Some games can have both awesome graphics and gameplay, like Infamous: Second Son and Driveclub.

I enjoyed Infamous, I even got a platinum for it (KonnichiwaBE on PSn) but after finishing it I felt a bit dissapointed because it was short and the side missions were a joke. People were hyped and excited for it especially with all those screenshots with amazing graphics but I wish they had more content in the game. If you want more content I have to buy First light :s.
Driveclub was a good example of what I meant, people were more excited for the game because of the gifs rather than what was in the game...

You mean people that don't like track based racers were still excited by the generational leap in graphics?
The game itself is great fun, I must be close to 50 hours played by now. The 25 unique tracks are such a joy to race on, making clean runs with hyper cars is exhilirating. Yet if you don't like skill based track racing the game is not for you.
It's also the lighting that keeps the game fresh. I'm still seeing unique atmospheric conditions. It has the best night driving I have seen so far. Realistic looking road reflectors and signs, road paint, headlights reflecting in mirrors, and secondary lighting from your headlights illuminating the cars in front of you, set it apart from last gen. Plus the amount of light sources on screen is staggering.
Would it have kept me glued to the screen for 50 hours with pre-baked lighting, always the same (perfect) looking tracks? Maybe, probably not. Driving into the night in endurace races or while the sun comes up, or with heavy cloud cover with the sun peaking through now and then keeps me wondering what I'll see in the next lap. And constantly having to adjust to find the perfect braking point and apex in the different lighting conditions.
Maybe they should have delayed Infamous to add a 3rd part? It was fine for me, not too long to play again for the bad karma path. Better left wanting more than dragging on with lots of filler missions. I did kinda expect a 3rd act too, yet still spend 20 hours on it. Not bad value. Will buy the next one.

No, I am talking about people who were saying that the game will be great/amazing/one of the best games of this year based on a GIF with one car passing by an other car with very great graphics.... I asked one of them 'what is the appeal of the game?' and I got no answer, but I know I can ask you and you can tell me why.
I rather have devs/PR trying to answer the question 'what is the appeal of the game and why gamers should be interested for it' than saying 'It has graphics that you not have seen before' The guys from Saints Row II did a good job with their 'would you rather' trailer..
And your comment against D21lewis is excactly what I mean with 'consoles catching up with pc'... I also love that I can take screenshots with my PS4, and VS for PS4 looks very interesting but that is something you can do on PC for a (long) time and it does not help I am so interested in games like DaYZ and planetside 2 while I could play them on a PC...
