The bottom line as I see it is anything can be improved with unlimited resources, both in developers and hardware. Unfortunately no company has the unlimited developers and the PS4 is not as powerful as some want to believe.

So, decisions have to be made, priorities have to be set. The developers priority list may not match my priority list. My priority list may not match your priority list.

As a pretty avid gamer and visitor to more traditional gaming sites I can tell you that almost across the board peoples expectations of how much better the PS4 (and Xbox One) would be have been a little high. I can't count how often I have seen gamers complain about developers being lazy because they can't seem to hit 1080P and 60 fps for every game. Many, many games are sacrificing 60 fps and targeting 30 fps in favor of upgrading the graphics. Even Naughty Dog, the developer of some of the best looking PS games has recently stated that 60fps in Uncharted 4 may not happen. The game The Evil Within actually used letterboxing, supposedly to increase the cinematic quality in the game, but most believe it was to not tax the system.

Ramone mentioned that it took them many years to get the game looking as good as it did on the PS3 and that it would take them years to get the PS4 version as good as it can get. I believe him. I also believe that if you want better AI or uniforms that have more realistic textures or flap in the wind then something else is going to have to be sacrificed because at the end of the day the PS4, while more powerful than the PS3 is still not running top of the line hardware and still has limitations.
(sarcasm)Oh, please, all they'd need to do to get all of the physics and textures we want would just be to have put in a separate Nvidia PhysX processor in. So elementary and cheap to do. Or even just overclock the existing hardware to "one point twenty one jiga-watts" (/sarcasm)
