There is also just tiny graphic improvements now, so for most people, 5 years old games look similar to what we have now

You can sort of tell by the whole 4k (or even 8k), 144Hz stuff that opportunities for real improvements have been running out for a while.

High refresh rates solve a real problem for competitive players.

Which is why they were ignored for a decade or two despite game engines easily achieving those FPS numbers and were pulled out exactly when the hardware vendors ran out of any other arguments to convince people to replace their existing screens and GPUs?

And that the requirements for those minimal improvements are vast. If you need to pull down 200GB for a minor graphical upgrade, that’s just not really worth it compared to an older game that is a bit graphically worse, but is both smaller, and runs better on newer hardware.

I would even go lower than that. If you showed me Prey 2017 or even Alien Isolation 2014, and told me they came out today. I would probably believe you.

I was playing the original not too long ago, and they freaking “updated” it with ai upscaling. It looks like absolute trash. I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of it.
Why would you do that and also remaster it?
