No. As someone who experienced the 80's/90's, I'm pretty confident that that game will never come out for me. I've played what is considered the best of the best over the last two generations and not once did it match the sense of discovery, innovation, freshness, and how-the-****-is-this-even-possible moments of the some of the games that came out during the golden era. The last time I played a game like that was the sixth generation. It's been that long. So if there is something on the horizon, it certainly won't come out on standard consoles. It'll have to be VR or some uninvited new tech, and we're not even close to that yet.

Well now my curiosity is piqued lol. What are some of those “how the heck is this even possible?” games you allude to?

There are too many to name, but the poster child for that--in my experience--will always be OOT. I've tried articulating it for a younger crowd, but no matter how hard I try, it never comes close to what it felt like to play that game for the first time. Magical is kind of a cringe way of putting it, but that's as good as I got. When you go from what was out at the time to stepping into that world, that game? You weren't just experiencing a new car. You were experiencing a whole new vehicle. It was insane.
