What was the last time a game made you go "whoa that's fucking new" or "whoa that's fucking cool" or both

What was the last time a game made you go "whoa that's fucking new" or "whoa that's fucking cool" or both

With gameplay mechanics, graphics, music, anything

I cannot remember.

Katana zero

Glados monologues from Portal 1. Maybe not new but I enjoyed the writing.
Yes, it was 2008.

>whoa that's fucking cool
ratchet and clank rifts apart
I know its not "new" because titanfall did it before, but it was still having 2 different "time periods" in a level that you could swap between was just as cool as it was in titanfall 2
I really wish there were more next gen only games, making games for ps4 is limiting the fuck out of them

Breath of the Wild

Parallax in Contra Hard Corps.

Rimworld with A Rimworld of Magic installed.

I got a Geomancer and taught it a spell to summon a meteor. Before I cast it for the first time, I leveled it to the highest level without any sort of skills to reduce the cost of mana.

When I cast the spell, it summoned a fuckhueg meteor 15 tiles across with a center of pure uranium. It also made the magic caster go into a catatonic state from sheer mana exhaustion, and it had to be rescued by another colonist.

Unironically, Death Stranding.
I didn’t finish it though.

Dyson Sphere Program.
>inb4 chink game
yes I know, but I just managed to get my first three orbits of Dyson swarms launched plus a functional interplanetary logistics system.

hearing me and my friends singing the ginyu squad theme song while sinking a twitch streamer while he double facepalmed in sea of thieves before they fucked it up with streamer mode

super auto pets

Post the exact moment, not just the game name because it means fuck all to people who didn't play it

Intravenous

I think it must have been back in 2009, with the original Demon's Souls on PS3.

i like when you can make a waypoint on the map and your car or horse or whatever will auto ride there. been playing rdr 2 recently and liked doing this

Boneworks VR or the Mario 64 RT mod

The area of Liurnia of the Lakes. Having Hogwarts in the background constantly was cool

Just recently, Tales of Graces F. The combat is absolutely fucking nuts and I love it.
Before that, playing around with NEO TWEWY and discovering that Frozen Fatality works with time-stopped enemies.

dark souls when you went into a huge area and at the end you somehow are at the beginning again

Factory games.

>Can't remember when or if I was ever in absolute awe since Lost Planet 2
It came out too early
Now MH makes so much money, they have no reason to release what is essentially already MH but with tomato soup and guns

Caligula 2 having lyric videos playing in the background during battle.

Earlier today, when I bought Talos Principle and was amazed at how enjoyable and well-crafted it is.
Granted, i'm only at the beginning, but it felt great playing it.

When you fight the Archivist in Inscryption and you have to choose files on your own computer during the fight, they become cards, and if they die that file is deleted from your hard drive. Windows antivirus popped up and told me he detected a threat during that fight. Very novel and interesting concept. I chose my 6gb recovery partition which created a really strong card on the board that would delete 6gb off my ssd if it died.

black ops 1, 3, portal, minecraft, binding of isaac, terraria, assassin's creed, dying light,

Sekiro.
Blocking mechanics are super satisfying. A true test of skill and technique. None of that cheap silly-looking i-frame rolling.

Dark Souls 1.
Played it for the first time a year ago and it really is a fantastic game (despite its flaws).

>no tales of graces F remaster on switch
It’s a perfect candidate. I wonder if vesperia sold poorly.

Fuckery with perspective like Superliminal or The Witness

I still do not understand how Sekiro's system works. Sometimes I kill everyone easily, sometimes I can't even a bigger-than-average NPC.

>Dark Souls’s multiplayer system (yeah I know it started with DeS but DS was the first one I played)
>Monster Hunter games splitting the quest reward four ways if you have four players. Always though that was cute
>Bloodborne’s Insight mechanic revealing monsters and sounds that weren’t there before. Wish they went all out on this mechanic instead of half assing it
>Cave Story’s title music changing depending on how well you did in-game
>OFF letting you switch sided at the last minute and kill the player character
>Undertale remembering past saves
>Just about everything in Metal Gear, from Ocelot warning the player not to use Auto Fire during torture segment, Mantis looking at other games you’ve played, Raiden throwing away the dog tags with the name you chose, etc.
