    Let’s compare two completely separate games to a game and a remaster.

    Generational leaps then:

    Good lord.

    EDIT: That isn’t even the Zero Dawn remaster. That is literally two still-image screenshots of Forbidden West on both platforms.

    Good. Lord.

      Yeah no. You went from console to portable.

      We’ve had absolutely huge leaps in graphical ability. Denying that we’re getting diminishing returns now is just ridiculous.

      The fact that the Game Boy Advance looks that much better than the Super Nintendo despite being a handheld, battery powered device is insane

          There’s noticably more detail, especially along the coastline. Also, the more saturated colors improve contrast

      It is baffling to me that people hate cross gen games so much. Like, how awful for PS4 owners that don’t have to buy a new console to enjoy the game, and how awful for PS5 owners that the game runs at the same fidelity at over 60FPS, or significantly higher fidelity at the same frame rate.

      They should have made the PS4 version the only one. Better yet, we should never make consoles again because they can’t make you comprehend four dimensions to be new enough.

        The point isn’t about cross generation games. It’s about graphics not actually getting better anymore unless you turn your computer into a space heater rated for Antarctica.
