Have you noticed that modern games barely look better than the ones from ten years ago? Batman: Arkham Knight still looks incredible, better than most "next-gen" games released in 2022. Yet somehow, despite paying more for powerful GPUs, faster SSDs, and "next-gen consoles" like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, the graphics barely changed. Don't you think that progress has not only slowed down... but completely stopped? In this video, we’ll break down why game graphics stopped evolving, how AI upscaling, frame generation, and DLSS replaced true innovation, and why developers and publishers no longer invest in real graphical progress. We’ll talk about NVIDIA, Unreal Engine 5, RTX, ray tracing, 4K gaming, and why all of this doesn’t make games look better, just more expensive.
