Feeling more open to this than I was formerly. My reaction when we were like, two years in, and heard about this was:
Sometimes leaks really can be harmful. It takes a long time to make stuff, and it’s not necessarily something the customer should be aware of until it’s ready. Four years later, the appropriate time, things look a lot different.
Games last year looked great, as the next gen finally arrives in force, but I expect that to come with a price, be it 60 FPS, or more likely at this point, reduced resolution with some kind of reconstruction to keep it looking good.
In my limited experience last year, I definitely recall feeling like some games weren’t quite as sharp as things were during the cross-gen period. Then there’s stuff like Alan Wake 2, and Avatar that I haven’t played, where the console version looks great, but there’s even more potential to do stuff with more horsepower.
That kind of thing is making me more and more see the case for this, for high end AV heads that want everything looking its best, but maybe don’t want a PC price tag. These games will likely keep looking great on all platforms, but if you’re that gamer that wants it all… GTA 6 to absolutely sparkle, for example.
