As always it comes down to how well developers implement such technology into games. There were some decent effects in there but does it address some of the most important limitations we see in games? Have they improved lip-syncing? Is AI able to anything more than simply running back and forth? Will enemies bleed out in a realistic way when you shoot or kill them? When characters reload or change weapon will the clips and weapons still appear out of nowhere? Are character animations still canned or responsive to items on the ground; can an impact knock the player off balance without being a canned sequence? Can a character put on or take off an item of clothing like a shirt? If you look down at your feet will you still spin on the spot when you turn? It's great that environments and characters look better but it seems that some significant aspects of game / engine design are being left behind, forgotten.
