I think video games are following the same historical arc that the development of painting did. Everything gets more and more realistic, until we decide we've conquered that and start going in other directions like Picasso. I would love to see less realistic games, and more surrealistic games. Copying human life on Earth is overplayed in the video game arena. Games used to be about crazy circumstances and wild ideas, especially back before graphics mattered too much. They used to focus on making a good game dynamic to sell a good game. Now it's just all graphics, and the game dynamics are almost an afterthought. I hope in the post-realism age of video game graphics we will see a return to focusing on good game dynamics. Everything now is microtransactions and hyper-realism, and I'm honestly tired of it. It's boring and overdone.
