In terms of raw numbers, quite a lot. I'll just name some third party games off the top of my head.
Even though art direction in The Conduit is unremarkable, the polygon count, texturing (the texture resolution is higher, perhaps too high as they look flat when not up close), and effects are well above RE4. But so far The Grinder looks to have both the numbers and the art direction.
Crystal Bearers also has better numbers, and its levels even have the numbers reduced to accommodate streaming.
Monster Hunter 3 from all the videos, same with Modern Warfare.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
