I wasn't talking about the best looking games on a given system, those naturally come later once devs learn to maximise the technology, I was referring to the leap forward that usually comes at the start of a generation, where new hardware enables new levels of graphics never seen before. This was much less of a thing with the last generation transition, I agree, the first 9th gen game to really wow me was Hellblade II. As for Switch, later games like Metroid Prime Remastered and Luigi's Mansion 3 look better than anything in its first two years. And I never said PS4 wasn't a significant leap over PS3; it clearly was, it's just that the leap from Xbox/PS2 to PS3/360 was bigger in my eyes.
The Order was very impressive visually and one of the 8th gen games that impressed me the most, I just found Gears in 2006 or Bioshock/Uncharted/COD4 in 2007 to be an even bigger jump. |
I understand what you are saying, just saying age really does play a factor for me anyway, as you get older, games just don't take over your mind like they did as a kid, or teen. Same with graphics, even though we reached cgi graphics with ps4, and differently a big jump then say dreamcast to ps2 but I was blown away by resident evil 4, gt3, and mgs2 despite not being generational jump so for me anyway there is alot of factors to judging graphics jump.
