What was the most revolutionairy game for graphics?

[Tro]

I wonder what game was the most revolutionairy with it's graphics. (Apart from the upcoming The Division, I think that game will break all graphics-records)

I thought about this alot and maybe it was something like San Andreas? 

I would love to play that game if it was really a game-changer so to say. 

 

(Sorry if posted in wrong subforum, I think game graphics are tech-related right?)

Crysis when it first came out.

 

Can it run Crysis?

Crysis...

 

Darn it @MatheusSanzo you just got in there before me

Crysis to show how heavy it all can do, and now It's Star Citizen.

[kristaps552]

Crysis, no?
Used to run it on my Pentium D, I still don't know how it worked.

More than likely Crysis.

 

But both the Half Life games were pretty revolutionary both with graphics and technology.

Ahh crysis... I play crysis 3 alot but i'll check out the first one too then.

Every will say it and I have to agree. The most revolutionary game was Crysis. The game was so intensive that even today it is still regarded with great respect by the gaming community.

until this day, still the question that is asked.

[Andrew0472]

hahahahahaha

cod ghosts on ultra settings because of mantle which gives me 200 fps compared to 20 on directx

Slowly it is now becoming Star Citizen to replace the name.

Honestly , Battlefield 3 was really AMAZING when it just came out. I remember showing my cousin gameplay on Ultra and he was like : Why is the movie all blue. LOL

What @cartdog said. Also I'd add bf1942. With that game a line was drawn in the sand as half the graphics cards available didn't do t and l. And farcry was heavily used in GPU comparisons For things like foliage rendering.

true but it took many generations of GPUs to run crysis at high at 1080p  with 60+ fps

 

it might take start citizen faster than how long it took crysis

We don't know. Hell, SC is being partnered with AMD and NVIDIA so both tech in place might make the advancement in graphics in the game much higher than expected and besides, this isn't the final product! If I get a 780 then It will possibly struggle later on.

I really hope it's as good as they say it'll be. I really want to give my system a run for it's money lol

[s3ns3]

crysis no doubt 

[felixbearpig]

Any N64 game. That was the first time Graphic went 3d on a platform that was accessible to everybody.

[StormtrooperStu]

It's been said already but Crysis broke the mold, also melted more PC's than any other game.  I remember waiting about three years to play that game. 

Even after all this time it is still an amazing shooter. (Who remembers the sharks)

Duke Nukem 3D, Doom 3D. Well ahead of the curve. It really depends on what we are talking about here. Are we talking about graphics for the gaming industry or modern day examples of computing power. A very open ended question.

They're both just copies of the game that created the FPS genre which is "Wolfenstein", although they're all Apogee games, but my vote for most revolutionary is Mario 64, it shaped 3D gaming and level design as it is today.
