Ermm thats how things are discussed howard no need to be butt hurt about it!

And yeah there is a massive difference.
Yes a big part of that is the resolution but that is still a part of the equation of modern graphics.

But as you said before things are slowing down.
As well as there being technical reasons for that we need to think about what more can be done that we will notice.

If you watch a modern tv program with a real man you can see the individual hairs of his stubbly beard.
Do we really need to up graphical capabilities that much more?

Which was kind of what I was driving at with my original post.

If we only gauged what is real with just our eyes (ignore other senses) I think we could easily be fooled.

Infact its been proven several times that we can be easily fooled by modern displays!

Oh, definitely. I had a psychosomatic response while racing go-karts in Project CARS in VR. I had the weather set to rain and started feeling raindrops hitting my arm. It's freaky how much VR can trick the senses.

I sort of agree with Howard when it comes to human beings but I do HOPE we break that uncanny valley during our lifetime. Will require different computing specs I guess

Where I started to see the stagnation was the generation after the PS2. The jump from n64/ps1/Saturn and the next gen (PS2/Dreamcast/Xbox/voodoo pc) was huge. I mean There’s a huge difference between madden psx and madden PS2, totally blew me away. Since then it seems definitely incremental

Edit: previous version read totally wrong, like the poster took one pain pill too many

pbj:
Yeah, I used to think the same. When ps4 came out, you kept seeing comparison photos everywhere of the ps3 vs ps4 versions of the same game. And in still pictures, it frequently looked like a small difference. Actually play them, though, and it’s no comparison. Even within the same console there’s a huge evolution in graphics over the years. Compare Super Mario Bros to Little Samson. Kameo versus Halo 3.

This is true.

The devs work out extra little tricks and ways to use the hardware they have available.

But even in stills there are noticeable differences.

Resolution and lighting play a massive part in it really.
