>be 1996>"here's those breathtaking life-like 3D graphics I was telling you about..."Why couldn't video games just let 3D bake in the oven a little longer and do more high fidelity 2D games instead of...this?
But we would have nothing to remake now

So we can reach the era of photo-realistic stagnation faster?
it looked good and revolutionary when it was new. you're looking at old things from modern day perspective.
>>738935016Ff7 looked like shit even on its time
>>738935350This. There's numerous better looking PS1 games. The blocky chibi models were a bad choice looking back
Because whoever got to it first would be the standard setter and get first mover advantage It obviously paid off for both FF7 and Mario 64 because they got legendary status while being absolute shit at what they're purported to be
Dumb fucking zoomer. This was already in the arcades by 1996.
>>738936553noone cared about arcades the second the nes came out except for poors and boomers
>>738934403In 1996 people like you were corrected with physical violence and shunned via social stigma. It was a beautiful time.
>>738934403>why didn't devs just not push boundaries and stop innovatingpost hand and passport
>>738934403Because they had access to new things and they wanted to play around with them to see what they could do.Of course it resulted in some truly ugly things like the character models in the overworld in FF7 for example. But they had to start somewhere.
>>738934403When people talk about the graphics in Final Fantasy games, the FMVs were the jaw dropping moments. Old Blizzard was the same way, those old Blizzard cinematics went HARD. The old WoW intro cinematic from 2004 still looks better than most new games.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlVSJ0AvZe0
>>738934403the battle scene models look great though
>>738937332Embrace fascism. Return.
>>738938881for me it was the parts where they mixed fnv and gameplay, like the parachuting or the camera pulling up when the the plate is about to be dropped
