Which game impressed you most, graphically?

For me it was Quake 3 Arena on PC. It looked so sharp and detailed when it came out.

gears of war 1.

Crysis 1

Gran Turismo 3

Silent Hill 2

Pong...

Half life 2/Doom 3 for sure. Crysis also did but not as much as those two.

Of all time? I have to say Half-Life 2. Game looked so realistic when it came out. It was crazy.

For it's time Star Fox on the SNES.

Assassins creed, when I first played it, it looked absolutely amazing.soulitane

This.

Metro 2033. I'm still amazed everytime I launch it. That game completely maxed out is gorgeous.

I've never been impressed by any games graphics.

Battlefield 2. First game I played with my first gaming PC and wow, never seen anything as good looking as it before. Crysis, FEAR, Doom 3, and Metro 2033 were also really good.

When I first brought home my launch Dreamcast and Soul Calibur I was like WOAH!!!

FEAR. The game looked so amazing for it's time.

Are we talking with or without mods?

Without mods it would probably be Metro 2033. Some effects in that game are dazzling. I guess you could put Crysis there too but it was a little rough at Vanilla.

With mods Crysis is definitely there. But what tops them all for me is GTA IV with iCEnhancer. There are times when playing that that it literally looked real. Even for split seconds. And no game has ever done that for me. I have never actually thought a game looked like real life before. But whatever way the ligh shines in some parts with that mod on, It looks flat out sensational

I wasn't even impressed by it. When in the game, all I ever got was blur and jaggies.

GTAIV

Yeah, probably the original Gears of War.vashkey

Nope. I'll admit things look good or nice, but I've never been blown away by anything.

Hmm...well I know the game is old now but man when I first saw Oblivion my jaw hit the floor! I had Morrowind on the origional xbox and I was a huge fan of it and then they announced the first trailer for Oblivion and I couldn't believe what I saw, the best looking game I ever laid eyes on!

Of course now it doesn't look so hot, but back then when I was a kid and when they showed the first trailer for the 360I was in heaven lol

OH DUH. i completely forgot about final fantasy XIII (hate it if you want, but that's one pretty game). and the greatest game of all time, shadow of the colossus.BrunoBRS

I agree on the FFXIII comment. Felt like the entire game was one big FMV at times. Heck the battles themselves have so many tiny almost forgettable effects going on (especially with magic spells) that I often rush to input commands so I can focus on the wisps of flames and the droplets of water. :P

Nothing else on consoles, and very few on the PC, really comes close.

Crysis first, and then Killzone 2 for consoles

Quake. Seriously, when that came out it completely changed my perception of what a game could look like.

I remember when I first saw Killzone 2. I was at a store and I watched someone play it and I thought I was watching a high graphic movie lol, it looked that good. Thankfully the game played great aswell....

Chapter 1. Chapter 3. Chapter 5. Chapter 6. Chapter 8. Chapter 11. The views. The vistas.

Me: :o:cry:

Individual hairs on character's faces or realistic graphics that almost (but not quite) make you forget you're playing a game got NOTHING on the sheer beauty of the world of Cocoon and Pulse.

Also, going further back a bit, MGS2 in 2001. Dat storm sequence on the tanker...all at 60fps.

Well, Square Enix had to put some time into making the character models pretty considering how terrible the rest of the game is. The graphics are really the only good part of the game, I agree.princeofshapeir

FFXIII is a solid entry in the series. Better than several others in the main canon (including VII, IMO).
