One of the green rats
Mine is easily the PSX,Saturn,N64 era. Every generation up until the ps2 generation felt like listening to the Beatles for the first time in the early 60s. Everything was new and exciting! Lots of risk taking due to the small budgets and every new gen brought something new that could not be done in the gen before it.
- the nes gen brought about large scrolling worlds the Atari couldn't.
- the SNES/Genesis gen brought about more complex gameplay nes just couldn't do. For example the complexity of street fighter couldn't be done on the nes.
- the PSX/Saturn/N64 was complete paradigm shift to 3D gameplay. To me it actually had more in common with the NES era as everything was new and new gameplay was being figured out. also as a bonus it's the first time driving games could really be done in a truly fun way.
It seems like after that gen everything just started to fall into a corporate template rut just like movies did before it. Everything these days could have been done last gen or gen before it (and sometimes were *cough* remaster craze). There can be great fun games today, but nothing mind blowing... nothing that hasn't been done a many times before.
Just compare these generation jumps and what they represent to any launch games of the last 4 generations yourselves.
