Kinda used it on PS2 but that didn't last long because PS1 games aged like shit, even though they looked better on PS2. Same for Wii games on Wii U and most other systems. Even original Xbox games on Xbox 360 were just outdated. I mostly played Conker. Tried a few other games but technology moves fast. GameCube games on Wii didn't really do much for me, either. When I got a Vita, that kinda changed. I played a ton of PSP games on my Vita because PSP games still looked good. I think the 7th gen is where leaps finally started slowing down and things reached a point where they just look good from that point forward. Games from that gen still have online support, etc. In fact, 8th gen often felt like a prettier version of the 7th gen. Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U (I know it's 8th gen) games still look good. I LOVE playing 7th gen games on my Switch and I love playing 7th gen games on my Xbox One. Hell, a huge portion of my 8th gen library is just remastered versions of 7th gen games. |
You do make a good point Lewis, as game titles experience even further diminishing returns having BC is a nice feature to have, specially if the games can easily have improved performance due to their scalable design nature. Still publishers would rather resell remasters, right?
