Sony: We won't show PS4 until it can demonstrate 'a significant leap'

I'm sure watch dogs will look great, but it won't be an improvement on anything we've seen so far on consoles. 

The Last of Us didn't win those best of show awards because it has graphics that are better than anything we've seen before on consoles. It runs on the exactly the same engine as U3 aside from some changes to lighting (changes, not improvements). You really can't argue agaisnt that, it's a fact. Sorry you can't see that.

You seem to have the misunderstanding that a game running on the same engine means its the same two games technically.

No offense, but You clearly do not understand what you're talking about here, I'm afraid.

I think you've misunderstood me. I'm not saying that because it's on the same engine (ND engine) it can't improve visually (technically), I'm saying the engine hasn't been updated/improved in anyway whatsoever, aside from using a different lighting style or something. The game hasn't been improved visually over U3 in any way.

Maybe this will explain it better:

UC = ND engine 1.0

UC2 = ND engine 2.0

UC3 = ND engine 3.1

TLOU = ND engine 3.1 (or 3.2, either way the difference is incredibly small)

See how it isn't a progression as the others were? Looks like we're hitting a wall to me.
