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

Don't think I've ever said that, but if I did think I would probably say it for Gran Turismo 3.
Ninja Gaiden on Xbox for me. Looking back it looks awesome especially with X enhancements but newer games have come out that loon slot more realistic and detailed.
I remember watching an episode of the UK videogame TV show Gamesmaster, and in their news section they mentioned this console called the Playstation had released in Japan, and showed some footage of Ridge Racer running on it. The concept of being able to play something looking like THAT on my TV at home absolutely floored me.
I also remember reading a magazine when the release of the PS2 was imminent, and they had printed some screenshots of PS2 games (I believe Final Fantasy X was one of them), and I thought "nah, those have to be fake, games can't look that good".

Bingo.
GT3 on PS2 blew my mind. The subject matter helped but damn, those replays came in to their own. Yeah...I though it was the pinnacle of visual fidelity.
Ha...we've come so far since.
Soul Calibur 1 on Dreamcast.
It was like playing the CG cutscenes. Even while playing them I still couldn't believe it.

GTA San Andreas. It's the game I was the most excited about in my life so finally getting my hands on it even if just for PS2 had me thinking how good it looked and there was no way to beat it. Didn't help that a cousin that also was looking forward to it did the same thing, so we had a little bubble there.
Didn't even care about other games that already looked really good, SA was the new peak lol, although I put it up so high because it was open world and all the stuff you could interact with.

Yup, FFX was definitely the one for me. I was blown away by how great it looked and couldn't fathom it being topped lolFFX cinematics.

This one, in particular.
Everquest.
They made an entire fucking world. How could my middle school brain comprehend anything greater than that.

PS1....Battle Arena Toshinden. I remember booting that bad boy up for the very first time and being completely blown away!! I was so extatic with it lolol
came in to post this... during the intro cinema I remember thinking, wow... this might be as realistic looking as games get lol
lots of love for it in this thread I see
The original Motorstorm was the first ps3 game I saw. This was at a demo kiosk at Best Buy and I couldn't believe how real it looked. Back then, I remember that it made me think that the PS3 was years ahead of the 360 in terms of graphics.
This looked as real as real gets to me back then.
Those Sega Model 3 games and Code Veronica screens for DC. I thought it looked like perfection. Its 20 years ago, lol.
Crysis 1, and it still looks like it could be a current gen game, minus some nitpicking here and there. I remember being awestruck how good it looked but never really wanted to play it since it simply did not look interesting to me. But graphically it was a beast.
Resident Evil 4 on gamecube (on a crt tv) was , and still is, really good looking. I remember thinking that graphic don't have to be better. Kind of still do?
Probably not the first, but at the E3 demo of Allied Assault, in 2000 or 2001, the beach landing at Normandy was mind blowing. I think everyone felt the same that saw the demo.
Another would have to be seeing Gears screens, and then video of it actually running on real hardware. I really thought it was all smoke and mirrors..

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue was the first for me, with Battlefield 3 being the last. My eyes have gotten too keen recently.
