@Koffeeking0407 I think this game walked tall in it’s day, so games like the PS2’s God Of War, PS3’s Uncharted franchise, and other games could run; games that could rake in a decent pool of voice talent (these games employed professional animation VO artists Tony Jay and Michael Bell who’d been working steadily since the 1980s after all), and streamlined loading processes to provide an almost seamless “3D environment Metroidvania” experience that hadn’t quite been mastered before.
I admit it seems dated now, but that would be because what it did so well, it was among the earliest to do. Now that we live in the days after, we can look at it and appreciate what it started, but it’s hard to go back and play it fresh.
Like playing SMB1 after 6 months of practicing SMB3, kinda, just a loose comparison off the top of my head.
