I remember being absolutely floored by the first Madden game I played on the PS2

"It looks just like a broadcast". Maybe it did in the standard def days

In retrospect, least those games held up at 60fps than 80% of last gen's titles lololol

Some games with the prerendered background graphics still look great to this day. the RE remake and RE0 come to mind most.

I remember thinking graphics would never improve from NES. All my life, games have looked good in the moment. But then it becomes memories and they don't look as good. Makes me wonder if someday people will think current games have horrible graphics

It's worth noting that those old games did look better on CRTs than they do on modern screens - AND that realistic video looked worse on CRTs than they do on modern screens. Put those factors together, and the reactions people had back then - especially PS2 era - start to make a lot more sense.

We've also taken a step down. The west like to hide a cheap quality animation behind the guise of imitating anime. Hayao has a point. What we do nowadays is like the anti-thesis of Disney. Honestly, if I can really tell that what you made used CGI, then you really didn't do the trick. How many great cartoons look like a series of poorly connected still images to you? None?

Star Fox Adventures still looks pretty great these days. (And, yes, I have played it recently).

The bad thing about 3D games is that they don't age very well. Even some early PS4/Xbox One games I thought looked absolutely stunning look like dog shit now (maybe not dog shit, but nothing mind blowing).

I remember seeing WCW vs NWO: Revenge in a magazine, advertising entrances for the wrestlers, I was floored by the innovation. Even WWF Warzone, I thought looked incredible at the time and almost real.

Let's not laugh too hard. In 20 years, everything we consider state-of-the-art will look just as primitive.

I actually never really took in graphics until way later. Like, recently. I never was one to stop and take in settings or environments. So, I have no memories to share >_<. Now I play something like Ghost of Tsushima and RDR2 and just stand on mountains panning around for a good picture. Maybe I'll feel this way about those in 20 years.

Nah. Unless someone comes up with a brand new way of rendering 3D graphics, triangles have functionality hit the limit. Graphics being bad these days is a matter of the individual artists and budgets. Physics is the new area to start improving. Especially water physics.

I remember playing a NHL game on the PS1 and trying to convince my non-video-gamer cousin that it was just as good as watching the real thing. How naive child-me was. Though to be fair this was well before the era of high definition and large screens.
