Support NeoGAF

[Reiko]

For me, Soul Calibur 2 on Xbox.

(Not my TV)

Playing the game in 720p was a revelation in the potential of the coming next generation consoles. So crisp & clear. Only con was not being able to play it in a true 16:9 ratio.

What you say GAF?

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Call of Duty 2 and Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360 launch).

Some Xbox games supported HD but at that time I was still playing my games on a Sony Trinitron CRT.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Mw2 on 360

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Condemned

 

[gdt]

Gears of War

 

[Anticitizen One]

Perfect Dark Zero

 

[coldfoot]

Quake 2+ Incoming

Bur if we're talking consoles, Burnout Paradise for me.

 

[JordanLMiller]

Gears of War I think

Wait - maybe it was some racing game... I don't remember which one...

ACTUALLY - I might've seen a madden demo in gamestop, but I'm not sure if that counts

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

San Andreas on PC.

 

[Rubius]

Super Mario World
Damn those colors, those lines, that music.
Then Donkey Kong Country came and ripped a hole in Mario World. Destroyed my perception of video games.

And because I know people will complain that I didnt use the current definition of HD (720p and 1080p(Seriously, 4K will be what? High High Definition? Nope, just the next HD)), Its Deadrising. Not the most impressive game, but having all those zombies on screen made me so happy.

 

[Yoshichan]

Must've been some random FPS on PC that I was running in 720p.

Console-wise, I think it was Kameo (360). Looked amazing.

 

[MaskOfSkin]

Xbox 360. Fight Night 3 and GRAW blew my mind.

 

[Shaffield]

the games I got with my 360 were Beautiful Katamari and Bioshock

so those I guess

 

[slick7rick]

final fantasy xiii
as lame as the gameplay was, the graphics were awe-inspiring.

 

[tyrone888]

Definitely Gears of War. I fell for the marketing hype but didn't regret it at all. Great system seller!

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Amped 2 ran in 720p on my TV prior to me getting a 360.

 

[FStop7]

I had Enter the Matrix and Soul Calibur 2 for the XBox but I don't think I played them in HD. First HD game was Project Gotham Racing 3 or Condemned.

 

[YoungBuck219]

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

 

[zruben]

GTA 3 on PS2 probably...

or some Fifa, I can't really remember.

 

[Aeana]

On consoles, it was Blue Dragon. It was also the first game I ever played in widescreen, since my PC monitor was 4:3 at the time. It was definitely a great choice for me, and it set a positive tone for the generation in my eyes.

 

[shadyspace]

New Super Mario Bros. U

 

[GAMERG0D]

Viva Pinata

lol

 

[hunnies28]

Dead Space.

 

[JordanN]

Technically, there was alot of HD games I played but were hooked up to a SDTV.

For my first HD game that was hooked up to a HDTV, it was Fight Night Round 4.

 

[gregor7777]

Consoles-wise it was Gears.

 

[braves01]

Halo 3 on my buddy's Xbox in 720p. Didn't think HD was THAT big deal until then.

 

[Gannd]

HD gaming or HD consoles? I was gaming in HD on my computer years before consoles could do it. Console wise, it's the Wii U.

 

[njean777]

perfect dark zero

 

[Delusibeta]

TrackMania Nations Forever.

Oh yeah, I picked a PC game, what are ya gonna do?

[But seriously, I don't have a HDTV, so the PC is the only thing that can play games at HD resolutions]

 

[Reiko]

I had Enter the Matrix and Soul Calibur 2 for the XBox but I don't think I played them in HD. First HD game was Project Gotham Racing 3 or Condemned.

Yeah. Enter the Matrix had 720p and 1080i support.

 

[mokeyjoe]

Well, not counting PC games then Gears of War I think. Although the first thing I actually played was the demo for Dirt.

Looked amazing.

 

[Yoshichan]

On consoles, it was Blue Dragon. It was also the first game I ever played in widescreen, since my PC monitor was 4:3 at the time. It was definitely a great choice for me, and it set a positive tone for the generation in my eyes.

The only tone that came out of that game for me was "Nothing"

T_T

 

[Electivirus]

Final Fantasy XIII on PS3 which, while it wasn't my first PS3 game, it *was* the first game I played when I finally got an HDTV earlier this year. Mind-blowing stuff.

 

[xist]

I actually haven't yet. Does that make me a bad person?

 

[Reiko]

PC games were doing HD before consoles. Even before Xbox 360. So it's a no brainer.

 

[Sylver]

Dead Rising 1.

 

[JFunky]

Kameo and Condemned

 

[gdt]

Halo 3 on my buddy's Xbox in 720p. Didn't think HD was THAT big deal until then.

Oh the irony.

 

[MechaX]

Ace Combat 6 for the 360.

And it was glorious.

 

[chaosblade]

On consoles, WipeoutHD.

I guess the only downside is that there wasn't much room to go up from there.

 

[braves01]

Oh the irony.

Yeah, bumping anything up to just 720 on a nice TV is a revelation for someone who's only played in SD.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Resistance fall of man. I wasn't really that much of a gamer back then but when I shot that first wave of chimera in HD I was hooked.

 

[brinstar]

Bayonetta was what finally got me to buy an HD console

 

[Vermillion]

I don't remember. Wii U is my first HD console, but I've played my friends' Xbox 360s and PS3s and watched them play so many times.

 

[TimeEffect]

Didn't play in HD until Killzone 2. Non-blurry HUD Blew me away

 

[kdash7]

Halo 3

 

[No_Style]

Consoles: Gears of War
PC: I think it was Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries -- whatever game that I ran first at 1280 x 1024

 

[pargonta]

xbox and ps2 could output in HD? yikes i didn't remember that.

mmm DoA4, i believe for me.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Call of Duty 4 on PS3.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Altered Beast!

But seriously, it was probably VF5 on 360.
