Myst the thread.
yup
Myst the thread.
Been such a long time since I played this game. It's a bizarre relic of the nineties, the kind of thing you'd never see boxed and sold at retail nowadays, if sold at all. Very moody and gorgeous in its own way. It would appeal to people who like Ethan Carter and the like.
First 100 hours of Gran Turismo 3, I was sure a game could NEVER look any better:
In 1996 Bad Mojo did something interesting, scanning and digitizing actual locations, items, insects and animals in 640x480 resolution. Most photorealistic game of the decade
The rebel assault games blew me away back then.
Technical masterpiece alongside Soul Calibur... But not exactly photorealistic. :/First time my jaw dropped on the ground :
Dead or Alive 2, on Dreamcast.
Riven:
Looks good even today. Imagine how it was back in 1997
Love the face-tear death scene. How they shot it and the SFX, damn, that is brutal.
Flight sims were always the titles that pushed this the most for me. The first time I thought a game was photorealistic was when I saw Flight Unlimited in 1995
I specifically remember thinking that the water looked exactly like real water. That game blew me awayfar cry 1
i thought graphics wouldn't get much better than that when i was 15
Myst the thread.
I remember getting mesmerised by the water back in Morrowind for some reason

One question though: You were playing as that cockroach, right? xD

Flight Unlimited was a good one.
Destruction Derby 1:
If you squint a little, that actually looks like a pixelated real photograph, damn
I remember that the first time I was truly impressed by a games graphics was when I saw a cutscene in Cyberia. 1994. I dreamed of a day when gameplay would look as amazing as that cutscene.
The company behind that game later made Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and even later merged with Treyarch to work on COD.
