>PS4 is now 13 years oldIs it considered retro yet?
>>730981542i always though retro was just anything before online integration became the default. so anything before ps3, xbox360 and wii
>>730981542No.
>>730981542>The PS4 is now the same age the PS2 was when the PS4 came out.
isn't retro about 50's-80's stuff? that said the word retro could be used about anything made in the past that also represents a different style. considering how ps4/xbox one and ps5/xbox series are basically the same thing i wouldn't call ps4 retro. . . YETxbox 360 on the other hand is retro as fuck. games made for that feel ancient, like from another reality. they're janky and run sub 30fps weird brown bloom 3rd person arcadey products with the remnants of ps2 era game design philosophy infused with retro-futuristic era of early 2000's
Retro is whatever I consider retro.So, yes.
>>730981542Games have stagnated in design since the late 90s so everything after is just the same with better graphics and general standardization like controls. Compare this to how arcade games were designed to maximize coin inserts or the shift from 2d to 3d so anything after fifth or maybe sixth gen should not be considered retro.
You can play the most popular modern games on PS4PS5 brought nothing new>Roblox>Minecraft>Fortnite>Grand Theft Auto V
>>730981621every gen 6 console had internet capability, retard
>>730984313yeah thats why it specified when it became the default, faggot. tell me you remember internet capabilities on the ps2 being more prominent than they were on the xbox 360
>>730981542when ps6 comes out, yes
>>730981542>ps4 is now at the halfway point between now and the turn of the millenniumI really am just gonna wake up one day and whoops I'm 70. Motherfucker. Cock. FUCK
>>73098222050-2000s, anything post-internet shouldn't be considered retro, it's a clear delineating factor
>>730981542The ps2 isn’t even retro yet…
>>730981542The Last Guardian machine.
the snes isn't even retro yet, i'm still young after all
>despite having backwards compatibility, the ps4 has more exclusives then the ps5>ps5: 13>ps4: 49how does this happen
>>730984313Heh, he sure shut you up.
>>730981542perfect age for sex
>>730981542Are poorfag PCs with 1060s/480/580s retro PCs now?
i bought a regular ps4 for full price just to play overwatch and then they announced all the new models like a week laterthe same thing happened to me with the steam deck they announced the oled right after i bought mine
>>730984690internet came long before 2000 and even after internet hit mainstream and even during that relativity small time frame games and gaming has changed drastically
>>730984905yeah
>>730985114yeah but not to console vidya
>>730985846the sega dreamcast from 1998 had online play
>>730981542It will be in 2030.
>>730981542no but it is a good budget option right now
I have a hard time saying so because despite its age it still feels like a viable platform, and not even in a weird cope way. Like sure, it's not gonna run shit at 4K and 120fps or whatever, but I struggle to see what's being done now that can't run decently on a PS4, what kind of games are being made that this hardware can't handle. We've reached a point where pretty much the fuck ever kind of game you want to make, a PS4 can make it happen. It's not even spectacular hardware but it is "good enough".
>>730992240>Like sure, it's not gonna run shit at 4K and 120fpsNeither will modern consoles.
>>730992240Well, it helps that it's still only last-gen, and that one of the best looking games; RDR2, ran fine on it outside st.Denis. Also the astronomically long (and increasing) dev times make it seem not as long ago, coupled with the fact that most games are multi-gen. Please remember that GTA and Skyrim both launched in the PS3/360 era, and these are the most current games in their respective series', which still have a large playerbase to this day.20 years ago today, feels entirely different than 20 years ago in 2005.
>>730984934If you're not buying on launch, your supposed to wait for the release of the model update.
>>730992423Or high end PC hardware for that matter
>>730981542It has at least 2 more years before it can be considered retro
I want to buy one of these. It plays all the games I want and doubles as a Blu ray player. PS5 is too expensive
>>730981542It's dated, definitely not retro.
>>730993841buy a ps4 pro and hack it. shit's so cash.
>>730993872It still has games released for it
>>730981542I stopped at PS2 and moved to PC.Lots of good memories, though.Had the controllers plug in my PC with an adapter untill they stopped working right. I'm a KaM person, but some games admittedly play better with controllers (e.g., Rocket League, Rock of Ages, supposedly Bastion, but didn't try).
