Last gen games are unplayable.

um.............

congratulations?

I'm sorry that you've lost sight of the reason most of us play games...and thats to have fun, not stare at "teh pretty graphics".

Well judging by your NMH analysis ( :lol: ) you don't know the difference between technical graphics and art style.Tiefster

Well personally, I agree with the poster to a certain degree. I mean, I know graphics don't make a game but it goes a long way. NMH was pretty bad graphically but the gameplay of the Wii altogether saved it. Art style has to be backed by atleast some technical prowess like Eternal Sonata or even Windwaker.

I'm sorry.....Here is a hug does that make you feel better?

If NMH was on teh 360 or PS3 it would have looked like high end art.

Man that sucks for you.

But i have been playing 360 games for a year and I still find NES games playable so it is just personal Opinions. I just can't play 2600 games because I never played them when I was little also you can't tell anything apart in 2600 Games but for NES games as long as you can tell things apart it is still playable IMO.

And that's why graphics have always been the same from gen to gen, right? No one cares what the game looks like so the devs just keep the graphics the same. Right?

Wow... just... wow

I'm having trouble comprehending the way you think. It's just... baffling.

glad i'm not you then because theres a lot of awesome games from the snes to ps2 era i still haven't played that i'd be dying to enjoy

and to anyone who thinks NMH would actually look good on a next gen system, please point me to the budget which reflects high production values

After two years of gaming with an xbox 360, it's painful to see PS2 era games in motion. I don't even have my ps2 hooked up anymore. I guess my eyes have just gotten used to HD content. Like DMC is a buffet for the eyes, while No More Heroes looks like paper cutouts a third grader made filmed in stop motion. At this point I only find the PS3, and the 360 as consoles worth buying.DiGiTal-PiMp

Sucks to be you.

classics are classics, regardless of graphics. .obsolete2k1

Nice rhyme ;)

Unplayable? That's quite an extreme statement. :?

And like one guy said "classics are classics, regardless of graphics"

congrats on missing the point. I enjoy high quality graphics as much as the next person (I'm currently building a new pc pretty much just for crysis), but if a game focuses on its art style rather than its technical direction than I can still enjoy the game. Or if the game is old, and doesn't look good by today's standard, it doesn't bother me because I'm not going to judge something on an unfair basis like that. I judge the game based on how FUN it is. Did I spell that out for you clear enough?

You seem to be such a shallow gamer. I have actually gone back and invested money on some old PS2 titles that I missed. About 4-5 months ago I picked up Psychonauts and played it on my PS3 and it was amazing. The gameplay and story just pulled me away from Rainbow Six, Resistance and everything. I played it soley for 4 days till I beat it. It was a fantastic gaming experience.

Then recently when I bought DMC I was debating getting either the regular version or the collectors edition. Well I opted to spend the price difference on buying DMC regular edition and ICO. ICO once again is an amazing game. I can easily go back and fourth and no let DMC's HD appeal ruin the beauty of solid gameplay and artistic style.

Good games never go old.

Wow, it must be terrible to be you then. I don't know what I'd do if had to limit my gaming choices to the 360/PS3 since virtually all the games I play are from pre-2000. Ah well.

*goes back to HoMM 3*

not really.....

Funny stuff.

Yes, there are some classics that are fun to play (every once and a while). SMB, for instance. Some of the oldest, worst graphics but fun to play. Especially if you played it new.

But acting like this is commonplace, that most people that own a PS3 and 360 like playing their old games so often, is such foolery. While some games are classics, you can usually find a like game in teh current gen to offer as much fun with "now" technology. And that is what most prefer.

Think of it this way: I'm standing in line for the new Star Wars movie. It's 3am and I'm wearing my Yoda suit. I look left and right, people are all dressed up and excited for the movie. Everyone talks about how they watched all of the other episodes to be ready for this one. This is a big deal. Everyone must dress in Star Wars suits, wait in line all night, and watches all of the other movies before going to see a new Star Wars release. How stupid is it for me to assume that?

Yes, there are those that are that big of Star Wars fans that do all of that stuff. They dress up, they wait in line all night, they watched every prior episode before seeing the new one. But most people just go see it when they can. Most people don't dress up in Star Wars outfits to go see the movie. most people just go watch the new episode going off of their memory on the old ones, not sitting for 8 hours watching them all.

If you want to base your thoughts on what is normal off of what you see here in SW or what you see amongst your other "hardcore" friends, you're wrong. It isn't the norm.

Poor soul.

He must of started gaming in Generation 6. :lol:

yeah... have fun playing lair, ill just be over here playing my oh so inferior RE4Silenthps

Right. Cause Lair is the only game out this gen, right?

Way to pick the weakest game of this gen to make your point. Wouldn't look so good if you used Gears, Uncharted, or some of the other heavy hitters from this gen. Or how about RE5?

I suppose you'll skip RE5 to keep playing RE4. After all, its not about teh graphics, right? No way they improve gameplay from gen to gen.

that must be why VC XBLA and PSNetwork games are succesfull??

a game does not need pretty graphics to be fun, and a fun game does not need preety graphics to be a game. If you think i am wrong go look at the games on the Wiis VC and the 360s Live Acade.

It sucks that for you, graphics = gameplay.
