A Visual Reminder Of How Far Xbox 360 Games Have Come In Eight Years

I was reading today about how Ryse is going to be native 900p, and upconverted to 1080p by Microsoft MSFT +1.17%‘s Xbox One, and there was a subsequent predictable train of people decrying the system’s power and lamenting that the next generation of games “isn’t even 1080p.”
I think we’re going to see a lot of stories like this at the beginning of this new console generation, as not every game will look amazing and it won’t seem like we’re making that much of a leap forward in terms of graphical fidelity.
But everyone needs to keep in mind that this is how this always works. It takes years and years for the true power of a console to be tapped, and there’s no better example than the last console generation. Nostalgia tinted glasses will have us forget how launch titles used to look for the 360 or PS3, and over time, the visuals in these games have risen incrementally to become drastically better. You  may not notice the subtle shifts over time, but if you compare 2005 titles with those launched recently, it’s rather stunning.
I pulled a few screenshots I thought demonstrate this well. First, you’ll take a look at some 2005 launch titles for the Xbox 360, and then you can compare them with more recent games which looks way better as technology has evolved and developers have been able to draw more power out of the system. The point is, this will happen with the PS4 and One as well, and we shouldn’t forget that if every launch title isn’t blowing our socks off with its visuals. And if they do? Just imagine how games will look five, six, eight years from now.
Here we go. If this is popular, I may do a refresher course for the PS3 as well.
