Something's missing this generation...what is it?

I think we reached a threshold in the 7th-gen...

If you think about it, every new console generation offered up new possibilities in terms of what kinds of games were possible. There were a ton of new games that weren't possible before, and that's what made every new generation great.

This time, however, the PS4 and Xbox One can't really do much special that the PS3 and Xbox 360 couldn't do (Other than prettier graphics). That's why we're seeing so many cross-gen titles as well.

Couldn't have said it better myself. What disappoints me is that these cross-gen titles often run at 30fps even on the new consoles. I'm not convinced that their has been a big enough boost in CPU power in these new consoles. In fact I'm amazed that they are selling so well.

So much truth in these two posts.

Although I am sure the PS4/Xbone have great CPU power its just that the devs refuse to try and use it to its full potential. Instead of slightly more polygons I would rather have bigger more intricate worlds/enemy AI and patterns/etc.
