I remember seeing a Best Buy ad for it touting the “cinematic experience” of playing MW2 - and it truly felt like it, a real revolution in gaming.

However, I really stopped playing big titles since then. Are there any good “woah” games that took it another step further?

Titanfall 2 is a really good one. Not something I expected to have such a strong emotional element. I didn't know Vince Zampella's name, but it is another project of his, so it seems fitting to recommend it here.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (the original, I haven't played the sequel) was crazy good. Gameplay-wise it's fine, but story wise it is one of the most emotionally intense games I have ever played. I recommend going into it spoiler-free. Look it up and see if it's something you're interested in, and if you want to play it, stop reading and play it.

I also highly recommend Hellblade, as a deep emotional journey (but not the sequel).

If you are even slightly interested in celtic and germanic mythology and modern psychology, go for it.

Titanfall 1/2 and Apex Legends were all huge. He recently produced Battlefield 6 which was also released to acclaim.

A lot of it is iterations upon iterations, so it can be hard to pick out precise moments. There are great games out there.
