Well, the number of PC players with a non RT card is diminishing. RTX has been available since 2018 now.

I don’t think there’s a better movie sequel than Terminator 2. It’s the reason why it’s still an ongoing franchise today.

Would people still watch the first Terminator if it wasn’t for Terminator 2?

Video game graphics seem to have reached diminishing returns at this point. Games are more expensive to make, but the end consumer barely notice any visual difference.

There was a time when having the best graphics in any video game was a selling point. People argued whether X360 or PS3 could produce best graphics. Now, nobody cares.

From a professional perspective I’d say: don’t rewrite if you’re unsure about it. Rewrite if there’s a particular problem you need to solve and a rewrite is the only way to do it.

For example, you need to make major changes in the tech stack. Like switching from PHP to NodeJS. This is difficult to do without a complete rewrite.

Rewrite for the sake of rewrite is usually a waste of time, and it’s not certain that the code will turn out better in the end. You might end up with a similarly convoluted system either way. And the worst part is: now you have two systems to maintain at the same time.

Likewise, refactor if there’s a particular problem you want to solve. Don’t refactor just for the sake of refactoring. If you don’t have a clear goal, then you’re just scrambling the code around.

From a hobbyist perspective: do whatever you feel like. A complete rewrite can be a good learning experience.

It’s a hyped language because it solves many problems that has persisted with C and C++ - without having to rely on garbage collection.

If anything, it’s underused. Not that I believe everything should be rewritten in Rust. That’s just stupid.

I believe it was more the success of the Bourne movies that set the tone of the Craig era.

I think the bigger question is which tone the new films will be in. Are they going to continue on the more grounded tone they’ve been doing recently, or will they do some campy nostalgia bait?
