Video Games Graphics Evolution: Then And Now by vasaratti(op): 9:26am On Feb 08, 2019
With the whole ten year challenge craze that has been going on for quite sometime now, let's take a quick look at how far/how good video games have become since the last decade. *Spoilers* You'll be astonished.

From the time video games were only played on black and white TVs to the days when arcade games were the popular and having a 2d graphic video game was considered the most "visually stunning" Here 15 Then Vs.Now Picture that depicts how far video games have evolutionized in the last decade.

#10: Pro Evolution Soccer (PES)

This was a game that was in the console of almost every Nigerian that owned a PS2, Pro Evolution Soccer known as PES in and formerly known as Winning Eleven is a football video game that has been around for quite some time now, while not as old as most games in this but the video game no doubt deserve a mention considering the major advancement the game has had so far both graphically and gameplay wise.

Final Fantasy

The Final Fantasy might be one of the most obscure video games in the series but it deserve a mention due to the consistency the Franchise has kept for close to 32 years now, not many video games have achieved such feat.


From 1987 till date the Final Fantasy has maintained a good level of consistency till now, which is very surprising since the first installment in the series which was released 32 years ago was meant to be a wrap up for Square Enix as video game developer but tides turned and the series and the Franchise has so far seen huge improvement.

Grand Theft Auto
At initial nrelease, GTA was largely a driving video game but with time the franchise evolutionized into the open world game which it's popular for.

There has has been huge development in the video games both graphically, gameplay wise and financially of course

winning eleven on ps1. the memories wink

Shibata! goal!! irientogol!!!

Shatanscorner!

Shuta!

Those days when Roberto Carlos is always put in striking or wing position. one two with Ronaldo (both at Madrid and Brazil) and its a goal. Carlos should be the highest goal scorer by a huge margin if there's a way to collate the data of all the goals scored in ps1. The commentators call him something like "Doberento Carlos"

I even got so used to Carlos as striker on ps1 that when I moved to ps2 I still put him as striker until I realised he's not as good there as he was in ps1. it was a "culture shock" cheesy

Also on ps1 master league you can sign a Carlos from Madrid and another Carlos from Brazil. I remember having a Carlos on both wings. Ronaldo Delima as striker then another Delima on the bench in case one of the three starters get injured or suspended

I also remember the Ronaldinho free kick trick in which all you need do is go twice to the left or right (depending on where the wall is) then press the box/carpet button till the gauge gets to the "d" in Ronaldinho. if you happen to make a mistake during free kick all you need do before the player kicks it is to pause and change kicker in the formation menu. your freekick would be reset

Also about when you have red cards and there's a hole in the wall during freekicks the sent off player should've been.

A classic example here, virtually everybody refers to the first Lara croft once talking concerning visual advancements in gaming

The 2000 tomb Raider game featured a rather angular Lara Croft…

The evolution of technology has allowed designers and developers to be more inventive and realistic with their games, and we’re getting to see more of these ‘cinematic’ video games released within the future.

Super Mario

One of the most iconic video game in history with figure familiar to both gamers and non gamers alike, Super Mario made its entry on the list was no doubt a worthy mention on the list considering the amount of years the video game has remained consistent.

WWE

The original "WWF Smackdown!," later renamed "WWE Smackdown!" once the name was claimed by the world wildlife Federation, allowed players to control skilled wrestlers and claim the title belt.

The overall gameplay haven't really improved but graphically, the game has improved drastically.
