    I agree. We’re not the first ones to point it out, but theres a strong argument to be made for graphical style over graphical fidelity. Working to achieve a particular stylised choice tends to give a visual medium greater longevity.

    There’s a reason why people remember details about Jurassic Park over something like Avatar; or Star Fox over the latest Call of Duty.

    Technology has made some things look better over the years, but the things that really get remembered visually are the style choices.

    Just because one game takes up a quarter of your hard drive doesn’t make it more impressive than a sub 1 GB game.
