Best looking game relative to release date?

FarCry is well up there. I just love that game.

One game that really stands out for me and one that just blew me away when it came out was Gran Turismo on the PS1. The visuals of the cars on the replays was nothing short of mind blowing at the time. Nothing came anywhere near as close.
 
Crysis, considering it came out 4 years ago and still looks better than most games it has to be up there.
 
for me it was GTA vice city - i know it wasnt that good, but it was the proper game i really played and i couldnt believe the graphics - i was used to stuff like tetris :p
 
At the time I thought Tomb Raider looked good especialy on my new 3dfx card, also a thubs up for Forsaken and Unreal.
 
my vote goes to Far Cry and Crysis. Crytek are always top trumps when it comes to pushing the boundries in my opinion.

though for consoles Metal Gear Solid II, was a massive enormous leap from the first game and Killzone II, what the? a PS3 game that stamps all over most PC games, how is this possible?! :eek:
 
Crysis, 4 years on and it's still arguably the best looking game out.

4 years is an unbelievably long time for any PC game to last, seeing as new generations of hardware typically come out every year or so...
 
Quake 3, Unreal and an honourable mention to Half-Life (when I had a 3D card powerful enough to run it in hardware, as opposed to software on a P166 MMX and S3 Virge PCI).
 
For me I think of..

Half Life 2
Farcry
Metal Gear Solid
Magic Carpet
Starwing
Goldeneye
Gran Turismo
Crysis
Gears of War
Unreal
ICO
 
The original NFS - 1994

Compared to NASCAR from the same year

Worlds apart. (Though saying that Nascar spawned one of the best racing games! GPL!)
