Which gmae stands out to you as the game that started next-gen graphics into realism

[compboyo]

FOr me two games define the change to realism.

For consoles:

GTA3

On PC:

Far Cry


For me these were the 2 defining games going from old skool graphics into soemthing bigger, better, newer and more realistic worlds and animations etc..

Consoles I'd say Black
PC I'd agree with Far Cry.
There are probably many others too. Racing games are often great graphics as they can be very focused on a specific "look".
