Absolutely. You had stuff like the Witcher 3, which was big, but the world was largely empty/static outside the major cities. The actually interesting parts of Witcher 3 (dungeons, cities, etc) were very claustrophobic. RDR2 was the same, claustrophobic feeling points of interest dotted in a big empty world. I don't want big empty worlds, I want big living worlds.
This thread is about the CPU, and advances in that field will touch much more than mere resolution.

Move from 2012 low power netbook CPU to one of the best modern high-performance desktop CPUs will enable devs to create bigger and better simulated worlds. More AIs, better animations, more interactive objects, larger draw distances, etc.
Simply put, in God Of War 2018, Kratos could fight against at most around dozen of enemies, inside environments devoid of life.
Big increase of CPU power could enable handling of lets say 20+ better animated enemies, inside a village with lots of NPCs, during a storm, while a dragon is wrecking shit all around.
World's are gonna get a big bump in simulation, size, variety, streaming speed, it's gonna be nice.
That's like saying the Witcher 2 or GTA V on ultra is the best the PS4 is capable of. And then came red dead, and horizon and God of war and Spiderman and gears 5 and the last of us 2.

Console generations have never and will never be just current gen on ultra. It is always a seismic shift. Anything now on ultra will pale compared to the games we will have in 2 years.
Here is something that should be easy with next gen CPU, GPU RAM and SSD upgrades:
Yup.Console generations have never and will never be just current gen on ultra. It is always a seismic shift. Anything now on ultra will pale compared to the games we will have in 2 years.
No I'm saying last of us can't compete with current gen games, even early ones visually.Yeah I can't even imagine their PS5 game. Probably something like Love, Death and Robots.
People need to realize how big the jump in CPU power is. Much better simulations are possible and some of the simulation that we moved to the gpu of this gen (because of the weak CPUs) can move back there and clear up move graphics power of the GPU. Add the insane SSD and we have a pretty huge jump.
And that's a tech demo, an actual game with that fidelity ain't running at 4K on a 1080ti
I means the last of us 2, sorry.No I'm saying last of us can't compete with current gen games, even early ones visually.
Also no, the pre rendered cgi Netflix show? It's pre rendered for a reason, those kinds of visuals, be it image quality or lighting will be near impossible to do when it comes to real time 3d gaming
Honestly, I wasn't paying much attention to anything other than the character models and face animations, haha.There are....A LOT of things in that cinematic that currently aren't possible in real time.

I don't know. I recently replayed Crysis 3 and in my opiniont it doesn't look out of place between the average current gen AAA multiplat title.

Oh yeah you're right. But the PC version was always demoed using basically current gen hardware was it not? Basically a current gen game.Just like how Crysis 3 on Ultra pales in comparison to various games in this gen.
No, not anything, because games like Metro Exodus, RDR2, Control on PC in 2019 won't pale compared to Late 2020 and 2021 games.

It won't be Zen+ (Gen 2). AMD has confirmed several times that both Sony and MS have opted for 7nm Zen 2 CPU (Gen 3) with RDNA Navi GPU for their next-gen consoles. It'll be a semi-custom SoC.Ryzen 3 will be released next year, but it's way too late into be integrated to the consoles. The best scenario is that the consoles will feature a Ryzen 2 APU (Gen3), the most probable scenario is that they'll feature a custom Ryzen+ APU (Gen2).
No, they'll look better than today's PC Ultra settings. Do current-gen console games like The Order 1886, RDR2, TLOU pt. 2, UC4, Detroit look anything like last gen's PC game with Ultra settings?It'll look kinda like AAA games do on PC now, with Ultra settings. Much better draw-distances and far less pop-in, higher quality shadows, better reflections, more accurate ambient occlusion, and hopefully 16x anisotropic filtering as standard (current gen have been typically 4x).
Expect really short load-times and less obvious rooms and animations hiding the transition to new areas.
Just like how Crysis 3 on Ultra pales in comparison to various games in this gen.

You guys have some really expectations, we ain't getting games pushing hardware unless they are 1st party in the first two years, we will see cross-gen games until 2022.

How many Knacks?Imagine more and bigger knacks and you will have your answer when it comes to next gen visuals
Atomic Heart is the first game to give me that next-gen feel. Too bad it's in development hell and might never come out at this rate.
This and a cutscene are all we've got so far.
Crysis is a game developed by a PC-centric dev so it's more longer-lasting with his high-end PC assets, plus, if they have made the exact same game today, they would be able to optimize it better.I don't know. I recently replayed Crysis 3 and in my opiniont it doesn't look out of place between the average current gen AAA multiplat title.
I believe and hope most games will be 4k 60 frames. The consoles are more than twice as powerfull over the x. 4k 60 should be the new standard if Sony and Microsoft are pushing this.
How do you know what next-gen might be capable of? Doesn't seem outlandish to me. 1080 Ti is a three year old card, will be four next year.The issue is the part where it has to be an actual game.
The Wizard demo looked better than Detroit and that photorealism tech demo was running on PC. Not a console.
This is true.The CPU upgrade is massive and its potential for gaming is basically unexplored, even in high end PC games.
