Your earliest memory saying, "games can't look better than this!"

Never ever have I thought that graphics have gotten so good that technology can't improve and make them better
I remember looking at the water in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on the GameCube and thinking that was it. It is now real. I can't wait to see the remaster of this and think it looks shit.
A lot of the GameCube games in particular, to me, look great even now. It must just be the styles they chose.

The first time it happened for me was when a classmate brought in he SNES with Donkey Kong Country for show and tell. I'd never even seen a Super Nintendo before so when he loaded up stage one of the snow world where the blizzard starts, I was blown away.
When the enemies rolled out of the way, I thought this was the pinnacle of AI in games.
I also thought there was no way Link could look better than this:
Mothafuckin' Rogue Squadron II.
Eat your heart out, Battlefront II.
With games like Rogue Leader and REmake (and Prime and Wind Waker and GX), I really did think GameCube graphics -- for the first time -- were good enough. I still do (beyond some muddy textures, edges, and upscaling when using modern resolutions).
Never thought there wouldn't be further advancement.
I can remember watching the pre-rendered cutscenes in FFX's beginning, thinking to myself "Holy crap, in a decade, gameplay graphics will look like this in real time!"
Playing shit like God of War yesterday it's so cool to see that thought coming to fruition.

Probably the original Tomb Raider, followed by the original Resident Evil, followed by Metal Gear Solid. So first time was seeing tomb Raider on PS1 when I was used to Sonic on Master System (I was poor and skipped the Mega Drive).
Probably watching the Half-Life 2 E3 2003 demo. It's always fun going back and watching it because it still impresses
GTA 3, metal gear 2 sons of liberty, Max payne, re remake, silent Hill 3, re 4, gears 1, half life 2, Doom
Crash Bandicoot. I had just bought a PlayStation after owning a Genesis/32X/Sega CD and there was a demo disc with Crash on it.
Could not believe the razor sharp, crystal clear 3D.

I was 15 at the time, and I was playing on this little 32 inch HDTV that my parents had gotten me, along with a PS3, and Uncharted 2, I couldn't believe that I was able to play the parts that would normally be cinamatics.
I've never had the "graphics can never look better than this" thought, but -
Then playing the game, having it in my hands, and it was EXACTLY like those demos... It blew my mind in 2004
Half Life 2 was the most impressive demo I've ever seen. That gameplay with the wallhacks, the physics, the reactive environment...

Max Payne 1, dat Sam Lake face looked glorieus.
Shortly after that Halo CE, the moment you come out of the crashlanded escape pod on Halo was jawdropping

Wreckless Yakuza on the xbox. Such a random, unknown game that was unlike anything I've ever seen before in terms of visual quality.
Yep, came here for this. I remember loading up the demo with my parents in the room, and they thought it was real football for a minute.
Shadow of the Colossus when I was like 10 blew my mind. I was like "This is it. This is what PS3 is going to look like."
I wasn't talking about looks in the second half of my statement.
Am I really the first to say this one?
Fight Night Round 3
Xbox 360
Was arguably one of the greatest looking games ever when it came out.

I remember when screenshots of this leaked ahead of E3 and people were calling it fake because it looked too clean.
Sonic and Fantasia on Megadrive.
I was 10 at the time and have a vivid memory of saying this to my friend and him agreeing with me lol
