Regardless of resolutions or performance we're gonna get open world games on next gen that are more advanced than those games. Better A.i, more interiors, more NPCs, faster load times, etc, etc.

Sure the pinnacle of next gen will exceed this gen. Didn’t argue otherwise.
Just putting into perspective the amount of power it takes to get something running and looking that good.
That to me is much, much more important. And obviously big budgeted games like RDR 2 are gonna put a strain on hardware. But look at what RDR 2 accomplished on base model consoles. Look at what GTA 5 accomplished on the 360/PS3 yet... Looks dated compared to RDR 2. And Gen 8 wasn't even a big leap mathematically compared to this upcoming next gen again, mathematically.
We aren’t using better hardware. We are using hardware that is almost as good as the best on offer right now.
Never said RDR2 was “the ceiling” it’s a good example of the best on offer right now. Most games won’t meet that.
ND next game won’t be of larger scale than RDR2.
WatchDogs 1 did not look better than GTA on PC, nore was it larger in scale.
Y’all make too much of this “next gen” “last gen” nonsense.
There’s already “next gen” level hardware out there and we can already see what devs are doing with it.
out of all games this gen RDR2 took the graphics of something like a Naughty Dog game and put them on the scale of an open world game we’ve never seen before.
Very few games will meet that

I keep forgetting what this shyt is called.

What happened to using numbers?
It doesn’t help that the controller looks the same.

It took ~7 years to progress from GTAV to RDR2.
Why y’all looking at low/ mid budget games a year latter and being disappointed?
These games looked great compared to their last gen counterparts.
“The Medium” looked as good as a Naughty Dog game, and is being made on a much smaller budget and will run to 4K 60fps on Series X.
To me that’s impressive as hell. Don’t really know what you guys expect

Uh.... Yea on two completely different hardwares. Which is the point.
I think you're confusing me with someone else. Because... I never mentioned I was disappointed. When did I say I was disappointed in anything???? Outside of NO gameplay being shown?Why y’all looking at low/ mid budget games a year latter and being disappointed?
Of course they did. But my point is... Even with gen 8 being a small leap games like RDR 2 looked AMAZING. And by the time of GTA 5 the hardware of PS3 and 360 were dated af and yet the game managed to look amazing. Same with Last of Us on PS3 late in the gen.
I think you're confusing me with someone else or just not paying attention to my arguments. Because I never said these games looked bad in fact I was arguing against people saying next gen will be a weak leap. YOU who was agreeing with them. So again are you paying attention to the arguments? In fact I said Assassins Creed Valhalla looks AMAZING.
We have PC tech out right now that exceeds what will be in the Series X.
We have examples of what hardware that powerful can do right now.
“Next gen games” means nothing absolutely nothing. Just a buzzword people use.
Just look at something like Call of Duty Ghosts on PS4. Looked pretty weak. We never expected we'd get better but then Modern Warfare dropped a new engine and looked WAY better and even added a whole Battle Royale mode with a hundred players. If someone compared Modern Warfare 2 on PC running at max settings at the time saying don't expect much better we'd they'd be proven wrong by now.
But those games are beholden to a weak baseline for consoles. Look at Star Citizen it can't even be ran on current gen consoles. We have examples of what powerful hardware can do for CURRENT gen games. You're stuck on performance metrics solely.
Look at what was made running on a GTX 970

Prosperity, longevity and a sound mind.
Games didn’t impress me but we’ll see...godfall looks better than all of em showed 
its not on “two completely different hardwares”
Why the hell yall act like only consoles exist?
Graphics tech gradually and consistently improves. It’s not tied to generations of console hardware. In ~7 years a game will outdo RDR2.
Excuse me, but I thought we started this exchange when you said nothing shown today looked better than last gen. Did I read that wrong?
Nah, this ain’t 1995 the idea of “baseline” hardware and rigid generations is long gone.
Star citizen can run on console level hardware right now.
Games can be scaled over a large range of hardware.
