The 6th to 7th visual leap was remarkable but it was merely about the looks. The 5th to 6th visual leap had more impact on gameplay and storytelling. With 6th gen almost every good quality game started to have also a good frame rate, while, apart from a few exceptions, 5th gen games look like slow-motion by today standards. Before 6th gen it was almost impossible to have large scale enviroments full of animated objects like in GTA or in Jak 2. On storytelling it had a big impact thanks to facial animations, look @ the difference between MGS and MGS2 or FFVIII and FFX.
