The first game that I said "the graphics are unbeatable"

[whoololon]

It is curious, because I really had to do a pretty big memory exercise.
But what has cost me the most has been to be honest and separate the game from its graphics, not to cheat myself because a game was very good in its day. Where I really thought that "this is the end" in graphics for the first time was with the Amstrad CPC after my first game of Gunship by MicroProse.
With respect to the PC, that honor was given much later to MechWarrior 3 (for me the best of the saga) also by MicroProse and LockOn by UBI (when they still made good simulators).

The first game that blew my friends away was NFS2 Special Edition, the version for 3DFX with my brand new Voodoo2 3000 Then I think Half-Life came along.
Max Payne with bullet time also allowed for a good amount of amazement xD

I was blown away by Wolfenstein and then BF1942 was amazing the first time I got into a plane

I don't remember any that I thought were "unbeatable" but there are a few that I really liked. The first ones that impressed me for their detail were Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit II, which was the one I played the most. Resident Evil 0, 1 and 4 on Game Cube looked fantastic, the first two being fixed scenarios only rendered in 3D the moving objects. One of PC that I love the graphics of is Mirror's Edge, although simple it gives a great look. On PS3 Uncharted for example, when the first one came out it was spectacular the colors, the scenes, etc.

@amd125:

As I'm getting old, I remember Wolfestein 3D as the first game that blew my mind. Before that, there was Alone in the Dark. Then, with Doom, the one that ran on a 486 at 25 with 4 megs of RAM :ugly: blew my mind. Doom II was even better.

The big change for me was mainly when I used the first 3D graphics card I had, a 3dfx Monster II that I bought second-hand and could play Half Life, Need for Speed 1 or Quake 1 and 2 etc as God intended. Duke Nukem 3D also blew my mind. They were 2D but being able to play it at 800*600 was amazing. Also, the first Colin Mc Rae sometimes left me with the car not moving, just observing the details of the landscape or the car.

Anyway, as for current games, BF3 blew my mind with its graphics, I don't have BF4 but it looks good in terms of graphics.

well, I pretty much agree, almost exactly the same
and of course I think FarCry was spectacular for its graphic quality and without having one of the
expensive graphics cards, which at that time was very difficult to have a quality graphics card because they were so expensive

Far Cry was indeed a good graphical change. I was able to fully appreciate it because I had new equipment with a 128 MB 6600 GT :troll: and with that, I could run it smoothly. I still play it occasionally today. In fact, I thought the first one was much better than the second.

In fact, I thought the 1 was much better than the 2.

You're not the only one

@Fassou:

No eres el único

Jajaja, pues no, desde luego no es el único :ugly: De todos modos, el final fue casi tan soso como el del primer Bioshock, y alguna de sus fases fueron una tortura!!

Yo podría decir unos cuantos juegos: GTA 3, Mafia, Half Life 1 y 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, Max Payne, Return to Castle Wolfenstein…. Ya pensare alguno más, porque seguro me dejo varios.

Saludos!!

P.D: Uff, hacia siglos no posteaba, perdonarme!!

Very bad Neptunno, you are missed on the forum, red point to the corner! :osvaisacagar: :ugly:

Greetings man!

The truth is that I tried GTA 3 directly without going through the first two GTA with their classic top-down view, because I had seen them, but when I had a good computer GTA 3 was already available, and I was not going to settle for less than that :troll:

I must be weird, I've never been particularly impressed by the graphics of any game... I've always thought that there's a lot of room for improvement and there's still a lot of room for it. What has happened to me many times is installing a game from years ago that I remembered better and saying, was it like this or is the cd wrong?

That happened to me too, but I've always kept in mind that, within what's possible, they're graphics, not real life, so the idea quickly went out of my head and I thought again: "wow, how handsome he is" xDDD

And about reviving an old game and being disappointed, the opposite has happened to me... Playing NFS III on a Pentium MMX at 200Mhz and always seeing it pixelated. Giving up on the game after a long time, and remembering it when I already had the Athlon64, reinstalling it and saying: "wow, there were more resolutions and everything! What definition!!" :ugly: :ugly: :ugly: :ugly: :ugly:
