Last time I was amazed with graphical progress was with Unreal in 1998. And probably just because I hadn't played Quake 2.
From then on until now it's just been a steady and normal increase in expected quality.
Doom 3 might have come close (and damn, that leaked Alpha was impressive) but by the time it was released it looked just slightly better than everything else.
Remember that one DNF trailer? It looked mindblowingly good back then.
Hmm I think GTA 3 , as an engine / open world environment was like a whoa moment from me. Then Modern warfare of course . Recently God Of War and Assasin Creed Odysseys rendition of Ancient Greece is quite spectacular.
