It does seem to be nostalgia, for the most part.
Some games (like Syphon Filter) really do not age well. This applies to many PS1 titles, actually. What was amazing back in the mid to late 90s is just poor and inexcusable nowadays.
I find that SNES games have aged well, because that was the perfection of 2D gaming, as such. However, the PS1 broke into new territory, a "third dimension" without the faintest idea of how to control or work that third dimension. Games looked ugly. Camera was uncontrollable and often a harder enemy than any actual enemies in the game.
I'll take modern technology and HD graphics, less bugs and online over heart and soul and originality any day, thanks.
