    I am more interested in physics than just optics. I want to be able to move the soil and dig everywhere like in Empyrion Galactic. Otherwise there is not much realism for me.

    This is a good video, keep up the good work, The reason everyone wants this era again is cos the current era is just woke propaganda being forced down your throat and up your rear end, Literally. People play video games to escape reality NOT deal with nonsense I can’t even get into here cos KZread will ban me or anyone if you don’t go along and agree with that mess.

    I really don't think games have changed all that much, or that anything was lost. The only thing that's changed is the child inside of us all grew up a little and lost a bit of focus on the magic.

    "Realism" has never made a game better. i have never once heard someone attribute a game's success to realism. games are extraordinary bc they are captivating worlds, estranged from laws and rules -- built by artists, who bend space/time to fabricate their dreamscape this has been lost after the Hollywood incursion into the $$ game's industry -- old men which are stuck in 2003 when everyone was raving about 3D graphics. No one fucking cares if Hellblade 2 looks like a photo. Hellblade 2 will not be remembered fondly bc it looks like a recreation of reality ppl play games to escape from reality. They don't want rules and limitations. They are a weapon in the war against reality. ppl want to see creative illusions. They want an artist to manipulate a bunch of pixels into a parallel universe they want to step into it. + honoring video game history is a virtue, not a sin. If you ignore the ppl who built the artform, you are destitute. the PS1 generation was special bc we had experimental, *creative* graphics. Artists made games up until around the 8th console gen, now publishers do

    I think there's 2 aspects to this : First is that obviously they leave much more up to the imagination. Which by the way explains why it works so well for horror games. Horror is at its best when it leaves stuff up for you to picture in your head. Second is that hopefully, over time, more and more people realize what matters in a game is to have fun. Sometimes it may require better graphics, especially for stuff like "interactive movies" (Until Dawn and the likes) but oftentimes having more clarity, charm, and a resolutely assumed art direction is just better. So many indie games, including some of those embracing older visuals, manage to give us worlds that feel so lively, interactive and vivid. Add to that the layer of imagination I mentioned earlier and people get to remember it even more, because they created their own mental image of what they played !

    Graphics are secondary, the most important thing of any game is gameplay. Daytona usa is the best racing game ever made. Super Mario 3, sonic 2 are the best platformer ever made, doom 2 and quake 3 cs1. 6, half life 1 are the best fps ever made. Super street fighter 2 turbo is the best fighter ever made. Graphics don't matter as long as they flow correctly with the gameplay

    Imagination fills the missing parts, so it feels more like your own journey, instead someone else's. When you read a book you feel it. When you play a board game, you feel it. When you play an Atari 2600, you feel it. The same applies here. As technology has improved, the balance has shifted more and more to the visual and narrative experience and less and less to the playable and imaginative, and that's a problem. I remember looking at the video game covers believing that what you were playing was remotely similar to them. And yes, that was the idea the designer wanted to convey, but it was your imagination that filled that hole. Nowadays you have to see to believe, and that's the problem, that everything is so close to reality, that you can only see the flaws, instead of letting your imagination run wild and focus on the playable. It's like watching a bad high-budget movie: you know there's a lot of money behind it, but you can only see flaws that it has.

    I don't want realistic graphics. If I want I go outside. I grew up with 8/16bit game consoles and they had much deeper games than most of those 3d games of nowadays! 8/16bit was the golden era of videogames, period.

    I think one of the biggest downsides to modern gaming is micro transactions. Instead of making a great game, developers are focused on squeezing as much as possible out of the player. I hate it. I refuse to buy those games. I don't mind paying for a game, but once and done is enough. There are so many great concepts that have been completely ruined by this model.

    Had a friend that loved Resident Evil, he convinced me to let him try Resident Evil 2 because he was spinning a night at my house. That game gave me nightmares which increased my fear of zombies, I just remember the sounds of zombie noises and them eating and even the Narrator saying Resident Evil 2 every time he pushed start at the opening screen. Till this day I’m scared of zombies but I’ve been playing the walking dead saints and sinners in VR to get over it
