Thanks for proving my point, you showed a 13 year difference range.

The difference isn't that big, and that's just one game.

GTA VI isn't even out yet, nor we have seen real time gameplay.

Not mention, decades of work and hundreds of millions thrown into it.

2 years worth of time back then created bigger jumps than decades worth of time today.

There's a reason many don't even consider the PS5 that big of a jump, over the PS4.

Diminishing returns

In fact, many PS5 games ARE PS4 games with the settings turned a little higher.
I don't think anyone is denying diminishing returns is real, nor that modern generational jumps could be compared with previous jumps.

But RT has been this gen's improvement and it does make a big difference. We shouldn't be using Rockstar or Naughty Dog as examples because those aren't realistic representations of what was possible to achieve last gen by regular developers, take 90% of previous gen games lighting and compare it with modern solutions. We have Indie games looking photorealistic now, when has that ever been the case in the rasterization days?

A very good Path Tracing implementation against a regular last gen game is just as real, true generational leap. Technically speaking, probably greater than some of the past.

Also, last gen games, the better looking ones, all ran at 30fps. This gen they tried to do both RT and 60fps.
