Game consoles now feel like a rat race

[deleted fren]

Graphics have basically peaked so the advancements we see now are far more minor. Dlss, Ray tracing, etc, etc...

There's not as much excitement for a new gaming generation anymore. At least not from my eyes. Video games in terms of gameplay have stagnated and become extremely repetitive as these companies are coping the same successful gameplay formulas over and over again. The only difference in games from the late PS4 era and now is that they look slightly better.

Since gameplay is no longer that exciting, people have become obsessed with the graphics of said games. As long as a game looks good it'll get good reviews. Creativity doesn't matter anymore. Your game doesn't have to have an attention to detail.

Too realistic sometimes tbh

Vidiogames are dead

Yup, they make the graphics good but the gameplay shitty or subpar. Every action game that’s not an FPS plays like the Arkham games or a Fromsoftware game.

Dlss

That's not an advancement it's massive regression. You render game at lower resolution as you use temporal AA. Even DLAA with native has artifacts and can look like ass in motion. Deferred rendering with MSAA was amazing and sharp as a knife even at 1080p, while 1080p looks like total ass full on blur and i refuse to play those games unless i can use FXAA (which will break effects anyway and make them shake)

Ray tracing

Gay and useless. They completely abandoned amazing physx that altered the gameplay and forced useless RT on us that still looks like ass and force DLSS with frame gen to be remotely playable (it's not due input lag).

PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5 and PS5 pro all feel the same. Since PS5 they haven't tried even once to utilize their hardware to run games well, optimization is dead. The better consoles get the worse games perform as devs are worthless talentless passionless hacks that should be painfully beat with a keyboard and sent back to the mcdonald's.

It's been like that since ps3. PS2 and Gamecube was the last generation where they have tried something new. Well PC, Wii and sometimes PS3/XB360 still had some unique games but there were way less of them than before. And unique doesn't mean they will be good or polished, highly praised Tokyo Jungle is a very mediocre title that is not really fun to play with very poor replayability as every animal has same sprint/jump speed and you can only get it higher through breeding or temporal stat boost.
