As I play certain older games, I can reframe my mind to a degree to take myself back in that point in time when the game was new, fresh. This sensation is wonderful because I can appreciate where the game tried to innovate.
I get this particular "next gen" feeling from the original Devil May Cry on the PS2. In many ways, from the amazing atmosphere, rendered in a 60fps 3D engine, to the music, the gameplay, the overall style of the game, it feels so timeless. It feels like what a next gen Resident Evil game would've felt like on the PS2 for the time the game released, in 2001. You might be familiar with the story on how it actually was meant to be an RE game, the first version of RE4, but then got changed to it's own thing because it strayed too far from series roots. That RE feeling is still very present in the final product, which as an RE fan, I can get behind.
So GAF, do you have any older games like this? Are there older games in which you can fire up and it transports you back to the era it was released in, and thus still feels as fresh and innovative and most importantly, as fun as it was when it initially released?
