i was watching a review for the casting of frank stone recently and was thinking the same thing. games now dont even look better, they just have fancier tech that has a higher barrier of entry for new players. but while you get these insanely detailed shadows and reflections, all the animations look canned and janky as hell. the characters dont feel connected to the world at all. you literally end up with an expensive polished turd.
meanwhile you can look at games like battlefield 1, arkham knight, mankind divided, uncharted 3, all games from nearly 10 years ago and not only do they look phenomenal still they run amazingly and play really well
my feeling is that in 10 more years games like arkham knight will still look and play nice where as if you try and play casting of frank stone in 10 years it’s going to be called “a product of the times” and i guess you can already see this taking place with all the rereleases of that other similar game which was originally a ps3 game i believe
