PS4 level graphics are okay honestly. I look at the ps5 graphics and generally my untrained eye can only see a higher resolution/sharper image. The graphics themselves look pretty much the same 🤔

Look at The Last of Us Remastered on PS4 and The Last of Us Part I, the remake on PS5. Absolutely massive difference.

Also Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered on PS5 is a pretty big difference.

PS4 games can and do look good, but there is definitely difference that's quite easy to notice.

A few games like The Last of Us Part II and Red Dead Redemption 2 do still look better than a good ammount of PS5 games, Uncharted 4 is also an older game that still looks incredible, but that's definitely not the average looking PS4 game.

When you go back from PS5 to PS4 you can easily notice it, I did when I finished Ghost of Yotei and went back to Ghost of Tsushima DLC and Legends, or when I started Death Stranding 2 right after finishing 1. It's immediatly noticable.

I always thought the gap was way bigger than people give it credit for.  I go back here and there to ps4 games, and they never look as good as I remember.  Demon remastered versus dark 3 is night/day. 

It has been like that since the PS4 came around.

The jumps were so big from PS1 to PS2 and from PS2 to PS3 that when the PS4 came around people started this "not so much better" thing, when the difference was still big and very easy to notice.

As time goes on it's definitely getting less noticeable, diminishing returns are real afterall, but that's only when you are only thinking about it, things always look better on our memories, specially things we liked, the value we give them mess up our own perception of it a bit.

When you are jumping between them, yeah, very easy to notice the differences.

Your TLoU comparison is really unfair, because you're essentially comparing a slighly improved top-tier PS3 game to a remake of the same game at a time when the developers were, or should've been, very familiar with the new hardware. Of course it's going to be a massive difference.

Not going to argue against your other examples though. Based on what I've seen and heard, it seems that the difference might not look huge in screenshots, but it can look quite substantial in action.

Actually so far the only major PS5 title I've played (on PS5) is Ghost of Yotei, and I don't think it looked all that impressive compared to Ghost of Tsushima. The main wow factor were all the postcard views in the game - just wow - but I think that's more of a design thing than a power thing. The difference might've been greater had I played GoT more recently, but I didn't. I guess there's one wow factor though: 60 FPS. Apparently quality mode does nothing in 1080p - the resolution of my TV - and ray tracing didn't add enough to be worth it, so 60 FPS it was, and that was absolutely awesome. Such a joy to play such a beautiful game at 60 FPS.

Yes but in terms of PS5/XBX for next gen.

Focus on dev times to improve the game and performance rather than visuals.

Games already can run at 4K - dont need to make them go beyond that especially since the market isnt big enough for anything beyond 4K.
