10 Ways Gaming Is Better (And Worse) Than Ever

10. Better - Graphical Quality Is Unsurpassed

Like primitive man aiming to replicate the human form on cave paintings, games across the 90s were forever chasing real life.

Hollywood and cinematic influence came into play too, as the general notion of "What if you could play a movie?" became the driving force, culminating in Metal Gear Solid skyrocketing into legendary status immediately thereafter.

Now we're seeing companies like Sony and Microsoft push the "Ultra HD/4K" agenda as a way to further those age-old ideas, but the reality is: We hit photo real graphics that are more than enough years ago, and have enjoyed a high bar of quality ever since.

Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, Star Wars Battlefront II - all are absolutely, eye-wateringly beautiful, testament to the sheer talent of designers who roll together skills from architecture, physics and hand drawing into one.
