Yes, but it's being held back by poor quality last gen hardware.

Not necessarily! PS4 and Xbox One games have the exact same assets as their PC counterparts but with lower graphic settings. We know this is the case from homebrew Switch, and how some games (witcher 3) have hidden debug modes that allow graphic quality to be changed.

I just hope the Cyberpunk 2077 delay is used to keep the staff working at a reasonable rate, rather than trying to cram like 10 months of work into 5 months of delay.

Crunch basically works against development so it's more like 3 months of work actually gets done in 5 months of delay, followed by even more crunch to patch all the bugs.

Exactly this. Anything over 40 hours a week, is a significantly bad return on investment. There are developers last year that talked about 100 hour work weeks for 6 - 9 months, Bioware is the most well known of these.

Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed so it comes out after the new William Gibson book obviously

i've never played a ps4 or xbox one game so i'm still wowed by the incredible fidelity of like, mario odyssey and stuff lol. i actually think switcher 3 looks really nice, not just "good for a handheld" but the art style really shines at the reduced resolution and gives everything a sort of painterly effect. the more verdant parts of the countryside in hearts of stone are really striking imo

I legit think it's his best. I liked the Blue Ant trilogy a lot but it felt pretty shallow, and the peripheral was a return to more heavy material

Nope, the coming generation will be the one to finally usher in cheaper, faster development. 🤞
