anothername: And I love the original Alone in the Dark with all its crap looking 3d visuals from early 90ys ;)
Sorry, meant that as a pure technical statement. i.e. compare KQ7 screens
here with that 2d 2016 P&C adventure
here and KQ8 with this 3d 2015 RPG
here.
Jinxtah: Ah, well that's a pretty unfair comparison. Obviously todays graphics are much better.
I would still argue that the older graphics of say Thief and Arx doesn't count as crap looking. At least not in my book. They're not as amazing looking as Witcher 3, but crap? I think not.
Thats what I meat with "3d aged bad". KQ7, while inferior to Dog Mendonca does not look as far behind, technically, as as KQ8 does compared to Witcher 3. That some of these retained their special charm regardless of age is true.
