I know it's a tired statement that people have been repeating for half a decade now, but the fact of the matter is that in 5 years time, Battlefield 3 will probably not be looking all that great when compared next to whatever game is using top range graphical power, but games like Okami, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and Journey will still look as great, and even better if they get HD-rereleases like so many PS2 era games have had.
