Comment on The fact that even 3D games are old now blows my mind on a regular basis.

I remember in the early 3D days, 2 sequels with a 7 year gap would have looked vastly different. I just started KCD1 after finishing KCD2 and even though it is 7 years older, it looks identical.
To put into perspective: the gap between MGS1 and MGS2 was just 3 years.

tbf, MGS1 and MGS2 were different console generations…
although the same is true for KCD1/2.
it is insane how were reaching the end of the Moore law.

Moore’s Law has been dead for a long time.
Moore’s Law hypothesises that transistors in an integrated circuit will double every two years, primarily down to transistor density improvements.
Intel in particular really like to say it’s still alive, because it’s what investors want to hear, but in reality transistor density improvements have slowed quite a bit, and we’ve had to rely on other things for better performance.

there’s also the issue that Moore law was used as a development target, making it a self fulfilling profecy, there’s also the issue that if were less strict (rather than doubling transistor density we just consider computer power in general) computers are still improving ish, although it’s clearly slower than it used to be
