nice too. Not that I don't notice and appreciate the difference between a late gen third party PS3 game like Dishonoured, and an early gen third party PS4 game like, say, Wolfenstein.

I’m very impressed with games i’ve played during the last 12 months on my PS4 Pro like Days Gone, God of War, Marvel’s Spiderman, Uncharted Collection, The Last of Us Remastered, Ratchet & Clank, Horizon Zero Dawn, Rise of The Tomb Raider and Detroit Become Human.

Can’t wait to play The Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima very soon and see the evolution in those.



Graphics are great, I just wish framerates were a bit higher.

Yeah, I really don't care about anything beyond PS4 graphically, it's just a bonus at this point. But I do hope 30fps games become a thing of the past eventually.

I don't have anything against games that run at 30FPS, just don't let them drop below that, which is actually the real problem, games that have irregular frame rates. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

I think it's depends on the game. Many games works really fine at 30 FPS, but racing games, for example, are noticeably better at 60 FPS

And some games are just better at delivering an experience at 30fps, I don't know whether it's to do with the correct use of blur on camera movement but even among games that are all a consistent 30fps in the same genre some feel smoother than others.

CTR Nitro Fueled is a pretty good example of a game that's 30fps but still feels smooth.



Halo infinite looks great .

OT: I play mainly Switch adn still feel satisfied with it. I think most players are.

That's what has frustrated me most out of PS4 graphics, and the far weaker Switch. So many games have really good or amazing graphics, but they're locked at 30 FPS. 

I didn't need Super Mario Odyssey at 60 FPS, but I'm glad we got it. I really wish Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Marvel's Spider-Man were 60 FPS. 

You could make graphics only slightly better on PS5 and Xbox Series X, but if most games ran 2160p/60fps I would have few complaints.
