      @@Alr1ghtyThen I think we are already at a point where in some cases games can be difficult to tell from reality (Unrecorded, RIDE4, Titanic or the Train Station in UE5 or just heavily modded games), so the next big leap has to be in physics and destruction etc. because that is the main factor which lets you tell apart reality and games.
      Also artstyle is so important like in RDR2 to actually make it pleasing to look at (Photorealistic isnt always good looking as reality can actually look pretty bad if its like grey and foggy winter time 🤣). But when it comes to pure Visuals of a single frame we are already at 90-95% imo.

    I would love a jak and daxter: precursor legacy remake. I'm replaying it for the 3rd or 4th time now, and while it was way more fun when I didnt know what smooth controls felt like, It still is one of my favorites. The characters all feel unique, the side quests feel rewarding and fun, and all the environments and enemies all feel fresh after you clear a level/stage/area. It was the first game that could be called open world that I had, and seeing that with new graphics and better controls would be incredible. Unfortunately, I doubt it'll get the ratchet and clank, spyro, or crash treatment.

    Also, Kestis is the Katarn we could never have outside Legends. Because Kyle Katarn is so awesome, he would break the canon SW universe. His beard is home to a species of Force-sensitive lice with an advanced civilization. He could wield three lightsabers in one hand, like children would put sticks between their fingers pretending to be Wolverine. Except he doesn't pretend. And with his other hand, he can perform a simultaneous Force pull and push attack, the survivors of which have described as "euphoric."

    Fallen order and Surviver may have way better graphics, but Jedi outcast 2 is probably THE best lightsaber focused game ever. I wish I had a gaming pc just so I could play it again. It didn't transfer well to console. But the lightsaber fights weren't awkward. You could really switch up your style on the go, pull off amazing moves to out class opponents. Truly an amazing game.

    • @StrataVision
      @StrataVision Před rokem +3

      True, but you discover it only when you play long enough. Average 'gamer' will complete singleplayer (most of the time doesnt know about lightsaber styles) and sees how awkward the duels play out and has mixed feelings. When you start diving in, master quick medium swings, diagonal swings, red swing reaching attack with jump, get proficient with special moves and finally join in multiplayer to understand you know nothing, this is when the fun begins. Not saying jedi survivor has some depth in how to fight, but outcast/academy is more manual, you really control the saber how you want with different swings and player/camera movement, also thanks to quake engine duels are very dynamic, if you can strafe.

    90s-00s gaming had such a vast range of creativity. I love the amount of risk they took on odd concepts in This Y2K era- the Dreamcast/PS2/360. It should show us that (GRAPHICS Are Not) the most important thing.. If you can create satisfying movement, with good art style that allowed the player to differentiate"what's important & what's not" really adds to the game's playability. Then add gameplay mechanics, physics effects, responsive parts of a environment, a environment that makes you want to explore it, engage it, etc. That stuff is so much more important. Not just "who can make the largest game world, with the most polygons, reflection's,etc." I think Art style, design, vibe, aesthetic is much more important. You don't need top notch graphics to greatly appreciate and enjoy playing that game. That's why we are seeing such a resurgence of players who have gone back to playing older games because they realize the aspects of gaming that they care about and are unhappy with in most modern games. So hopefully gaming will enter a new era. That mixes in aspects of the older era's. With our modern capabilities that will hopefully help make it easier to create a satisfying game. As well as a vast range of game's Instead of everything trying to be Triple AAA or free to play online battle Royale games.. a lot of us miss the options for local multiplayer, split screen, lan parties, or offline modes against bots or other diverse offline CPU game modes.

    Awesome video Mr Falcon. There's obviously some great games these days, but one thing that these amazing graphics can't compare to is, games back in the day up to a certain point in the the mid to late 2000s took more risks! There was wild and varied games. It couldn't be more safe and soulless in the majority of games now. Sure, there's a few indy games here and there, the very odd mid budget original, but yeah for the most part it's not great.

    9. Survivor vs. Outcast:
    True, the graphics are night and day. However, you could dismember enemies in Outcast, the code was for decapitation and bisections. Lastly, the combat in Outcast wasn't mindless flailing, any saber-wielding opponent or special ranged enemy was a significant threat which forced the player to plan ahead. Though not too different than how you'd fight in any Souls-like game, these every enemy fought just as dynamically as the player, there wasn't a pattern to their attacks that you had to memorize. As much as I love Fallen Order/Survivor, combat goes to Outcast/Academy, but only slightly. I feel that Suvivor is still muted, afraid, and/or too rushed to really give us that dynamic and free combat.

    • @austinseven4720
      @austinseven4720 Před rokem +2

      I haven't played Survivor yet, but I played Fallen Order and as far as I'm concerned, Jedi Outcast was a much better game. But then I'm old and played the original Dark Forces the year it came out! However, there seems to be a flaw amongst a lot of younger gamers who think graphics are the sole determinant of what makes a good game. Morrowind has terrible graphics but is a better game than Skyrim (I actually like Skyrim, but like many others, I consider Morrowind to still be the best Elder Scrolls to date).

    Another thing about Jedi Knight lightsabers is that the trails on the wall, you can write stuff with it just passing it on the wall and use your mouse. In Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor you only get wall marks when you attack the wall. Also you hurt enemies in Jedi Knight just by letting them touch the lightsaber without pressing attack. And it's kinda disappointing Cal never get to do the jumping overhead attack from Jedi Knight because that would be the best thing to use against shield troopers. Another thing that bugs me in Jedi Survivor is how sometimes when Cal cuts horizontally the enemy is cut vertically and vice versa. Most likely that the dismemberment is tied to animation but it played the wrong animation?

      Lightsaber in jedi survivor (and fallen order) feels like a light glowstick kids swing for fun, doesnt feel real, heavy, there's no emphasis on how deadly and dangerous it really is. Also reviewer said jedi survivor has 'cinematic' lightsaber fights, one of the criticism back in the day was jedi outcast (especially jedi academy) mimics movies too much and has these cinematic animations that look cool, but not very practical, and it's no longer technical like the previous jedi knight games (dark forces), ironic.. It seems that games just try to follow how movies portray saber duels and fighting style in general. It started with very careful and calculated samurai strikes from Original trilogy to sequels cinematic fights that make no sense, but look cool.

    Also remember that before the Dual Shock, there was the Dual Analog. It is a dual analog gamepad without the force feedback (in case the names didn't make that patently obvious.) It was only out for around a year or so before Sony replaced it with the Dual Shock.
    (I remember mine, because after dropping, or perhaps football spiking a Dual Shock and breaking the motor brackets, I went back to a Dual Analog because the clicking of the motors as they tried to move annoyed the crap out of me. Until I used liquid steel or something like that to reattach the motors so they functioned properly again)
