The point he was making is not to give anyone a pass.

My opinion, Nintendo shouldn't be held on a pedestal and we shouldn't have to account for the Nintendo score bump on aggregate sites when shopping or considering their games. 

Probably not gonna happen you're gonna have to get used to $700+ consoles and $80 games eventually, sky high costs for GPUs.

I think the graphics pipeline will change though. If you look at most 3D games, the "background" is largely non interactive and any given time.

What I think will happen is those background elements will be offloaded to AI image generation, and because it's image generation (just photogrammy basically) the background can then even be photorealistic without incurring a performance cost.

Then the main game engine I think will just be responsible for only rendering the on-screen hero + the nearest 2-5 enemies on screen that the player can immediately "fight" with lets say. But given that, you'll be able to use really high poly/detail models as you're not rendering anything else traditionally.

But this will allow even phones to have games that appear almost photorealistic. You may have to "load" in almost like a shader cache (basically the AI cores get loaded in what the environment looks like photographically from multiple angles/distances and then understands how to display the background from any angle) for a few years but eventually that will go away too. 

PS4 graphics are fine but 60 fps is the bare minimum and that's basically what we getting with the PS5. Most of the PS5 games in performance mode look just slightly better than the best looking PS4 games

Why?  120 hz panels aren't uncommon.  Pretty common on a new TV these days.  

That's kind of true, yeah.

PS5 graphics don't seem like a generational leap over PS4 in fidelity, but the SSD and a significant majority of 60 FPS support are obvious upgrades. PS4 software (even on PS5) doesn't support 120 FPS at all, so that's another option on PS5 for a small amount of games. 

I dont think graphics should be pushed as much - performance is key.

I'm fine with improved CPUs and two model approaches. Mobile model with downgraded graphics and home console with better ones but no hybrid/mobile thing

Pretty common for a very short time. 

No, things should move forward and not backward. I would settle for PS5 graphics for now, if it meant significant performance upgrades.

I made a thread about this but whatever sharpening look is on some of these new games or whatever is causing that over detailed loom, it's ugly as fuck! 

And at the cost of everything, these games are supposed to feel tanky and kinda maddening in their own way to play but this adds an extra layer of sluggishness on top, looks fine and smooth in the above video and the camera is snappy but if you look below they slowly pan the camera and then barely move it when fighting, why? Cause they've added an extra layer off sluggishness on top of everything for an action game chasing grqphics and not able to get a smooth 30 fps. It looks like this game can't handle what is happening on screen in even with smaller bosses so I hold no hope for monster fueds or smaller monsters tackling bigger monsters. God I love these games but sub 30fps is not okay for graphics that look worse because they tried to add so much detail. This is what I mean, I'm hoping for a downgraded version of this game that'll run more smoothly even if it looks more basic, it'll probably look better without that sharpened overly detailed, sickening look to it at any rate.
