if the 90’s were defined by classic retro videogames with pixel and “old” graphics, then why was music and images so high quality?? for example, in 1995 radiohead released “the bends”, a cool album!! but it doesn’t sound like it was made in 1995, because in 1995 videogames were pixelated and had blurry graphics, shouldn’t it have been that way too?? if technology was that way in 1995?? why does that album sound so high quality and modern if it was made around the same time old retro games were made?? thank you!?
Video games in the 90s were limited by CPU and system/cartridge size (really the size of ICs), where recording studios were not, so things could be big.
But really, video games were new, the artform was barely there, and music has been around for centuries.
Edit: in the early 90s, translator size was 0.5um, or 500nm. Today, 5nm is not uncommon.
Also of note: That’s in 2 dimensions, so you can fit 10000 transistors in that same space.
thank you very much!! factual!! they were different technologies then ok!
