This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

So you’re saying when say N64 was the cutting edge, everyone playing it was loving how new and realistic everything felt.

Now compare that to the younger generation that grew up with consoles way way more powerful and saw games that had fully fleshed out cities and citizens and systems to make places feel alive. So going back to tech that’s 30 years old feels very empty and unsettling by contrast?

I think this is exactly what's happening.

I thought every new generation of games looked "photorealistic" on release. Every time I thought it couldn't get more realistic, they got more realistic.

To be fair, now I can't unsee it anymore, after seeing it in that light.
