Thread 719097802

These console aren't retro, because the 7th gen never ended. The main features found on a PS5 are practically identical to a PS3, and vice versa for Xbox 360.

I mean you're not wrong, gameplay wise people still gobble generic shoulder TPS up like the resident evil games

>>719097802 (OP)
There's a massive gap between these consoles and the PS2 and earlier due internet connectivity, as big as the arcades and home consoles.
The design of the games are directly affected by how the developers will profit off the game.

>>719097802 (OP)
Check the catalog of PS4 and PS5, a good chunk of those games are ports or remasters of seventh gen titles. And low budget japanese games still look like seventh gen games (Atelier, Neptunia, Disgaea.)

>>719097802 (OP)
You moved to 8th gen when you got a Switch and Steam Deck, you're moving to 9th gen when you get a Switch 2 and when you get a Steam Deck 2. PlayStation and Xbox have been singing the same tune since the 7th gen with no form of innovation. It's time for them to go.

>>719097802 (OP)
one could argue those consoles had MORE features, as in, kinect

I could play a 15 year old game like Bayonetta right now and not really notice any sort of egregious aging factor or aspect of the game that feels of a "different" time, aside from sheer fidelity. The game is still modern. However, if you played a 15 year old game in Bayonetta's release year- 2010, it would become immediately obvious that the game is of a "different time" (that being the mid 90s). Something being retro isn't an arbitrary period of time that has to pass, it actually has to evoke feelings of a different age. You could swap out Bayonetta with a lot of 7th gen games, BamHam, CoD, Dead Space, Uncharted, it doesnt really matter. What matters is that they are all still modern to this day.

>kinect and eyetoy
Those were poor attempts to ape Nintendo's waggle controls. Though the Kinect was pretty impressive tech for its time. The Eyetoy was a meme, only really good for light gun games.

If we are going to go by this gay nigger logic we were in the 3rd gen until PS2 because "the features" were "put the shit in and the game happens".

The first few years of PS3 and 360 releases feel like HD 6th gen games.
>Call of Duty 3
>Bullet Witch
>Burnout Revenge
>Full Auto
>Beautiful Katamari
All feel like PS2 games

>>719098337
>Switch 1
>8th Gen
It might have been a better console than the Xbox Series/PS5, but it's still a glorified android tablet with 7th gen features and performance. Switch 2 is actually 8th gen and the Steam Deck doesn't count because PC games are inherently hardware agnostic.

>>719098526
This is just because games have a big homogenizayion problem.

>>719099153
Xbox and PlayStation are still 7th gen consoles and their failures during that generation have finally caught with them.

>all tps are still re4/tlou clones
>all fps are still cod clones
>all action rpgs are still souls clones
>most open world games are still asscreed clones
i mean, yeah. game design hasn't really changed since then. you can boot up mgs4 right now and it feels like a modern game despite being 17 years old.

Recently broke out my PS3, playing on my tink 4k. Not sure how I missed Dante's inferno but it's peak fucking soul

>>719100189
Does it add anything?

I use my Retrotink 5x for my PS2 but I just raw dog my PS3.

And you missed Dantes Inferno because only no taste gay niggers play EA games (i like it too).

>>719100438
It's not the best generation to use with the tink, but I do have a profile that adds a mask that cleans up the textures very nice. At sitting distance it's very clean. Also in general, the 4k upscaling is far cleaner than tv upscales, it's extremely blurry on every TV I've ever tried it on and I just can't stand that shit. Another thing is the HDR performance for games is actually pretty fucking nuts. I thought it was just going to look all bloomed out and fucked up but it legit looks like something you'd see with RTX HDR.

This pic is like right up next to my screen on a 4k 65 inch

>>719100438
And here is the base image without any profile.

You can apparently add an LCD grid that looks really nice but I haven't really fucked around with any custom stuff myself. I'm too retarded

>>719097802 (OP)
I would argue that there is a delineation point between the early 7th gen 2005-2007 mid 7th gen 2008-aprox 2011 and the late 7th gen 2012-2014.
The main factors defining them are the prevalence of FPS the the primary genre, the shrinkage of the AA marketplace, the prevalence of the indie market, the separation of the PC and console markets and the optimization of online features.

Because pre-COD4 the 7th gen was very much an extension of the 6th and during the mid years Xbox in particular was defined by its indie and arcade marketplaces as much as its big titles. And on top of that this was still the era where most PC ports of console focused games sucked and so the cultural separation between PC and Console was still upheld.

This all got blown away by the sheer force of greed by the end of the generations life however, and we have lived in an era that is mostly the same since. But I don't think one should discount the unique and now gone culture of the gen before it become ultra homogenized and its popular IP were milked forever.

I see, cool.

Ill stick with what I got though, looks fine for me.

>>719099193
I mean yeah, but that's part of what I'm trying to say. The "modern" video game was invented during the 7th console generation. We haven't really strayed all this time later aside from improvements in resolution and framerate.

>>719101169
Yeah, I mean it's not ideal for 7th gen. Once I move through this game and a few others that I missed for PS3 I'm going to move on to my homebrew PS2 and probably GameCube and I think that that's where it really shines. I forgot how much I really love the PS3 though, just such a cool fucking console

I'd say 8th gen exists, xbone/ps4/wiiu. But the ony one that truly feels like it evolved past that was the Switch, the sexbone and ps5 are basically late stage alternate versions. Switch 2 has the same problem. Hardware and software ground to a halt and 8th has been smeared out unnaturally long, with no real 9th gen in sight. They're basically evolving into what Steam machines wanted to be.

>>719097802 (OP)
The Master System isn't retro, because the 3rd gen never ended (unless you don't count Brazil)

I'd say 8th gen exists only because of the carrying over of libraries. For most 7th gen games it's either you play it on a 7th gen console or you buy whatever remasters they may or may not put out

>>719098803
Always felt like the xbones kinect was really fucking good and it was a mistake to drop it, hell the whole console was actually pretty damn nice and its no surprise why they focused so hard on the multimedia features.
You could easily drop one into a living room anywhere and it would be an improvements especially when you consider it and PS4 are still getting titles over a decade after release

>>719097802 (OP)
but dude uhhhh haptics and uhhhhh share button

>>719102473
I remember there was a huge backlash because "it's always listening literally 1984" but it seems like every gay nigger retard these days has an Alexa or whatever (i dont).
