Splinter Cell 1 to Chaos Theory looks like an entire new generation leap

Hitman 2 to Blood Money was also on the same generation but I dunno how well the PS2/Xbox version ran. IIRC it held up well

Gears of War 1 to 3 is also a large leap. By the time 3 hits you've got better visuals, a much larger scale and 4 player coop.

Uncharted 1 is just okay. Uncharted 2 is one of the best cinematic shooters of the generation.

Crash Bandicoot 2 is a massive leap from 1 as well.

Wind Waker is the better game, though. And its graphics aged much better.

Why would he be?

THPS3 was great but THPS4/THUG were peak of the franchise

THUG was great, but what did THPS4 bring to the table?

Game Boy and Game Boy Color are effectively the same console.

It's like the DS and DSi, and the 3DS and New 3DS. Slightly boosted specs but still the same for the most part.

Yeah the Game Boy Color came out 8-9 years after the OG Game Boy depending on your region. It's probably more comparable to the 3DS? A specific successor in a line of systems.

None of that matters. Gold/Silver can be played on the original.

Just as there are with DSi and New 3DS.

And as mentioned, GS can be played on the original Game Boy.

Basically any long running series. It would be harder to list long series that this didn't happen with.

Though to contribute: Halo 4 was the first game with prerenders that I believe could be confused for live action. Halo 3 wasn't even graphically impressive when it came out.

Nah. It's a little over 100 total. None of the main Pokemon games were GBC except Crystal. Saying Gold/Silver were GBC games is simply not a factual statement.

A bunch of repeats, but these came to mind:

Mega Man to Mega Man 2
SMB to SMB3
DKC to DKC2
Goldeneye to Perfect Dark

Not sure I agree the latter one is a better game, but at least in terms of scope/technical standpoint:

Castlevania to Castlevania III
Banjo-Kazooie to Banjo-Tooie

The Tekken series. The characters in the first game were frightening. Tekken 2 was an improvement and 3 was much better in terms of looks and movement.

To be fair maybe some people were thinking only in direct leaps. But it still works if you go from SMB2 (either version), especially the JP one since it's basically a SMB1 hard mode map pack

Seriously? Voice acting, reload animations, secondary fire, more guns including guns with unusual features, interactive training center, multiplayer challenges, more multiplayer customization + bots, blood splatter effects, etc.

Edit: Whoa, that's weird, when I quoted that it was just your original post, but by the time I posted it, it changed to your edit. Anyways, I think it was a big improvement in graphics too but that's not the only thing this topic is about regardless.
