Growing up in the 2000s, I used to be excited about the future. Now, not only am I not welcoming the future, I'm afraid of it.

I think the 70-2000s were a uniquely exciting time for everything.

The more time that passes, the more I agree with Agent Smith, that it really was "the peak of your civilization."

Ive never been so excited to be depressed. thanks fam ❤😢

That's because we currently live in a dystopia.

Assassin's Creed wouldn't exist if it weren't for OK Computer's album cover artwork and neither would Mirror's Edge

Y2K Era forever.

PS3 was the last future product being released.

games losing their unique touches has sucked a lot of the magic out of the industry. games today dont hold a candle to what was going on back then.

the fact that theres so many remasters and remakes today should tell you we peaked long ago, not from a technical perspective but effort and novelty.

"New games' budgets are enormous, so they simply can't be allowed to fail." Yeah! I've noticed this as well, that's why newer games hold back so much, imo. That's why they don't tap into their full potential.

Mark Fisher was a prophet when he wrote about hauntology. It reminds me a lot of what Clint Hocking wrote about in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and the mass kernels.

80's and 90's...the golden AGES.

This is one of the greatest videos I have ever seen on internet.
You fucking rock man!

Nailed it. Everything was so exciting back then.

That dreamcast switch on noise, with the blue swirl, will never not tickle my nutsack with nostalgia.

Before the 'future' gobbled into just another marketing scheme.

Today they focus so hard on making games look realistic that they forgot to make them look exiting..

/edit for typo

In the 90s, small budgets gave developers a free hand, allowing them to release various experimental games that matched the quality of the AAA titles of that era.
Today, budgets are massive, and developers are afraid to experiment. We no longer get truly new games.
