Because since RDR2 and last of us part 2 I only see that they’re going backwards or just stagnant.
The only exception is RE4 2023, that game looked really good. I don’t count Hellblade due how limited the gameplay is, it sacrificed most of its gameplay for the graphics. Is basically a movie with walking sections.
Edit: I guess guardians of the galaxy looked also really good when was released.
Creating high-quality graphics requires not only robust hardware capabilities but also a blend of artistic talent and technical expertise. This translates to increased costs for developers, and ultimately, it’s the consumers who bear the burden.
