Games that were graphically impressive for their time, but are ugly now.

It's very easy to trash 5th and 6th gen games, but honestly I think a lot of the great games of that era really used the limitations of the hardware to their advantage, creating a stronger atmosphere with the low-res textures. Can't help but feel the reason people think they hold up poorly, is because they don't know how to make them look good on a modern tv, or they have watched heavily compressed youtube videos uploaded in low resolution.
I played through the Panzer Dragoon trilogy on Saturn resently, and was blown away by the atmosphere, mysticism and lore they were able to create with their visual style. The remake of the first game threw all of that away. Also Night into Dreams' visuals have a dream-like quality that fits very well with the themes of the game, creating a brilliant atmosphere, that wasn't entirely preserved when the textures were updated for the 7th gen remaster.

Lots of people don't know anything about using RGB and/or Component connectors to make older games look better. I agree that the Panzer Series still looks pretty good for the gen it was on. The Saturn could easily outpower the PS1 if the developers knew what they were doing.
