I completely agree. I think the 360 era was the last time it felt like there was a huge jump in graphics. Everything since then seems to just be a slow drip of improvements.

I’m not saying thing aren’t amazing these days, but ps4 vs ps5 isn’t as different as ps1 to ps2 was.

I play games since the 8-bit era.

The last time I was amazed by graphics was when playing GTA V on my PS3 around 10 years ago.

It felt like a next gen game on a last gen console (because it was).

Everything since then has only seen gradual change it seems.

Strange how perception works. The last time I was really amazed by graphics was with Unreal. I could admire the castle in the intro for hours.

The Doom 3 alpha was astonishing as well. But by the time it was released it felt like just another gradual advancement among all the other games.

Maybe it's a console vs PC thing where console players would get and incredible leap with each generation whereas PC players saw all the steps to reach the next generation.
