Back then there were much fewer games and we could be looking for major improvements. Magazines were fun to read because of that.
Computers have been able to run high quality graphics and relatively demanding games for so long, there are several great games, and a truckload of good or average ones in every genre and they don't look like ass.
The technological wiggle-room is so big now even small studios can make gems. ( And the 2 games I bothered buying in the past years were made by small studios and look great. )
Plus many classics of the SNES era aged so well their graphic style is still appreciated today.
So my excitement for new games that make a selling point of pushing for more RAM/GPU/CPU-demanding microscopically-acurate graphics is near zero.
Great visuals have been around for very long and somehow studios manage to make stuff look like ass. Very detailed, fluid, shaded, ray-traced crap.
Sometimes deliberately uglifying the characters.
Rest in the woke death pit, E3.
We have enough classics to let the big woke names die without regrets.
