You know how that old song goes – you say 120fps, I say 60fps / you say ray tracing, I say I'm so bored, I just fell asleep / let's call the whole thing off! Something like that. That's what it might as well be now that multiple industry leaders, including former PlayStation Indies head Shuhei Yoshida, agree that gaming technology has hit a big brick wall.
"Graphics [have] almost hit the level that even I cannot tell the difference between some of the [graphical capabilities] like ray traced or not ray traced, unless it's side by side, or higher frame rate," Yoshida says during a recent episode of Skill Up's Friends Per Second podcast.
Not long ago, former Sony CEO Shawn Layden expressed a similar sentiment, wondering, "How many of us can really tell the difference between 90 frames per second and 120 frames per second?" Even PlayStation design consultant Mark Cerny – who's worked with Sony through multiple console cycles and helped create the PS4 and PS5 – feels like "the current approach" to ray tracing and lighting "has reached its limit."
Continuing this point, Yoshida says about PlayStation that, "clearly they just cannot do the same thing they have been doing, [which] is increasing the graphics power and providing high-end experiences."
With the superheroic power of the PS5, though, that may not be the worst thing ever. Yoshida explains: "I think PS5 is amazing system in terms of quality of experience. I think the adoption of SSD was like an almost miracle."
"I think PS5 and SSD has made almost every game a better game," he concludes.
I've seen AI created characters created which are virtually real, which look, are animated and behave like they're real.
I'm with you.
a) I don;t see a strategic reason why a technology company would say "Wll boys, we've topped out here, no more innovation"
b) Like you said it's not true. I've watched "documentaries" with AI chars and not realised until the credit that they were AI and not the actual people.
Sony has struggled this gen to make AAA games - absolutely failed in fact. So I see this as a cover statement of them conceding defeat, not against competitors, but against capacity. By Now PS5 should have 12 - 15 AAA Sony produced games. How many do they have? Class? Class?
That's a serious question.
Jesus

A miracle? SSD a miracle. Really? Here's another miracle, running water. In muy house I can just turn a lever and water comes out. Incredible!
It's a tiresome franchise.
Not on sale anymore.
The Toronto Blue Jays are going to the World Series! Woo hoo! What a tense game last night but the comeback kids did it again.
Running water IS a miracle, we just take it for granted.
There's plenty of stuff to focus on. I can see new consoles having dedicated AI cores like we have the rt cores now that can improve a bunch of stuff. Use AI to improve realistic cloth movement or more varied and naturalistic animations. It could be another pass like resolution upscaling that could really transform graphics.
I hope they fovus on this as well.
60 minute Kirby Air Riders Direct this Thursday. All hail Lord Sakurai!
Yes, I feel like new techniques using AI could be the real revolution here.In terms of creating content that's better animated, more detailed and to make it easier and cheaper to make games.
Next year, that will be the Colorado Rockies! They have no where else to go but up!
Finally!

Congrats. I don't begrudge the Jay's but I was rooting for Seattle as they've not been to the WS. Both good teams and a good ALCS.
HAving attended a good many Dodger games I am backing them of course, but hope for a competitive series.
I forget who said it, but we really do live better than kings did in the 19th century.
Interesting read. Apparently a lot of the game is inspired on the darker colonisationalist period in Japanese history (not by the Brits, but by the Japanese against native minorities).
I used to love MLB but just can't bother to watch these days. However, I did enjoy a Yankees/Astros game a couple of years ago, so maybe if I attend a live event.
Hope the gyro aiming is good.
