I find going back to PS2 difficult. Only did it at any length with GTA 3, and it was a five knuckle shillelagh to the breadbasket. Took a bit to get over the shock of it's looks/performance. I still play on PS3, but mostly EDF 2025, and Yakuza 5. I tend to move on to the new stuff, so BC means very little to me. Plus, I keep my systems now, so if I want to play something older I can, which further negates BC's usefulness. That's just me though. I get that others have more use for it.

In a genre where game-play has improved with advances in technology?  I don't see why, not unless they have no access to newer games or they're one of those gamers who try to convince themselves that older means better.  I loved the first GT games and played the hell out of them but I see no reason to go back to them.  His example doesn't work universally but it does work relative to the games he referenced.

That's what I asked when I tried Gran Turismo 5, my first and last Gran Turismo game.

He's coming off as more of their Aaron Greenberg to me, since he doesn't have nearly as much control over the brand as Mattrick did, though I doubt the quote sounded nearly as bad when he said it. He was probably trying to make a joke, but without being able to tell if he was light-hearted or not it comes off as old games look clunky and terrible. 

When? Would you replay  GT1 for more than an hour if it were to become available on ps4? That's his point.

Come on. Some people like the way games were designed in earlier generations. We don't need to convince ourselves that older means better. We actually believe it. 

I think game design peaked in the 4th, 5th, and 6th gens. I didn't need to do any mental gymnastics to believe that "lie." I played the games and prefer them, in general, to modern ones.

As for Gran Turismo, there are many reasons one might prefer the older installments. Maybe the newer ones include progression that's more tedious, maybe they include new modes that are boring, inferior track design, poor music selection, long loading times, etc.

Game design and technology don't move forward in a 1:1 ratio. Games get prettier graphics and more realistic physics, but modes are dropped or tweaked; single-player is diminished at the expense of multiplayer or vice versa; level and track design change, for better or worse; and so on.

Maybe some just prefer the old mechanics?

Why would anyone want to game on a Playstation?

Hey internet, some might not understand what to think when a soft spoken man is asking a question like this.....

I'll ask again. When?
