Yeah, we're old.

360/ps3/wii is retro

dont post rope fuel man

>>716441662
I just interacted with a 23 year old chick who kept calling me ‘sir’

>the ps1 was 57 years ago

Retro is a specific era not "X years ago"

>>716442038

gen 5 is the last retro gen and you can feel it.

>>716441420 (OP)
gen 7 will never be retro

>>716442038
So in 20 years the Switch 2 won't be retro? Delusional.

2005 was 70 years ago

Oldfags screeching about zoomers and their back pain in 3...

>>716442024
At least the current youth still respects their elders.

>>716442246
the switch 2 will never be retro because what the fuck why would it ever be retro? It's so completely different to retro games that it would be insane to compare them. Maybe there'll be another term for the gen 6 to gen, idk, gen 10 or gen 11 games in the future, but retro will not be that term.

>>716442104
Gamecube is retro

And the games havent gotten any better, the whole industry is stuck because the players consist of retards who would rather just keep eating the same slop over and over again with little to no iteration. And when something different gets popular its usually built off of the legacy of old games, cheaped by modernization. This industry deserves to die.

>>716442594
No it isn't.

>>716442246
Retro is more than 20 years and as the timeline of games keeps increasing retro keeps getting pushed back. In 2000 we said Atari was retro because it was old but gaming had only been around for 25+ years which is a relatively short timeline now that it’s been around for 50+ we have a larger timeline and basis of comparison things don’t automatically become ‘retro’ at some 20ish year number. I played GameCube at launch as an older teen and I wouldn’t call it retro, it’s just older to me still.

>>716442681
That pic is from a Gamecube game

>>716442024

i haven’t spoken to a chick who wasn’t a family member in over 23 years, you basically had sex with her compared to my existence

>>716442681
Define retro then.

Even the NES was considered retro in 2000, and it wasn't even 20 years old. Games don't advance that quickly anymore.

STOP YOUR GOING TO MAKE ME CRY

>>716442954
Why, what happened on that day?

>>716441420 (OP)
Shut the fuck up millennial-tard. This is a zoomer board now

>>716442038
Literally the inverse. Retro literally means "of the past". There's no one Retro era. In the 1960s, people had Retro-1920s nostalgia. In the 1990s "people" (Boomers can loosely be categorized as people) had Retro-1960s nostalgia.

In the 2050s, 2020s stuff will be Retro, but I don't think anyone will have nostalgia for this shitty decade.

>>716442503
>It's so completely different to retro games that it would be insane to compare them
It's insane to compare space invaders to Shenmue

In 10-15-ish years people are going to have nostalgia for late 2010s era games. Gen Alphags are going to opine about how Breath of the Wild, Hollow Knight, and Subnautica are retro masterpieces.

>>716443030
You retards were celebrating its death during the downtime.

>>716443129
>what a /v/ meme from a few years ago actually is

>>716443132
This. Or comparing Pong to Ocarina of Time. Why is 5th gen retro but 6th gen isn't?

>>716443009
Retro ended

>>716442038
Nah, that is a retarded take, retro for me is when a console is two generations behind, so yes, the PS3 and X360 are retro consoles, cope and seethe /vr/etard.

Is DS retro?

>>716443293
So Banjo-Kazooie is retro but Donkey Kong 64 isn't?

>>716442986
>Games don't advance that quickly anymore.
That's bullshit. Modern games run at 4K resolution at 60fps.
That stuff was considered completely impossible in the 2000s.

>>716443265
because I say so.

desu personally I would call retro any console that is not a PC. call it X86 X64 ARM.

>>716443460
I don't make the rules bozo

Bush was still president and Michael Jackson was still alive when it came out, it's retro.

>>716442024
her pussy was wet, dude

>>716443486
And I used an emulated screenshot for PS2.
In reality they even more pixelated and blocky.

>>716441420 (OP)
>what feels like 17 years ago

>>716443486
And I used an emulated screenshot for PS2.
In reality they were even more pixelated and blocky.

>>716443621
Correct, Crysis is indeed retro, keep seething /vr/etard.

>>716442024
It's not truly over until a zoomer calls you unc

>>716443486
compare a 2015 game with today and show me the huge leaps made compared to a 1995 game to 2005

>>716443174
Some retards already have nostalgia for the 2015-era internet. Like it was the wild west or something.

>>716443706
I think as we mature as a medium we are starting to realize retro has a different connotation than "old game". We haven't really advanced much past the seventh generation, graphically or gameplay wise. I believe they call this a solved medium

>>716443706
So 2009 360/PS3 games aren't retro?

>>716443369
Games can only improve so much so "two consoles behind" is a meaningless definition. Pretty soon "retro" and current day video games will look exactly the same. It would make a lot more sense to change the definition of retro than pretend gta6 and whatever gta they make after aren't the exact same thing. Retro to me in the context of video games is a specific style and era from the atari to the dreamcast/ps1/n64.

>covid lockdown was 19 years ago

>>716444132
They're also retro because they came out before the end of the mayan calendar

>>716444107
spörö

>>716444107
10 years ago is better than today, always.

>>716443486
>17 years apart
>no major gameplay changes despite the improved technology, just moar grafix
>UYA is still a better game anyway

good. zoomer girls love my fat older dick

>>716444143
Why just Dreamcast?

Here is my categorical definition for a "retro" console:
A video game console is considered retro when it is able to natively output an analog signal.

So yes, the PS3 and Xbox 360 are retro consoles.

>>716442594
Gamecube will never be retro.

>>716442594

>>716444594
That's retro as fuck, I wish games still looked like that.

>>716443980
GTA 6 will do that.
More NPCs, larger environments. Stuff that 512MB memory consoles could never pull off without major sacrifices.

>>716444107
That image is so outdated.
>2007-2014
7 years
>2014-2025
11 years

>>716443132
shenmue isn't retro lol

>>716442594
gcn will never be retro

>>716442038
The same goes for electric guitars and what qualifies as vintage. Only 50s and 60s guitars are vintage and it'll hold true even 50+ years from now.

>>716443980
>>716444715
Nothing on PS3/360 could ever match this detail.

>>716443174
nostalgia has nothing to do with the definition of retro

>>716444715
>>716444875
so it doesn't really look much better it just has more trash that drains resources shoved into it? got it

>>716444715
meanwhile games like the orginal deadrising or tons or gatbage anime musou games have more npcs on screen than any AAA released in the last 8 years.

>>716444560
The Wii will be Retro on November 19th next year.

>>716441420 (OP)
Time pases and I hate it

>>716444978
Yes it does. Retro is time-based.

>>716444560
I think the ps4 can do that too.

>>716444715
Tbh this looks like a ps4 game and I'm not even memeing, it looks like just cause 3. I wasn't impressed by either of the GTA 6 trailers.

For this particular scene Rockstar simply spawned in 15 NPCs, but they won't be there in the full game. The beach will be much emptier too.

>>716444560
>Wii U is retro

>>716443901
>>716444594
>>716444660
are graphics like these doable for a solo dev? this is the sweetspot desu
i used to love low poly stuff until it became overstaurated and coopted by troons

>>716444443
The video games there look and feel retro and the video games made on newer consoles do not

>>716441420 (OP)

>>716441420 (OP)
>another demoralization thread and zoomies want to shoehorn in their 7th gen slop into retro conversations

Retro means it came out before the timeline shifted when the towelheads attacked the United States

Retro = >19 years old

>>716445207
Nope, it only has HDMI
>>716445047
Yes, the Wii is retro too.
>>716445234
Yes, it has output to a CRT without any converter

>>716445360
Bush doesn't have a towel on his head tho

>>716445360
The timeline shifted in 2012

>>716444995
>>716445229
You got rose tinted goggles. This is what PS4 games use to look like. They were still much smaller and less complex than GTA 6.

>>716442376
It's the future where's my cyberpunk city

>>716445240
>are graphics like these doable for a solo dev?
no these games weren't made by solo devs

>>716442038
>>716444853
This is why I say I like old games not I like retro games, because I like old games that aren't in your guys' gay arbitrary timeframe too.

TF2 will be a retro game in 2 years.

>>716445173
Retro is not time-based. It's silly to march that stick regardless of context. We exited one era of gaming and entered a new one, that we're still in. That changeover happened in the late 90's.

>>716445350
I honestly can't wait for GTA V and TLOU and PSP/DS shovelware to be allowed on /vr/. I want to see just how atrociously unusable that board can really get.

>>716445240
If you're really, really talented, but you should ideally be working with a team.

>>716445607
Why?

>>716445582
The last gaming era transition was in 2016. 2020 if you want to be pedantic.

>>716445542
it already is, all games on HDMI are retro

>>716445360
timeline got shifted again this year
everyone wont shut the fuck up about time, age, and faggots like OP making "time has le pass" thread daily for shitty (you)s
last year felt completely sane compared to this void of a year

>>716443486
>Modern games run at 4K resolution at 60fps.
They most certainly do not.

>>716445430
He might as well have had one considering both the Bush family and the Bin Laden family were financially connected and had been long before 9/11.

>>716445487
Idk man, it just doesn't look that great. The textures and models in your GTA 6 screenshot look pretty bad.

Why do zoomers want their shitty games to be retro so bad?

>>716445668
Because it'll be funny? The board hasn't been good since gen 6 was allowed, so nothing of value would be lost.

>>716445680
>The last gaming era transition was in 2016. 2020 if you want to be pedantic.
there's no fucking difference between a game from 2011 and a game from 2021
there's also no difference between either and 2001
stop lying nigger

>>716445737
They're attention whores. That's why they straight up lie and make fake PS2 boxarts of PSP games to try to discuss them on /vr/.

>>716444107
>>716444742
Only as in it doesn't truly show how bad things really are

>>716445475
No it shifted in 2009
>>716445980

>>716445737
im starting to believe they dont want their shit to retro and more like they want to discard any current retro with their cancer anti-consumer starting crap to own "boomers" for shitting on their slop
either that or "ITS MY REAL CHILDHOOD NOT YOURS SO STOP TALKING ABOUT BLEEP BLOOPY GAMES :skull:"

>>716445967
excuse me? sauce now

I spent 3 hours last Saturday arguing with some faggot on here shitting all over Dark Messiah only for him to eventually reveal he was 21 years old and only watched videos of the game, never played it himself because it was "too janky and dated".

I'm arguing on here with people that were literally in diapers when this site was still fun, calling everything we used to cherish shit.

>>716445240
yes

boomer millenials still browse /v/?

this is like vintage now

>>716445542
Not with the current fanbase
Same goes for any ongoing source game

6th gen should be removed from /vr/ and made into its own board - /v2k/

>>716441420 (OP)
2004 was 15 years ago.

Is DS 6th gen or 7th gen?
Or is it both

Retro is a style.
Maybe a music analogy would be fitting: like how people still plays classical music and even creates "new classics" songs.
Another one:
>guitar
nes
snes
>electric guitar
n64
>virtual guitar
wii
wiiu
switch
switch 2

>>716446920
Booba is fine
You're being overly stimulated over anime babes everyday you overlook at its quality just like ironic anime fans

For multiple reasons the PS4/PS5 generation are basically tied together.

We've basically had a 12 year generation.

Or 13 if you believe the rumors of next gen Xbox coming in 2026.

I think once the next generation arrives people will actually consider the 360/PS3 to be retro console.

>>716442038
anyone who disagrees with this is retarded

>>716441420 (OP)
all threads about the past remind me how much potential i wasted and how fun it was to play vidya as a child with no obligations and responsibilities

>>716447356
7th gen.

>>716446327
The internet has a whole has gotten like this nobody makes fun of bad fan fiction anymore, the large libraries of modded content for games like HL1 or Jedi Knight are barely discussed and classic YouTubers like RSJGaMeRPrO, LordofCorruption and Incogneatus have been forgotten.
Everything good has been destroyed and paved over with garbage like FNAF, Mr. Beast, Fortnite etc.

>>716442038
It's measured as a range of X-Y years from <start of field>

>>716447402
everything in moderation
I cannot think of the last game that had a middle ground for sex appeal. Marvel Rivals perhaps?

>>716447221
Then leave. /v/ has daily gacha threads, daily loli threads for gacha lolis, a whole ass general for the dime dozen chink gachas in /vg/ and a legion of rabid fans that swear that paying 20 bucks for a moving PNG + 3 animations is a legit investment of your money and you are a total faggot for not liking this.
People complained about on-disk DLC 15 years ago. Now people complain about the lack of pointless DLC
No /v/ for old men

>>716441420 (OP)
i dont care at this point shit hasnt been good since i was like 2

pre-2007 (hd era truly begins)is retro

>cod is considered a retro franchise

>>716445737
Because it's funny but also a reality shock because what we grew up with is (or is almost) 20+ years old and would be labeled "retro". When we were young, retro meant your childhoods, but now it's our childhoods as well.
You can cry all you want, but there's literally nothing we can do against the flow of time. I too will bitch like you when gen alpha's childhoods become retro and my back starts to hurt like yours. It's already weird seeing unironic fortnite threads on /v/. I'm not even 30 yet and I'm starting to feel out of touch.

>>716448803
only a matter of weeks before they go up in price like the ps2

>>716448950
nah unless an e celeb makes a video about it

At this point, probably

Yahoo chose to destroy and delete that data. Making it a political conspiracy is dumb, especially when the conspiracy-minded typically want the government to do LESS.

>>716452283
Yahoo are also incredibly woke and now mostly publish pro-woke propaganda.
It wasn't necessary a top down political conspiracy it was more of an ideologically driven action hence why Yahoo blocked most attempts at archiving it.
