Will we ever see mainstream AAA games scale back on graphics

No way. They're on the 4K train right now and they want everything to look as realistic as possible to make actually using 4K worth it.

Theres no need to compromize developers are just lazy and would rather up the system requirements and rush assassins creed 20 out faster than optimize their shitty code.

>4K Minecraft is a thing people are excited about

I don't know what to think about that. It's just Minecraft with a lighting engine that clashes to hell.

>Bigger worlds
why? Smaller world's packed with interesting gameplay challenges will forever be more entertaining that holding +forward until you walk into a camp of enemies you've already killed 500 times before.

Low poly is 20x more aesthetic when "realistic" graphics always skimp in certain areas to make it possible to run. If you can't do it right, don't do it at all.

Because faggot AAA devs put all their budget into ultra-realistic graphics instead of varied meaningful content
