Presonally, graphics are going to improve rather you like it or not, the real question is, will the gaming industry get better next gen?

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen. By: Suke |

That monolith soft x! I don't think graphics are going to get better. I think color is going to get better. No more brown games hooray!
Every new gen the gap gets smaller. For certain we'll have much better IQ this gen because of 1080p, new implementations of anti-aliasing and, I hope, the use of anisotropic filtering, but otherwise I wasn't impressed, the games that were shown till now seemed on par with current PC games IMO.

It does? That's news to me.

Really? Oh well. At least you know it now.
Pikmin 3 is way better than Pikmin 2.

See I was hoping you could back that opinion up since, you know, you state it as a fact.

The main reason the 8th gen doesn't seem like such a huge leap is the law of diminishing returns.
RAM and such may increase drastically, but as graphics become more complex, the differences become less, until you need 10x the power just to look x2 as good.
Then there's the lack of a major change in the way graphics are done this time around; the 5th gen leap saw the upgrade from 2D sprites to 3D polygons, the 6th gen saw the leap from crude 3D shapes to more complex ones, the 7th gen saw the upgrade from SD to HD, and the 8th gen... well, it's simply more of the same, just with more detail. There's no paradigm shift in graphics this time. (With the exception of Wii to Wii U, which benefits from SD to HD and fixed function shaders to programmable ones)
This is why, graphically at least, the 8th gen upgrade is less noticeable and impressive than previous generational upgrades, at least with PS4 and Xbone. It's still a noticeable upgrade, but if you were expecting a PS2-to-PS3 shift, I can see why you'd be underwhelmed.

Yup. I think particle effects, simulation and lighting will be what makes the difference very visible.
Even with a graphically dated title LIke Winwaker, the inclusion of soft bloom makes a world of difference.
