Now that Sony, MS, and a few others have had their 2023 game showcases, this gives us an idea on the power of these consoles considering that they will be turning 3 years old this year.
I have been gaming since the SNES and to me personally, this is the smallest jump yet.
While there are few games that are standouts (mainly from the companies that have the money and the talent), most games don't really seem like they couldn't be ran on the PS4 or Xbox One at medium-high settings rather than high-ultra.
We have Starfield which is a game with a massive scale that certainly wouldn't be possible on last gen, but what else?
This question extends beyond visually, for example when the PS2/Xbox/GC/Dreamcast released it was obvious day 1, that these games could never been pulled off on the previous generation systems.
We're 3 years in and still haven't truly gotten a "this is next gen" moment, outside of a Matrix Tech Demo (not a game) and probably Starfield due to it's scale.
Your thoughts?
