When did you first notice that grafix had diminishing returns?

PS3/360 do indeed look technically dated now, but I still haven't seen anything on PS4 that leaves PS3's best quite as far behind as later PS3 games did to anything on the PS2. 

When I look at something like Metro Exodus maxed out and raytraced on PC, now THAT looks like a proper generational leap over PS3/360 to the extent of prior leaps, in my eyes anyway.

You have crazy high unrealistic  expectations. That PC is like a 100x jump compared to ps3. I don't how you can look most ps4 games in not see a generational leap in graphics. Remember not being blown away is understandable as we get older it's get harder to be impressed, but looking at most Big ps4 sequels from developers, and sony the generational leap is clear as day.

I'm not talking about a leap in terms of quantifiable computing power, I'm talking about the subjective perceptual effect of diminishing returns.

To me the gap between gen 7 and 8 just isn't as impressive as past generation gaps.
