There's still quite a bit more that can be done but I think we've reached a point where the quality of the graphics is dependent on how expensive the game was to make.
I actually think that KI2 has some fantastic graphics, it's just the resolution that's crappy... I mean we're used to looking at 1080P quality displays on our phones... now I have a 25" screen about a foot from my face that's running at 240P
the pixels... oh god the pixels. If they re-released the game with HD sprites and textures, I think it would hold up very well graphically.
I think real breakthroughs in graphics in the future will come from new technologies that will make it easier/cheaper to make high quality graphics... I mean this generation it was all about the Unreal game engine... Most good looking games ran on that engine because it make it easy to make good looking games. Other games that ran on different engines or custom built engines just didn't look as good.
Next generation we'll see Unreal 4 engine based games. The real break throughs in graphics will come from new game engines, as well as other new development technologies, more-so than the end user hardware itself.
