Which do you think was better, the first gen of 3D or HD (and why)

[SvennoJ]

3D gen for sure. Early HD games were just the same games but more brown / monochrome in higher resolution. PS1 / N64 brought so many new experiences while perfecting 2D games like Heart of Darkness, Oddworld, Castlevania, Paper Mario, Super Smash Borthers. And of course FF7, OoT, MGS, Wipeout, F-Zero X, Tombraider, Driver, Silent Hill, GT, Banjo Kazooie, Conker's bad fur day, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Wave Race, Pilot Wings and many more.
