So I'm blown away by the graphics in the new Far Cry. I feel like we've crossed some kind of threshold where humans and nature can finally be fully depicted without looking unnatural. Going forward I can imagine soon we will simply have games which look entirely real and games which chose not to.
The thing is... we've kind of been here before. We've been talking about games with photorealistic graphics for generations, and a lot of it is pretty funny to look back at now.
For me racing games have always seemed to push the graphics to the edge. And the one that first amazed me with it's photorealistic graphics was Formula One Grand Prix on DOS. Those must be real cars we're looking at, right?
So what was the first game you considered "photorealistic"? Bonus points if you can find old reviews claiming life-like graphics.
Edit: Pics will really enhance the thread.
