it just doesn't feel retro
this is me in 2016
>>730725363Because it's not you fucking retard
>>730725363lol not now boomer
>>730725412PS2 is retro 10 years later?
>>730725363Retro is not based on how old the game is, its how its designed.Retro games are pixel graphics, analogue video out, and are difficult to play. Came with nice manuals to explain stuff to you instead of it all being ingame, and you could learn the secrets in Nintendo Power or equivalent.PSX is already not a hybrid between retro and modern, PS2 is modern no matter how you slice it. Game design has also not meaningfully changed, other than enshittification, since the PS2.
>>730725363>>730726152>>730725420Unc cope.
>>730725363>240p/480i for majority of games>Doesn't feel retroNigga. It has been retro for 15 years now. It is antiquated in every way. There are no good excuses. Even ps3 and 360 is fucking retro. Movies from 2005-2008 qualify as retro too. Deal with it.
If it uses hdmi as stock, it isnt retro. Simple as.
In the 1950s, the 1940s were considered retro.
>>730725363It does to me
>>730726562Just because you were born after this console was out doesn't mean the rest of the world was. PS2 is definitely a modern console, with all the halmarks of current consoles, OS, harddrive, online play, media player. 3D games, analogue controls (controller layout same as current) Same gameplay
>>730727016Nah, the 20s were retro.
How long has the phrase "looks like a PS2 game" been used as an insult for a modern game having bad graphics?
>>730726152>Came with nice manuals to explain stuff to you instead of it all being ingame, and you could learn the secrets in Nintendo Power or equivalent.But those still apply to the ps2. I disagree, design trends have changed enough for it to be consideres retro. Or are you going to tell me that a live service game from today has the same philosophy as a ps2 game. Even with MMORPGs and online games, these are clearly not the same.
>>730732245Since the 7th generation desu
Because it's not. Retro refers to early 2D and early 3D.
