What if Sony and Microsoft had waited until Nov '15 to release their 8th gen consoles?

A lot of games look better than Crysis 1. Just to start, Crysis 2 and 3 and Metro Last Light. Killzone SF is way, way ahead of Crysis 1. Crysis 2 is substantialy ahead of C1 and C3 is a bit better than C3, that's on a similar level to Metro LL and SF.

May I disagree with that assumption? Crysis did a splendid job, specially for an open world game that was limited to DirectX 9 shaders. Crysis 2 managed to improve performance mostly on the grounds it rendered fairly small areas limited by blocky architecture and object physics was mostly static and pre-set.

As to which looks better, well, they don't even take place on the same enviroments, do they.

The reduction in the world of the game was probably intended at making possible to do a big jump in visual quality. Crysis 2 looks way better than the first game, while the third game isn't much better than C2. So, even if it's unfair to the first game, the sequels look much better.

Of course, the enviroments are different, but this kind of discussion will always compare different games. Crysis 1 and 3 are way more similar than other top-visual contenders, like Shadow Fall, The Order, Ryse, Driveclub, Shadow of Mordor, etc.
