Playstation is about graphics, in your opinion is Ghost of Yotei a step back compared to other ps5 games?

That's not how that works.
I swear, this forum is fucking depressing. Its just a bunch of people riling themselves up of stuff that doesn't matter, for no reason.

Development of a console starts many years before it releases. The timeline from SoC Design to tapeout is at a minimum 3 years. Never mind the industrial design, PCB layout, RAM and Storage volumes, thermal engineering, and all the associated product development and supply chain planning that is required years in advance of release. Sales of a game coming out later this year, will not impact the development of a console which started design at least 5 years ago.

wrong , a Microsoft engineer once said that no console really exists until 18 months before its release.

True, but things can be changed today if they wanted for a system arriving in 2 to 4 years…
Original PS4 design had 4GB RAM
Sony reveals first pass at next-generation console had "only" 4GB of memory.

There are good posts. In some threads lol. The depressing ones are more like facepalmers if you're busy looking for the next good one. Even dumb threads (sorry

) can get gears turning and produce smart posts.

That's quite a stretch. In my opinion, the only reason Sony might not be going all-in on hardware is probably because there may not be another traditional Xbox coming. But even that I highly doubt.

That explains Xbox massive success...
IIRC, just the mass production process of the ps4 Apu took 6 months, with the process getting longer every time they shrink nodes. Add to that R&D, prototype production and testing, redesigns, assembly, distribution, etc and you need a good 3 years minimum.

I started Playing Ghost of Tsushima this week, but it looks like a very early PS4 game.
Vegetation looks good enough. And there are moments when the art work is really striking. And it helps hiding the low quality of the textures.
But graphics wise this is a very dated game. Texture work is really bad, almost every texture in the game world is low res and low quality.
Even the bump mapping effects are lackluster. FFS, even Crysis 2 had a better implementation.
Water effects are also dated, but there isn't much of it, so it doesn't stand out as much.
Character models are decent enough, but nothing special.
Ghost of Yotei seems to be the exact same thing. While using the high settings for draw distance from the PC version.

It would be nice if game developers today knew that there's a cool third choice between 'hideously boring' and 'big booba bonanza'.

We already have good example of none Asian devs making good looking character design.
Sony could learn something from them.

Help me understand why that is such a bad thing in this economy. What publisher do you see in gaming that employs studios that dont make money, lol? Even so, Sony has still allowed Team Asobi creative freedom to make Astro Bot, which isnt a huge money maker. Hell they've even greenlit Guerilla Games to make a Legos Horizon spinoff.
What do you mean "safe? Lately it seems as though the meaning of safe on NeoGaf is just sequels to popular games. Safe in that sense doesnt gurantee success, and you still have to swing for the fences to keep from being complacent. Its not Sonys first go around if a game flops. Businesses are always looking at new ideas and ways to evolve. The PS3 generation was full of flops when they were trying to find a competitor to Halo and COD. Thats what they're still doing now....
If Intergalatic isnt a huge success, that has nothing to do with the other studios from Playstation, but Naughty Dog is quite possibly the only studio Sony has whose earned the right or leniency to take a big risk based on what they did with Uncharted and The Last of Us. Recent history shows you dont need a 250M budget for a new IP to be successful; Black Myth Wukong, Expedition 33, Stellar Blade, Helldivers 2, etc. If Intergalatic isnt a huge success, I find it hard to believe that they couldnt make another new IP with the same budget they had when they created The Last of Us. The in game advertisements alone could have nullified the budget by 50M, bringing it closer to a "safe" investment.

I would admit the closest you tend to get is if you get a launch title or within the first year or so of a console gen when a game pushes new graphical tech for the time. Gears of War 1 on 360 was another one, because it also used heavy amounts of instanced modular geometry pieces that allowed them to push fidelity above most things for the time. Infamous: Second Son was one of the first games I saw make use of physically based rendering.

The person who said that was an Xbox 360 engineer
but even if the processing power isn't nerfed, they will nerf the games, that's possible.

Sony is putting ugly chicks on purpose, so there is nothing to learn.
