Seeing more and more games with late 90s/early 2000s type graphics. I assume we will skip recreating the Brown Sludge era but regardless I wonder what people are going to obsess over once graphics are Done. Like once we have fully real time raytracing all that’s left to do is to look back over the last several decades and start appreciating everything each era and graphical style has to offer without the brainworm of technological progress telling us anything old is useless and bad. Obviously a lot of people are already doing this but once we stop coming out with new graphics everything, including raytracing, will crystallize into “what was” and everyone will be forced to live and explore that landscape because there won’t be a new best thing to cling to. Either that or they stick with raytracing, get bored and give up, or come up with idk, a new coordinate system where Z is anti-spinward, just to get that hit of something new. Just one more graphics bro just one more I swear bro this is the last graphics we need to make games art bro I swear just one more graphics please bro
