StaceyPowers Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Are there any classic games you can think of which you actually think would not be as powerful if they were made today, either for reasons relating to technological changes or cultural factors?

Heatman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Are there any classic games that are already in existence that you aren't really interested or a fan of because they are not as good as you deemed them to be? Personally, I think the ones already in existence are good and till I get to see ones that doesn't meet expectations, I wouldn't be too quick to condemn.

kingpotato Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'm not sure if I'm answering the question correctly but I think it will be Doom or Golden eye 007 64. The reason why these two games are very popular even today is because they innovated in a time when First person shooters where almost none existing, they where the first of their kind and they excel at doing so . But nowadays there are FPS games everywhere so if these two games where to come out today they will most likely pass unnoticed. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceExplorer Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Looking at your profile picture and myself being a fan of it, I don't think Quake III Arena would be as popular now as it was back then. It would have a niche audience, that's for sure, but wouldn't be popular as much, which Quake Champions pretty much confirms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) There's a lot of early system games that wouldn't have the audience they once had when they originally came out. One that I think wouldn't have the same audience would be Contra. It was a great game in the 80's, with a slight Vietnam war feel to it. Or maybe that part was just me. But today even South Park is fighting aliens. And the war games like Socom, and CoD would surpass Contra in such a great way, that it would most likely flop completely. Then there are games like Dig Dug, Galaga, Q*Bert, and Marble Madness that kids would look at today and flip out asking "WTF is this shit?!" They were mind blowing then. They would be mind blowing today, but in the opposite direction. Edited March 27, 2019 by The Blackangel kingpotato and killamch89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
