Lol no. They were beasting in the SNES era. DKC 1-3, Killer Instinct, Battletoads. I don't think most games in the 5th gen or even 6th gen hold up that well today. Goldeneye and other 3D platformers were a revelation back in the 90's but feel antiquated and just plain bad to control compared to modern games. Where most of the games on SNES aged perfectly. TLDR people need to put their nostalgia goggles back in the attic :P |
I kinda group 1994-2001 together as Rare's peak personally. I feel like there's more to it than just nostalgia; there's a fondness for things we played in our childhood, but there's also the impact of playing a game in its temporal context. To really appreciate a lot of games, you kinda need to take into account how ambitious and innovative they were in their time.
