This isn't 2003, and games from 5 years ago look about as good as games released today. Just make good games, regardless of graphical fidelity, and I will buy them.

I agree. Some of the favorite games from this year don't have good graphics at all. Vampire Survivors, for example.

Because pushing the graphics is what takes forever. We don't need graphics, we need awesome games to play.

Wind Waker from 2003 is still fun to play and has graphically-aged much better than a lot of games considered to have better graphics.

I would really enjoy more focus being put into enemy/NPC AI, and dynamic world elements; like weather systems, for example

It's a case by case basis. MKX looks pretty terrible in comparison to 11.

I think we're definitely hitting a point of massively diminishing returns with improved graphics/technology. I've been replaying the Half-Life series and the technological difference between Half-Life in 1998 and Half-Life 2 in 2004 feels massive. Compare a 2016 FPS to a 2022 FPS and the difference doesn't feel that big at all.

unfortunately, there are people who think if things arent realistic, they look old.

There are people who cant look at 2D because it is too outdated.

Of those I've played recently, they did a really good job with THPS 1+2 and Hot Wheels Unleashed. These games show excellent use of artistic direction, very vibrant.

I don't care that much about graphical horse power or fidelity but I also can't stand most indie game graphics.

There needs to be a middle ground

What why??? Graphics is one of the only things left to solve in games (along with writing and Vr stuff). What improvement can be made for gameplay outside of VR anyways? Improving graphics more important atm. Hundreds or maybe even thousands of games with good gameplay already but 0 games with graphics that look like real life

To be fair. Even certain artistic choices can get tiring to look out.

There's a trend in horror games recently to use that 80s VHS look and its gets tiring to look at quick and that kills the game for me.

I don't think there's a problem with pushing for great graphics i think the problem with gaming right now is that there's no chances for risks. Games are all too samey and that's why games like Elden Ring are refreshing. I dont think Elden Ring broke the mold or anything but it took a niche formula like the souls series and made it more appealing by making it open world. They even did some QOL updates to appeal to more casual players and not alienate their base.

The reason you hate games with good graphics is that its usually accompanied by mediocre gameplay because its nonthreatening to the average player.

People shit on Watch Dogs for the graphic downgrade but I had a ton of fun with it between story and side quests.

Graphical enhancements (realistically at least) turned me away from video games in the PS3 era. Glad I never went back.

Ehh we still need them for 4k high frame rate and 8k 60 fps (and higher once 60 fps is achievable for everything) even if graphics stopped improving starting this year.

Is it time, or rather money? Anyways a good artstyle is all I care about. Super realistic graphics can go die for all I care.

The goal of graphics are to expand on different art styles and eventually lead to realistic VR.

Without the push for more graphics then it would crash the GPU market, hold back PCs, and stop consoles from evolving.

The only thing I would say needs to change is the 8 year life cycles. They should be a bit longer since game development is longer.

Amen.

Photo realism is technically impressive but from an artistic standpoint looks like ass.

Pretty sure it's the publishers who decided that, not the devs.
