drop a pin so i can punch your eyes out of your head you worthless little faggot.
metal gear solid was literally like being in a movie and it looked impressive and crappy simultaneously, it's hard to describe it and you had to be there.
the infancy of 3D gaming was like living in a digital fantasy realm. The blocky, warped way of things somehow made it more tangible and mysterious. that "aesthetic" being a meme is for good reason, it looked just as cool back when it was new.
anyways, the arcade was always the big boy, but 3D at home...was pure PURE magic....if it was done well. also, most kids weren't going to the arcades all the time, that was unthinkable to have at home.
yeah the warped look got outpaced technically very quickly, but it didn't matter. games still looked great on PS1. In the case of something like Final Fantasy VII, the true full motion video made a major impact on the visual identity. This was new, and impressive.
also worth noting back then everything was 240p/480i, played on consumer analogue tvs, and i shit you not, it made them look more "real" and that isn't some rose tinted meme.
