- Gigachad 4y agoGiven the fact that the metaverse is widely mocked for looking like a Wii game, they probably do need to spend more time on graphics.
- nomel 4y agoIt's not a "time" thing. Current stand alone headsets are still severely hardware limited, and extremely budget constrained. You have two independent ~ 1920x1800 displays, running at 90Hz. That's hard for a mobile chipset to do. Quest 3 is supposed to have 2.5 to 3x graphics performance, so things will improve with new hardware, but you can only take it so far. Another big problem is that things look much different/better in person, in VR, compared to a 2d video. I don't see a solution for that.
- Philip-J-Fry 4y agoJohn Carmack says himself he wasn't even the best graphics programmer at Id. He was very good at the problem of game development in general and very good at optimising for performance specifically.
