PS4's first 2 years were like a desert for me, I jumped in during a Black Friday sale in 2014 but the first games I was really interested in were Type 0, MGS5, and Witcher 3.
I couldn't even name anything from the PS4 launch library, I think there was a Killzone or something. 2013 and 14 were probably my least favorite years in gaming since the crash.
Killzone Shadowfall, yeah.
...It wasn't that good. I got my launch PS4 with that, Injustice (port of a last-gen game, yaaay), and Call Of Duty Ghosts (sucked), IIRC. It wasn't very long before I was back on the PS3 playing Call of Duty Black Ops II and Street Fighter IV instead. Spent most of 2014 and 2015 still playing mostly PS3 games, too. It kind of doesn't feel like this gen really got going until that time, so it doesn't feel like it's been that long.
I jumped in PS4 a few months after launch with Ground Zeros, Shadow of Mordor and PT demo... I was on cloud 9. Seeing games in actual 1080p, finally using wireless headphones and witnessing the badass nemesis system, I felt the generational leap.
I think this is a retread of a previous thread, but that's another thing- so many games getting PS3/360 releases alongside the PS4/Xbone releases and the only real differences were resolution and framerates. Sure, the games look and run better on the current gen platforms, but you could have just played Ground Zeroes and Shadow Of Mordor on PS3- didn't feel as "next-gen" to me because of it.
My expectations for "next gen leap feeling" is pretty low this time though.. feels like it's plateaued some.
Am guessing support for up to 8K screens and higher refresh rates might be a thing- but most people playing consoles won't have the displays to take advantage of it.
Gotta say, playing PC games in ultra-wide at 144hz is pretty damn awesome and I love to see at least ultra-wide support made available as an option for console games.
