      There really hasn’t been much progress. A lot of big games, like Elden Ring, have been cross-gen and nobody optimizes these days. The best-looking games always prioritize great art direction over just having the most polygons and cutting-edge tech.

        I figure this is why remastered games sell so well. Making the art direction of a 25 year old game look clear on modern screens is a guaranteed hit.

        Hell even if they totally redo it like in diablo 2 remastered but still keep the vibe it’s so much better than just realism
