There is nothing wrong with game looking like real life...when paired with great stories and fun game play...and diverse worlds...it actually add to the immersion.

Well, that presentation is good news for you then. Since most of the stuff devs took years to make are now automated by the UE5.4 engine. Unfortunately we all know how this ends up. Instead of using the time saved to actually work on gameplay, they'll simply release their games early

There's a place for those visually simple games that don't take multiple years to develop, but I've been waiting more than 20 years for photorealistic graphics in games and there's no way I want to see the progress stop now that we're so close. Indie games can be less realistic, but AAA games should definitely aim for photorealism.

[@French-Star]

@@selohcin Tbf once Unrecord is released, the whole landscape is probably going to change. AAA games won't have their title stand for as long as they did a decade ago and these game companies will definitely have to take their games more seriously. Consumers are the reason why these companies are still standing, which is a shame because passion says otherwise, Unrecord and many other indie studios being the case. Let's hope Unrecord fulfils these expectations.

I work in IT as an architect within infrastructure and system design, but a completely different industry. And I always get amazed what the guys in gaming can do. This is some complex stuff, not just the tech which is amazing, but to be able from a process and project lead/tech lead view to be able to make this. Let me tell you, it's not weird it takes many years to create these but in a few years it will take less since the git of all that code can be reused, tanked into ML to learn and then just "upload" this into the next project.

Esporo que quando for lançado o jogo seja entregue com esses gráficos e não como o Chrono Odyssey, que embora também esteja lindo, ainda não está fotorealista.
