It all depends on what 'nextgen' means. I associate nextgen mostly with the graphical leap between console cycles and secondarily with gameplay that couldn't be accomplished in previous generations. As for launch, the titles I see as nextgen are more graphical because I don't think the launch window titles will provide much in terms of innovative gameplay.
Ryse has great nextgen graphics, but the gameplay is pretty lackluster. As far as the combination of graphics, scope, and gameplay, The Division and Infamous: Second Son are pretty nextgen, but openworld titles never scream nextgen on first impression because the graphics don't pop like some smaller scale games do. And in terms of gameplay, neither one of these are likely to be more ambitious than GTA5 so they kind of make me go 'meh'.
Overall, I'd have to give it to Battlefield 4...even though current PCs are doing the same thing.
