It's Claire from Resident Evil! It's... a basketball player!" Then a security guard walked up. "I only recognize one of those…

Back when the PS4 and Xbox One were announced, "next-gen" meant a lot of things to a lot of people. Smarter games, bigger games, different games, more ways to play with your friends. But it also meant that games would look a whole lot better.
