Why Ps4 games look better than games on PS5 ?
I mean no game on Ps5 reached (not counting remasters) the level of DriveClub, Assasin Creed Unity or Uncharted 4 or Last of us 2.
There is nothing on PS5 that a Ps4pro couldnt handle

    4k was a mistake

      This, but it's also a case of increasingly poor optimization. The thing is that the the shitty Jaguar CPUs of PS4 and Xbox One could almost be seen as a positive. It forced developers to optimize their games more. All of a sudden, current-gen machined don't have completely garbage specs and you can already see companies use these specs to rush out games more instead of making truly "next-gen" experiences. This is one of the primary reasons why I want the Steam Deck to become a household name. It may force some companies to actually optimize their games for lower end hardwares instead of putting out a rushed, shitty product. The reason you see some "devs" complaining about the Series S isn't because it's actually holding this generation back, it's because it requires any amount of skill to develop for.

        It's actually simpler than that, most talented coder left those company and are working on indie titles with almost no budget, when the others are stuck on big AAA rushed project that never have time to push the boundaries of graphics anymore (like FIFA, COD, FORZA, Battlefield etc....) due to the constant 1/2 years release plan.

              It is, it was even "somewhat" leaked from exec talks in interviews "why do we have different racing game competing on a PS console ?" said one of higher up when talking about the fate of DC.

              One of the ex-leads of Evolution said that Driveclub was actually proposed as "Gran Turismo: Driveclub" and they pitched it to Sony who loved it, but Kaz Yamauchi vetoed it and didn't want GT to have anything to do with Driveclub. Evolution also wanted to share car models and data with Polyphony. Got the same cold shoulder. Evolution even had the support of Kaz Hirai (Who was trying to get a GT movie in the works) in wanting to spin off Gran Turismo into more games but in the end, Yamauchi won the Kazbowl. Driveclub had to stay it's own game.

              The online issues were self inflicted and it took a few updates for Driveclub to really get into gear, but what could have been had Sony told Yamauchi to stop being a b***h.

            Indeed, they also closed liverpool studio (Wipeout) all of this to make sure that GT have no racing game to compete from first party.

            I really enjoyed Evolution’s games, but also think Sony was somewhat justified in closing them. The game was supposed to be a major tent pole at launch, it got delayed a full year, and the servers were totally fricked when it came out. Although it was a great game with great DLC I doubt it was super successful considering the issues. I really wish we got a sequel or at least a PS4 Pro patch though.

    For my money, Horizon Forbidden West is the best looking game out there (too bad about all the other parts of it). That said, DriveClub is a 1080p/30fps game. PS5 could run it at 4K/60fps easily but Sony never patched the game, not even for PS4 Pro.

      I can somewhat understand this
      It takes so much money, work and skill improving graphics that are already getting close to realism that companies just cant do it, especially when they have to make a game every 2 years.
      But i dont know why the graphics are getting worse in some cases

    >Prove me wrong

    I won't and I can't.

    The PS5 runs the same hardware as the PS4, just repackaged and with a fancier controller. DYKG even did a piece on it. Likely recompiled the OS to make it different at a first glance, but that's about it.

    Game developers have gotten better at utilizing the hardware, so of course games look generally better over time. But there is nothing inherent to the PS5 that makes things run better than the PS4.

    And trust me, game developers are the last people that care about hardware, as long as they have the power they need. They knoe the ins and outs of the industry and they want to make good shit; that's literally it. If they can do that on a PS4 game (which will run on PS5 anyway) then there is literally no reason not to do it; Soby's artificial scarcity has caused a shortage of players anyway so the market is much bigger.

      I am a game developer so I explain:

      only Driving games look this good because it is easy to render something like this so well because the player barely interacts with most of the environment.

        AND you are fairly sure which parts of the environment will be in vision at any moment during a lap, so you can swap a lot of assets in and out of memory during a run.

        AND you are fairly sure which parts of the environment will be in vision at any moment during a lap, so you can swap a lot of assets in and out of memory during a run.

        Im a game developer, and the answer is not because of this (not fully).
        First, racing game have actually a lot more going on the physic part than other games, they also move at a faster pace, which mean more constrain on the streaming part (which take a lot of resource) and finally, they are quite heavier in term of lightning/material due to most cars requiring reflections and precise shading.

        The real reason why racing game can usually have better graphics is because they need less moving parts (animation take a lot of resources), they usually need less textures per area (though, this trend to be less the case) and have less update to do on the overall world (which again, is less and less the case with open world racing game).

    Games have been moving more and more and more towards programmatic graphics over artisanal graphics. In other words, the artist has less and less control over things, such as lighting, now the engine handles lighting, while maybe the artist hand tweaks the lighting in cutscenes only. The end result is often "souless" and lacking the influence of an artist's eye to exaggerate various things to communicate messages and feelings. Another way to put it is games are becoming more simulation and less art.

      Exactly and this is something that the execs of those big company like it, since they can take the cheapest labor possible without having to keep paying those great skilled dev and artist.

      Driveclub does have a very skilled art team, as shown from the work they did in the audio, graphic and gameplay department, hell, even the marketing surrounding the game was excellent.

      Huh, I still have my original game on disc. How does it perform on the PS5?

      Exactly the same, unfortunately.

    The extra power of the new consoles is just going into bruteforcing unoptimized garbage and memetracing. Combine that with the abhorrent art direction (or lack thereof) and the result is obvious.
