Uhhhh they are focused on realism.
Ray tracing. 

the video has nothing to do with ray tracing

My two cents

In terms of realism , such as 3d objects and effects and textures..... not a lot has happened in several years. Be it down to lack of innovation , or game developers just hitting their time/budget limit for how real a game can look and still be profitable. I cannot help but feel that pushing a refresh rate of 240hz is just a way to create a new benchmark to hit despite 99% of people not needing it. More or less an excuse to create demand for something we didn't know we wanted until they told us we wanted it.

Basically , I wish they'd focus on realism over refresh rate. But I think moores law is forcing them to go down this refresh rate path to more or less hide the fact that they are short on ideas.

I've said this recently already, reason we're not seeing much improvements in the last few years is this console generation is weak af and barely an advancement over the previous gen.  And consoles are the defacto lead platform for many games, I think that's just undeniable. 

 

It's not computing power (on PCs) because that went up significantly (even though less than it ideally would) 

And it's also not lack of innovation,  innovation comes from new tech usually and there just isn't any. 

 

No reflections doesn't count. 

 

 

 

Ironically. Real full ray tracing (not just for lighting effects but the whole game) would be such an innovation, but we're a decade or two away from that realistically. 

 

 

I agree the fact that refresh rate and by extension resolution is the new (old) gimmick is a direct effect of this situation and I agree I'd prefer more realism and better physics by a lot. 

Heck still most games have terrible clipping issues,  unrealistic movements and spaghetti hair. 

 

I think,  when nvidia release 7nm gen we might see an end of this creative drought - well,  I think so, I hope so.
