Rogue Leader





Also Rebel Strike since it was an updated engine, but for a launch game from 3 generations Rogue Leader still looks amazing.

Many old top down/strategy games look still good and will look good forever. Baldur's Gate (especially 2), Age of Empires (especially 2), Heroes of Might and Magic 3,... They have that nice hand painted look and have aged really well. Can't say the same about old 3rd person games. Shadow of the Colossus is one of the few.

They all look pretty terrible to me.

Donkey Kong Country aged really bad on a Full HD screen. Got the SNES classic and set it up. It looks so bad. Wish I would still have a CRT just for this.

Very few 5th gen games have aged well. Of the ones that have, most of them go for a 2D style like Paper Mario or Parapa the Rapper.

Of the 3D games that still look pretty good today, my nod goes to Sin and Punishment. It's aged to be sure, and being on rails made it a little easier to get the most out of the system, but it holds up better than I thought.



Silent Hill 3 (PS2)

 

Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)

 

Valkyrie Profile 2.



"PS2, seriously? These still hold up so well!! :D"

Could be from a emulator... I mean who knows these days when you google something, or look in a forum for it.
These arnt pics I took myself so no idea, but their old PS2 games.

Can you name the games you showed us? I only recognized A Link to The Past, Ocarina of Time and Duke Nukem 3D.

Chrono Trigger is still beautiful.
This game doesn't need a remake. But I'd still love to see one.

Indeed, it looks amazing!! :D

Prime 1 and 2 look just ridiculous for their time, really. These pictures don't actually do them justice. Keep in mind it's all locked 60fps.

Nintendo polish. ;)

Yeah. Makes you wish there were more Sin and Punishment games.

That's Majora's Mask, not Ocarina of Time.  The first pic is Balder's Gate.  The 1 that looks like Myst is Return to Zork.  Don't know what the last rpg is supposed to be.



Looking for images that aren't the HD version. But Okami still looks ace.
