Do you remember? I am sure you remember really well.
In the old days it is not a lie to say at least all the 3D games had terrible graphics. But we didn't care because it was something normal to us to begin with. For example the graphic of FF7 was a masterpiece back then or the graphics of Sin. And of course most of the games was very enjoyable to play, even today.
But, do you remember when you were younger you just wanted to play the game so to see the next CG cutscene? For me I had too reasons for that:
-The CG cutscenes had better graphics that the actually game. This alone it was a reason for me as a small child to see something extraordinary and beatiful.
-The full knowledge that the specific part of the game you see this CG in the game, is something special for the game. An old gamer like me, I knew back then when the game showed to me a CG cutscenes, I knew it would be something special and exciting or a very important part of the game that the game let you know about that.
A very good example is the game Parasite Eve for PSX.
All the CG cutscenes from the beginning to end play a specific role in the game.
To introduce you to your first enemy, to see for the first time your main antagonist of the game, to see that clearly the one you will fight it is a boss, to see an awesome battle that it was impossible for the time to be a part of the gameplay, to see the your main antagonist dying in a painful way, and many other things.
It was something special for me when the game one of the ways to say "thank you" for playing this game, is too show to you CG cutscenes.
And that it one of the reasons also I really, REALLY liked the old games. Yes, I must admit one part for liking the old games is nostalgia, but an other reason is the one I just told you above.
------------------------------
With that said, I would like also to ask what do you believe about this?
Do you think I have right to feel like that?
If the new games that we have now followed this "old formula", it would be much better for the satisfaction of player like us?
