Description

Video games have always been attempting the most realistic visuals that hardware and software allows. But over the last couple of generations the cost to value ratio of this pursuit seems to be diminishing. Games are taking longer to create and the advancements in visuals are sometimes barely noticeable or require hardware the average gamer doesn’t even have. Is this worth it?


In this episode of Your Friendly Neighborhood Gamers, Andrew and Dylan discuss this topic and share their thoughts and opinions on the state of the industry, specifically when it comes to graphics and visuals in video games.
