Or are games like Cyberpunk or Red Dead just made with early-mid 2010’s tech?
Edit: to clarify, development didn’t actually start 8 years ago, but rather the game was announced 8 years ago. Thanks to the commenters for letting me know!
If you listen to old school programmers a common theme you hear is “this would have been so much easier to do today.”. The advancing helps more than it hinders by removing constraints and bottlenecks.
