Let's face  it. 

There  isn't much  room  left for fotorealistic improval (at least  until I.A. can start generating realistic 3d models and textures) 


For humans creating textures is a ton of work. Every  model needs to be created and textured for hoursandhours.  
If you  don't have a triple A budget the game won't put a  dent  in an up to date gpu. 

And there is no need to.  Graphics look great since a decade.  Many  games  start  putting design on top  of the agenda not  realism. 

Who  needs another bland  game like that  when you can have  emersive, creative and beautiful games like hollowknight, sea od thieves,  undertale, portal, ori and the blind forest,ect.

It's nice to have  the opportunity to create realistic graphics if needed by the artists but  design is the future of this  artform  not  pure  realism.

FFXV is made on the same engine (Luminous Engine), runs on a GTX1060 and looks much better than whatever the fuck this is
