1 gen difference!

Not having to render any polygons except the characters themselves + massive power upgrade from the previous gen = you win the thread. I doubt this can be topped.

Total War tends to lead the way when it comes to strategy game visuals:

Total War: Medieval (2002) and Total War: Rome (2004)

Medieval 2 (2006) and Empire (2009)

Rome 2 and Attila (2014)

Total War: Warhammer (2016)

Planes in San Andreas looked better than that. I don't think that's a pilotable plane in that screenshot.

It's not.

It's one of the "pedestrian" planes that just flies around.

Misleading OP is misleading

The game isn't actually that sharp but I think this competes with REMake for most impressive generational jump.

Not that the PS1 couldn't do 3D cities like Driver 1 and 2 though. But the within series difference is crazy.

I'd say the jump from MGS1 to MGS2 is more impressive, both on a visual and technical level since RE1 PS1 and RE1 Remake on GCN both used pre-rendered backgrounds whereas MGS1 and MGS2 were fully 3D.

R&C Up Your Arsenal to Tools for Destruction is a pretty amazing leap. I was playing Up Your Arsenal remastered on the PS3 and when I started Tools for Destruction it was jaw dropping. It's even more impressive than the new R&C because they managed that kind of a leap without dropping the frame rate to 30fps

1 gen too

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

1 gen difference!

sure but when you include all the games that were in between you see a progression rather than a jump.

Even the leap from Resi 1 to Resi 2 was damn impressive.

1 gen difference!

To be fair RE was an early PSone title, even RE2 looked better, but yeah, the jump from 32bit consoles to 128bit was massive.

To be fair those are youtube screengrabs. I think if you looked at Tekken 7 running on a PC at high resolution the difference would be far more pronounced.

 

[SolidSnakex]

What's odd is that I saw video of GT sport and thought to myself "this doesn't really look like an improvement over the ps3". Side to side there's obviously a large difference.

Is that a symptom of seeing the graphics of other racing games this generation? Or something else? I had a similar sensation when I played tekken 4. I remember thinking tekken tag was basically photorealistic until I went back and played it.

I just think sometimes we remember games looking better than they really did. You'll often times see it when people say "This game looks like something from [insert past generation console]". It recently happened with a set of impressions of Mafia 3 that claimed it look like an early generation PS3 game.
