Nail on head. Great post. Sums up what I was getting at with this thread. It's not all about raw power, it's about what you do with that power. For me, the introduction to Jet Set Radio (particularly when the camera pans around the Noise Tanks and the close up of the Detective) is still one of the most visually impressive things I have ever seen on a video game even 14 years later. Everything just slots together to make something that just looks so right, that no amount of extra polygons, effects or tweaking could improve it for me.
I'll try get Crimson Dragon added to the poll (it's my first attempt at a real discussion thread tbh).
