 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/4460&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Scribble&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;scribble&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I have mixed feelings about the whole issue. It's true that better graphics can be nice, but there's at least IMO an era that is better left with the original graphics. Atari to 16-bit games, and PS2+ games are better with newer graphics, but N64 and 2.5D games I find far more immersive than new ones. The last time I really felt kind of scared by a game, my mind being tricked into believing the game to be somewhat real, was with late '90s technology. After that, the graphic beauty just made everything less realistic. I can't get immersed by new games anymore due to graphics. HL2 was the last one that made things look more realistic, instead of overdone.</html>
