This is a FPS, and honestly looks like a cartoon compared to the dice FPS games running mostly at 60fps, So this is a stylistic choice which look better while requiring less usually to do so. Those type of games tend to hold there visual appeal longer  compared that to let's say the first uncharted on ps3 which still holds up to later ps3 games. On PS3, not one third person game looks better then uncharted original  targeting 60fps on ps3 to this date.

The gap from Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 3 is larger than any equivalent gap on PS4. 

By this point in PS3's lifespan even non-crossgen launch titles like Resistance 1 looked almost a generation behind; nothing on PS4 now makes Killzone Shadowfall look a generation out of date, not even remotely.

It's not that PS4 hasn't gotten better graphically over time, it has, and its newer games do look noticeably better than Shadowfall, but if PS3's progress within its life was a 10 PS4 would be like a 3 or 4.

I disagree about uncharted 1 to 3 being the biggest gap then any Equivalent on PS4. To me seeing battlefront with that Big of a leap in graphics compared to any other game on ps4 at the time and 60fps was a bigger gap then uncharted 1 to 3.

You got me on Resistance that was a very unimpressive looking game on ps3, The least impressive ps3 exclusive by far.

A 3-4 is way too low. it's more like a 8. So many impressive looking games at 60fps blows my mind. So many times i have been blown away by how games keep looking better, and progressing like order 1886, GOW, Batllefront, Horizon, Resident evil 6, DMC 5, Last of us 2 and Spiderman 

Let's take 1886 as an example though; that launched when the PS4 was just over one year old, yet it is still cited as one of the best looking games on the system. To me that shows that progress hasn't been as drastic as last generation, where games from year 1-2 were left far behind.

If you are just looking at graphics, then yea, but it doesn't work like that. We have a huge complex open world games like Red dead 2 doing doing so much more, and exceeding those graphics, we have 60fps shooter exceeding those graphics, we finally have a action-adventure hack and slash that looks nextgen a  genre that hasn't evolved much graphically since Ninja gaiden on xbox.  Order 1886 is a very limited linear game, that also uses black borders to help it keep it's IQ.

I'm still not seeing this dramatic progress. Even the best looking early PS3 games were left looking incredibly dated by the time the system was this old, yet with PS4 its best looking early games like Killzone and 1886 are still not that far behind games coming out in Year 5/6.

PS4 was built with mature technology and was very easy to develop for and straightforward to fully harness, hence it didn't take developers years to come to grips with it like the PS3 with its exotic Cell processor.

The PS3's lifespan took it from this:

To this:

PS4 is never going to have a leap that big, it simply can't because its hardware was easy to exploit from day 1.

PS4 hardware really wasn't that easy to exploit, those weak CPU'S needed time for developers to find a way to work with.

Again you are only focusing on one game, and that killzone pics makes it look much better then it really does while playing it. mainly cause of the cool looking gun model.

Here is uncharted a early ps3 game. does anything on ps3 make this look a generation behind? Honestly  I have been impressed with ps4  progress  more then ps3.
