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!

That was more human error than a hardware issue, though. Resistance, while a decent enough looking game for its time, just wasn't the knockout punch they needed. In fact, until Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, in my eyes, Gears held that crown. Outside of Fight Night Round 3 and Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis, nothing had quite "wowed" me like Gears. 

That said, I'll tell you what the problem is. In the past, new games had that "hook", to immediately remind you that you were indeed in the next generation. Games like Fight Night and Oblivion were early testaments of what last gen was capable of, but for some reason, to many, Ryse and Killzone: Shadowfall just didn't quite cut it. But, y'all will see. Next gen launch games will bring back that "wow, THIS is next gen". Hold me to it!

I'll hold you to it.

I love the results we have this and even last gen, but is natural to be expecting for the next big jump.

And LoD2 still doesn't exist =p

It does.

That will be the highest jump between sequel since ever, perhaps only Battletoads could be over it.
