[Lionheart1827]

Gears of War in Fall of 2007. My ex had gotten me a 360 bundle with the Forza 2/Marvel Ultimate Alliance and picked up Gears as well.

At the time I was used to GC/PS2/Wii stuff but was blown away at how good it looked.

 

[fart town usa]

Dead Space on PS3

I about shat myself.

 

[Doffen]

PGR3 at a Microsoft event in Norway (October 2005).

 

[Dariso]

DMC4 on PS3. Those graphics O_O and all that at 60fps.Its still one of the best looking 60fps console games of this generation despite being a 2008 game.

 

[Gowans]

Lots on my PC but console hmm..

I got a early HD TV and the HD kit for Xbox.

I think it was some Dirt Bike or ATV game then I got all the other 720p 1080i Xbox 1 games and played them too.

 

[Aguirre]

gears of war.

damn! unbelievable. in fact, i think gow has aged quite well.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Heavenly Sword I think.

 

[QisTopTier]

DMC4 I was shocked seeing the difference

 

[Gintamen]

I think that was Perfect Dark Zero or Oblivion or N3: Ninety-Nine Nights, don't really know anymore.

 

[Snaku]

MGS4

I rented a 50+ inch Sony from Rent-A-Center specifically for that game. It was amazing.

 

[Tankshell]

PGR3 on 360 on launch day morning at home. It was glorious.

 

[Stooo]

Mentioned by others already, Amped 2 on my modded PAL Xbox back in 2004 I think? 32" Toshiba WL48. Cost me a fortune back then but still going strong today in the bedroom.

 

[Enzon]

Heavenly Sword, i was really impressed at the time

 

[MattJon]

Perfect Dark Zero. I remember being impressed by the floor textures. The rest of the game, not so much.

 

[Magnus]

On an HDTV, probably Kingdom Hearts or Panzer Dragoon Orta (480p? maybe, can't remember).

On an HDTV and actually in HD? I think that was X-Men Legends on the X-Box. Had 720p support. 2004.

 

[SerOnionKnight]

COD 2 at 360's launch

Mine too, was absolutely blown away seeing that game running and that was when I knew I had to get a 360.

 

[FatBaby]

I think it was Resistance when the PS3 came out.

 

[Nemo]

MotorStorm

Menu background looked AMAZING the first time

 

[Captain Tuttle]

COD 2 at 360's launch

Exactly the same

 

[cozo]

gears

dat definition; dem graphics

 

[WilyRook]

Final Fantasy 13 demo that came with Advent Children blu-ray. I was like that Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park gif when they saw the Brachiosaur.

 

[Camp Lo]

Vanquish then GOW3 for the first time.

Mind blowing.

 

[MikeE21286]

NBA 2k6 @ 360's launch.

Boy was that glorious...

 

[thekonamicode]

Condemned back in 2005.

So many hobos to bash in high definition for the first time ever.

 

[Wilsongt]

Lost Odyssey.

 

[lockload]

It was one of the xbox 360 launch titles but i cant remember which one

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

My import copy of Oblivion for PS3

 

[Shady859]

Wow the internet is a magical place... I thought I got my first HDTV on black friday along with the 360 launch.. NOPE google told me it was BF 2 years later and it even told my the very first game I played in HD: Call of Duty 4 and 300 as first DVD in HD.

I remember now and from that post, haha, that my 32" Olevia tv replaced a 19" 100 pound PC monitor that honestly had an amazing picture when paired with vga cables. Got it in the trash when I moved into that apartment and used it from 360 launch until I got this Olevia that has served loyally as my PC monitor for many years.

 

[Acrylic7]

Motorstorm Demo and Resistance.
I took my ps3 to my friends house and he had a HD Dell monitor and HDcables.

Motorstorm looked fantastic all those years ago.

 

[HiiiLife]

Uncharted Drakes Fortune.

And it was glorious.

 

[Recall]

COD3 on Xbox 360. Got the HD TV when we bought the console.

 

[Kouriozan]

Tales of Graces Wii I think.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Kameo!

 

[Clunker]

I feel like I had to have played around with store kiosks, but the first time I bought an HDTV for home and plugged it in to my 360, it was like buying a whole new console. I want to say it was December of 2009. I stayed up for hours that night just popping in and replaying my 360 and Wii games (my first time with a TV that had component to boot); I think the first 360 game I replayed was Bioshock, and it was amazing.

 

[dark_inferno]

Killzone 2. I came a bit late to the party but man was it awesome.

 

[Stabby McSter]

I played SC2 in 720p back in the day. It was glorious.

 

[MikeE21286]

Tales of Graces Wii I think.

you poor soul

 

[derwalde]

ghost recon advanced warfighter i think.

 

[MisterC20XX]

Blew my mind in 2007.

 

[DJMicLuv]

Lost Planet and PGR3.
Minds were blown and consoles were purchased. In that order.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Super Smash Bros. Melee, 480p awwwww yeah!

First actual HD game I played was Enter the Matrix (1080i) on the Xbox.

 

[LightofRohan]

Dead or Alive 4 on this baby (2005!!):

I was so proud!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I'm going to guess Rumble Roses or DoA: Extreme 2, just because we bought the 360 first and those were the first two games we bought.

No one ever believes me when I tell them I bought them because the lady of the house wanted to play them.

 

[schwabdizzle]

Overlord.

 

[xJavonta]

GTA IV

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

While I have obviously gamed on others HD sets. I only bought My first HD TV last week.

I did the majority of my HD gaming on pc monitors this gen via HDMI/VGA, so that kinda counts.

 

[tolkir]

This + Bravia

 

[RM8]

Some early F1 game on PS3. It was pretty, but boring as heck and I played Final Fantasy Tactics instead.

LOL reminds me of a guy I work with. He bought a HDTV and had it for over a year and one day we got on the topic of cables. He's not a gamer but had this HD cable box to his HDTV with red white yellow composite cables..... After I realized he was serious I brought him a spare HDMI cable to try the next day. Needless to say I received a phone call that night thanking me for giving him a brand new tv!

 

[TerminalDogma]

I can't remember the first game I played on an HD tv at like a friends house or anything, but the first game I played on my OWN HD tv was the first Mass Effect. I got a 360 for christmas and immediately went out and bought a fancy new tv to go with it. I remember being blown away, haha. Now it's all so normal.
