Oh my god. I remember crash!!! But none were better than Halo. Period.

Op, at the time nothing compared to Halo. It completely revolutionized the fps. In fact, every fps created since has elements that were created in Halo CE. I

Crash Bandicoot 1-1996
Crash Bandicoot 2-1997
Crash Bandicoot 3-1998

And Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy came out a month after CE

So yes, there were better games around when CE came out


You see the thing is, Halo is a FPS, while Crash Bandicoot (Greatest PlayStation game IMO) was more of an adventure game. Both were revolutionary in terms of design and capability compared to previous games, and their sequels were just pure awesome (Crash 2/3 had much much better graphics and more variety of levels, and need I explain Halo 2?)

I was playing my PS2 from late 2003 to mid 2008... around the time I graduated and upgraded to a 360. Between both machines, I had the most fun on the PS2... it had GTA 3, Vice City and finally San Andreas.

I had a N64 before that... I would consider my time with that console to be superior to all other gaming experiences I would ever have after that. Zelda, Starfox, Mario, Tony Hawk, Golden Eye and everything else.

Why are we always indulging in the past?

I think we should be responsible for making the next 'Orcorina of Time' or the next 'Golden Eye'... but all of the ambition has turned elsewhere apparently. ):

Publishers =/= gamers is why we don't get a whole lot of creativity now. Plus the whole "consumers buy terrible crap en masse a la CoD.

Its like buying the same game over and over.

I simply believe people find something they like and they ONLY want that one thing.

Publishers make good money pushing out sequels. When the publishers get greedy and rush games, quality goes down. Fans get upset. Devs are forced to change aspects to appeal to new fans in order to make publishers money again. Fanbase is swapped. Original fanbase soon corrodes. New fanbase loses interest.


End of series.
