Since the minimum and recommended specs for Starfield have come out, I've been budgeting to do a big upgrade on my PC with an AMD 6800 xt and a fancy new 1 TB SSD (which is the first game I've ever seen that requires an SSD) just so I can run the game in all it's space epicness.

What was the game that you were so excited for that you made the jump to upgrade your PC to the next gen of hardware? New or old!

Yeah, an engine rework that is up to current standards and can make the best of 2023 hardware is the dream... But I fear that one of the reasons why the series is still worth it for SEGA may be because they don't incur any crazy costs and investments like that and stay cost effective with minor iterations. Well that and because they release 25 dlc per game lol.

Personally I think that, until one of the potential competitors starts putting all the pieces together and becoming a real alternative, we will not see a significant technological change like that in the series again. At most I see some simple upscaling implementation but not much else.
I would be soooooo happy to be proven wrong on that though.
