As those games were before my time, I keep thinking did people genuinely think those graphics looked realistic? Because for me even growing up with the PS3 and PS2 I didn't think they looked particularly that good

Nobody thought it looked "realistic". But it was insane how fast the technology was improving. They weren't comparing it to reality, they were comparing it to games of just a year before.

And honestly, it was really impressive to see.
