This era was when vidya peaked>short dev times>constant experimentation >devs could actually afford production values and artists >didn't need to sell 100M copies to break even >forced to be creative against limitations >etcWhat a wonderful time for games, post your favorite from the era
games don't need to look better than ps2 era, they tried to turn it into a movie industry but turns out cooking games for 6+ years is a gamble with really bad odds

No one wants a game that is cheap and tacky looking. the only people who know this are asian. They at least always try to make their exports look polished before release.
