Yes. The punchline is the subversion of this not being the answer

For some people it still comes out hard and dry. Or just won’t come out…

But there’s also top notch titles now. What you’re saying would only be true if modern games were bad, which they’re not. Game devs today still have limitations. Rockstar doesn’t, but that’s because they’re top in triple a titles. But if you really want limitations play some modern indie games.

What you’re describing isn’t even the same limitations anyways. The main trial faced was power, not graphics. Even if they make a game that looks like it’s ps2 era they haven’t actually added any limitations to truly effect game play.

I strongly disagree with this. There’s good and bad level design for all eras of games. In fact, you could argue limited graphical possibilities limits some things in games like gta, which in each era it comes out prides itself on looking more and more like irl. It’s part of the fun if the game. You get to do insane stuff in a mirror of the real world. It also aids immersion. It’s harder to feel like you’re in the world when everything looks like play dough. Games like red dead are a lot better when the graphics make you feel you’re standing right there.

And just having lower graphics doesn’t mean better level design. You do realize it’s not the same people working on graphics and levels, especially for large game development companies. If a modern game is worse it’s just because it’s worse.

Personally I’m not huge in graphics and I’ll play anything if it’s fun, but if you’re capable of it why not have everything look a little nicer? I’ll pick ps2 era games like metal gear solid 2 over most modern games, but that doesn’t mean they should just stop improving graphics. I absolutely love the old mortal kombats and I’ve found the modern ones to be extremely lacking, but one thing I do enjoy is how nice everything looks. It just adds a little flavour.

What? You’re asking for a graphics change because you like that era of games. Is the reason you like it really just because of the graphics? I could somewhat understand that if you didn’t pick gta as the game. The old ps2 gta graphics are basically the same as modern, just less detail. Or do you prefer to imagine detail??? I don’t understand what you mean.

So how would making it have ps2 graphics change anything? Is it not still a modern game? If you like older games why do you think this would help anything. Modern rockstar is still modern rockstar. Regardless of why you like ps2 games my comment also asks how this changes anything. I personally prefer classic 16 bit genesis era games, but I can’t just ask a major developer to go back to that style and expect a product I’ll enjoy. There’s more to game making than just that.

Ahh, people interpreting nostalgia for old games meaning looking like an old game is automatically an improvement.

Ahh, you’re that kind of guy. You only care about graphics and think the switch is for kids. Games are about fun. Just because it doesn’t have every title be m rated or focus on graphics doesn’t make it bad. The sales speak for itself. Nintendos decision to focus on the fun and innovation of the switch was clearly the right choice. I don’t see why you can’t comprehend that graphics aren’t everything. What do you want? For every console to be the exact same? For them all to only focus on making stationary boxes of just good graphics? The console market would have less life if it was just ps and Xbox. The switch brings a fun colourful and portable option to the table. There’s a reason the switch appeals to general audiences more than either of the other ones.

It’s not meant to be impressive. The average person doesn’t care about having the greatest graphics, and that’s why the switch sells like hotcakes. Even then, the games Nintendo makes don’t need it. They know how to optimize games to look the best they can with what they’re given. And I’m literally playing super smash bros right now at 60. If you personally care a lot about graphics that’s great, but just because of your preferences the switch isn’t overpriced. People buy consoles based on their needs, and the switch suites the needs of those that recognize graphics don’t make a console.

Also, where the hell do you find Xbox for that cheap??? That’s either a shitty conditioned console, or a terrible seller.

My switch games run at 60, but ok.

Power isn’t everything. The whole point is portability which an Xbox doesn’t have, it’s great for co-op as many seek that, and it grants you access to the Nintendo library. It’s about preferences, not just power.
