Title: I suddenly realized I've actually liked N64 graphics all along.

I was just lying to myself and others for 24 years that I didn't like them. I'm sorry to everyone I hurt.

N64 3D always looked like a blurry, swampy mess to me. I do like the way the 2D games like Mischief Makers and Yoshi's Story look run through an RGB modded system hooked up to an OSSC via SCART.

PS1 prerendered backgrounds on the other hand, now we're talkin  8)

N64/PS1/Quake/Duke 64 is still best era for first person shooters, don't @ me

Late 90's PC - Unreal Tournament, Half Life, Quake 3 Arena. And Deus Ex if you could consider it.  :lawd

Also to a lesser extent, the late 2000's PC/X360 for innovating with the genre - Mirror's Edge, Portal.

90's FPS games were groundbreaking for sure. I'd argue that 2004-2007 was when the genre peaked. Half Life 2 was adored in 2004, Halo 2 online multiplayer laid out the groundwork for matchmaking and features for console shooters to this day.

2007 had Bioshock, Halo 3, Team Fortress 2, Portal (not a shooter but was adored), Call of Duty 4, HL episode 2. Then a but later there was Left 4 Dead and Crysis.

FPS games haven't really moved past framework set in the 360/ps3 generation. Call of Duty is to blame for that.

I can fuck with some N64 up-rezzed and output through HDMI. Mario 64 was fun to revisit. There's not a lot of games on the N64 I'd want to replay though, tbh.

If Mario 64 were in 1080p60fps, even 4:3, it'd be great. Edit- Clarified language since I know the 3D All Stars port is 720p30fps cause Nintendo be lazy.

The camera controls hold that game back more than the graphics do either way.

That shouldn't be a controversial opinion.

The Galaxy 2 version of Whomp's Fortress made me wish for a Mario 64 overhaul with the same level designs but improved movement and camera... I never really cared for the 64 controls, your turning radius is too large for my taste.
