The problem was that people were comparing the best-looking late-gen PS3 games to early-gen PS4 games, so it's no wonder the difference wasn't huge. If you did the same with PS2 and PS3, the difference wouldn't suddenly look that huge anymore. Obviously the difference between PS2 and PS3 is bigger than that between PS3 and PS4, but it does put things into perspective a bit.

Anyway, I haven't seen the issue too much lately, as common as it used to be.

I think the PS3's improvement over the PS2 was immediately noticeable. The problem the PS3 had was that people were expecting it to dwarf the Xbox 360 the way the PS2 did to the Dreamcast. When people saw Gears of War 1 up against Resistance Fall of Man, it left a bad taste in their mouths. A game as beautiful as Heavenly Sword couldn't be downplayed!

To be fair... By the time the Playstation 3 came along, games were already pushed up a notch in the visual department thanks to the Xbox 360 being on the market earlier, so developers were already transitioning.
