Yes for a few reasons. The gameplay, voice acting and cut scene direction as well as the graphics.

The Witcher 3 for PS1 demake video

The fact that so few people are actually commenting on that ending shows that they aren't actually watching the video lol.
Yes, regardless of some exceptions like Vagrant Story, that's just one of several thousand games. Other eras tend to hold up most of their library better.
You could do "PS1 style" visuals but they would need to be romanticized and look like what you "remember" and not like they actually looked. It is pretty much exactly what happens with pixel art. No 8 bit or 16 bit games look half as good as today's indies.

They were both top tier for the time period. Compare vagrant Story to MGS. In MGS they don't even having moving mouths or eyes. The art direction is also superb and the movement/transformations they had were amazing for the time.
Yep...
Just gonna drop some gifs in here.
Chrono Cross
FF IX
Legend of Mana
Megaman Legends
Vagrant Story
the fog is way too close, IMO. don't think being "accurate" in this game works. retro stylings should be more of a rose-tinted view of the past to be most effective. even more so when doing 3D
It's running on PS1 hardware.
Edit - Seems similar to "Nightmare creatures" culling distance
Triss is my waifu also.
Yep...
Just gonna drop some gifs in here.
Chrono Cross

Vagrant Story
Don't start posting Chrono Cross screens, you're gonna bring out my coomer side.
Because it might be more visually fresh than rote, paint-by-numbers AAA(A) modern design?
I mean there's a reason why people responded to the raw sound of Pearl Jam & Nirvana off the heels of overproduced metal/rock that immediately preceded it.
They're way too many already. I find this art style ugly as sin, it made me drop gaming back in the mid nineties berore getting used to it at the end of the gen, coming from state of the art pixel art to this mess was really harsh at the time

To each their own. I find basically all pixel art to be unattractive.
I'm not particularly fond of the early 3D style of the PS1 but I gotta say, in this case, it works really well. It sort of adds to the whole eerieness of the visuals kind of like film grain and lens artifacts can add to a horror movie. I definitely think horror games have a ton of room for experimentation with visuals. Here's an example of a horror game that uses this sort of old silent film look to achieve ultimate creepiness.
no way.
3D N64 games such as Zelda, Banjo, Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Starfox 64 etc etc have aged much better than the majority of ps1's library.
That doesn't disprove their point tbh. If anything, Vagrant stands out so much that it's the exception that proves the rule.

Maybe you're both right and people just have different preferences.
It's my favourite "retro" look, tbh. It just has so much charm.
N64, on the other hand, I find very ugly today.
