Actually the skies in Witcher 3 are the most amazing part to me. Sunsets and the weather are breath taking with the way the light chances the environment. The biggest change this gen is that everything moves. Games nowadays look a lot better in motion and screenshots don't really do them justice anymore. Day/night cycles and weather look so much better than last gen. Worlds are really coming to life.

Ah, thanks I was going to ask about the Skies in Witcher 3. I remember the epic ones in Red Dead and Skyrim (and even Twilight Princess was an improvement.)
Yea, I was thinking how 5th gen gives you some 3D, 6th gen add you trees and such, 7th gen grasses and shrubs with those tress, then 8th gen you get the texture on the bark of the trees, and little critters going to the flowers, in addition to an extra flush of everything - the wind blows and move like you said.
Anyone who thinks this is a tiny leap doesn't remember generations 2-5. Plus we are at the begging of the gen - look at early last gen games compared to the ones they have now. That looks like a whole gen in itself.
It’s also something that once you have lived with one for a while it really hits you when you go back. Even a simple game like ‘Max and the Curse of the Brotherhood.' It is so smooth.
