But it's roughly the same amount of years (1991-2006) vs (2006-2020). It's crazy how much graphics or even game design has plateaued.

I would certainly say a jump in an ENTIRE DIMENSION is probably bigger, tbh

Well, we had three generations between Snes and PS3, while we had one generation and one lets just make the old games run better console between PS3 and PS5...

I think you have that backwards.

The graphical leap from PS3 to PS5 is not as big as PS2 to PS3

SNES to N64 is a bigger jump than PS2 to PS5.

It's kind of the biggest jump possible.

Either you're wording this completely wrong or you're trolling. The PS5 is impressive, but literally nobody could look at the graphical differences and genuinely think this.

That's nonsense. Most ps3 games don't look that different from modern games once you scale the resolution and textures. Like, look at FFXIII for instance. The character models have a fraction of the polygons of modern games and they still look great.

I feel like were at a point where the improvements from generation to generation isn't going to be how much better the games are graphically, it'll be how much faster and smoother they run.

Like, I look at a game like Spiderman 2 or Alan Wake 2, and can't imagine a game getting graphically better than that.

I dunno, if games start looking like the opening cutscene for Helldivers 2 where you almost think that the guy is an actual person then I think that would be a pretty big jump. There's been a lot of photorealism tech showcases in the last few years for NPCs and environments but they haven't made their way into games yet

Given the text of the first post, I'd be pretty confident in saying he just mixed up the wording.

I'm just going to assume you've botched the ordering here, to express that I've always felt that the OG Xbox was mostly the pinnacle of what you really needed graphics to ever be, & that anything else would mostly be a line of diminishing returns that should be reserved for flagships (Mario, Final Fantasy, GTA, etc.) & ambitious passion projects (Elden Ring & Cyberpunk 2077). The notion that every game needs to essentially be a 4K, 120 FPS open world, is one of the major sources for exacerbation of "crunch" related practices & over inflated budgets that supposedly can't make profit, even with massive sales..

The human eye can't see above 16 bit so you're right. Chrono Trigger sprites and the character models from FFXIII look exactly the same to me.

We're simply getting to a point where graphics can only look so good, so advancements will seem more incremental than the leaps we've seen in the past.
Moving forward, the focus needs to be more about innovation and optimization, not whether a game can just be a little bit prettier than the next.
