3D games over time

          
              Has anyone else ever noticed how games specifically early 3D games  age worse then any other form of art? I recently have gone back to playing Final Fantasy VII and I noticed how poorly it has aged ,sure the story is still great and the music is good even though it is tinny and synthesized ,but the gameplay is very dull and moving around the world is a pain because you get stuck on every thing because it is pre rendered. So I am still enjoying the game ,but not nearly as much as my initial play through in the late 90s and early 2000s. So this got me thinking what other games don't hold up to there current day counter part because FFVII doesn't touch FFX. So I went in and test multiple games against a modern day counter part and honestly the only one that really held up was Zelda Ocarina of Time. Cruisn The USA didn't touch Burnout Paradise ,and Persona was laughable when put next to Persona 4  , Then you compare Mario Galaxy to 64 or even Sunshine and it is a world of difference. 
 
           Now are these old games bad no not by any means ,but to someone who didn't live through them or someone who doesn't under stand the limits of the time a person probably can't get into it. A good example is my little cousin ,he loves Mario on the Wii he thinks that Mario Galaxy is the greatest thing ever ,but when I show him Mario 64 and say when I was your age this was my Mario Galaxy ,he looks at me like I am crazy. 
 
      So I think that a lot of early 3D games are great ,but don't age extremely well and if you don't understand the time or why this game was so awesome then you won't like them. So my question is will  I be saying the same thing about Final Fantasy X (the Best FF to me) on its 15ths anniversary or do you think we have stopped making progress to the extent that was PS1 to PS2.
