>>712898618 (OP)

I really feel like games have not improved very much graphically from this era at all.

Very incremental changes, compared to the broad, sweeping graphical changes going from PS2 into this era.

The fuck happened?

>>712898618 (OP)
The only reason the Uncharted game ever got popular was because it let people play games that were colourful on their new hdtvs. If you were there, you would remember gamers were sick of the aesthetics of these games. Thoughbeit, most play better than the trash we get today.

Yes. FPS games are back thanks to nudoom and dusk. Indies are stronger than ever, japs got their heads from asses and no longer attempt to "we want cod audience".

Don't look up SSBB

Zoomers are fucking retarded and will never understand the context of this generation.

To understand why this generation was incredible, you have to follow the progression of technology in gaming. Most of the people who were playing games had been doing so since NES, or SNES times, and every generational leap was incredible, filled you with hope and possibility for the future.
Because gaming has been stagnant for most of zoomers' entire fucking lives, they can't grasp this sense of wonder we all had during this time, and all of the graphical showpieces of this generation are completely lost on them.
TL;DR you missed out and you're living in the worst timeline for gaming

>>712903824

>>712903935
See that's the thing : the pissfilter era is when theaverage player started feeling diminushing returns in the generation leaps.
The generalization of online play was the real step in that generation. Visually, it was nowhere near as much of a jump.

>>712904104
Yes, games look better now, zoomzoom -- 20 fucking years later.

But they don't look PS2 to PS3 level better. Or PS1 to PS3, or N64 to PS3, or SNES to PS3.
You're clueless and have no context, exactly like I said.

Was the NES retro the day it came out? No? How about the SNES? Clearly not. They had to become retro at some point. If retro as a term is incapable of growing, then it shouldn't have come about in the first place.

>>712899986
Hard to say. In terms of AAA titles it was the start of taking jewery to new heights. While we've also seen an increase in number and quality of indie games, recently the sheer amount of asset flips, trend chasers and nostalgia-bait eclipses the amount of shovelware over several generations and even makes some of them look good in comparison.
Honestly, I'd also argue we have too many good games as well, which spreads player bases thinner, dilutes conversations and culture about them and quickly turns many of them into FotM as people jump from one popular thing to the next. Feels like newer games have lesser staying power compared to older games because older games had more time in the spotlight during their time before being overshadowed by the next big thing, which leads to more conversations, metahumor and other shit, creating a larger footprint and long term relativity.
TLDR; Too much everything.

>>712904387

It REALLY wasn't. In fact for how much zoomers want to pretend gamergate, half of them act like stupider variants of the arguments.

>>712904636
I can't anymore. Well, I sort of can, but I can't in good faith say that games haven't been changing over the last 15 years or so, even if it's not "progression" like it used to be. PS2 being similar enough to PS3 I can agree to, PS3 being the exact same as PS5 I can't, so either retro is moving forward again or PS2 era game design actually resembles PS5-era stuff over the PS3.
On a related note... Did you know in most other fields, "retro" means a constantly rotating set of trends from 20-40ish years ago? Doesn't have to imply people moved on from those trends because they figured out how to manufacture something better.

>>712904768
I can't even tell what this post is supposed to be saying, learn english.

>>712904519
in my honest opinion i think it doesn't matter the definition of retro, there's a huge cultural shock between oldfags and internet kids who grew up on gen6 and beyond, allowing the average /v/ kids on /vr/ just made things worse for everyone

>>712899978

I know.

All I can remember from the 7th gen was just renting a generic TPS or FPS game every week and being done with them after finishing their campaign in a few hours, what a shitty generation, I'm glad Japan got its shit together in the 8th gen otherwise I would have stopped playing games altogether.

i've been on this board for years and i still haven't seen a single good argument proving that gaming today as a whole is better than 7th gen gaming as a whole

>>712905256
I will repeat my question, since you are braindead
>Who are you quoting, subhuman?

>>712905364
The only real step up is that indie games can now reasonably be available for every major platform.

>>712904282
Way I lived through it, it was more
>oh cool, console games now look like PC games, about time
>oh, half of them are the same titles too
>only console with its own full identity is the Wii
>and it's because it can't run Medal of Duty of War : Brown Warfare
Might all be the early-onset dementia though but I remember the console games not being as impressive because PC was there and easier to deal with than it hadpreviously been. So it felt more like consoles were catching up and the real kicker was the internet and online multi.
It wasn't completely clear that the generation leaps were getting less noticeable, but it sure wasn't as big as it had been with the generalization of 3D with the 64bit era, or the end of low-poly

>>712905364
the only thing better now is that you can easily emulate 7th gen, if you care about those games that is

>>712902334
Man.
Mario Sunshine, PSO and Outrun. Literally all I need every summer.

>>712905087
Well retro just means "past" so maybe we need some better terminology. But I don't find stuff like Rachet & Clank all that different from games of today. Although there's maybe an argument for the widerspread inclusion of online elements.

>>712904474

>>712905724
>maybe we need some better terminology
If your goal is to establish a specific era in gaming history with a specific year at the beginning and end? Then yes.
If your goal is to establish a sense of "you can tell this is different mostly because it is older and not because it was intentionally made different" then retro works just fine.
I don't think the game's design needs to be all that different for it to be retro. Take an open world game from before the advent of the Ubisoft Tower, for instance. Anyone who's played modern games would absolutely be able to detect a difference in how the open world is designed and presented.
Every genre has little things like this that add up and allow a game to date itself even when it "isn't that different", in my opinion.

>>712899934
PC gaming was dogshit in the 90s too. Most games were running at sub 18fps until DirectX and OpenGL made their way to Windows in the late 90s.

Arcade gaming had the edge with 3d graphics until the 6th gen.
But for a while, no consumer hardware was able to compete with the Model 2, System 22, or Model 3.

Yeah, now we have large open levels that aren’t a series of claustrophobic corridors strung together with stable frame rates because the visuals are punching well above the technology in a bid to trick gullible customers into buying it off the graphics alone. What an absolute fucking tragedy.
Also you’re a blind as fuck stupid nigger who can’t see the low poly wax figure character models and terrible looking stretched natural geometry with obvious jaggies and low resolution repeating texture covering them

Love my nigga sarge Johnson. And I'm a racist skinhead

7th generation has TWO differentes eras:

the first and good onoe: 2005-2011 (september)

the second one and the worst thing ever: 2011 (october) - 2013

>>712905364
It's better if you're not an AAA cock gobbler
Reality is, 7th Gen was also trash

2006 games

>>712911979
Average 7th Gen nostalgiafag

Halo 4 fans were like that, shitty ass game

>>712918941
>more games worth playing released in a single year than from th entirety of 2018-2025

>Manly death: Heterosexual warfare
When was the last of it's kind released? Before 2015?

>>712919068
Halo 2 and 3 fans were like that as well but 18-21 instead of 10-12.
7th Gen, espcially later 7th Gen was tailor made for retards.

Thank god for mobile phones as most casual retards fucked off there instead.

>>712919469
STOP PLAYING AAA SHIT RETARD

>>712919469
black ops in 2010 or the phantom pain in 2015?

Don't know. Maybe a call of duty post 2010? when was the last good one the one in 2010?

>>712898618 (OP)
worst thing about this gen is that it lead to the consoleification of pc gaming

>>712919179
Publishers buying out every single company en masse that clueless retards like yourself knew nothing about, dumbing down the gameplay, adding "Hollywood setpieces to it" and marketing so hard the budget triples the development cost.
Then shutting down most of them and releasing the same one game that did the best for the next 10 years.
Thanks for buying all that DLC and paying for all those months of paid online retard!

>>712919672
Yep, it's better now thankfully

>>712919485
Halo 3 multiplayer lobbies were great tho

>>712919846
>Yep, it's better now thankfully
wtf are you on about, matchmaking has become the standard now and most of the big budget games we get on pc are just poorly optimised console ports

>>712911306
we didn't know how good we had it

>>712899986

>Last soulful console generation
The beginning of the end more like. The generation where developement costs started ballooning to insane levels and AA studios were dying. The generation that defined the 3rd person cinematic movie game. The generation that REALLY tried chasing realism with brown and bloom. The generation where even jocks really started playing vidya because of COD and shit. There have been of course some better moments after that but ultimately the spiral goes downwards. PS and XBOX don't have killer apps anymore and their consoles are obsolete out of the gate because they will eventually just port everything to PC. Nintendo keeps shitting out Nintendo stuff, which is good if you happen to like it. Consoles had their place in the sun, now they are obsolete. PS360 era was the blow that we never fully recovered from.

I currently just started replaying MGS4. I'm emulating it this time. I forgot how much I enjoyed this aesthetic. Sure we bitched about it at the time after it became over saturated (not color wise, but the amount of games that had this aesthetic), but in 2008, it was so kino.

>>712918452
You're the one seething. From what I’ve seen, normies started getting fatigued with anti-woke content when Synthetic Man complained about the Black Space Marine. A literall subhuman who knows nothing about lore whinning

>>712920404
>matchmaking has become the standard now
On big budget games

Exactly

Stop buying big budget games, they're all trash

Maybe if you liked 12 year olds calling you a faggot whenever they killed you because console shooter + shit netcode

>Competing with each other
PS3 was a non-element until everything went multiplat in 2009 and consolewars stopped being a thing entirely, and by that time Microsoft had completely shit up the PC market.

>>712921598
Why do I have to pick between faggot shit and a walking simulator? They used to make good FPS games.

>>712919575
>posts 1 (one) AA game as an example.
post another AA game worth playing that released recently

>>712921802

Maybe find a team that isn't shit?

18 years olds calling you a nigger while you raped their whole team and changed your name to mock his own was better.

What's the next meme color combo they'll force into every videogame once the purpleblue trend fades?
Something with bright yellows would be cool

>>712899690
FPBP

>>712924081
I want an era of games that are down to earth in the sense that they try to be their own thing, don't try to poorly ape older and better games and aren't designed from the get go to be huge memes

>>712923236
Is this ironic?

>>712898618 (OP)
I liked RE5 because it took place in Nigeria and I am Nigerian.

>>712918892
