Man, it was really cool growing up with the evolution of graphics. Went from N64 to PS1, Xbox, and all the way through today. Every step of the way was awesome
I completely agree. I think the 360 era was the last time it felt like there was a huge jump in graphics. Everything since then seems to just be a slow drip of improvements.
I’m not saying thing aren’t amazing these days, but ps4 vs ps5 isn’t as different as ps1 to ps2 was.
I play games since the 8-bit era.
The last time I was amazed by graphics was when playing GTA V on my PS3 around 10 years ago.
It felt like a next gen game on a last gen console (because it was).
Everything since then has only seen gradual change it seems.
I played ever since the Atari days. The biggest jumps were Atari to super Nintendo, SNES to ps1, ps1 to 1080p, 1080 p to 4k, all very noticeable and next-gen graphics jumps from one to the next
