On top of that they had to dumb down the graphics to make it run on console.

And it occasionally ran at 24 fps, which I think is a phenomenal feat!

This from 360 gen and Arkham Knight from Xbox One/PS4 still look incredible.

Been replaying Arkham Knight lately. Yes it does still look amazing. The environmental destruction is pretty amazing as well.

We're rapidly approaching a time when 20 year old games will still look pretty good by today's standards. Really shows how much graphics have slowed down - used to be that 5 year old games looked hopelessly outdated.

When Doom was 5 years old we got Half-Life. When GTA2 was 5 years old we got GTA San Andreas. When Quake was 5 years old we got Halo. Pretty crazy.

It says a lot we've moved towards full PBR and raytracing, and it barely looks as impressive as Crysis did.
