Graphics Whores GTFO.
I was playing TMNT3 for NES the other day and marvelling how much MORE fun I found it than playing crappy latest generation games like Perfect Dark Zero. I was amused how my Xbox owning friend could only comment on how crappy the NES graphics were when I was busy marvelling how much more fun it was.
Also, I REALLY enjoy Chorno Trigger and FFIII (VI) much moreso than a number of games from later generations. e.g. FF VIII and Chrono Cross. I was very annoyed at people who whined about the graphics in CT when it was rereleased on PS1 because they obviously have no comprehension of gameplay.
Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike new games. I really enjoyed Metriod Prime and F-Zero GX but the hopped up graphics and 3D gameplay didn't make them surperior to their predecessors. Furthemore, it took Nintendo four tries at MarioKart to come up with a game which stands on par with the original.
I really think someone needs to draft a worldwide edict that relegates gaming technology back to it's 16bit side scrolling days for a decade so we can effectively purge the world of graphics whores and force game developers to focus on gameplay rather than pretty visuals.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
