Is the graphic leap to 8th gen as noticeable as previous leaps?

It is large enough to be noticeable. The first wave of games on the 360 and PS3 respectively didn't impress me. I recall people calling the 360 the Xbox 1.5 until Gears of War hit so that's pretty telling.

Also, screen shots can be deceptive. One has to consider motion as well. I've seen beautiful games with jerky movements, bad frames and screen tearing - overall just lacking smoothness. Killzone: Shadow Fall seems unshackled by these things.
