How can last gen take credit for that? It was an N64 game, and it looked better there (eh, Conker looks less cartoon-y and the Mighty Poo looks less poo-y)."

  

Video Games | Conker: Reloaded | GT N64 vs XBox

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

lol wut? "

I meant artistically, not technically. It looks great technically, but not so much artistically. Something was lost (my guess is the atmosphere of the time)."

"@SmugDarkLoser: Maybe that's the case. Who knows what the next album will be like, there's the Chester project to get out of the way first."

So did we win or what happened?
What exactly was it?

As far as I'm concerned, there's only one sport worth watching- ufc/mma

"Now here's the problem besides the fact that they completely abandoned their musical style  "

All I used to hear after Hybrid Theory and Meteora was people complaining that they only use the same sound and that they had to branch out, so they went for a new sound with MtM and now all I see is people complaining that they abandoned their musical style

:-S

Apart from that I agree with everything else, New Divide in particular offends my ears.

Screw it all.  I have to ask this instead.

How can a band go from this

I'm saying those jumps weren't that big by today's standards. "

How so? The leap from this:



to this:

Was pretty big. The closer you looked to arcade games, the more powerful you were. Then again, I still think SNES->N64 (generations, not consoles) was the biggest leap. "

In the end pc games always looked better though, consoles were never any kind of benchmark for graphics til this generation.   You are ignoring the fact that those upgrades involved just adding 8 bits of ram.  "

On that last one, fair enough. Let me add to that: artistic=/=graphics.I'd still like to argue that those two games are artistic. They use cel-shading to great effect, showing how an area is dead and desolate until you bring life to it.(I'm doing this completely in reverse.) But dark and brown is a bit overused, isn't it? Sort of like how anime is overused in JRPGs, or the entire rainbow is overused in platformers. My point is that I'd like a bit of variety."

"For some reason, a few of your pics argue against your point. About 2 or 3 of them are dull, brownish FPSes; far from the artistic feel you're going for. At least Okami and Prince of Persia redeem that. Oh, and (why the hell not?) that new Fire Emblem :P."
