I've been thinking a lot lately about how every console generation had it's own "Ah Ha!" moment where everyone got what the new system(s) was about or a certain game that blew everyone away. While I've certainly enjoyed my PS4 a lot, I'm still waiting for that one game to blow me away.
Infamous Second Son is a damn pretty game, but doesn't really do anything all that innovative with its gameplay and the story was just okay for me.
I think the exact same thing could be said for Ryse and a number of other "launch window" exclusives for each system. While fun in their own rights, I think Watch Dogs and Destiny have both failed to deliver on the hype. I bought and enjoyed both thoroughly, but again didn't really blow me away.
So here's my question, GAF: What game do you think will be Gen 8's Ah Ha moment? What game will really show us what these new consoles can really do that wouldn't be close to possible on last gen?
I've personally got high expectations for Arkham Knight, Witcher III and Uncharted 4.
