First game that feels next gen? In rough order of release/expected release:










Next gen meaning a clear generational step, not just a small increment over the last generation, but Ill leave how to define that up to you!

Its a silly question of course but it got posed on the Beastcast and I dont think theres a clear consensus as to this. Lets see!

Yep. The new generation isn't real until we get a new Final Fantasy.

The closest thing feels like Halo Infinite but that's so far off I can't count that.

I'm going with Astro's Playroom, 'cause that thing sure did make the controller feel great to use.

Astros Playroom is a good one. Shows off the controller really well while also being fairly fun.

I feel like this statement literally only applies to the PS2, and even that is debatable as Gran Turismo 3, DMC, GTA3, and MGS2 were all already out.

Hellblade II's trailer was definitely my first moment of feeling like the new gen was justified

Astro's Playroom, for reasons already stated, plus it's actually exclusive to next-gen consoles and wasn't released alongside a downgraded version for PS4.

That game is still gonna be on last gen, so no way.

The thing that matters to me most this generational leap is fast/near instant load times and smooth 60 FPS, so as far as I'm concerned we're already there with Demon's Souls.

However, if I had to take a wild stab in the dark at which game will visually look like it couldn't have even run on last gen consoles...I predict it will likely end up being God of War Ragnarok. Could theoretically end up being Hellblade, if the trailer we saw was legit gameplay.

Astro's Playroom and Demon's Souls are clear technological leaps that each show off what a next-gen system is capable of, Astro with the controller functionality and Demon's Souls graphically.

The Medium is a good answer too as it shows why SSDs will be necessary this gen.

i still don't even know what ps4/bone gen is like

well, my brother got a One but it hasn't been played since launch and I can't for the life of me remember if he had any games for it... I think just Halo 5? but I don't even remember

scanning through my Steam account I think everything I've bought has been at most cross-gen PS360, sans indies and VR

I think it's Microsoft Flight Simulator, its graphical fidelity can make a still image look like real life and its AI-generated real-world data feels like it's truly blurring the lines between game & real-life.

I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back.

I primarily play on PC so my concept of generations has almost completely eroded, but The Medium struck me as something that last gen almost certainly wouldn't be able to handle. It doesn't necessarily have the most amazing graphics but the dual rendering alone, never mind ray tracing, definitely came across as something that wouldn't have been possible without current hardware.

I went with Ratchet and Clank. I think icon makes a very good point, we have next gen mechanics with Astro and next gen visuals with Demon's Souls, but nothing has brought them together yet - it looks like Ratchet is the first game that will take advantage of both.

I wonder how a topic series which asked this question for previous generations would go. I might do that, the only thing holding me back is that I have no idea what to do with the Dreamcast!
