Is any one else getting TOO accustomed to next gen graphics??

Just look at the first xbox launch games, then look at splinter cell chaos theory; its not even close. Just imagine 3 years from now what the games will look like when developers understand how much more they can do. GRAW isnt using a fraction of the total power im guessing, how could it when they have only had the kits for 6-8 months (according to IGN the game has been done since december/jan). I have an hdtv, and while the graphics are nice, Im still not in "awe" of it. I wish I could turn off all the clutter on the screen so I can see more of the nice environment though...

I can barely look at my ugly ugly PS2 games anymore.

Oddly, old school SNES and N64 stuff is still holding up great!

there is no option to turn off the HUD or enemy locators and stuff like in GR2:SS?

Nah, next gen still impresses me. Both GRAW and Burnout blew me away. But I pop in a current gen game and it does nothing for me. Black is a pretty game, but I pop in any next gen game, and Black goes to being very normal.

Same here. I was even very impressed by the clarity and colorfulness of PERFECT DARK ZERO, even though I didn't care for the gameplay, and some could argue that the character graphics were a little cartoony. No, I have yet to get spoiled by the next gen graphics, but you do poise a good question.

Yea, I loved the graphics for PDZ. The character models were off but the textures and bump mapping of the enviroments were great. COD was probably the most graphically unimpressive game I've played so far...IMO of course.

That's because SNES and N64 stuff is so far away from realistic looking graphics you don't compare it to real life like you do game systems where it's closer (albeit still a videogame-ish look) to reality like the PS2 & Xbox.

As for me nothing has worn off yet, I am still amazed everytime I turn on my 360. However I don't play games near as much as some of y'all either (i'm mostly a weekend gamer as I'm too busy thru the week) so maybe that has something to do with it.
