Pachter was right about PS4 graphics

Pachter was... right?
In all seriousness though, it's not as big as a visual leap. I'm sure that the games are going to be amazing, especially when you see them in person, but that huge wow factor of PS2 to PS3 is gone, and likely won't ever be back.

No. Watch_Dogs & Deep Down looked decidedly next generation.
Also, wait until E3 when we'll see Star Wars 1313, PS4 Final Fantasy, Last Guardian, Dark Souls 2, and whatever else they've got.

Even watching the Giantbomb shit quality stream this morning you could tell it was next gen.
Get some health cover and visit an optometrist people!
And we're done here.
Killzone blew me away, as did Deep Down. Next gen is here, and for launch titles they look solid.
Hell, even Destiny was looking good. Sure it doesn't stand up to Killzone, but considering the size and scope of the game I though it looked great.
Those textures and the LOD were far better quality than in any current console game.
the only game shown that your PS3 probably can't play is KZ

I was definitely not as impressed as I was by the trailers before current gen.
But that's the least we can expect, right?
Yeah, i think diminished returns are definitely here. Not surprising either. Games are pretty right now, so making them a little prettier isn't going to necessarily blow people away. By the end of this gen the games will be more impressive, of course, but this next generation of graphics aren't going to have the same wow factor.
That's why everybody is trying to push other aspects.. Social gaming, off-screen play, media-hub capabilities, apps, downloadable games, streaming games, etc..

240fps is possible.

Need I remind you what we saw during the PS3 reveal.
Also, Deep Down looked AMAZING.

might wanna get your eyes checked

Compare Deep Down to Dark Souls or Skyrim on consoles... the difference is much more massive than I could have anticipated.
Killzone4 looks like old code if you had to ask me. With the megaton announcement of 8GB of RAM, I think GG is going to go to town on its next-gen engine by the time E3 rolls around.
The bottom line is GG is top three best in the biz at producing dumbfounding graphics, much better than Capcom and therefore will further melt our eyes with each new media blowout like always.

Looking at the scope/size of the city I could agree but not once your in 'full control' of your character, I just wasn't that impressed, this doesn't feel like the jump we had in past generations tbh.
What PS3 game does anything _substantially_ close to the cityscape in KZ4?
I'm not a fan of KZ but seeing that future cityscape rendered so immaculately in realtime got me real excited for a next gen Mass Effect or the like...
Not sure if serious, looked substantially better than current consoles.

Yeah....no.
I'm happy.
Please be an indication of graphics for next gen Skyrim. Pleaaase!
I was pretty fucking impressed. Graphics don't sell me on a console, but it looked hellagud.
I'm worried about dev times though... I'm also worried about how this "hyper"realism will translate into Gameplay. That dragon, for instance, cannot act like a dragon in a film while you fight it. It will stand around stupidly while you swing and it it unless they really think through how gameplay works. This is where it will get interesting - how they balance such visual realism with gameplay.
I suspect it will look better.

I wasn't blown away by the graphics, but I wasn't disappointed either. They were exactly what I expected. I was just hoping I'd see games that I could actually get excited for, and I didn't see anything like that.

Also, Agni's Philosophy was running on the PS4 in real time. Don't know how anyone could think that isn't next gen.

Launch games. The only way is up... unless Sony decide to resurrect Haze.
So were the Wii U titles, but it didn't stop the hate from pouring in.
Wii U graphics will get better, PS4 graphics will get better, Durango graphics will get better.

Kills one and the Dragon Dogmas 2 demos looked excellent leap. In 5 years from now, we'll all laugh at how impressed we were when the 4th and 5th gen titles start rolling out.
The killzone demo was a real demo being played on stage.

Graphics aren't the only thing that matter. Physics, amount of stuff the system can render, and so on...
Ingame.

It was gameplay from what I could tell. Someone was controlling it.

I love how with Killzone, the same people that laughed at the suggestion that they matched or came close to the target renders are dismissive of the PS4 game despite looking much, much better than the 2005 target render video. Gotta love the console warz!

I couldn't disagree more. These games blow away current gen, it's a huge leap. Just look at Deep Down and Killzone... and Infamous... and Watch Dogs... and Driveclub. Nothing on current gen looks comparable, and these are first-gen games.

I saw dynamic water, Realtime hair, and SSS skin technology.
Major improvement

I think it's quite an upgrade in the details. But sure, there are diminishing returns. It's like those people who couldn't tell difference between DVD and Blu-ray. To some it's a big huge deal, and to others they can barely tell the difference.
Look at Capcom's graphics engine this gen compared to Bethseda's for your answer.

Because they looked/performed worse than current gen games in most cases.

Just for perspective. Killzone 3, the best looking FPS on consoles this gen, looks like this...
lol, i'm more than impressed.
KZ3 has much better moments, but this image is comparable to the one from the new game. Suddenly, it doesn't look so great anymore.
