Resident Evil (left) compared to Resident Evil Remake (right)

One gen apart.

Let's see who can top this one.

 

[Darkkahn]

What about GTA?

What about GTA?

GTA 2 to GTA 3 was an insane leap.

GTA went from a niche franchise to the juggernaut is today, after 3 released.

Easier to do in pre-rendered

still impressive

My vote is Metal Gear Solid to Metal Gear Solid 2

Man I cant stand fixed camera angles. At the time I loved these games but after experiencing real 3D I just cant go back

That being said Resident Evil 1 remake was peak although a Remake with Re Engine would probably be even better

Yeah I mean the 2D gen vs 3D will always be mega lol

 

[Plies]

 

[Stuart360]

GTA 4 and 5 vs the PS2 games. That is probably the biggest jump for me, and even today it still blows me away that those games are just one gen difference.

[ShadyAcshuns]

What about Super Mario 64?

 

[CrimsonTide]

Pong vs Intellivision and Coleco Tennis

Yuge! deatails like players, rackets, courts, and the crowd are all here. We have benches. We have it all.

Yet Pong is 10000x the better game lol

 

[Instant_Classic]

This is bigger than the Zelda comparison.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Also there's FFVI to FFVII.

 

[bad guy]

 

[Kenneth Haight]

The correct answer.

Rockstar changed the industry and are continuing to do so.

[Urban]

Dont tell OP about the jump from Gran Turismo 2 to 3

 

[CrimsonTide]

This GTA V pic looks more like Gen 9 stuff

EITHER way... PS2 vs PS3 GTA is huge, just not near what these 9th gen pics show. Gotta do it right with the real 360/PS3 pics!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Wizardry 6 (1990) vs 7 (1992)

Ultima 6 (1990) vs UU (1992)

GREAT posts in here

Not one 8th gen to 9th gen game

Tells you all ya need to know bout the wall we have hit

Eh I played GTA V on PS3 and it didn't looked like that

 

[Plies]

I mean, adding an extra dimension has to constitute for a huge leap.
A quantum leap, you might say.

I can't wait for 4D gaming.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

How about arcade generations?

Sega Heavyweight Champ (1976) vs Punch Out (1984)

Still massive, GTA V changed the game.

 

[PauloRoberto]

Mario Bros to Mario Bros 3 (yes, same generation, but whatever)

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

3D Mario and Zelda "changed the game" before GTA did.

 

[JimmyRustler]

The craziest thing about RE was that this was only like 4 or 5 years apart. Those were some wild times in videogames. Glad I was there.

There won't be something like it ever again.

GTA 3 literally crested the modern 3D open world genre...

Neither of those two you listed had anywhere near the same level of impact.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Same gen. Wake me when PC2 comes out that going to be nuts.

 

[Killer8]

2.5 years and no generations apart.

Splinter Cell:

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory:

 

[Nankatsu]

MGS1 to MGS2 visual jump is crazy, specially cinematic wise.

Last of Us Remastered Vs Last of Us Part 1.

That sure as hell ain't vanilla GTA V. Some real lighting mods going on there and what not.

Yes gens were shorter and output was faster. It was indeed only 5 ish years. And not to mention 4 mainline RE games since 1996, and a bunch of spin offs too.

It was a running joke in the late 90's-mid 00's

"buy a computer and it's outdated by the time you get to the parkinglot"

Not anymore. They last as long as you want them to last. Plays all the same games, maybe lacks RT and PT. But plays fine

 

[GrayChild]

Half-Life 1 vs. 2.

6 years apart as well. And no prerendered backgrounds:
