Are pre-2010 games considered retro games now?

>>11877790 (OP)
I'm pretty sure retro is now defined as 20 years ago, so those won't be retro until 2030

No and they never will be. Retro isn't just defined by time passed but by a difference in style, and there is no difference between 7th gen and today.

>>11877825
Exactly. Zero difference, it's all the exact same style and aesthetic.

>>11877867
6th gen isn't retro either, but it's allowed

I look at that collage of games and I see nothing worth discussing even a little bit.

Maybe Galaxy 2. The only thing worth saying about the galaxy games is how braindead they are. They make you play for 50 hours until they finally stop the gimmicks and start throwing a little challenge at you, and then the game is over like an hour later

You can post about drug usage and TMNT on this board don't worry.

Yeah no difference between 6G and 7G...

I got my thread about Halo 2 killing split screen gaming deleted several months ago. Your clampdown is even more retarded. Do mods just hate the game you posted?

>>11877890
all 6th gen consoles had internet connectivity. They are just weaker versions of 7th gen consoles but equally retro

>>11877892
I got banned too for talking about James Rolfe because it was "off-topic". Okay sure, I'll take that, but then I see everything else going on and it makes you wonder.

>>11877890
>>No internet connectivity
LOL
>>Video games made for CRT
360 didn't have hdmi on release, wii never had it, ps3 bundled with composite till 2012 and I used that shit
>>Huge technical limitation
????
>> japanese gaming at it's best
was in 90s
>>Main focus is still hardcore gamers not casuals
Like GTA and God of war and wind waker hahaha

Zoomers are spamming these threads hoping they will just get accepted eventually. It’s not retro just because you played it as a kid

7G will only be retro if there is a shift in game design/consumption method

Like if VR became the norm

the mod on /vr/ is based and does a great job policing this place

>>11877937
>obvious thinly veiled /pol/ shit bait
>>noooo why was "VIDEO GAME" thread deleted!!!

Every single time. Cry more.

The moment 7th gen is allowed is the moment the few quality posters left will be gone and /vr/ will basically be /v/ 2

>>11877790 (OP)
i just got New Vegas with all DLC for $8 so i'll have a bit more to talk about with the older dolls :3

i heard i need to play a specific way to manage memory so it doesn't crash?

The industry has trained me to not touch games until they're "dead" and cold. If i see anything about a "season pass" i move on and check back in a few years

>>11877914
that worked for 6th gen

>>11877825
>and they never will be
you think videogames will be the same forever now? nothing will be any different from the seventh gen in 2050?

>>11877914
It will work eventually. The real solution always was making /vr/ and /v2k/

>>11877937
>the mod on /vr/ is based and does a great job policing this place
this but unironically

>>11877942
/vr/ jannies are definitely some of the better on the site. yes, there have been times where i've made threads where i legitimately wanted discussion and they still deleted them, but i'd rather an overzeealous one than laissez-faire ones. that's how you get /v/where it's literally groundhog day with the same threads seething over the same things day in and day out.

>>11877942
Some of us have been posting before /pol/, the website didn't begin when /pol/ did.

>>11877975
The countries that develop videogames won't exist by 2050.

You are what's wrong with this board

>>11877942
You lost, get over it.

Jannie’s clean it up

If or once they are, it will probably follow the previous rules and permit all 7th gen game discussion. I would also hope for a more clarified “year cutoff” than what we have with the current rules, especially in regards to PC games.

could you imagine the epic fallout new vegas and demon souls discussions?!
