I would say it is the opposite, many are just PS3 games ported to PS4. Some of my favorite Japanese RPG this gen are PS3 ports (Persona 5, Yakuza 0, Tales of Berseria, Utawarerumono series)

This gen is just last gen but better.

Rocksteady stated they were not able to fit the Batmobile alone (forget the whole game) within the PS3's memory and you think Horizon Zero Dawn would have been feasible on PS3's tech. Come on now. You don't seem to understand how Memory Management seems to work in game development. 🤨😐
Respectfully disagree. I believe 7th gen was so great and doesn't get the credit it deserves. So much creativity and amazing new ips. The extended length of the gen only gave us better from devs and not them complaining about not having enough.
VR was the real paradigm shift made possible by this gen. Next gen will be incredible for VR, baby!
Switch is a dedicated handheld. It has a screen, battery, and can be played portable. There is even a portable only version.
On topic, the graphical jump from 4 to 5 will feel even less significant than 3 to 4.
OP's Mass Effect Andromeda picture has to be one of the only flattering shots of that game I've seen, and I upgraded my PC for that game. :(
The environments and effects are good, but SO MANY of the faces are just garbage. PeeBee, Turians, and Salarians looked good, but the vast majority of human-like characters just looked bad. And I'm pretty sure PeeBee is the only unique Asari face in the game, all the others use the same face model and they just tweak the skin color and face marking locations (there's a cutscenes where 3-4 if them are walking together and it makes it super obvious). 1
ME1-3 hold up for me since they were last-gen games, but Andromeda (even having higher poly models and higher res) looks worse overall to me considering it was made this gen compared to other games (even DA:I had better done faces, even if they were a little less detailed in some cases).
Maybe if games didn't take so many more resources and more time to make this gen I'd feel better about a few games being bad.
But we only got one Dragon Age (cross gen) and one Mass Effect this gen and only one was any good.
Only one new Halo and one remaster/collection (didn't like 5 much either).
Only one Ratchet and Clank and it was a remake (a good one thankfully).
There hasn't been a single arcade racing game I've enjoyed nearly as much as Burnout from last gen (not a Forza/Forza Horizon fan).
Not saying there haven't been a decent amount of great games this gen because there absolutely have. Horizon ZD, God of War, Rare Replay, a lot of Switch games, etc. And indies have really stepped up more too, there have been a LOT of indie games I've loved, like The Witness and more recently Outer Wilds.

I much prefer this generation to last generation...
But, we did lack a huge RPG epic like Skyrim or Mass Effect this generation. So that's a huge bummer...

I think that this generation was a lot about refining things that worked the previous. Personally, and I obviously don't dislike refinement, I'd rather have something brand new and fresh. I'd rather play MAG and Puppeteer back to back more so than Infamous and God of War.
The 360/PS3 gen is easily the worst
generation I've ever lived through. Maybe things are too similar if you're mindset isn't back in the 360 era. Maybe you don't like indie games or Japanese games. If you don't then I wouldn't see such a big change either.
And don't get me wrong, I liked last gen because it had some really good shit like Mass Effect, Uncharted and Dead Space, but the generation as a whole is still at the bottom.
Honestly, if you simplify it the same could be said about the PS2/XBOX to PS3/360 transition. Outside of open worlds it's more or less the same, just more refined and prettier looking.

Idk. The Switch is about equal to the Wii and Wii U in terms of games for me. The PS4 overall has better games than the PS3 but still no real follow up to the Mass Effect trilogy. I would say this gen overall is different, not necessarily better or worse.
VR exists as another medium than traditional gaming though. i don´t see it as some paradigm shift or evolution of gaming but more as a different way of gaming.
Last gen was great but performance was awful.
So many games were you had to suffer headache inducing framerates

I mean, still got a lot of great Japanese games that are not on PS3: Bloodborne, Sekiro, Nioh, Monster Hunter World, Dragon Quest XI, Nier Automata, Resident Evil 2, YS VIII, FFVII Remake, Devil May Cry V, etc.
Lmao, I thought about that as soon as I left this thread and forgot to update. But yea you are right! Why does it feel so long ago...
Well it did come out really early on. Only the first half of 2015.
I personally had a lot more fun across last gen than I did this one.
Edit: But there were still, of course, great experiences to be had this gen. But as a whole, last gen won out for me. Though my opinion could change with some of the last remaining big titles still to be released.

Isn't that pretty much always the case outside of Nintendo? And don't a lot of people want Nintendo to just do that too?
I mean, Nintendo really struck it with the whole hybrid system thing this gen, but in general, their change for change's sake doesn't always work out so well for them.

This really good video poped in the Youtube recommendations:
A lot of stuff are just as big now as they were and lot of predictions were correct.
No one saw the Battle Royale genre coming though.
In regards to graphics, naa, the leap is there. I can't look at games without ambient occlusion now

Graphic Fidelity I Expect Next Gen.
With games like Resident Evil 3 / Death Stranding etc on 1.8 TFLOP machines, I expect much more from 10 and 12 TFLOP RDNA2 machines :) Edit: This is from -
