What Was The Most Dramatic LEAP In A Console Generation For You?

[Kamikaze Revy]

Most dramatic was experiencing PSVR.
Honorable mention to the first time I saw Mario 64 and the first time I saw the cutscenes on Heavenly Sword for PS3.

[Mr Hate Coffee]

First time I saw NFL 2K on Dreamcast on an HDTV... was truly a transcendent experience.

Also the first time I saw Descent (or maybe it was Forsaken) running on a 3dfx card back in the late 90's.

Maybe it's just me but I don't remember HDTVs being out back then. I could be wrong tho.

n64 to dreamcast

They had just come out and were still like $20k.
I saw the Dreamcast on display at Best Buy.

PS2 to Xbox 360

It was 09 and I was still playing flabby ass 2K9 on PS2 when I got my 360 around Christmas and got GTA IV and Live 10 it was the craziest thing I've ever seen. And on top of that I didn't have an HD TV in my house so when I went to my dad's house and played it on his 50 inch 1080p TV I damn near passed out.

NES to SNES


Games were actually fair instead you losing to bad programming

2D to 3D or 32/64 bit to 128

 

[Black Magisterialness]

The 16-bit era to the 32-bit era was dope. But moving to full 3d created more scope. You went from pre rendered games or games with draw distances of a PGA putting green, to full lush 3d environments that were free to be explored. I remember playing shyt like MGS2, Devil May Cry and the sort going "How the fukk can it get better than this?"

N64/PS1 >> DC/PS2/XB/GC

Dreamcast was mind blowing,

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Definitely the jump from the SNES to the N64. No contest.

Easily gamecube to xbox 360. I knew i was in a new gen when I saw the graphics. I didnt feel that way this gen with my PS4 and Xbox one.

2nd biggest jump for me. While the graphical update was great, it was the jump into online gaming that blew my mind. Playing COD4 in a party with my high school crew was just incredible for me at the time.
