It genuinely looks 15 years ahead of its time.

Pre-rendered backgrounds so they could put more detail in the character models than they might otherwise. Though I found Half-Life 2 and Crysis to both be more impressive for the time they landed.

Of course, but those both released after REmake.

I'd be interested in counterexamples from those that voted "no"

Did Crysis come out in 2002? why do people in this thread keep bringing up random later games lol

Okay, my wording may have been confusing. Was REmake the best-looking game at its release date, March 22, 2002?

it's called REmake. pretty sure resident evil (2002) refers to the movie.

and yes maybe

REmake's official name is Resident Evil, and it came out in 2002, and there's another game called Resident Evil, so it's Resident Evil (2002).

I'm trying to think of what came out during and before 2002 that would be a contender.

Playing remake on the gamecube in 2002 as a kid made my jaw drop. But from a pure 3D/technical perspective, I'd have to give it to MGS2.

Remake is really up there, but I still have to give props to the dreamcast's 1999 soul calibur. A console port that looked better than it's arcade original in every way and was wow'in everyone at the time with it's graphics. Soul calibur's dreamcast version truly felt like it was on some next level graphics since the only other consoles out at that specific moment was the nintendo 64 and the PS1. The PS2 came out in march 2000 and started flexing with tekken tag tournament, but until then soul calibur was were it was at.
