It's hard to explain just how awesome the original was on PS1. The video does a good job trying to put a point on it, but living through the evolution of certain games and genres is better experienced.
Watching videos like these just frustrate me more with regards to studios, marketing, and advertising. It is always the same story. You have this ground breaking product that everyone loves and the reaction is let's strip it of what made it great and make more more more! If the Medal of Honor stuff doesn't make you mad just look at the introduction of Call of Duty and what it used to be, or Battlefield Bad Company. Today we have shells of what the series one was because it is derivative shit.
We're not without culpability. Mt. Dew Doritos pew pew Xbox Leaderboard was such an emphasis for the last decade. But the shift from a quality narrative driven single player (or fuck even co-op story mode) got completely thrown out with the bath water. Why waste time when you can just reuse assets for this year's release of FPS 20XX. I don't even care what the setting is. WW1, 2, Nam, Middle East, I just want a good game.
Need to stop watching these. Get my heart goin.
