Growing up playing the NES and SNES game, when I finally got to play the PS1 basically any game felt so real in my eyes.
It's something I commented on another thread the other day, as technology improves, our brains get used to the new graphics, but at the current time we don't know any better.
These past few years, with the remakes of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, etc, I play those games and I'm like "but this is just exactly how I remember them..." then I look the comparison to the original and the difference is huge. But that's what I'm saying, back then, we didn't know better and it's like, we knew that was the limit of the current technology, so our brains compensated it by imagining the rest. Because this feeling I have now while playing Crash or Spyro on the PS4 of "omg, this looks so good" is exactly the same feeling I had back when I played them on the PS1, so yeah I think we're very fortunate.
Younger kids that were born when there was already the GameCube, the Wii, the PS3 or I don't know, newer and newer consoles, if they look back at older games, I don't think they can fully appreciate those classic games or how could anyone be impressed by that, because they'll never know what it was like to not have what we have nowadays. In a few years I'm gonna look back at the PS4 games and be like "how could I think this was good?" lol
