Solely on graphics I would be fine with a moderate increase in visual fidelity if it meant the end of loading screens, pop ups in draw distance, drops in frame rate and smoother shading and lighting.
These are all nice things and I certainly do not mind pushing the envelope, but I do agree artistic aesthetics take precedent for me and why I can go back to 8 and 16 bit games easier than early realism oriented polygonal based games.
