When did you first notice that grafix had diminishing returns?

N64 had banjo and Zelda OOT, after that both of the sequels  for those games were hardly a upgrade, progress was dead, mean while on ps4, you have horizon GOW, then red dead 2 which people were in disbelief it could run on base ps4, and we still have last of us 2 which looks mind blowing.

See we're still just on opinions though. I'd say the progress N64 made from launch to the likes of Conker dwarfs the difference between Shadowfall and any later PS4 game.

The whole subject is opinion based, you were trying to make into a fact based argument. Gains come mostly from developers finding new ways for rendering technics, and learning how to use the hardware as efficiently as possible. It really doesn't matter if PS4/xb1 are standardized mature tech because developers weren't trying to find  new  rendering technics, or learn how to use that hardware as efficiently as possible before PS4/XB1 came out., The main focus was still ancient 360/ps3 till current gen came out.
