The article ignores the elephant(s) in the room... Negligible performance improvements year over year, and unavailability of cards at MSRP.
This means the opposite of what the article headline is suggesting. Mainstream PC gaming (on mid tier and/or new hardware) is more out of reach for people than it has been for decades...
Good thing the used market exists and new entry level last gen cards can sometimes be found at msrp. Still alot of people dont want to settle for a sub par experience at PC costs, and console gaming always meets the mark for price to performance.
We will see what the aaaactual gameplay looks like. If the hit detection and subsequent damage effects are at least at Doom's level, it could be a good game. This video might as well be a mock up.
