Are there any 2012 games whose graphics still hold up?

 

How about 2005 games whose graphics, or at least lighting and shadowing, are still better than 95% of modern games (with the 5% being games that support raytraced shadows). Click to zoom, as Quora’s resize algorithm doesn’t do the screenshots justice:

This is Quake 4, created by iD Software and Raven Software, running at maximum settings on an RTX 3070 with a Ryzen 5 3600X. I’m using the Quake 4 Tweaker to force max detail textures and to unlock the framerate, but nothing else, no mods, no up-rezzed textures, no nothing - that’s just the vanilla game above. I really cannot understand why shadow volumes weren’t more popular. At least visually, it’s obviously the superior solution to shadow maps (if sharp and accurate shadows are desired). Although I guess it doesn’t matter anymore, now that we can have raytraced shadows, which are superior to both.

Meteor Crater

  M eteor C rater , A rizona The Barringer Meteor Crater is the best-saved meteor sway site on the planet and it's an agitating spot. Exactly 50,000 years prior, a 300,000-ton rock consumed the air, hitting the Earth with a power multiple times more remarkable than the atomic bomb at Hiroshima. The ground softened right away, leaving an opening 550-feet down and very nearly a mile in width that can at present be seen right up 'til today. It resembles seeing the snapshot of effect frozen as expected and you can in any case feel the force. Be that as it may, it's moving as well. Barringer's Crater was the main effect-site decisively demonstrated to have been brought about by a meteor. It changed the manner in which we consider the stars, the planet, and maybe even ourselves. Looking across the edge of Barringer's Crater resembles confronting the incredible powers of the universe causes you to feel little yet part of something unimaginably greater than yourself.
