The Blackangel Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 What game had the biggest jump in graphics from its predecessor. I would say SMB2. In other places, SMB2 is what we call the “lost levels” here in the states, and our SMB2 doesn’t exist in said nation. SMB: SMB2: Mario marches like a damn nazi soldier in SMB1, but despite that it’s still one of the best games ever made. And you could pretty much thank Mario exclusively for saving gaming after the video game crash back in 1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Interesting pick! SMB2’s unique backstory definitely made it feel distinct visually and gameplay-wise from the original. I’d also throw in Final Fantasy VII to VIII - it felt like a whole new level of graphics in that series at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pick. The technical side of FFVIII was leaps and bounds beyond what FFVII had. The cutscenes were the greatest graphics ever seen to that point. We were all wishing that we had games that looked like that as a whole. Well with the AAA titles we have now, that wish has been granted. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion Posted Saturday at 03:36 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:36 PM I agree, SMB2 had a significant graphics leap! Another great example is Final Fantasy, where FFVII's visuals transformed the series completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
