MS getting that timed exclusivity on GTA 4 was massive, looking back at it.

Jak 2 GOAT

alan wake 2 and you can’t even debate it for this gen

Mgsv, red dead 2, last of us 2, etc

call of duty 2
cod 4 opening mission where captain price smokes that cigar
Battlefield 3
nba 2k14

FF16

I remember seeing the Battlefield 3 trailer on a TV at best buy when I was a kid and that s*** blew my mind

Battlefield 4 as well

I don’t know how the hell they were able to push those games onto the underpowered 7th and 8th gen

Playing Gears of War for the first time. Never had a PS2, so going from games like GTA San Andreas on a low end PC to that was insane

I still remember playing COD Black Ops for the first time and we were all like "Look at their faces " when that cutscene in the bar started. Looking back, that s*** kinda mid

God of War, Uncharted 4, RDR 2 blew me away on PS4

I was still playing ps2 when gta 4 was already out and when I installed gta 4 on my pc and booted it up I screamed

Mom, Mom look! this looks like real life

gta 3 crash bandicoot

Crazy how times have changed

Great examples

first time i played ffx as a kid that blitzball cutscene where everything gets wrecked felt so graphically impressive to me at the time

Honestly, that's a good point.

It's up there with Astrobot, Returnal, R&C: Rift Apart, It Takes Two, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring as games that feel next gen

Loved FFX. Definitely was such a leap on other RPGs at the time.

I got the 360 when it first came out in my region, the release games didn't blow me away graphically until Gears and then Rainbow Six Vegas released back to back in November 06.

First game I had on PS3 was MW2 and that was just such a massive jump from anything I ever played before.

CoD4
Cyberpunk
Forbidden West
RDR2

And yeah Jak and Daxter series was ahead of its time

Dragons Dogma 2 & Baldurs Gate 3 as games

Demons Souls Remake & Dragons Dogma 2 as graphics

Everything else ass and cross gen this is the worst console gen so far

crysis 1-3

Horizon Forbidden West looks unreal to me sometimes. Even crazier that it’s a cross gen game. I can’t even imagine what a fully exclusive Guerrilla PS5 game is going to look like.

Horizon 3 on the PS5 Pro will look mind-blowing famo

Playing Forza Horizon 2 on my XB1 when I was in middle school was amazing to me back then, game still looks stunning 10 years later
