And yeah I'm mainly a retro gamer as I feel older games were better designed and more challenging (I mean New Super Mario Bros was way too easy).
But gaming itself hasn't changed at all. You still jump, you still shoot things and the principle idea of providing an interactive piece of entertainment has stayed the same.
Technology has moved forward but gaming has only taken a few small steps.
see? you still don't realize how far it's really come, yes we still have some aspects of classic games, but sayign the graphics have come a long way is only just stating one aspect.
actual gameplay, like what you can actually do has changed, for fighting games, adding a small hill in the middle of the stage can change strategy all together. for RTS games, adding a simple wall in the middle of the stage can, yes, change strategy
and yet, that's only one aspect
I understand you're a retro gamer, just don't bitch about how you think upcoming games will bomb because of their past releases and/or if they're gonna change it
