FinalFantasyXIII said: Yeah imho I honestly think old/older games are overated because of memory/nostalgia. Heck Chuckie Cheese was awesome back in the day. Eat pizza go play Final Fight, Street Fighter 2, TMNT TIT and Mortal Kombat! woo hooo! But would I really want to go there today? Probably not. Also there is emulation that can be done for basically free with most mid priced laptops and desktops can run PS2 or Wii games upscaled with AA etc. perfectly fine which actually trumps the NEED to pay for older games imho. Is there a market for old/older games? Sure! yet it is imho a very small market. Should the PSNow exploit it for profit? Maybe it's up to them if it worth thier time and they can turn a profit. People on a site like this and most other ones IGN etc. WANT to see the big NEW games and the BIG NEW NEWS about them, not the ancient games of the past when compared to the NEW stuff. There's memories and there's the actual game and the memories are made up of the newness we experienced back then and playing them again there is a huge glaringly obvious fact that the is fun but not NEW and EXCITING like your memory believes. If that makes any sense. Don't get me wrong there is some classics that are timeless, but there are very few of them sadly. |
That is why you must keep the past in your memories, trying to revive them will only led up to disappointment.
