The most insane detail you have seen in a game

Gran Turismo car models. Gif taken from GT5 prologue.
I stole the cup of an inconsequential NPC whose very existence is only to make a town feel like it is more real and they tried to ghost me for it with hired thugs. Also, that same vengeful NPC has an entire family of inconsequential NPCs that also serve no purpose to the story of the game except for me to revisit the wrongs inflicted on me at an exponential level (if that even happens). I mean, that has to be some kind of high level, if not insane.

Metroid Prime is one of the best games ever OP.
...
So the icons for the beams are the hand shapes samus makes to use them.
Damn, Never would have realised that.
That's a bored artist, not attention to detail.
Yeah fair enough - you just spent a lot of your post talking about killing the shit out of people, haha.
Going with your Metroid Prime Motif there is a fully rendered representation of the 4 beams on the inside of the arm cannon that the player literally will never see.
This. Always this.
You're not planning on shooting up any high schools soon, by any chance?

MGSV has to have the most gameplay details in a video game this generation, theirs just too many examples to pick. One that sticks out to me is if you throw a grenade in a crowd of soldiers, one of them will dive for it to save the others.

I mean it's not out yet, but all the physics stuff in the new zelda, including lightning being attracted by metal and stuff..
Ragdoll? Insane detail?
Loot in Zelda must be blowing people's mind as well.
It's funny, before I even opened the thread, I was going to say Metroid Prime. Aside from the one mentioned in the OP, another one I loved was the smoke you could see rising from the arm cannon after firing your beam several times in quick succession. Also loved the rain hitting the visor/arm cannon.
Prime really was ahead of its time in so many ways. I still remember reading the EGM when one of the reviews said something to the effect of "It's like the best game from 10 years into the future fell into a time warp."

I remember reading that too lmao. Someone used that quote to convince me to try it when I wasn't interested.

When you shot the top of a barrel in Timesplitters 2, wine would pour out for a little while. If you shot another time below the first hole, there would come out more. You could also simply shoot at the bottom first, which emptied the whole barrel. Further holes would remain dry, naturally.

Thanks for this.

I'm adding it to the OP.
I didn't know that, but I tried to make him slip with marbles and it didn't work :-/
A neat little detail in Donkey Kong Country 3's Krematoa a.k.a. Lost World.
When you beat all the levels and summon K. Roolenstein's sub, the water goes from blue to red giving the whole map a red tint. However, it's not just the map that gets tinted, returning to a level in the Lost World reveals that they too received a red tint.

I liked how the antennae on the warthog and the scorpion waved around a bit too. The brake lights for the warthog seemed unexpected to me back in 2001 as well.
Kind of everything in GTAV.. I guess we're tired of hearing it by now, but seriously, the depth of the details in this videogame is truly amazing.

Love this kind of stuff. Kojima is the king of details.
I mean, I haven't stolen any cups in the real world.

That takes quite a bit of effort. Details like this is what I like.

GTAV the thread
The gibs in Blood.
Struggling to find a video or gif, but you could stab an NPC with a pitchfork repeatedly, until it fell apart, then you could keep stabbing the gibs themselves, and so on. Apart from the eyes, which (after forking the crap out of the head) if you tried to stab them shot off into the distance like trying to stab a cherry tomato on a plate.

Well...actually...it doesn't take much effort..haha. You just set that object/surface as reflective. I mean you can change other properties for a better look..but it's often just a few clicks to have reflections on anything now days.
Examples like melting ice and physics based stuff is on another level effort wise.

Medal of honor did that like 20 years ago. It was crazy on ps1
There was a guy in the tree house thread freaking out about getting a side quest from just talking to an NPC
I'm not surprised.

I'm going to need a gif of this.
Eh? I agree that Zelda looks really cool and it looks like it's still a cut above most open world games in terms of interactivity but why are we acting as if it's doing "physics stuff" beyond anything we've ever witnessed?
We've witnessed lots of interactive objects, dense foliage, dynamic TOD, destructible trees/sheds, fire propagation, wind and weather physics, extremely accurate soft body physics for foliage, and even foliage regeneration while being open world all in one game nearly a decade ago in Farcry 2. Some of these are stuff that Zelda doesn't even attempts.

MGS2's ice cubes are just insanity.
What about the incredible innovation of unlocking parts of the map by climbing towers? A gaming first for sure!

Speaking of little details and the witcher 3
*Slight spoilers*
A certain someone stalks you the entire time during a certain expansion, and to date no one has found every example of it. It has been subtle and there all along.

Even then I bet Quantum crushes everything when it comes to Lighting systems.
I mean, I've posted the image a few times before (Nintendo vs other open world games) but the funny thing is after the Swiitch reveal its become reality.
I really like its artstyle tho.
TOWERS!?
Brb calling Ubisoft lawyers. Clearly a breach of IP and Copyrights.
Forgot to add GTAV there. The fact that engines make "cooling" sound after driving them and parking is crazy detail to me.

You can also get Snake to masturbate while looking at them.
Platinum has a blog post detailing the angelic writing on Sapientia, one of the bosses in Bayonetta. The "no step" on the wings gets me, since there's no way you'd ever be able to see that in the actual game.
Bayonetta in general has a lot of angelic / demonic writing on stuff, and all of it translates into something. Even the ones that just appear briefly, like the angelic / demonic magic circles. The witches' Umbran Watches also have their names and birth dates inscribed on them.
Also, this might be commonly known, but all of the angelic / demonic language in the games is actually Enochian, which is an invented "angelic" language from the 16th century.

Shenmue.
Every npc has their own voices dialog, background story and life in the game. For example, one day you may meet npc1 at the shops, at 9am picking up some food before heading to work. At 5pm u see them meeting up with their friends for drinks, before heading home.
Npc2 may be studying and gets tired and goes for a walk around town. At christmas/new years , you'll see them go shops to buy presents for their loved ones.
Npc3 is kool one day, but the next day is having girlfriens problems etc
You can follow each individual npc around and observe their life fully as it changes on a day to day bases. Insane detail.

Snake in MGS2 could actually catch a cold if you stayed outside for too long. He would sneeze, attracting guards' attention. You had to cure it with medicine. You can even get a codec call by Otacon telling you about this.
