Is it just me or was the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube era of consoles kinda unsettling and creepy? I feel like their system menus having dark color themes and weird sounds would have creeped me out as a kid

Starcross@mk.absturztau.be@druid It’s interesting seeing people in the comments of videos with the system menu talking about how many small, unnoticeable details mean something in the PS2 menu
Maybe that feels like something that, as a kid I’d be creeped out by the menu but as I grow older I’d learn to appreciate it

@Starcross idk but the tail end of the lifecycle of the xbox was the beginning of the realism era of gaming and the ps2 obviously had tons of good horror games and stuff, and that’s when twilight princess came out on gamecube, soooo- i mean i guess Dark and Gritty was just the vibe for a bit

It's pretty notable how the NES was advertised to families with young children, the SNES and Genesis were advertised to bodacious and/or radical tweens, and then the GameCube/PS2 were advertised to young adults. It's like AAA games a medium initially tracked their tones to a single generation of players.
