What is a PBR texture?: "Physically Based Rendering (PBR) is a method of shading and rendering that provides a more accurate representation of how light interacts with surfaces. It can be referred to as Physically Based Rendering (PBR) or Physically Based Shading" - Sketchfab

    This type of rendering is indeed wonderful to see, however there is a reason why it's not used in most games. This relies on good hardware and increasing memory or improving memory usage offer little improvement. If hardware manufactures expanded the rendering pipeline and designed systems with this new rendering paradigm, then the growing need to handle huge amounts of assets in memory could be a thing of the past. This is the future. I pray it will be used for the next Elder Scrolls.

      Horizon Zero Dawn I think uses PBR, Maybe not. But it performs amazing for a console game

      I'm not sure either, but theoretically a game engine designed around PBR should perform better cause it relies on as much as a quarter of the assets that are normally needed. If Nintendo had an i7 equivalent processor, then Horizon Zero Dawn could possibly have gone mobile. Assuming it uses PBR of course. I am oversimplifying things more than a little to make a point regarding how great the future of gaming is if PBR rendering is adopted.

      Bethesda needs to do this for the next Elder Scrolls. That elven armor has such a clean new realistic look to it.
