As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn’t care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren’t afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

      Not always. Did you know that Final Fantasy VI had a mobile version with much higher resolution graphics? SquareEnix took it down and released the pixel remaster instead, which matches the original low-resolution graphics closely.

      That’s just one of the many examples when “better graphics” isn’t always better.
