I'd like to ask a different question. If you don't think it is as large of a leap, did you watch the killzone, driveclub, and other game footage in SD or did you watch them in HD?
Also for a fun game I have four pictures of car games from the pre PS4 era. Just take a quick sec and say which platform it looks like off the top of your head. I know this is really easy to cheat at but that isn't the point. Also I fully admit to resizing and reshaping the pictures to manipulate your opinion.
