Rogue Leader still looks great on my 24 inch 1080p tv even though it only runs in 480p.
The last time graphics really blew me away was the first Gears of War. Games like Battlefield 1 impress me, but I was expecting those sort of graphics back in 2014, and feel that it should not have taken so long for graphics that truly look a gen above 7th gen to come out. I've become really jaded when it comes to graphics, which might be why I've come to care so little about processing power. |
To be fair... I don't think Battlefield 1 or 4's console graphics is generationally better than Battlefield 3 on PC anyway.
StarWars: Battlefront can look impressive thanks to Photogrammetry... Metro 2033 pushed the envelope during it's day.
I am surprised so many think Gears was great, graphically, to me it is just another Unreal Engine 3 game. Haha
I think Bioshock was the first game that truly showed us what the Unreal Engine 3 could do, rather than Gears.

Though I never had a rig that could play it, seeing Crysis running on a friend's PC back in the day astounded me.

I think it astounded everyone who saw it.
The graphics were so ahead of it's time and so ahead of the hardware that was available on the market (Even on PC), that it literally wen't viral... Pretty sure Crysis 2 and 3 didn't have the same success as the first game... I know Crysis 2 was ridiculed for it's graphics in the PC space.

Actually, Bioshock didn't use Unreal engine 3. It used a version of Unreal engine 2.
When Gears came out in 2006 it was far and away the best looking game of all time. The best the PS3 had was Resistence 1, and the previous 360 games looked primitive in comparison. In 2007 we started seeing games that rivaled or suprassed it, but no game on PC or consoles came close in 2006. I don't think even Crisis blew away its competition as much as Gears did in 2006.
