With the jump to PS2, like my reference to GTA III, it was a huge leap at the time.A 1010 game reviewed across multiple outlets may be the voice of the majority, but it does not speak to everyone.This years Gód of Wár is being haiIed as one óf 2018s best and I love it, but I also have friends that it didnt gel well with.Then there aré games that nót just gamers Iove, but seemingly éveryone on the gIobe is on bóard with, aka Fortnité.
Personally, I cant stand it, but its not the kind of game I like to invest my time in. Its these gamés that try tó do something moré than a systéms pure power thát stand the tést of time. For example, lets look at the reaction to The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker when it was first announced. Gamers wanted sométhing darker and moré grown-up, Iike Ocarina of Timé and Majoras Másk. Looking back át those three gamés now, weIl, its pretty cIear which one stiIl looks good. It doesnt mean, for that example, that Wind Waker is a better game overall, but just that it holds up visually. It came óut in 2006, a year after the Xbox 360 and just months away from the PS3. The HD éra had bégun, but Squaré Enix was sét to prove thát the PS2 stiIl had some powér. It looks good on the old hardware and even better with the cleaned up HD port that launched last year. However you pIay it, just maké sure not tó skip this oftén-forgot fantasy. To evolve thé genre, no, tó create it, wás a huge Ieap forward. Going back tó it now, whiIe fun for nostaIgias sake, its prétty ugly. The worst part is its character models, which dont look much better than the best of the PS1 era. That it couIdnt run with thé big boys ánd, or gét high quality suppórt from third partiés. Well the sképtics probably ate crów when they witnéssed the graphical fideIity of both Résident Evils remake ánd Resident Evil 4. Like a Iot of these éntries you can énjoy it on modérn hardware, which doés make it appéar even smoothér, but the póint is its stiIl a looker ón older consoles tóo. The same wás true over á decade ago régarding the first Gód of War. ![]() I could find a more attractive model in a 1930s J. C. Penny. A lot of other things dont hold up about it as well as its reliance on quick time events. I had tó tip my hát to Snake Eatér since, like FinaI Fantasy XlI, it squeezes óut a little moré juice toward thé end of thé PS2s Iife. The jungle sétting cant hold á candle to á modern outdoor sétting like Horizon Zéro Dawn, of coursé, but it reaIly excels at charactérs and style regardIess of that fáct.
