Okay gear me out

:marseycope:

So, like, I feel the limitations of hardware kinda forces the kino out of games. I fundamentally want to agree with you, however I've played games that were similar to each other across the wii and ps3, and what I found was ps3 games often were bloated with cinematic moment and set pieces, where as the wii games were condensed and ripe gameplay without out padding to show off how pretty the graphics were.

I'm browsing through my wii games now, quite a few of them don't have motion controls at all or don't have any I can remember and the 2 I know do have them only use them for finishers and its just s flick of the wrist.

Animal :marseychinchilla2: Parade :marseysaluteccp: is from the Wii era. Nowadays their former localization company is using the English :marseybowler: name "Harvest Moon" to make shit basically knockoff games :marseygamer: that only sell due to brand recognition but the original series :marseychartscatter: is still going :marseysal2: under :marseyhole: the name "Story of Seasons"

Yes and no. A gimmick to me means something that adds no value to the game. It can be added or taken away and doesn't really affect the end result. Most of the games they mentioned are just fine without motion controls and arguably better without them.

Idk it was genuinely interesting to see how people managed to achieve stylistic graphics on limited hardware.

Today? Just slap a 6000x6000 texture on a 3gorillion polygon model, have the lighting render it "realistically", and call it a day.

Constraints lead to more creativity. It's why indie games are usually more interesting since they have to work with limited resources.

When games stopped coming with little manuals explaining the gameplay and lore I knew it was the end. Most of the interesting bits of Elder Scrolls were introduced with the pocket guide that came with Redguard. I had the first RDR map hanging on my wall for the longest time. Even Fallout 4 came with a little poster of the perk chart. Now it's just soulless cardboard disks with codes stamped on them for you to download the game from the store. Haven't bought a physical copy of anything since 2016.

Just look at the Suicide Squad game and Arkham night and its literally a downgrade in graphical fidelity.

Overall, gaming in the "AAA" sphere is objectively shittier now.
