Have you stopped and smelled the roses we've been finally given by this gen?
Over in that new Witcher 3 thread, I was again pleasantly surprised by all that foliage.
One element that has been significantly and rapidly improved as we transitioned to this generation is foliage. I first felt that Black Flag's current gen port did a noticeably great job covering the ground in grass that didn't look like obvious flat textures sticking up. This has continued to be the trend, Watch Dogs with its usual great potential but poorly executed windy trees, with GTA V getting significant foliage on PS4 and PC, and Dragon Age Inquisition having hills and trees rustling in the wind around you.
It's made a massive difference (in addition to the odd sudden appearance of great floor surface shine and metallic shine on AC Unity's gilded palaces, along with armor pieces in The Order and Inquisition).
So I have to say, I didn't expect so much grass and lush forestry to join the landscape in the jump between last gen to current gen, but I'm am very pleasantly surprised.
