Maybe in terms of pixels, teraflops, gigahertz, RAM, memory, [insert more technical jargon], etc. But it doesn't look like it at all, at least not with my eyes. Most of the games shown looked like super-polished PS3 games, for the videos that actually showed gameplay. I guess that's one effect when graphics become so good that further advancements can't be noticed by the human eye. I believe the PS1 --> PS2 and PS2 --> PS3 were much more impressive.

Of course this is based on what was shown so far. I'll need to play it on an HDTV for my final judgement. And I will also have to wait for later games. Though I doubt I would have the ability to truly appreciate the entirety of the advancement.

Just look at the launch games for PS3... they are close or only a little better than GoW2, Shadown of Colossus or Vangrant Story... Killzone launch title for PS4 is way better than GoW:A for example.

You kidding?  Are you telling me that Resistance and Motorstorm look "only a little better" than late-gen PS2 games?

GoW2:

 

Shadow of the Colossus:

 

Resistance, Fall of Man:

 

 

Motorstorm:

 

Aside from the character models of the colossi in Shadow of the Colossus, none of those late-gen PS2 games are even comparable to a 1st gen PS3 game from a graphics standpoint.

Yes, Gow2 was comparable to Genji and Untold Legends. NBA '07 was comparable to NBA 07 on Ps2. Why are you comparing an action game to a racing game?

I was comparing the top late-gen PS2 exclusives to the top PS3 launch exclusives.  Why are you comparing sports games?  That's a terrible barometer... Madden '06 on 360 looked hardly any better than Madden on the current gen consoles of the time for example, and it played even worse due to the bugs.
