Message: [QUOTE="JPZ, post: 246103, member: 6334"] I think the main difference is the older generation experienced a massive leap in technology between gaming generations. For instance, the jumps between PS3, PS4 and PS5 were almost negligible in comparison. The difference between PS2 and PS3 was a bit of a jump, but still nowhere near the leap from 16 to 32bit. Going from games like Sonic on the Mega Drive to Resident Evil on PSX was just insane, even at the time. Then the next leap to Dreamcast from PS2 was also huge. When I first played Shenmue, I could not believe what I was seeing. The amount of detail in the characters and backgrounds in a seemingly living world created such a feeling of realism and immersion, which for the time was astounding. That was 1999/2000 and a game like FFVII was just three years before! Now, the differences are quite minor in comparison, more about added detail, polygons, higher resolution, better frame rate etc. but it's more about polishing of something that is already there.
