Rocking in the corner trying to tell myself the RTX 4090 is a parody and not an twisted expression of the "Must constantly grow" mentality despite the fact that, in truth, game development stalled at targeting the 1000 series and there is absolutely no need for this nor will there ever be.
@trysdyn My opinion is that there is no need for anything better than PS3 graphics but that might be too extreme
@socks I don't think you're wrong honestly. We hit a point where we stopped growing closer to photorealism and devs starting picking which flavor of "Close but not quite" (or even "Not close at all") they wanted. I'm not entirely sure when that point was but Ryse is the game I pick as the watershed moment where I first went "This has gotten silly"
On a factual level though, the crypto crash ensured no wise dev studio moved their system requirements past the 1000 series because it'd mean a ton of people just couldn't play because... whoof.
