@Kirino @ins0mniak @dcc @pwm @jae @sysrq @j Early PSX games looked like shit. So the leap didn't feel too big until FF7.

The fancy gear was in arcades, though, until the Dreamcast. And of course, arcades are more like "rolling releases", so the jump was noticeable but it didn't feel like a discrete event. I do remember Mario 64 feeling like a major jump.
