MW2/MW3/BO/BO2 looked impressive, I concur, but not Advanced Warfare IMO, it suffered from looking noticeably downgraded as a result of being built for PS4/Xbone then chopped down, had a lot of rather poor textures and shadows.

I just edited my previous post with some thoughts on RE5.

I feel the AW campaign was more ambitious than previous games technically, a lot more happening given its futuristic and heavy action environment. So there may have been compromise on assets yet maintained an impressive frame rate even now.

I think many of the cross gen games were attempting to use more advanced lighting effects but lacked the power. So you ended up with a downgraded variation and more pixelated shadows. I've mentioned Destiny before because it had impressive 8th gen-ish lighting, but low res shadows.

Yeah AW on 360 was still an impressive port IMO for managing to retain the core structure as the PS4/Xbone version while still targeting 60fps and getting there most of the time, I just think that since the 360 was no longer the lead platform as it was for the prior few COD games it wasn't quite as pretty.

And yeah RE5 is impressive to this day, I actually think it has aged better than RE6 due to its smoother performance and more stylized use of shaders and post-processing.
