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.
Two games I wouldn’t use as barometers since those studios are known to be the ones pushing graphics forward with a budget most other studios don’t have. I think Alan Wake 2 looked great as for something newer.
What about A plague tale then? Looked really good, I forgot to mention it and is what… 7 years old now? And on a small budget
