The lack of high resolution of the 5th and 6th gen gave those games an air of mystery and exploration, as they were filled to the brim with easter eggs, references, and other obscure and esoteric imagery added for fun that you couldn't immediately discern and identify. Small secrets designed to invoke curiosity and certain moods and thoughts.Players perceived the game worlds as a whole, through in-game cinematography and environmental storytelling rather than focusing on individual elements. All this gave way to urban legends, myths, and speculations. Those were the fun days.Modern games, on the other hand, are plastered with text and imagery on every surface that you're supposed to look at. That’s the new way of feeding your information. You don’t have to look at the larger picture anymore, just closely following the obvious is enough. By flaunting its high resolution games lost that sense of mystique. There are no more urban legends. Nobody is talking or speculating about games beyond the initial market hype. There is no more place for someone to go “is that…”Sometimes less is more.

>>731133815True. Zoomers will never get to experience good video games.
>>731133815not just that but the limitations in hardware, memory, resolution and what have you brought forth the best out of the devs. creativity is at its highest when there's constraints
Apparently Conker's Bad Fur Day had a naked picture of one of the dev's gf hidden in one of the areas
>>731137430their OST is fantastic, I love the haunting atmosphere of the rpd in re2 and the wails carried by the wind outside racoons city in re3
>>731133815The low resolution is less impactful than the fact that these games had the advantage of carefully choosing their camera angles.Information could be given to the player with the full confidence of them seeing the thing on screen, visual effects could be optimized perfectly under the assumption that certain camera angles would be impossible and gameplay could be perfectly optimized to assume that the player would always be able to press the face buttons.Backporting PC's mouselook to dual analog controllers was a mistake that the console industry has never recovered from, they should have just let PC have its exclusive genres like FPS, stealth games and immersive sims while focusing on their own shit.
