ULTIMATE BATTLE: Which gen has had the biggest graphical jump? (56k)

I agree, but there were 3d games like starfox on snes.

the 4th-5th gen is the biggest the jump to 3d was the largest jump.

though i still think 2d games made well look vastly better then 3d games.

Last gen to current gen.

I think 2D to 3D then this gen was probably the biggest leap (physics, more detail, better graphics, etc.)

No question 2d to 3d.

Seems kinda obvious to me.

Whats the game with the crowbar. Its pretty looking?

Going to 3D was the biggest jump in my opinion.Deadly_Fatalis

Imo it was from 16bit to 32bit (2d to 3d graphics)

For all those saying 4th - 5th due to 3d, look at this.

3rd gen - 4th gen

In terms of technical graphics, thats huge. Sure it looks like a piece of crap on a stick now but it made the jump to 3d (this thread is not about the standard in a gen but the highest a single gen could produce, even if it was just one game).

6th - 7th is pretty huge too. Especially when you consider were about 2/3 of the way through this gen. By then end, expect the gap to be substantial.

And i also have now changed my mind to 4th - 5th :P. I just had to look at the ocarina of time picture to realise how big it was.

Has to be the jump to 3D. Not only did it change the graphics but it revolutionised how we play games. This gen is like last gen but on a larger scale with shaders and bloom.

4th to 5th is gives a false picture IMO. It's more like this;

To this;

3rd gen - 4th gen

I remember how visually spectacular it was, playing it a friends house (and playing Stunt Racer).

So much so I bought it and Vortex (which I also still have :P ) - also had great technical visuals for a snes game.

Still, its worth noting, that it wasn't until the N64 and PSX came around, before we started seeing true evolution in design for 3D enviroments (I suppose Segas systems too).

Of course the PC cannot be forgotten in this regard, pushing the boundaries of 3D visuals and design over an expansive time period, and from the early to late 90s, having some extremely progressive and innovative titles in use of 3D.

The jump in dimensions was the largest graphical leap.

So... snes to N64. My first N64 game, majora's mask, blew my face off.

All of them... Every gen is a massive jump. Despite people who say it doesn't look any better then the last.

[QUOTE="Rikusaki"] Hmm.. I think you hold down L3 or R3 during replays.

Real Life :P

That game is overrated D:

2D to 3D. I mean... a whole new dimension!

Great topic. I think 4th to 5th is the winner here. The jump from 2-D to 3-D is just too big to be ignored.

SNES/Genesis to N64/Playstation/Saturn

4th-5th but 1st-2nd was a big leap aswell

the jump from previous gen to Ps1

2D to 3D is the biggest graphical jump, and it will stay that way forever. Why? Because humans just can't see, understand or even imagine what 4D is like. The next leap is probably developing AI that can think for itself.

The jump from PS2/GC/Xbox to PS1? Did I miss something?

Got to be the jumpfrom 2d to 3d. Its the biggest jump were going to get. :P

2D to 3D was pretty big, but at the same time PS1 - Xbox was a really big jump. It was nice to no longer have triangle feet and hands :P
