But as an answer for if there were any “killer features” in TVs for the last few years, better inputs and panel refresh rates are about the best new things outside of brighter OLEDs.
For gaming probably HDMI 2.1 for higher frame rates, VRR, and/or 40fps with ray tracing and whatnot.
But in general…not really. I just got a new tv for these features plus it having a brighter oled panel than my last one. But at this point I imagine I’ll have this tv for years and years.
Something about a non twitch shooter where you have to think about your squad a little bit feels so good in a sea of 360 no scope garbage. My last favorite online shooter was The Division 2, so maybe tight, squad gameplay is just my thing.
The missions can get a little samey, but since the terrain always changes it’s still nice to explore around and have new experiences. But also it feels like there is so much room you add new missions and planets and bad guys.
Finally, a live service game that kind of makes sense thematically.
There’s a brand new (within a year) Wendy’s near my house, and I feel like the food is still OK, however the burgers feel really small now. And it’s a lot more expensive.
Everywhere got more expensive, so that’s not a new thing, but still.
Pretty much all of these tech valuations are made up bullshit.
But is this one of the most made up bullshittiest? Only time will tell.
