I think, as a few others have suggested, that a lot of the answer in the perceived high standards of FPS right now is that the genre is oversaturated and none of them are doing much to stand out from one another. On the contrary, in my opinion they're often becoming more similar to one another. Depending on the game series/title, sometimes I see that as a step forward, while at other times it's just the opposite. I also agree that Titanfall had/has one of the freshest feels for a FPS game in this generation of consoles.
