Do you think videogames will ever be as good as in the 80's and 90's

Yeah games today are just as fun if not more fun. Games in the 80's lasted 2 seconds, beat the game, play it again.

I don't get how you say today is all about get the game finished quickly and then release it. If you must know majority of the games in the 80s and 90s did not take over a year to make.

I remember playing Chrono Trigger, I don't remember saving it to do another answer. That's what New Game Plus was for. I only know 3 friend's who are GTA type gamers, the rest aren't so that might be the people you know.

That's actually not true FF6 was a long time in the making. If I recall correctly FF7 took 3 years to make. By today's standards that's almost the lifespan of a console.

Most adventure scrolling games lasted 2 seconds I agree. But then again I don't think we would ever see a Wonder Boy or an Adventure Island type game ever again. I think those days may have come and gone. Granted the technologies have changed now everything is 3d and such I agree.

But the type of games that came out back in the day were so much better than Halo or SOCOM.

I can't understand how people say games today are better than yesterdays games. Obviously it's a matter of opinion for sure. I'm just thinking that those people who made those games because they sat down and brainstormed to make a killer game did it because they understood that a game that made the mind happy was something that would be remembered.

Also, games today take so much longer to make because
A) The hardware is so much harder to work with
B) There are huge teams (RE6) that all have a different say in the game.

They need to make the game visually appealing so people can understand the power of the console.

You have to get your moneys worth.

Sega / Genesis / Nintendo / SNES were limited in their GFX so people had to make due with what they had. And that was story. That's why the games were so much better, simply because they didnt have to worry about the 10 year olds complaining that the characters practically don't attack them out of the screen.
