My grandfather is also still very capable, yet I wouldn't take him out go karting anymore.
Come on memory limitations are seriously starting to hold things back.
Please not 3 more years of struggling to meet 720p, 30fps, lengthy installs and loading times.
At least there's no reason to look into a 3dtv until then.

arent you forgeting something.... Uncharted 1, 2, 3, Killzone 3, and GOWIII, all 720p, with rock solid framerates, no installs, no loading times, all show cases for graphics

True, but I bought a 1080p tv 5 years ago. The graphics use up all processing time and memory so there's not much left for huge open levels with many characters on screen or complex AI. Those games are definitely beautiful and great to play, but sometimes I want something less point A to B.

Mostly I'm just disappointed in From dust, it could have been so much more. Bad pathing and tiny map size can only be blamed on working with too limited resources.

A new gen can give birth to some great new franchises when the graphics war hasn't yet taken over all processing power. The mobs in dead rising, heavenly sword and kameo were great for example. Lair was very ambitious with the huge maps and long draw distances though unfortunately unplayable. TDU was awesome for the huge map and novel online play, but the sequel got quickly forgotten for not keeping up with the graphics war. Ridge racer 7, wipeout HD, super smooth 1080p gameplay. Where did that go.
