From 1992 To 2012: Graphic evolution of First Person Shooters

This video shows off the original versions of the games that are featured – without any mods applied to them – rendered in actual resolutions of the period."

It has really evolved but in terms of genres racing or RPGs have improved more I feel.

I remember sticking in a 3DFX card for the 1st time (1996) - a real super wow time that transformed my gaming then ATI's R300 GPU was released in 2002 and we didn't have to put up with all those jaggies!

Wolfenstein < Doom < Quake < Half-Life < Unreal Tournament < Crysis

Isn't that about it really without digging into the 1001 other FPS games to go about.

< Unreal Tournament < Crysis

That's nearly right, let me add one more important piece...

< Unreal Tournament < Half-Life 2 < Crysis

There, that's better.

[caseh]

Lol, figured I had missed something but yeah that sounds about right:

Wolfenstein < Doom < Quake < Half-Life < Unreal Tournament < Half-Life 2 < Crysis

Revised :D

Quake 2, wow, Its been so long, Ive got fond memories of that game

What was the Star Wars game at the beginning? dont think ive played that one

[rankftw]

Quake 2 is one of the greatest games ever, played that game hardcore back in the day. The Star Wars game was a Doom 2 mod I believe.

[CommanderWTF]

Star Wars: Dark Forces

[mamotte]

Where did all the color go?

[Walker]

Killzone 2 is the best looking FPS game i've ever played !

[rankftw]

Then you need to get yourself a PC!

[MrDead]

Awesome, it has Project IGI in the vid.

[TechnicianTed]

Yeah that was a great game for its time. One of the first fps games to give you very large areas to take advantage of. Although I remember it having some excessive spawning in places, which is one of my pet hates when it comes to games.

[MrDead]

I remember IGI and Delta Force Land Warrior taking up a lot of my free time.

[Vladplaya]

Return To Castle Wolfenstein, still one of the best FPS games ever made.

[Pozzle]

Is it just me, or were FPS games much more creative back in the day?

[chak_]

uh?

You had destruction? You had nano suit? you had realism? You had whole landscape (arma)?

No, clearly no. Finding the blue key to open the blue door in a maze filled with monster wasn't imaginative.
