I played 360

I played demos of Need for Speed (I don't keep up with all the names lately) and Quake 4.
And the guy had a very nice TV. It just didn't feel new enough to be next gen. The leaps are getting smaller and smaller with every gen.

the 'leaps' arent really getting smaller, they're just being used in more areas.

the addition of real textures from PS1/N64 to PS2/GC seemed like a lot more becuause of how bad the ps1/n64 looked. the leap is still there, and can be seen if you know what to look for. but good graphics to great graphics doesnt seem like as big of a thing as bad graphics to good graphics.

I don't care about the technology behind it or whatever, I care about looks.

well because you personally cant tell a difference doesnt mean the leap isnt there.

i didnt mean just the technology behind it has changed without producing any drastic results...
many people look for more realistic looking charcaters or worlds. and while it can be noticed on that, especially with a HDTV, the difference is just everywhere, Bigger worlds, more detailed worlds, phisics, many many more things on screen at once, with much better AI and better lighting effects. i can tell a differerence right away, especially in gameplay videos.
But many dont know what to look for and dont think about all the power thoes things take and add to the games look.


maybe its the same as people who say they cant hear a difference between normal quality and high quality Audio. i dunno, but i think its quite obvious to me at least the leap is there, and in many cases a bigger leap then before.
