You guys don't ever play old games?

Postby Hopsinshadie » Jan 7th, '14, 14:18

Even though today's graphics are great, I still love to play all kinds of old games all the way back from PS2, PS1, N64, and even the original Nintendos. I think I'm just gonna get another PS2 so I can start playing all my old games again. God the memories. Did you ever play Apocalypse from PS1? That game was underrated I swear. I remember the days my little buddy would play it with me and he would always laugh when Bruce Willis said to the creatures, ''Suck ON THIS!!'', ''Oh you want SOOME too'', ''Come get some'', ''Bring it ON Baby'' or ''OOOh that felt good.'' Games like that were more straight forward and less of a headache. Too much meandering around in a video game feels like work to be frank. Honestly, I don't want to see gaming in 10 years because it's starting to scare me. If the graphics are improved, we won't be able to tell if the games are real or not.

Yes i love playing old school games and i remember Apocalypse, The end boss was a twat. Didn't Bruce also say "kill em all, let God sort em out"?.
Thing is with retro games though, most of them haven't aged well and you can only play them for like ten minutes before you get bored shitless and pissed off. My personal favourite is Doom :worship:

Those games aren't old enough.

The transition to 3D was great for the time, but the games (as has been said) didn't age well. Beyond that, they were pushing the limits of what they could do with the hardware at the time, so they sometimes had to make sacrifices that affected the quality of the game. That's not to say that graphics are what makes a game great; personally, I feel like the 16-bit games were some of the best ever made. It wasn't about graphic eye-candy, and FPS/Sports games hadn't become ubiquitous yet and polluted the industry with repetitive and uninspired bullshit.

Now is a great time for gaming, though. If you only view the industry as what the major publishers release on the consoles, it's whatever, but independent games are thriving like never before. The consoles have helped this more than anything else, but even with platforms like Steam (and the Steam box), there are ways for an independent game that is innovative and great to be successful and widely played. Oftentimes, these games are also inspired by the platformers or puzzle games of the golden age, so it's great to see that those concepts still play a role in the design of some of the most interesting releases that the indie devs are pushing out.

But yeah...not a big fan of the time between PS1/N64 and the last generation.

Abram said it best. The PS1/N64 era doesn't look well these days, but there are some gems in there (Super Mario 64 is still amazing, and doesn't look bad at all).

I disagree with y'all when you say the games didn't age well. Not many things age well when you've done them so many times. PS1 was like 15 years ago and I'm impressed because for 15 years ago, you still get almost the same quality. Now, games look so real that they look fake and not natural. They won't age well either after you've played it a zillion times. In fact I might not get a ps4 because after watching the demos on yt, I get it. It's nice, but lets see what ps5 brings. The graphics are so realistic that after a while I only notice the flaws. With the old systems, the control was more natural as well.

True and on point. I have Snes and sega emulators and i fux with a lot of the games, definitely aged nicely.
And yeah, the independent scene is growing massively thanks to the consoles, I played a great indie game a few months back that i got from PS Plus Called Limbo, great and inventive side scroller..

You're only saying that because you quite clearly you haven't grown with the games industry and you can't notice the glaringly obvious datedness of the engine the games where running on
