Former Thief designer Randy Smith Evergreen has commented on the graphics "arms race", joking that photorealism could have topped out with 2010's Alan Wake.
We need more graphics so we can them make them blurry again through FSR and DLSS to get good framerates on lower specs.
For real though, I do think diminishing returns is a real thing. Graphics don’t have explosive improvements anymore, and since 2013 or so. Sure new technologies can improve visual fidelity, but it’s not as meaningful or earth-shattering as it used to be.
