they need to stop with the open world shyt, its done to death
Level based gaming will enable deeper game play mechanics, better graphics and as well as better performance
Look at Devil May Cry 5, it performed and looked the same on consoles and PCS, only with PC have uncapped frame rate but even the PS5 can run at 120hz , and the game is not a slouch graphically at all, that's the difference when you're not using a bloated open world
story driven games make more sense in a linear world, V is facing death, but I can go around doing side quest as long as I want with no impact on the story or no penalty or threat, how is that immersion
Grand Theft Auto lets you free rom and kill anything, when you should be wanted for the entire game based on your actions not be treated like you never existed when your stars go away
open world games are just dumb, until the physics get good enough where you can have complex AI interactive with the entire environment and the entire environment is destructive, they need to just move onto something else, its stagnated gaming
The world map, field map, design of RPGS still works, it gives you a sense of exploration but limits you to a linear progression to match the narrative of the story
