Exploding production cost is pretty much the only reason (eg we hit diminishing returns in overall game asset quality vs production cost at least a decade ago) plus on the tech side a brain drain from rendering tech to AI tech (or whatever the current best-paid mega-hype is). Also, working in gamedev simply isn't "sexy" anymore since it has been industrialized to essentially assembly line jobs.
Have you played it? I haven't so I'm just basing my opinion on some YouTube footage I've seen.
BF1 is genuinely gorgeous, I can't lie. I think it's the photogrammetry. Do you think the lighting is better in BF1? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that BF6's lighting is more dynamic.
Yes I played it on a 4090. The game is good but graphics are underwhelming.
To my eyes everything looked better in BF1.
Maybe it's trickery but it doesn't matter to me. BF6, new COD, and other games all look pretty bad. At least compared to what I would expect from games in 2025.
I don't see any real differences from similar games released 10 years ago.
It's fine, but definitely a downgrade compared to previous titles like Battlefield 1. At moments it looks pretty bad.
I'm curious why graphics are stagnating and even getting worse in many cases.

The progress in 9 years do seems underwhelming.

It’s far from an assembly line job, but it’s unstable, challenging and the pay hasn’t kept up with the rest of the tech sector.

It looks like Frostbite 4.0 is so much better than Unreal 5.x. I cant wait to see comparison.
