honestly, i tried telling people this last generation when they tried to say the Wii was a joke. I always used to say, yeah, the graphics look bad now.. but the games will stand the test of time. Nintendo always does a phenomenal job of making their games timeless, and while a game like Gears of War was cutting edge and breathtaking in 2006, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which came out the same month, has aged much better and is much more playable than the original Gears, I honestly saw it coming from a million miles away.
I used to work with (who is now my best friend) a guy at gamestop who loved his 360 and always talked shit on the Wii. We both had all 3 consoles and enjoyed them, but he definitely loved his 360 by far the most and I loved my Wii by far the most. Well, 2 to 3 years into this generation, he has finally come around to what I have been trying to say all last generation about the Wii and its visuals. |
Twilight Princess? A GameCube game, looks better visually than Gears? Oh my.
As for the OP that's some pretty cool points, and like a few said here that really is the reason that (slightly more) HD remasters are a great thing when a new system rolls out, they can really show gamers that the new system they've dropped cash on is capable of shifting more polygons than their last gen piece of kit when compared using the exact same gameplay.
Was actually playing HD remasters of the Prince of Persia series last night on the PS3 based from PS2 era games, quite a far more enjoyable user experience when you have more processing power handling a game that was pushing the limits on the hardware it had been designed for first.
