Seeing these oliolies and la mulanas and people wanting them, kind of funny people wanting games that look like they came from megadrive but then beat on games that are cross gen because you know, graphics.
The issue with cross-gen games, for me, is not only one of graphics but also that of games being constrained in their design/scope because of console power on the previous generation. Size map, number of enemies, destructible environments, AI, etc are things that are severely hampered in a game that is cross-gen.
I have no interest in OlliOlli (not because of graphics/scope, but because I don't care about skating) but I do love Metroid-like exploration/adventure games, so I am looking forward to La Mulana. And a game "that looks like it came from megadrive" probably has a lot more content/freedom (not to mention better design) than a game like, say, Thief or Soul Suspect.
I know your post wasn't addressing me but that's kind of the issue when you make broad statements like that.
You are going to have to post some proof that the people complaining about cross gen are the same that want these games. Otherwise you are just shitposting. Which you actually are anyways by saying that the games look they came from mega drive. Have you actually played on a mega drive? If so, can you send me your mega drive? Because yours is apparently a special exclusive edition that has better graphics that anyone's else mega drive.
Or that too.
Maybe it's a nice, fat, juicy multi-month announcement, that's why it's taking all this time?
If not, then yeah, you have to wonder what's going on there.
I'm telling you guys. Every. Single. PS3 Game.
Ever. I'm not an insider though.
