The Sims looked pretty good from what I remember

Goddamn

Quake 3

Does System 12 arcade hardware count as retro? If so then Soul Calibur.

Psychic Force 2012

System 12?

Perfect Dark.

>>873414
This is the only answer.

>>873431
There other answers in the thread so you're wrong.

Best lighting, large vistas, best effects, detail textures. Only thing on this list that comes close is soul caliber and that's just polycount (which is easy when you only have 2 characters and tightly controlled environments.

The game that came out December 31st, 1999

I was pooping. It's cool, I got a keyboard in front of me now.

>>873493
I take that back, Soul Caliber didn't even look that good really. I was remembering with my nostalgia goggles.

Quake 3 could handle curved surfaces in a NURBs-like fashion, which was cool, but Unreal (or UT if you like, same engine really) beat it or was on par in everything else.

>>873531
Was that game actually released then or are you joking?

Unreal Tournament overall

On 5th generation consoles Jet Force Gemini.

On 6th generation consoles Soul Calibur.

>>873635
According to Gamespot at least. Other games include Mortyr 2093 and South Park Rally.

Stonekeep

Outcast

Conker's Bad Fur Day blew me away when I first played it. It looks just as good as the Xbox version.

Tomb Raider Chronicles for adventure/action gammes

Chrono cross for JRPG

I know it came out 2000, but Majoras Mask probably had the best 3D of its generation.

>>873764
nah, cut that out. I think Thief 2 deserves a mention, it was a directx 7 game that supported per pixel lighting and the lighting in it looked really good.

Maybe we shouldn't focus on the definitive best looking game of the year (undeniably quake 3), but rather really good looking games that have a unique trait that makes them stand out visually?

Probably one of those flat shaded polygonal arcade games from the early 90's before textures became commonplace. Something like Virtua Racing would be a good candidate.

When they discovered textures, the ugliness factor of 3D shot up by several orders of magnitude and 3D vidya didn't really recover until mid 00's or so.

I almost gave up modern gaming entirely when that happened.

>South park rally
why

>>873419
Damn straight arcades count.

Shenmue (1999)

>>874539
Dream cast games don't count

this

Unreal 1.

>>874539
best 3d forklifts of its time.

>>874618
That looks about as good as Quake 3, honestly.

And if you really wanted to say it looked good, you could've picked a screenshot that isn't so fucking dark.

"Best" is entirely subjective.

Sorry, not retro

Pic related, it's you

I'll just put it in the technicality pile.

>>873409
Weren't only the character models 3D?

Namco's modified Playstation hardware for arcade made to run Tekken 3.

>>874726
But it was released in 1999 and had been in development for years, starting out as a Saturn ga--

Ah, screw it. You autists will argue over anything no matter how wrong you are.
