I don't think there's a worse aging, least worthy of nostalgia period of gaming than the PSX/N64 era. 1st gen 3D was a goddammit dark age. Every halfway decent game got a remake that was vastly superior to the original.

Who was it talking about remakes who said, "Can we fast forward to being nostalgic for hi poly count, crystal clear HD already?"

Gotta wait until 2030 for nostalgia for quicktime events and brown military shooters.

I think that's why most of these demakes have been horror games.

Who are these for? Supposedly, I'm in the correct demographic but I think it looks like puke. It's fine when it's actually a game you have actual nostalgia for, but this is just an exercise in copying an aesthetic. They nailed that I guess.

I don't miss textures that constantly blink and move even when the camera is standing still, personally. Good job though?

I have no idea. So many recent "Zennial" nerd nostalgia has bounced off me hard even though I'm the exact demo (every non-nerd from my high school class loves Ready Player One and I fucking hate it???).

The best retro throwbacks are ones that invoke the FEELING of the old games without faithfully recreating the shittiness. This trailer showcases everything that was shitty about 3D titles of that era. It would be like making 2D side scrollers with all the NES flickering and slowdown.

I wonder in 5 years if we're going to start getting early/mid 00s nostalgia for obnoxious overuse of lens flare and bloom lighting.


(Stories Untold was the most creative "feeling" recreation of an old genre: text adventures. It's just a shame that the text parser was so ridiculously shitty)
