When did you first notice that grafix had diminishing returns?

PS3 of course is more complex system. That doesn't mean ps4 can't see similar gains, which it has, and  it's not some crazy over the top opinion. After all 360 did see similar gains if not more, it wasn't nearly as complex as ps3. Bigger gains will come from rendering techniques and development tools, i think 360,XB1 and ps4 have proven that. So to say ps4 graphical progression can't match ps3 because ps3 was more complex is 100% false.

The 360's hardware was not mature technology when it came out; stuff like unified lighting and shading and a multi-core, multi-threaded CPU were new to the console space. Not so with PS4 and Xbox One; they were based on off-the-shelf parts using nothing cutting edge or exotic, as a result they simply have less room for graphics to grow over time. Last gen you got big jumps on both the software and hardware utilization side. This gen you only get the software advances since the hardware is easy to fully harness from the start.

Unless are a developer you can not make such claims. The more  a developer works on the hardware, the better they will get at using it. No matter how you look at it, even if it's not exotic it's still very complex to make games and fully harness the hardware being worked on. Like i said ps4 gains have been gigantic as ps3. Don't try to pass your opinion up as fact.

I mean Look at this, this is the same developer that made killzone, and the visuals in a massive open world destroy killzone visually.
