it's been over 20 years since the 360 came out, why isn't it considered retro yet meanwhile the ps1 was already considered retro at time while it only came out 10 years before that?
HD consoles will never be retro
>>729060076fpbpSuper Mario 64 is a modern game and always will be.
>>729060035>it's been over 20 years since the 360 came outt...thats not true...
>>729060035His old 360? So he boughted a newer one?
>>729060035>it's been over 20 years since the 360 came outI remember playing Dead Rising with my brother
>>729060035time has passed......
>>729060035It's hard to say that "its the same thing as the PS2", because it's a console where you use your credit card to buy things on the internet.This change completely the way the games are designed and even the real life purpose they have.While you can find "old style games" on the 360, you also can find arcade ports on the NES.The gap is as wide between the "offline consoles" and "online consoles" like the PS360 and up.It's so bad even the gamecube and Wii end up radically different.
>>729060035360 had Minecraft, GTA5, and Skyrim. Gaming stagnated.
>>729060035Anything during the smartphone era can never be retro.
>>729060035No, it's a golden age console just barely.Retro: 1975-1995Golden age: 1996-2007Stagnant age: 2008-2015Decline age: 2015-2020Dark age: 2020-2025
>>729060440giga facts
>>729060440>Retro>Golden>Stagnant>Decline>DarkYou faggots always use this same chart(?) but with the current era as Dark, then work backwards from there.
>>729060440i think this only applies if you only count the AAA industry. There are so many great games coming out now from indies that are cheap and AA games too. the 2020's feel more like a renaissance. I'm definitely having more fun with games now than a decade ago.
>>729060035Retro means from my childhoodNot yoursMINE
>>729060440Retro needs to be cut up way more.
>>729060035It's a feel thing. People were talking about how the N64 and PS1 were retro in 2008 and yet the PS3/360 still are like this.
>>729060440>Stagnant age: 2008-2015>Decline age: 2015-20202015-2020 was better than 2008-2015 THOUGH
>>729060963I would argue that 2015-2020 was the worst period in gaming since the 1980s. Even 2020-2025 is better.
>>729060963jap games were really shit during the 2008-2015 era. took them so long to get used to the hd era. And some franchises never recovered like Final Fantasy.
>>729060035mostly autism but to be fair the only things that changed since then are graphics and forced DEI propaganda
The 360 is retro and the people whining about it are teenagers that weren't even alive when it came out lmao.The same people that want to whine about how GTAV/Online has been milked for years couldn't even begin to tell you how Skyrim TOTALLY doesn't feel like a game made almost 20 fucking years ago, even with the current release having a paid mods shop.
>>729061103yeah skyrim feels 20 years old because it has white people, unlike modern games
and the main licenses are still Ass creed and Call of Duty.360 won
Gen 6 was the last era to have a unique and distinct "video game" aesthetic before it all became realismslopno one is going to be making retro indie games going for the gritty piss filter look
>>729061143No it feels like it's 20 fucking years old because it actually operates under the expectation that you'd want to take screenshots instead of having a fucking annoying "photo mode" to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FUCK PLEASE GENERATE SOME ORGANIC INTEREST IN THIS GAME, PLEASE, PLEASE WE SPENT LITERALLY MILLIONS ON ANNOYING STREAMERS TO PRETEND OUR PIECE OF SHIT GAME IS INTERESTING PLEASE.Like, Skyrim is shit for other reasons.Mostly being a toilet for you to dump mods into, get bored, and flush.
>>729060035no sovl so it cant be retrooriginal xbox also isnt retro
>>729061326>realismslopYou mean pastel slop?
>>729061275>CoDi guess but the latest one did really bad sales wise but it's gonna take a couple of more flops to call it over>Ass creeddead for over a decade. Almost as irrelevant as halo now.
>>729060762>INDIE GAMES
>>729060121I agree with you but also fail to see what that has to do with HD consoles
>>729061326we've had pic related + marvel quips for a decade now.
Like, it probably doesn't even occur to some of you idiot children that the whole unfinished game scene thing that kicked off with minecraft didn't really go off until 2011, a year before eighth gen would formally start on home consoles.
>>729060440>Golden age: 1996-2007>Stagnant age: 2008-2015>Decline age: 2015-2020>Dark age: 2020-2025agree.>Retro: 1975-1995i don't agree, Retro isn't a period of time, it's when a certain amount of time passes and something old starts to feel nostalgic, Retro is the correct term for something that is more than 2 decades old.
>>729061562>latest AAA Corporate DEI SLOP
>>729061143>it has white peopleThis is the true reason that skyrim feels so comfy to everybody, even redditors, but they will never acknowledge it outloud.
>>729060035>why isn't it considered retroit is, any console 20 years or older is uncshit and nothing on them is worth playing.
>>729061805>uncshit
>>729061737No one wants to admit the glaring problem in modern games. It doesn't feel comfy for a very clear reason...
>>729062008>alyx in Half life 2 (2004).gif
>>729060035It will never be considered retro because soilennials were already in their teens by then and they refuse to grow up and acknowledge time has passed that they are old now.
>>729062008
>why isn't ps3 retro?
>>729062719>A game that came out 5 months before the PS4 came out>A game that came out a year before the Wii U would come out starting gen 8>A game that came out 9 fucking years ago>A game that came out 2 months before the ps4 came out>A game that didn't release until the ps4 was already outWOW, I LOVE THESE GAMES THAT ARE TOTALLY INDICATIVE OF STUFF PEOPLE PLAYED ON THE PS TRIPLE I'M SO ACTUALLY OLD AND DON'T LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE RETARD :DDD
>>729063345thanks for fact-checking this joke.
>>729063427Well maybe if it was actually funny I wouldn't have done that.
>>729061901if its not uncshit, it would be remade/remastered on newer, better hardware.
>>729062008The woman who took this pic was killed by niggers
>>729063427>It was a prank bro STOP
>>729063345lol seething
>>729060440The golden age started way earlier than 95 and definitely ended in the early 2000s, and anybody who thinks that the current state of games is worse than the actual dark age that was the miserable 'everything must be multiplayer everything must have mass appeal zero creativity allowed' period from the mid 2000s to mid 2010s is a special kind of retard.
>>729060440I think there's been enough good games in the last couple years.2018-2022 was really, really rough.
I refuse to call a console with GTAV on it "retro"That would be insanity.
>>729060035How can it be retro when we still getting the games from this gen re-released?
>a retro console has the same graphics as a Switch 1, a one gen old consoleWhat? Whats retro about that?
>>7290604402007 is such a stupid cutoff considering 2008 to 2011 mogs the shit out of 06-07. And calling that era stagnant is really retarded when we were getting great new IP's all the time, a revolution in physics with games like GTA4 and Bad Company 2, genre defining classics like Dark Souls and so on>>729064045>The golden age started way earlier than 95That's your nostalgia goggles talking. If anything it's being too generous considering how badly most early 3D games aged>and definitely ended in the early 2000sWhy would it end there when there wasn't any kind of drop in quality in the mid 2000's and we were still getting great games like MGS3, San Andreas, DMC3, NFS Most Wanted, Ratchet 3, Gran Turismo 4, etc.>than the actual dark age that was the miserable 'everything must be multiplayer everything must have mass appeal zero creativity allowed' periodThat sounds like the current era, just add in 'everything must also be battle royale season pass with paid skins gambling slot machine FOMO mass appeal slop'The current generation of games is the worst it's ever been. Calling it better than anything in the 2000's is actually the worst take imagineable
>>729060035Because nothing changed, retard. Games look and play the exact same. For something to be considered 'retro', it has to be different to what came after.It's the exact same reason why every generation post social media is known as 'zoomers'. They all act exactly the same and have the same styles and trends because their culture is globalized slop.
>>729067051>The current generation of games is the worst it's ever been.2015-2020 was worse than now
>things can only be retro if they don't hurt my feefeesWe went through literally the exact same fucking thing with sixth gen, and when twenty years have passed, we'll go through the exact same fucking thing with eighth.
>>729060035Because there is no meaningful difference in the way games look or play today. The rapid technological advances in the 90's made it easy enough to delineate retro and modern, you never saw a game look like a PS1 or N64 game as soon as something better came along, and 2D was largely a dirty word outside of the Game Boy for nearly 10 years. The only difference between a 360 game and a modern one is fidelity.
>>729067413Aspect ratio is an underrated aspect
>>729060440how big is her cock
>>729060380>The breakpoint between nu"retro" and modern gaming is micro-tranny-ack-shunsAre you sure you want to call it retro?
>>729061480>>729061527Which PS2 game is this?
>>729067485
>>729061697I disagree. Games today play like they could be on a PS3 just with better graphics.
>>729068424Yup nothing changed. >Demons souls but in a big map>Still GTA V>Skyrim but in space and somehow even worse>CoD4: 20And many more. The worst part is a lot of the modern versions are worse than the old ones. How can XB360 be retro when we've gone backwards from that point?
>>729060035because we're still in the 2000s era. there hasn't been a serious paradigm shift in our technology our culture since to paint those as 'the before-times'.that's why the 80s are still the most nostalgic decade even though only those aged 45+ remember them.
>>729068596>skyrim in spaceYou mean Skyrim but 15th release of super duper edittion
>>729067276Not really no. 2015-2019 had decent games come out every so often compared to 2020 onward, where outside of Japan and East Asia, everything is a remake/remaster and microtransaction ridden live-service game. Not to mention games are unoptimized as all fuck now and the hardware is expensive as shit compared to the pre-crypto prices. There are exceptions to these rules (even to the remake being necessarily bad rule), but most games that came out in the past 5 years are really really shit compared to even the bad games from 2015, which while bad at least you could laugh at how bad they were.
Retro is 2D games. Also no one had an xbox360 in 2005. Took a while for them to take off for some reason.
Your time is over, old man.
>>729070061>there hasn't been a serious paradigm shift in our technology>apart from smart phones and now AI
>>729070470smartphones and social media popped up very soon after the internet became widely accessible, so they fit into that particular paradigm shift.AI hasn't changed enough, yet. But if it does, the 30s will be the decade we finally get nostalgic for the 2000s.
>>729060963>2015-2020 was better than 2008-2015 THOUGHmost wrong opinion i've seen on /v/
