Whats wrong with games today.

Lately I have been forced to play the classics due to video card limitations.
And I have noticed that Simulation manufacturers who were once tied up by simulation limitations often filled in the graphical voids with history and imaginative design. Task force 1942, Red Baron, SWOTL etc all excelled at making you feel like you were there even if the world was 640x380.

In contrast today's Simulations seem stale and surgical. IL2 was a graphic masterpiece of its day yet it felt so disconnected at times. While the Graphics fidelity increases it seems the game playability decreases, Nothing sucks you in to the sim world anymore.

Maybe that's why SHIII stands out is because it was made right in the middle of the technology swap, The game was written to put you there but was beautiful enough to make you feel like you were there.
