When it gets achievements on Retroachievements dot com and I finally have a reason to play it

Retro implies "past style"

2D Mario became retro overnight with Mario 64.
Meanwhile the difference between Sunshine and Odyssey is much smaller despite the longer timespan

>>729010841
When it's design is no longer prevalent in current video games.

/v/ told me that PS2 and above can never be retro
>>
>>729010841
was it released on the ps3?
then it's retro
>>
>>729010841
I'd say after 10 years.
>>
>>729010841
The game is more than 10-15 years old
>>
>>729010936
That's "technology-oriented" retro. We're in "time-oriented" retro now because technology is the same for the lower class who plays video games.

>>729010841
20 years or older.
PS3 and Wii will be retro in a year, and 360 is already retro
>>
>>729010841
the game is old enough to be considered 'good' or a 'flawed gem' even though it was just 'shit' at release
>>
>>729010841
When it released 3 console generations ago.
>>
>>729010841
20 years is good. One generation of humans.
