Meh. Are the stories being created with games getting better? For example, Half Life and Portal are pretty modern and immersive and run on some 20-year-old hardware.
The story lines and the graphics are orthogonal. It’s possible to immersive and fun games with “poor” graphics (Portal) and it’s possible to have bad storylines with amazing graphics.
Even if you’re fond/nostalgic for older hardware and games, that doesn’t mean you can’t recognize that things have improved.
Well if the overarching point is that nowadays we have so much computing power, and it doesn’t really result in better experiences, and that most things one would want to do could’ve been done on much older hardware, then it’s kind of the point that the graphics are orthogonal to a fun gaming experience.
Meh. Are stories being created in books getting better? For example, The Decameron and Canterbury Tales are pretty impressive and were written before the printing press.
