"If you take the graphics of current gen games like, say, Uncharted and Mass Effect and compare them with the best looking previous gen games like Resident Evil 4, you'll realize what a drastic jump the visuals department has taken over the years. It may not have been apparent as time went by, but now that you look back at it, you realize just how much graphics in games have improved. And while many of us believe that next-gen games won't look significantly, we think that as time goes by, we'll realize that, yet again, games have taken a huge leap as a visual medium. Below we have two images that show how big the jump between current gen games and next gen games could be, in terms of visuals. It's all hypothetical, of course, but you should still have a look at it."
Depends mostly on what price point Sony/MS want to release at and also at what time. The longer the way the cheaper better hardware will be.
I hope not. Costs are insane enough as it is
It really needs to be atleast close to that in order to impress, honestly. I don't want just a smoother looking version of PS3/360 games.
But at the same time with dev. costs are already a fortune, is it even plausible to make games that look like that?
I would say more likely to see this type of stuff on PC way before any console comes to these standards.
Battlefield 3, GTA4 (modded), and The Witcher 2 as examples of just the beginning of the next gen.
I believe that this upcoming next gen is gonna be more about innovation then graphical power of the consoles.
How about we just get games that are more fun? Seems like better graphics lead to shorter games with uninteresting plots.
