Ps2, Xbox, Dreamcast and Gamecube had better games but the online boom of the next gen was definitely a moment. Halo 3 and GOW nearly held down a console by themselves

Nintendo Switch & PS4 era were full of heavy hitters too

Golden era in both single player AND multiplayer gaming

I miss uncharted 2 and 3 multiplayer

:(

I was already playong wc3 and counter strike and wow before then

it was definitely the golden era for multiplayer games

No

Also yeah all of those games are way f***in worse than their previous entry

But yeah forsure horse armor

I wish people would be this self aware

Like I’m glad you had fun but let’s be objective for 10 minutes

2007-13 releases single handedly killed my interest in gaming until I bought a ps4 in 2015

Y?

13 undeniably, 4 sure, 4 is my fave gta. and and mgs4. Mgs online is koj's greatest achidievement

Thread moderately blew up and I totally forgot about it

I was reading a few comments and tbh it's hard to choose between that ps1 and 2 jump or the PS2 and 3 jump.

They were both such huge leaps. Felt like we were really being ushered into a new era of gaming man. I remember seeing Madden 2001 on PS2 on the tv and playable PS2 at places like Best Buy when it first dropped. I looked so real lol.
Also, another favorite of mine wasn't even on ps or Xbox at first. Shenmue on Dreamcast was one of the most phenomenal things ever created. For those who know, know. But those that don't, it was like real life. Open world but you could actually interact with almost every npc and enter every shop. Map wasn't huge, but it was perfect size for what it tried to do. Game is a classic and doesn't get the respect or props it deserves because it didn't sell that well. Dreamcast in general was the goat, just got caught up in the ps2 era

Just out of curiosity how old were you when these came out?

Hmm, I'd say it was the bronze age if anything

It was. Gears of war, cod, parties, lobbies

Madden 2001 was the biggest jump in any piece of art it was insane experiencing that

man ive been looking at some GOW s*** recently and its insane how good 3 and Ascension still look

I’ve post this before but short answer yes

2000-2013/2014 was the golden age honestly

God of War Acension multiplayer was very underrated as well

ima go with 2k14 old gen -> 2k14 new gen

that real time shift to new graphics/game engine on the same game was mind blowing

Classic after classic crazy times
