Not surprisingly to me anymore. Didn't interest me much way back when. But then I got to play Battle Gear 2&3 that are some of the best (as well as ugliest) arcade racers on PS2. As well as TrackMania Wii (not quite ugly, but very "plain Jane" for a car game), which is almost indepletably engrossing to me played utterly singleplayer. Taught me to tolerate very barebones presentation in my car games. If it's called OutRun and it's by Sega, it's gotten my attention.
I've felt lately that any new console, even relatively low-tech, that would guarantee 60 fps in majority of its titles, and also - offer mostly games like those budget remakes/follow-ups (not only by Sega, but stuff like Space Raiders too) would be a console just for me. Remember how PS2 Virtual On remake offered video modes up to 1080i? On PS2, no less. And it was HARDLY ugly a game. Just a small console with durable controllers and a library's worth of such games would be very welcome under my telly.
