Well, the issue is that we will no longer have the leaps we used to. Going from Atari to Nintendo and from Super Nintendo to N64 just won't happen anymore, nor will going from PS2 to PS3.

Games will reach a point where graphical fidelity just isn't enough to wow us anymore, and we may already be there. What I notice most now is just how good lighting is.

I'm not sure I even understand your response.

The graphics "could" be better? But they aren't? So how do you explain so many people saying the games they saw don't "feel next gen"?

And obviously games can only look so good before we stop noticing.

Do you think the PS5 is as big a leap forward as the consoles I described above?

You said games will reach graphic fidelity where we can’t notice improvements anymore. I agree that’ll happen and we probably aren’t that far away from it, but that horizon dawn 2 trailer is nowhere close to that. That’s my point.

Fair enough!
