I truly don't know how to explain this to anyone who wasn't around then. (startrek.website)

Yeah, I feel like everything we have now could have been done on the PS3 and Xbox 360. At least gameplay wise. Before that they were quite limited in terms of RAM. The big open world games probably couldn't have been done prior to that gen. Stuff like Assassin's Creed 2 or Far Cry 3 wouldn't have been possible at all on PS2, I feel.

The closest they had was GTA SA which had huge nearly empty areas to hide the loading of the main city areas.

I'm just going to butt in and say that Far Cry 3 is the most ridiculously perfectly optimised game I've ever played. I managed to get it running on internal graphics of an old laptop in 800x600 resolution with potato settings and it was genuinely still enjoyable. I think I played through it halfway like that before I got my pc back.
