Strange how perception works. The last time I was really amazed by graphics was with Unreal. I could admire the castle in the intro for hours.
The Doom 3 alpha was astonishing as well. But by the time it was released it felt like just another gradual advancement among all the other games.
Maybe it's a console vs PC thing where console players would get and incredible leap with each generation whereas PC players saw all the steps to reach the next generation.
Man, Unreal was one of the leaps for sure! Loved that game.
Yeah, consoles tended to be bigger steps, but the steps get extremely small. PS4 to PS5 did not feel like a real graphical step at all to me
I remember the jump from Wolfenstein to Doom then Doom to Quake yeah good times.
