Honestly though, to address the OPs question... I have no freaken idea how we did it. I have a massive collection of PS2 and original Xbox games and yet I find myself not really wanting to replay them. I have classics like Ratchet & Clank, Hitman: Blood Money, Prince Of Persia etc. and I find myself buying the PS3 HD remakes because they just don't feel right any more. There's just something about pre-7th gen gaming that feels out-dated now and I say that fully aware that I actively collect both Saturn and Dreamcast games. What I think it most interesting though, and I'm not sure if I'm the only one who gets this but I find PS2, PSOne etc. outdated and looking a little worse for wear, and I find 8-bit gaming outdated, be it Atari, NES, or Master System; yet the 16-Bit era... Mega Drive, SNES, some early PSOne/Saturn 2D games (Castlevania: SOTN, Metal Slug X, and Spot Goes To Hollywood for example), these all seem timeless to me. Perhaps it's because I was old enough to appreciate them but young enough to feel nostalgic for them, but I can play games like the ones I mentioned; or the likes of Streets Of Rage, Donkey Kong Country or Kid Chameleon and they feel just as good as ever... |
I think it's because the SNES / Mega Drive era is seen upon as the pinnacle of 2D gaming, while PS1 / N64 was a really early 3D era. Though I have different feelings than you, I like many games from mostly every era.
Yep.
