Why can't the industry (including competent developers) push the needle in terms of graphics past the peak that was achieved in the 8th gen despite 10x better hardware and performance?
Pic rel is Higgs from Death Stranding 2 from the same trailer
1st image is almost photorealistic with correct lighting, highly detailed textures, etc
2nd image is the same guy but with less detailed strands of hair, no accurate lighting, the bad ambient occlusion clearly separates the entire face from the hair and the textures are also low quality
I don't know if the first image and the majority of the trailer is CGI or not, but the second shot is very reminiscent of 8th gen games
It does not make sense that graphics still look the same despite all the advances in hardware, it can't be just lazy devs and long release schedules
>>42544it's dwindling for sure. voice actors often get overlooked in favor of known film actors and musicians. trained voice actors quite literally are not desired when looking for voice actors for more and more projects these days, and the voice actors that do get jobs tend to sound very samey and marketable. all of this really just leads to less people wanting to be voice actors.
why would anybody want to try and be a voice actor when it's obvious that the industry doesn't want voice actors?
