who cares, whats more important is the game content (not sure if they can deliver or not) if they can hit 60fps with this graphic, considered okay already. every big studio out there want to join the open-world bandwagon and they need to start at something. they need to do so because if the game is not open-world in the future, people will not favor it.
Wait for them to announce the sales declining haha. No games announced but got big ball to release new Dual Sense controller for Rm999.
maybe thats the reason why some big studio like SE have studios focusing on AA budget game (e.g bravely default, live is strange, octopath series). it is not feasible to make >100 million usd cost game all the time as the development time needed is insane.
personally i dont mind indie game, but i want something on the middle ground, indie game are usually way too short, tak puas main. graphic doesnt matter all i want a good story driven game.
more like game engine limitation. they cant do culling as good as decima or rage engine, so it will render tons of polygons that is not visible to our view.
