Old Games with Great Graphics

I'm wondering, does anybody know of any old games that were exceptionally great for graphics quality when they were released?.

I'm surprised Midtown madness 2 looks so good for being from 2000.

[These are all mod cars, and a graphics mod installed, but point is you can make them exceptionally great. Also the city is stock]

 

Well, HL2 was pretty good for 2004.

 

Half-Life was pretty good for 1998.

 

gud graphix
best game evar

Both Gran Turismo 6 and GTA 5 look great for a PS3. Specially GTA, which has a massive open world map.

 

Is it just me or Is Gran turismo 3's graphics quite nice for how old this game is this game was released in 2001
Here are some images

 

Yes, it's really good.

 

I recall an old driving game called 'Wreckless' on the original XBox that had pretty good graphics. The gameplay was horridly arcadey, but the lighting, particles, and models were up to snuff.

 

Call of Duty 1 UO multiplayer. All CoDs after that sucked.

 

Nononono
Cod 3 was the last good one.
I've had so much fun in that game.

 

CoD 4 is the last good one in my books.

 

Doom and Quake were both cutting edge for their time. Half life, not so cutting edge but excellent looking (and playing) for the time, still had a few pieces of eye candy almost unheard of for the era.

 

Flatout 2 from 05 was pretty good with very little performance implications. Fouc looks much better but takes a mildly built pc to run. Nothing fancy.

 

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift has the best graphics of any game I've ever played. Launch title of the PS3, in 2006


Also Crimson Skies had amazing graphics and gameplay from a game in 2000

 

Midnight Club 3 had good graphics for a game that was released in 2004.

 

MC was dead to me since Rockstar bought angel and wrecked their engine =/

 

Meh, I liked the singleplayers on CoDs up to 4 but all multiplayer modes on all of the ones after 1 sucked. (I've never played CoD 3 or bothered with any CoD after 5.)

I still think that CoD 1 UO has the best multiplayer of any FPS game. It's not just the gameplay either, most of the players themselves are a little more mature than the 12 year olds that act like Dalek in the other ones. (More mature as in a lot of them have kids.)

 

We used to gather all the neighborhood kids and play local multi player with 4 controllers connected on Cod 3, and usually with more people than controllers. That was so fun

 

I loved playing DT Carnage on the PS2, and the graphics are pretty nice. It was released in 2008.

 

Nope, it was released in 2008.

 

You've never played most games newer than 2010.
