I was on a party last night talking with friends that play games since forever, about how people like us, +30 people, have witnessed the birth and evolution of videogames as a medium and art.
It's like being as the generation that experienced the creation and evolution of photography or cinema for the first time, visual media that have stopped rising in its evolutionary curve for years, only in its first 50 years the changes have been a hit. As happens to us now with every generation that appears. ATARI to the NES/MS, NES/MS to SNES/GEN, and SNES/GEN to N64/PSX/SAT were changes that blowed away our head. Changes that evolved graphically, and also in the playable way.
Now I think that from that point the upward curve related to gameplay has stopped, and how impressive it can bring each generation is a purely a graphic matter.
Sorry if it sound weird, but it was something that i felt and i wanted to share.
Don't you feel the same?
We have already seen everything?
What's next?
