    Last time I was amazed with graphical progress was with Unreal in 1998. And probably just because I hadn’t played Quake 2.

    From then on until now it’s just been a steady and normal increase in expected quality.

    Doom 3 might have come close (and damn, that leaked Alpha was impressive) but by the time it was released it looked just slightly better than everything else.

      Hmm I think GTA 3 , as an engine / open world environment was like a whoa moment from me. Then Modern warfare of course . Recently God Of War and Assasin Creed Odysseys rendition of Ancient Greece is quite spectacular.
