It's amazing seeing the amount of downplaying, in terms of the actual leap. Seems like a lot of it is coming from Nintendo fans. I suppose a conitinuation of the "the PS4 won't be that big of a leap over the Wii U." It is quite a leap over last gen. Just as equal as any leap, really. Of course, to truly compare you have to compare launch titles to launch titles.

Resistance (PS3)

Killzone: SF (PS4)

Yep, not much of a leap, at all.

It is a nice leap, but I just don't think it has the same impact or is as obvious as the ps2-ps3 or xbox-360 leaps.

I think I'll post some launch racing games, just to show the leap, as well.

Ridge Racer (PS1)

Rider Racer V (PS2)

Ridge Racer 7 (PS3)

Drive Club (PS4) (Skip to ~2:30)

Again, not much of a leap.

You clearly weren't around for the SNES-N64 or N64-Gamecube leaps. ;)

I'm a old NES owner... after SNES, PlayStation, N64, PS2 and PS3/Wii.

Maybe, yeah maybe, the SNES to N64 was big but that's just because the 2D to 3D is more noticiable... I don't know if the jump was that big.

But form the first games the PS4-PS3 jump is bigger than PS3-PS2.

Cool, hope they eventually show off these games that show this huge leap. Because right now all I have seen are slightly better looking games that play just like current gen games.

Dreamcast saw games like NFL2k and Soul Calibur at launch that blew anything away we'd previously seen both in visuals and how they played. That's still the biggest leap imho. And PSone to PS2 seemed bigger than anything we'll see from Sony/MS this gen too.

It's been said many times that gamers will be pretty disappointed expecting a huge leap this gen.

No way in hell this is bigger then snes/mega drive >N64/PS1 or > PS2/GC

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

This is clearly a bullshit article. SNES/SEGA to PS1,N64,Saturn is the biggest jump no matter how you cut it. Hell, even PS1 to PS2 was more obvious. We seen PS4 already so it was spoiled already.

Yep, not much of a leap, at all.

Since most people are comparing lanch titles, how come nobody compares launch titles when talking about the PS3/360 vs the WIi U? It's always a newer game vs a Wii U launch game.
