Games just arent what they used to be.

When you think about it, a PS1 game was 700mb and they were amazing and lasted forever, now you have 360 games at 8gb and PS3 games at like 30gb or whatever and they just focus on graphics and online.

I WANT LONG GAMES, 700MB ON YOUR DISK FOR A LONG GAME DOESNT TAKE UP THAT MUCH!

I'm with GommeInc, I prefer the middle. The fifth generation was awesome with games like Goldeneye, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Spider-man and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, and so was the sixth generation with Wind Waker, Smash Bros, GTA and so on. The N64/PS1 era and the GG/PS2 era where the best! These days everyones too obbessed with trying to be new, inventive and the best. Forget non-gamers! Who cares about Wii Fit, who wants a new eyetoy, just make some proper games for the fans who made you what you are today!

Rayman 1 on PS1 is best PS1 game EVAR.

You cant really compare retro gaming with current games, especially how they play and the social gaming side of them.

My view is that you can drone on about retro games being great and that games today are just fodder in comparison but if the game industry didn't develop I think I would have grew out of games a long time ago.

For me and alot of people retro games are enjoyable 80% because of the nostalgia you get playing them, thats a completely different feeling to playing games nowadays which is why I like both.

I agree with you, I do care about graphics but not as much as gameplay, Aslong as the game is good and gameplay is better Im happy

What do you prefer, the games today or the old games (SNES, N64, PS1)
I've been playing a lot of SNES games lately and their atmosphere, music and graphics are so simple yet the games in my opinion at x10 better than most of the stuff out there on the market today.

I used to love the PS1.

I loved sonic on sega, one game I will never forget.

Goldeneye was awesome, it wasn't realistic but it was fun. Shooting out computers and desks that exploded are cool Despite so many things wrong about them, and the levels were built nicely too. Nowadays it's all about jumping platforms rather than climbing a ladder or having difficults getting on a ledge. All those weird, surreal things made up old games. I'd love to see if someone can attempt to make a decent James Bond game like Goldeneye

If Sonic Team/SEGA love their 3D Sonic so much, they should do something like Brawl with Sonic, have a 3D Sonic in side scrawling game - at least that would be more interesting and speed worthy than the current, slow 3D Sonic

The consept was good, such as Super Mario on N64 or whatever it was called, back then it was good, but if they released the exact game on full HD graphics, then I'd obviously think this generations are better. Best old game has to be Tetris though.

Totally agree with you

OK so these are companies and companies want to make money but come on! We dont want a finger sensor that measures your vitality we want IMMERSIVE GAMEPLAY, each e3 now we will see companies knowing full well who backed them from the beginning and knowing exactly what real gamers want (not superficial wii sports / wii fit gamers) but still pump out a load of tatty casual games that last 1 hour tops with a very minimal amount of hardcore games on the side with actual long lasting content in them. We all should have left the console games market ages ago as without their real gamers there would be no base for the games industry and they may aswell change the name to "Life Style Applications"...
As of e3 2009 the only game platform without a gimicky motion controller is the PC
