I've brought something like this up before. It seems like back in the day with the PS1 and N64 (using a CRT), my mind had to fill in the blanks more, and that went a long way toward connecting with the game in a way that started to decline during the 360 generation. For some reason, GTA 3 felt more "real" to me than GTA 5... even though it was like a cartoon by comparison. OOT as well. It felt more engrossing to me than BOTW.
I bet there is science behind it. Something to do with forcing the mind into using more of its imagination etc. Would be interesting to study it.
