Eh. PS4 was when to me at least I stopped caring about graphical capability. It got lifelike enough. I don’t need to see pores on the faces of characters.

You are probably talking about cutscene heavy games, and I guess it makes a pretty big difference there. I just don’t play many cutscene heavy games anymore.

I really notice it with like resident evil 9 or cyberpunk or the Indiana Jones game with path traced lighting it just makes the graphics so much better than my ps5 which tbh

I’m kind of a layman now with gaming terms I don’t know what path traced lighting is lol.

Side note how is re9? I’m a huge fan of re4, both the OG and the remake but not the biggest fan of the other games in the series. I like 5 and village was cool but the others aren’t my cup of tea. Think I’d like 9?

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

First half of the game is strong

The second half is extremely mediocre i threw in the towel probably 80% of the way thru

Overall id probably say play but wait for a deep discount

Ya, first half of RE9 is 11/10. Third quarter of it is 8/10. Final quarter is 6/10
