For me I think it's less a matter of "things can't look much better" and more "things already look so good". I started gaming with Starfox on the SNES so the amount of progress graphics have made just in my 26 years as a gamer is frankly mind-blowing.
It's not that the step up from PS3/360 to PS4/Xbone wasn't noticeable or even substantial, it's just that when your starting point is stuff that already looked as good as God of War Ascension or Halo 4 the jump didn't seem as big to me.
I'm curious whether the same will apply again this time, or whether PS5/XSX will manage to give me that feeling I got the first time I saw Rogue Squadron II or Gears of War.
