A lot of games did this.

Like each Final Fantasy game on the PS2 is a new engine. Each Resident Evil.

There was Renderware I guess to share liek Unreal. But that's it.

Not like these new game devs. I can really tell these new games are so unoptimized.

I mean look at this. Is this progress?? Not really. And 2024 has just waaaaay worse performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5fr1R8kZzI

And that's because most people don't really care about performance, just that it works.

The most important thing is that something exists not that it's at its peak performance.

Thats sad. Anyone can feel a difference in fps. MOST people DO care. Show them side by side.

So yea.

Shit devs.

I feel we are going backwards in quality. Like wtf happened. Look at the video. Just shit.

A game from 2015 and 2024 looks the same.
