>>47789 That's because it actually does look better than most games today. The craziest part is that it runs much better too. Most games that look the same as it or a little worse need like a 5090 to run at the same visual fidelity and framerate. Nvidia and Epic (UE5) have ruined everything by design because they do not want us buying GPUs, they want big companies to buy 2.8 million GPUs for $75k each, and then we stream games under subscription services for $89.99 + tip + server electricity fees + some nonsense political tax every month, forever. It's not an accident and it's not pure incompetence. You will own nothing.

It's borderline slave labor and the product suffers, but as long as you make a cool trailer and spam ads for 4-6 months before release, you can turn a 45 million dollar project into 80 million dollars because redditoids and 4chan subhumans will buy it (but drop it after the first few hours) so they don't feel left out of the painfully artificial hype.

>>47829 All of the big companies are in on bad the optimization. Nvidia works with Epic for a reason. Epic makes all the default settings and training courses bad for optimization for a reason. Game developers want bad optimization so gaming switches to streaming which will give them a tighter grip on pricing and eliminate piracy. When they want to remaster a game in 10 years, they can just shut down the old version and you will have to wait 6 or more months to play the remastered version unless you pay up for the super premium streaming service. Nvidia gets to exorbitantly price pro GPUs that will be sold by the millions every year. Epic gets special Nvidia support to make game development easier with upscaling trash that just makes the image blurry, and games running well isn't a factor in this whole scenario.
None of this is an accident and it's one of the few places where government intervention is desperately needed so we can have the graphics card and PC market reset to 2012 price levels permanently because that's what is actually sustainable for the average person.
P.S. Musk is a faggot for not doing anything about this while pretending to be a tech lord for the people.

>>47837 We're at a point where games are actually getting uglier because of the blurry upscaling and frame generation, and lower framerates than 5 years ago which also makes fast movement blurry. 4redditors are praising 720p YouTube video quality in games these days. Even as stupid as those websites are, they have to be mostly shills and bots. Real people cannot actually believe that's an improvment.

>>47829 truth is that "optimization" isn't some magic button that makes it so game runs on everything. New engines like UE5 have all these fancy bells and whistles that developers do wanna incorporate, and it becomes difficult to account for lower-end systems
also, it's disingenuous to say that the "average" PC in 2007 had 1GB VRAM (this was only on the "best of the best" GPUS), meanwhile 12GB VRAM today is midrange, even then Crysis was notorious for how shit the optimization was. Yeah it looked great, but iirc much of the performance was from CPU, not GPU, restrictions due to how it was optimized with single-core performance in mind, when the industry went multicore instead.

At least these are the reasons I mostly keep replaying older games that I like instead of playing new games. 10-15 years ago, 4/v/ made a meme image that makes fun of stupid video game features, but it's almost never posted anymore because those people mostly left and that place actually hates video games and uses the board as a politics and porn SJW grandstanding platform.

>>48194 7 years is a bit of an exaggeration, considering the PS5 is about as capable as a 2070. Xbox Series X is about a 2070 Super. You would need at least a 3060 and you'd have to lower a lot of settings, after counting the optimizations consoles get. I can't remember what the PS5 Pro is roughly equivalent to because it's more or less irrelevant because pretty much everyone that wants a PS5 has one and won't bother upgrading until the the PS6 is out.

>>48191 I agree with this, especially about the visual clutter and simplified gameplay. In some ways I believe the more simple the game is the easier it is to make complex, such is the case in F.E.A.R. After playing the game I was shocked how much different a room looked before and after a fight compared to modern games, and the only modern game I think that holds up to it is Control.
>>48198 I agree with this. I remember Bioshock Infinite, as awful as one thinks it's story may be, had some of the most impressive (atmospheric) visuals of a game ever and after 12 years I have yet to see anything surpass what they did there.
