Lol. I had this EXACT moment at a different kiosk, but with Medal of Honor: Frontline for the PS2.
lol I remember this too.I remember a lot of gaming mags late 90s kept showing screenshots of that fucking baby from the messiah game. I wasn't impressed but these journos really seemed to be.
I second this. I remember being incredibly impressed.Is not embarrassing...
I just couldn't believe it was real time.
Gears of War on the Xbox 360, the train scene (bump-mapping everywhere, reflective metal textures on the train wagons, etc.)
This is a good one.
Oh my god I did too. If I remembered correctly it was at Epcot with other next gen systems set up like Sega Saturn — I'm the only one in my family who remembers it. I wanted to stay there all day. Do you have anymore details about why that was there?
It still blows my mind how developers were able to get such good results out of the MD after the system was seven years old.I think it was 1995. We went to rent a new baseball cause my dad loved playing home run derby. World Series Baseball for Sega Genesis. Told my dad I don't see how games can look any better. It was basically real life. I was 12.
DC and SoulCalibur. I could not imagine how it could ever look better than what was in the background and with the lightning effects and the detailed characters...
It was 2000, folks, pardon me.
This and Virtua Fighter 3 looking like the end of the graphical rainbow.
I asked my mom to return resident evil cause I was too scared to play it. I barely got anywhere in it and I was 14! This happened :
and I didn't want to play anymore. How could it be so realistic! And I just started! I'll never make it to the end.
Yeah, that's kinda embarrassing. At least I didn't jack off to lara croft ps1 graphics.
Oh wait I did. Oops.
You think Half - Life 2 aged poorly? I just replayed it and thought it aged 1,000 times better than I remembered. The sense of scale and adventure is honestly still unmatched in my opinion.
The DE looks so beautiful and I'm trying really hard not to buy it because I have too many games on the run as it is lmao. It would be good to mass teutonic knights again though....2000: Wow Age of Empires II is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
2020: Wow Age of Empires II is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Yeah. Have I been blown away by a game only to look back at it years later and think "oh wow this hasn't aged well"? Lots of times. Thinking technology was somehow going to stop and no more improvements would occur, ever? Not really.mhm..
I don't think I've ever been naive enough to think that graphics couldn't get better.
Man I came here to post exact same thing. My 10 year old brain could not believe it'll get better than this, ever.As a kid seeing Mortal Kombat in the arcade, i was just blown away how real the characters looked. I was thinking there's no way it can look anymore realer than this.
That is the first thing that came in mind as well. Always LOVED the FMV RE2 sequence back in the day. But we just didn't know any better.
Remember thinking "someday gameplay might look as good as this and then there'll be nowhere else to go!"
