  1. I buy games based on graphics alone. Not bad games but games I usually don't play. For example, I don't like horror games but because RE Village has cutting edge graphics, I bought it.

  2. This makes me rethink the value of GTAV on the PS5.
    If they make it 4k, HDR, 60 fps with ray tracing…..might be worth it.
    I'd like to see more story and a bigger map but…..those simple upgrades would be worth $50…..

  3. Okay, here’s my problem. The altered graphics don’t look like what I see on the street. They look more like what you see when watching a video of what’s going on, on the street.

  4. Honestly that image enhancing looks dumb to me.. Game developers handcraft the look and feel and colouring of a set.. this realism i think ruins it.. i like the colourfull gta rather than this green tinted plain looking one that seems to drain all the fun of it
