I'm old and hold the opposite opinion. Those first few generational leaps were amazing. But I feel like we've long reached the point that almost any experience can be conveyed with impact.

I enjoy the new bells and whistles. But these incremental upgrades come coupled with skyrocketing costs, longer development times, and fewer risks. Indie gaming is still innovating of course, but I miss when AAA studios were churning out risky, unique titles.

Same. The PS3/360 era was the last one where graphics wowed me. The 2 gens since have been incremental graphically.
