There not a single modern mechanic that a ps2/xbox couldn't handle.
Besides graphics, video games stagnated 1/4 of century ago.

Games became too expensive to make so studios don't want to take risks anymore unless it's to push their ideology that's the one thing more important to them than money is.
pretty much every genre has already bean crated
If Darkwatch were released today, it would be on par with Nu-Doom in terms of gameplay.
member when you played red faction guerilla and thought it would the baseline of every open world game in the future
I reckon the physics in games like besiege and the new legend of zelda games would be hard to do on those consoles
you walk around and shoot so that means everything is the same
Holy retard, and I despise most modern games
darkwatch
based game! I miss that era
environmental destruction makes storytelling exponentially harder
There not a single modern mechanic that a ps2/xbox couldn't handle
PS2 wouldn't be able to handle Dead Rising amount of zombies and that affects the actual gameplay. Look at the Wii version for example
video games stagnated 1/4 of century ago.
Cause you dont play on VR and instead play with what you are familiar with
The PS3 version of Shadow of Mordor left out the Nemesis System because it was too complicated.
PS2 wouldn't be able to handle Dead Rising amount of zombies
rec some vr games
Dwarf Fortress
Factorio
Any other game that experiences FPS death by the end half of a save from the sheer volume of things going on that have nothing to do with graphics.
Into the radius
this game is kino coop just like timesplitters
lmao no
Post a Dynasty warriors 4 screenshot where there's more than 30 enemies on screen at once
ok, what about good games?
Darkwatch
Then don't tell a story, it's not gonna be good anyway
PS2 wouldn't be able to handle Dead Rising amount of zombies and that affects the actual gameplay.
The last game that could handle this many units onscreen all smashing the shit out of each other was Mount and Blade. The PS2 was capable of doing a few things with the right amount of tweaking involved. You won't see the average UE5 sloppa rendering that many units on the screen without it shitting a cinder block.
Giving agenda to players
Have you lost your fucking mind?
i remember when i thought the next gta would allow me to enter and destroy every building with a rocket launcher, then gta 4 launched
Arken Age
When the industry was full of Jews but not the other three groups, video games were awesome and constantly pushing boundaries.
Obviously the Jews aren't the problem group here.

Incredibly mid taste and prone to fotm. I'll stick to Stellaris and arena shooters.
I remember playing Phantasmagoria back then and imagining that the future would be a mix of graphics and real-life acting.
Today I find it strange that they spend money and time animating the characters with mocap actors when they could simply film the live-action scenes with the actors in costume and include them in the middle of the game.
Kind of like Alan Wake 2 does.
Imagine the carnage
So making movie games into actual movie games?
Half-Life 2 on the original xbox.
Kinda, my point is: why waste time and resources with animations and motion capture, when you can hire a studio and actors and simply film everything?
It doesn't matter if the in-game characters don't resemble the real actors of their counterparts.
Besides, a movie cutscene would take up much less space than a graphic rendered cutscene.
Is Xbox emulation good enough to play this game yet? I don't even want to bother with the fugly PS2 version.
It makes level design harder too, but developers have mostly abandoned it as a concept anyway in favor of either open world or hallways
Game design ran out of "free" innovations from hardware leaps.
Western devs became dominant in the 7th gen. >Western devs prioritize graphics/stories over gameplay
Budgets exploded during the 7th gen, making developers risk adverse. Copy the latest trends formulas, design-by-committee instead of passionate Directors, etc.
Budget increases and industry growth led to team size bloat. SNES/PS2 games made by a team of 50 passionate people in 2 years is out the window. Now you get 1000+ people teams in a sterile corporate culture.
It's incredibly damning games from 20 years ago (e.g. Morrowind) have more depth in game design than modern sequels. Baldur's Gate 3 blowing every normalfag's mind simply by having CRPG game design from 1990s/2000s will never not be funny to me.
what's the problem with the ps2 version?
it runs at 60fps
The real problem with the PS2 versions is it dropping to single frames the thr town level near the end. But it do look like ass also.
I get your point, and I had expected the same development back in the Night Trap era. I'm glad we didn't, though, because having the characters in cut scenes look like they do in game turned out to be important to me.
Aside: As a little kid, I remember seeing Dragon's Lair, and wondering why none of the other games looked that good.
Evil... old as time, spreads like a plague, corrupting the hearts of men.
For millennia, there have been those who stood against it.
A secret organization to protect mankind. They are the frontline in an unholy war.
They are...
the Darkwatch!
Remember when crackdown 3 was announced and the entire city would be destructable?
How did that turn out? I barely remember it releasing.
I remember playing Red Faction and being appalled that no other game for years let me dig tunnels in the 3d environment.
Besides graphics, video games stagnated 1/4 of century ago.
What happened?
Around 2004 CPUs stopped improving. So we had to just add more and more CPUs and try to parallelize stuff. Unfortunately you can't parallelize complex logic, only simple repetitive shit like rendering polygons/particles.
And now here we hare with 1200W GPUs rendering more and more dumb shit for the same shitty gameplay loop from 20 years ago.
didn't read but man i NEED a darkwatch remaster RIGHT NOW
Games became too expensive to make
People keep saying this without explaining exactly what it means and why it suddenly became too expensive. That doesn't even make fucking sense, that's like saying quality chairs are too hard to make now.
I remember thinking server browsers and custom user-made content would only get better and more vast in the future, holy shit I was a fucking retard.
I was a fucking retard.
I was fucking retarded*. Still am, apparently.
We had destructable cities in Mercenaries 1-2 already.
facts
Video games peaked here
BOOBA
Gordon.
I'm still waiting, Gordon.
