I'm indifferent. When it comes to the games released so far, the current gen fails to impress mostly. The reason why is that most of the games are built for last gen hardware, upscaled to a higher resolution and playable on current gen hardware.
Graphically though there are some games this gen that give a similar jump to what we see at the beginning of every other gen. Infamous Second Son as an open world game blows away even the best looking game of last gen, as does Witcher 3, and Dead Rising 3.
Like what was compared earlier. Compare Black to an early exclusive FPS on the 360. Now compare Killzone Shadow Fall to any late released 360 exclusive. The difference in quality will be just as noticeable as last gen to current gen. Every game being 4:3 going to 16:9 is one reason the jump in quality is so similar, because going from SD to HD last gen had to actually work a bit harder than this gen because all games have to use that extra power to display in widescreen as well. The current gen also has the problem that the better the graphics, the less quality increase you'll notice, and even then the jump in quality is still noticeable.
Another set of games you could compare is the Elder Scrolls games and Witcher 3. Morrowind and Oblivion launched less than a year after the launch of Xbox and Xbox 360. The Witcher 3 is launching in a year and a couple months. The graphical jump between Witcher 3 and Oblivion is much larger than the graphical jump between Morrowind and Oblivion.
Despite what some people like to say. The graphical jump is just as noticeable this gen as it was last gen. You can't expect new consoles to push out graphics like they've been on the market for eight years when they just launched. Developers figure out new ways to implement graphics techniques and new tech is rolled out every year. At the end of this gen, gamers will look back on games like Infamous Second Son and Witcher 3 and make comments about how they look like crap compared to what came out later, just like we did with games last gen.
It's not off to a good start, but atleast the jump for some games have been similar to what we see ever other gen.
