Do you think games have advanced from 2009-19 as significantly as they did from 1999-2009?

or 1989 to 99? Why or why not, and in what ways?

it had but then the 3DS died and we went backwards

Was the 3DS really such an advancement? Seems hard to think of it that way, considering its screen resolution

The most significant leap was 1999 to 2009. Games went from being crude graphically and having jank gameplay to being near photorealistic and setting the standard for what gameplay is today. Games like Crysis and FEAR are still competitive with games released in 2019.

1989 to 99 was more gradual, although transitioning from 2D to 3D was huge. Games also had to put more effort into world building with music, style, etc... than brute forcing with graphical prowess. 2009 to 2019 isn't a small leap either but it's much more subtle than the other two. Not for lack of effort, but in terms of noticeable results. I'm going to get shit on for saying this, but GTA V played on 2005 hardware just fine and is still one of the largest games in terms of scope out there. The graphical envelope has been pushed as far as it realistically needs to be, but the gameplay is still stuck mid 00s standards much of the time.

Do you think the gameplay stagnation is a matter of available technology, or just people running out of ideas until the next big revolution? (Full dive VR?)

>old game good
>new game bad

Thank you for your words of wisdom

>Gameplay
Neither regressed nor advanced as it isn't something that can really get better with time.

>Music
Waaaaay worse, nowdays there is hardly any games with memorable soundtracks

>Graphics
In parts, there are certainly very high resolution textures and texturing techniques that make things look less mud but it took it's toll on shadows, Unity is a good example, not even a black blob under the MC.

The lack of music comes from the whole "atmospheric" thing so many games go for now

Also the fact that everything is orchestrated now, so it all blends together

Why dont you post gameplay images?

It's likely your screen is making this image look better than the screens that were available at the time.

There is also more to games than just graphics. Physics, AI, services, etc.

the old game was so fucking ugly

You think that's bad? This is the first videogame I ever played. It's called Adventure. This was back when games often didn't have real titles. It was for atari 2600. I am 32 years old.

Games went from fun in 89 to fun in 99. Then from fun in 99 to shit in 19

>32

You were born after Nintendo. What is your excuse lmao

Oh BTW the player character is the yellow square. The green thing is supposed to be a dragon.

Cool seahorse sprite

I feel that 2D shouldn't have been abandoned. It could have kept getting even better. But everyone just threw it aside to jump to 3D.

Sorry, I have been out of school for awhile. Do they still teach math?

2019−1983(Japan release) is 36.
2019-1985(US release) is 34.

Compare the 3DS to the Gameboy Color.

What was the last "real" game era with soul here?

Early zoomer, everything after say, 2008 feels design by committee boring, just a product for the sake of being a product

t.born in 1996 so what do I know

You tell me, friend. If you're 32, that means you were born in 86/87. Is 1986 before 1985?

i am 33 and my first console was a colecovision.

I feel like the Vita or current tablets are a better contrast

Stereoscopic 3D was neat, but ultimately a gimmick

op image is misleading. THIS is the real difference between the two.

They haven't advanced.

Graphics and especially animation have advanced a lot since 2009

The technical advancement probably wasn't as huge but it was still meaningful, problem is game dev culture became much more corporate minded so games overall have gotten worse for the most part.
