Well you cant really compare that to today. What genres are there left to invent? I mean can you come up with one that hasnt been done? |
That's not my point. My point was that back then, it was fucking exciting as hell having all these brand new, legendary franchises and genre's being invented and conceived left and right. The whole idea back then was creating something brand new. That was the primary focus. You wanted to be the "first guy on the block" so to speak. There was a sense of limitless creativity. Hardware was just a tool to enable said creativity. When Sega ushered in the 16-bit wars, and bits became a selling point, it was still all about... ok... you've got these 16-bits but what are you going to do with them. Remember Game Gear? It got it's ass handed to it by Gameboy even though Gameboy was freakin' stone aged tech wise.
We need to be focusing on creativity again and forget this bullshit about framerates and resolutions. I mean, sure... we have to advance tech wise but if all we're focusing on is making COD 200 "now with more realistic bullets"... we're going in the wrong direction.
