The inflection point for diminishing returns appears to be the PS3/360 generation

As people have already pointed out, launch titles are always a minimal jump over the latest games from the previous generation. If Killzone Shadowfall is what a launch title looks like, then I can't wait to see what the PS4's equivalent to Metal Gear Solid 3 or God of War 2 looks like.

I you call Soul Caliber 2 on DC to Syphon Filter 2 on PS1 a "minimal jump". That's insane. The OP is right.

Did you even read my post?

You're nitpicking examples that fit your agenda.

I don't have an "agenda" lol. You said "launch titles are ALWAYS a minimal jump", which is absolutely false. Every generation up until now has been a massive jump and I used just one of many examples to back that up. SM3 to SMW is a massive jump. ALTTP to SM64 is a massive jump. Madden 99 on PS1 to NFL 2K for Dreamcast is a massive jump.

This is the first generation without that.
