Is there any current benchmark that could give us a glimpse of what to expect of next gen graphics? Supposing it is a graphics leap as big as PS2->PS3

I'm always curious to find that out...

Check Metro 2033 maxed out screenshots if next gen comes in 2012.

lol I'd be very disappointed if next gen don't look better than that. Metro 2033 is not significantly better looking than Uncharted 2.

I expect at least twice nicer looking than that Haven benchmark. A Haven with more polygons and sharper textures.

Let's assume that Metro 2033 maxed out does indeed look like UC2 (which it doesn't, not even by a long stretch) or GoW3 (same) you have to keep in mind that there were some heavy restrictions on those games. The only reason GoW3 loked to good is ebcause the developers had absolutely full control of the camera and what you could see. SO while it looked good wherever the camera was pointed at, I guarantee you that the textures and scenery dropped out the moment you could move the camera.

I agree about what you say about God of War 3. It's "fake" graphics when you got a nearly static camera.

Uncharted 2 has nearly free camera look though.
