    Also GTA 5 has better performance on PS3/Xbox 360 (14 year old consoles) than cyberpunk has on ps4 or Xbox one. I get that cyberpunk is much more graphically intensive, but still it really shouldn't happen

      I'm even more amazed by Ghost of Tsushima now. That game is some sort of black magic. They made a PS4 exclusive look better than almost any game I've ever seen and it had 2 second load times on a hard drive.

          I advocate centrally planned videogame economy. One system that everyone gets and all games are optimized for it and the development studios are publicly funded and unionized.

              It's just easier to develop a game if there's a single well maintained piece of hardware. I wasn't even imagining this as a fantasy full communist thing more like a video game version of the USPS but instead of a mailbox you get a game console.

              It would make sense to have some sort of Unix box that everyone develops the games for that also serves as a general purpose computer that everyone gets for free. Would make development really simple.

                  Standardization of hardware and open sourcing software like DirectX would solve tons of problems. Opening up the source of proprietary software that everyone uses and investing heavily in those projects could do wonders for compatibility. I think the first step needs to be seizing all MSFT ip followed by AMD, Intel, and Nvidia. Turning all of those into state enterprise would make things much simpler. Yes, ideally eventually totally worker controlled, but you'd need to organize them into one entity first.

        PS4 exclusives always have some stunning visuals. Look at the last of us part 2, gran turismo sport, god of war and even horizon zero dawn for more examples. Whatever support Sony gives exclusive developers is clearly working

          For real. I bought a slim like 5 years ago on sale and it was totally worth it for shit like Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, and God of War. I mainly just use it as a streaming box, but having the option to play some baller games occasionally is also a huge plus.
