I feel like nowadays a lot of posters here should be posting on /vr/ instead.
Nah I like to mock alpha zoomers, they are hilariously retarded
>>738992226Dreamcast is the newest retro console, and Haruhi is fresh enough to still be considered a current anime.
>>738992338>Haruhi is fresh enough to still be considered a current anime.lol
>>738992338>old forgotten garbage>current animeNigga what
/vr/ became worse than /v/ after the hack, nobody should be posting there.
>>738992226I know someone who refuses to play any game that’s more than a few years old. He’s only on board for “current thing”, like he’s never played GTA or RDR before and is like “I’m gonna give GTA6 a try”.
>>738992226Books from the 20th century are recent.
>>738992226Why? Too much video game discussion for you?
>>738992226what about mangas from the 80s?
>>738992621Depends on when they came out in the 20th century. Anything prior to 1926 is a century old now.
>>738992467NTA but Steins Gate is also ancient anime.
>>738992226>Playstation 2 is now 26 years oldMan, time really does fly....
>>738992467>reddit;gateKill yourself.
Don't care they're more fun
>>7389922266th gen and down is the only thing that makes sense because every generation we've had since the seventh gen has just been a gay rerun of the 7th gen. AAA industry needs to run its course before we are in a new era. You could make a special exception for the DS, PSP, and Wii as they are standard def, perhaps. But the Xbox 360 and PS3 can't be retro when the new Xbox and PS are just mark 3s of the 360 and nogaems3
>>738992226So you want /v/ to die. Because there's literally nothing to talk about with modern games.
>>738992226anything from the current century can never be retro from a current time perspecive
I feel even older knowing how many people posting here are likely 13-18 (and some younger). A good portion of 4chan has always been underage, even moot was only 15 when he started the site.
>>738992226minecraft and fortnite are retro game you go /vt/
>>738992226Ps2 is really retro?? Kinda nice if real
>>738992226I got this realization when I found out how old Kill la Kill was.
>>738992226Unironically this.Any time gacha is brought up you'll have dozens of uncs crawling out of the woodworks to seethe over it. Heck they seethe not just over gacha but just about any new game coming out.They would be happier and content if they went to /vr/.
>>738992338I remember when endless 8 came out and then the movie. I actually thought we'd be getting more Haruhi somewhat regularly after that. I also thought the author would finish the books. That was 16 years ago I just looked it up.
>>738992467Steins gate is old too anon. and Haruhi is far better too.
>>738992226I am not prepared to call my games retro.
I'm not huge into anime but Attack on Titan is probably the biggest thing I can think of that's recent and it's a decade old.
>>738992226PS2 isn't retro.
>>738992226I still play modern games I just refuse to accept that they are even remotely close to being as good as even a single year in the early 2000s.No intelligent person thinks newer games are better than when they were made with the sole intent of being good.
Will people get nostalgic over stuff from the 2010s and 2020s? Obviously alphies and zoomers will feel nostalgic for their childhoods, but like will any of the actual stuff from those eras be remembered fondly? Will people say "I want to go back!" the way they do about early 2000s and 90s/80s, etc?
DS is retro btw, despite what /vr/ fägs want to believe
>>738998465Not retro.
>>738998725Its been 20 years anon...That's about the age the SNES had when the PS4 was released.
>>73899846504-05 DS era is retroDSi era certainly isn't
>>738992467>bro's posting old forgotten garbage as wellTouchè
yeah, every thread should either be AAA or gachashit
code geass came out 23 years ago
>>738999530Suuuuuuure, it's just been what, 18 years? Not like half of the anons here were babies back then or anything right?
>>738992226Unfortunately, /vr/ was made to appease a group that genuinely believes culture froze sometime around 2007-2010. They don't think we've been living in slow and repetitive times, they think time basically stopped when they first realized things weren't always like they are now.
>>738999731>phd student>talking to undergrads about anime>"oh yeah my favorite anime is code geass">"dang anon I didn't know you liked retro anime"
>>738998179Cope and seethe
>>738999530Wii-mini have that retro feel
>>738999880>(...) my favorite anime is code geass (...)based
>>738992226Games on PS2 don't play any different from games on PS3 or onwards.
I'm not trying to be rude but what's the point of /vrpg/ if most games on /v/ are mostly rpgs
>>738992467>trans;gate
>>739000051You think this because you have been immersed in contemporary gaming continuously since about the PS3. You're a boiling frog.You can easily detect the age of a game from 2005 and distinguish it against a game from 2010.
anime from ten years ago are still pretty recent, though?
>>739000318First of all, in what universe are most /v/ threads about RPGs?Secondly, all the /v/alkanized boards are pointless bullshit some mod or another made to try and contain a specific game they didn't like, they were never intended as a containment board for a whole genre.
>>738992226I still think that penguindrum is modern anime when is fucking 15 years old.
>>739000318The /v/ split boards are where you go to discuss vidya and not get hounded by bots, schizos, and coomers (as much).
I've no idea how /vr/ is so insufferable.
>>738992226"I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out with me and smoke weed and fill our bellies with diet soda and play burnout revenge for the PS2.">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrkf2gs3_lQ
>>739000978Because the rules look like they back up the obnoxious faggot "retro is permanently whatever year I was told it is when I first learned about the concept" mindset. It was briefly less obnoxious when the rules had recently changed to allow marginally newer games and all these people were reminded that time is still passing.
>>738992226/vr/ never recommends me good cunny games

It would genuinely be interesting to see a reverse retro gaming board. Like a "Games from this year only" discussion board
Anime made after 2010 = RecentGame made after 2005 = RecentMovie made after 1980 = RecentMusic made after 1980 = RecentBook made after 1900 = Recent
>>738992226The time that hast passed between the PS5 release and now is bigger than the time span between the PS1 and PS2 release.
>>738992281why shitilennials are so obsessed with zoomers
No one gives a shit about "retro" people just mean certain eras.If you want to be an autist about it just rename the board 2004 and earlier or some shit.
>>739003069Yeah, this. If retro isn't allowed to change ever, then it should refer exclusively to 50s style diners. Stop trying to turn retro into another "era", those are something we can actually make at will, you don't need to make one "super era" that contains all the shit you like.
>>738992532/v/ is still worse just by the simple fact that it allows faggy twitter threads and /pol/slop daily.
>>739002303it's less about pixel art and more about how 3D is done. it hasn't changed since the ps2 era so it makes no sense to call it retro. would you call HD videos retro because it's not explicitly modern 4k content? it's stupid.
PS3 is retro too.
>>738992226and yet anime from 10 years ago and the ps2 are still miles better than what came after.>>738992956please god yes. I want all you twitter posting niggers and culture warrior faggots to fuck off back to whatever social media shithole you came from. I WANT 4chan to be slow.
>>739002580truth nvke
>>739003778lol, so now it's about how 3D is done>it hasn't changed since the ps2 erakek, the lengths trannies will go to defend their delusions
>>739002743because they're not #legendary like us
>>739003778It has changed quite a bit since the PS2 era. If you can't identify a game as looking like it came from 2008 vs 2012 vs 2016, visually alone, then you are mentally deficient.
>>739004112>and yet anime from 10 years ago and the ps2 are still miles better than what came afterPure delusion. Nostalgia blinds you.
>>739004392>>739004392it's true. shooters operate under the same principles. same with RPGs, and third person adventure games. action movies were formed during that time. racers, fighting games like tekken, hell the control scheme for all of them hasn't changed. any distinction is superficial at best. the core ideas on how most genres operate were all present. feel free to try and prove me wrong. you can't point to anything that's a paradigm shift in how games are experienced.
>>739004542fueled by monster*
>>738992226Too many Ocarina of Time shitposts designed to make everyone argue. No wait. That's here too.
>>739004632moviegames*
Imagine being this butthurt by people not wanting to talk about the latest slop
>>739002743Because they're fucking retarded. And it's not just because they're young. It's actually different. They are a next level of retarded and groomed cattle and it's not a good thing.
I think the argument is, I don't care who was before or after Trump. I call it all modern age if it's post-Victorian. It doesn't have to make sense, the presidents are very different, but that's not the Victorian age up to Mesopotamia. It's past that. A line has to be drawn if I want to talk about the Victorians or mongols and not...the presidents. NES/Atari is so far behind it's basically Mesopotamia.
>>739004632>actually now it's about how the basic gameplay ideas of most genres were more or less hammered out by then>there has to be a "paradigm shift" for something new to become retro, change doesn't accrue over time it only happens in big chunks
>>738992226cool another demoralization threadnot fighting/dying to your shit countryi will not work to up the boomers lines in this shit economynice try
>>739004789Lot of modern shit genuinely does suck, not all but lot of it so obviously talking about things from 10+ years ago comes up more since it was more enjoyable.
>>739004939why are you just making shit up, i was saying that to begin with and yes, you literally cannot call shit retro without taking into account how it's experienced. >change doesn't accrue over time it only happens in big chunksnot all changes are equal. if you wanna bring up the notion of recent time and retroism, then yeah you're gonna have to set the benchmark to how it's experienced, not just how it's different.
>>739004632Anon, you can make modern games with the same principles and they will not be "retro".Retro games are old games that evoke nostalgia of a bygone era including the DS, Wii, PS2 and so on. End of story.
>>738992226>retro>/rĕt′rō/>adjective>Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of an earlier time; retrospective.Pray tell how is it "reminiscent of an earlier time"? It is capable of rendering graphics capable of conveying those same emotions rigged onto models today. And although processing power has gotten stronger, games baked on shadowing still look just as ugly or even better than what the lazy jeets accomplish with stronger engines. retro?
>It would genuinely be interesting to see a reverse retro gaming board. Like a "Games from this year only" discussion boardThat's regular /v/ whenever >>738992226 OP spergs out that a game isn't fomo
>>738992226thanks boomers i bet it was well worth it to waste our time
>>739005171>not all changes are equal.Correct. But all changes are changes. Many small changes over the years have added up to games being identifiable by their age anyway even if there isn't a huge graphical gulf between them like there used to be. If you're going to tell me that you can't tell Fallout 3 apart from Fallout 4 because they're both creation engine games from after the the 6th gen, I'm going to tell you you're retarded.
>>739005257not mutually exclusive. in fact i'm willing to contend they're codependent. you aren't evoking nostalgia for things that are comparable to the present day. besides if we're gonna be pedantic it's recent past at best, not some bygone era. that implies something along the lines of analog vs. digital shift.
>>739005584your problem is that you think that being able to tell a difference means it's retro. that's just simply not the case.
>>739005745No, I don't. I think that being able to tell a difference means that things haven't completely frozen in place. Retro is moving slower now than it was 30 years ago, but that doesn't mean it's stopped, retro completely stopping would require contemporary to also completely stop.
>>738992226Guys, I think i did a little goof. A small mistake.In one of these threads I saw some CRT monitor that looked cool and just by coincidence I saw an used one. I was able to get a discount and it arrive today and let me tell you this thing is a fucking monster. It is huge as fuck. it took me and the delivery guy to bring this thing back to my apartment and it cant fit into my room or closet. Guess Ill have to move out to test it out because there is no way I can set it up currently. I thought it would be somewhat big but I didn't think it would be THIS fucking big.I just wanted to play my PS2 and gamecube the best way I could but i guess I went a little overboard.
>>739005904pic related is the projector.
>>738992226Not recent, but definitely modern
>>739005961You shouldn't have bought rear projection. Mediocre picture quality, about all they were good for was light gun titles.
>this threadDo I share this board with elves or something?
>>739006062i don't regret the purchase but it will take a few months before I can set it up properly. picture looks alright to me but I am no expert.
>>738999631Steins;Gate fags have no self awareness.
>>739006159surely people cant be that dismissive right?
>>738998339Yes, take me back to lockdown
>>739005859true, i agree with you here. i guess i'm just hung up on conflating retro with only time and not significant change, simply because it seems like, relative to the present state of affairs with the game industry, there's enough stagnation in games as a whole to question the notion. sure there is innovation, but it's not prevalent enough to eclipse the underlying experience since that generation imo.
>>738992226I'd be happy with just getting rid of all the shitpoasters and bots desu
>>739005685>recent past>20 years ago>not bygone era when actually it was before smartphones became a thingOK anon, we get it. You were born in the 2000s.
>>739006389I would never claim retro is JUST about time, god. I only think the notion that things have outright stopped changing enough that retro will never move again is kinda shortsighted. It'll be like 30 more years before Skyrim is retro, but to me it's inevitable nonetheless, because Skyrim didn't become the end all be all of how its entire genre is designed, it only managed to inspire a lot of imitation. Eventually, the Overton window of contemporary game design will have shifted enough to make it identifiably different.
>>739006669the fact you want to use phones as a metric and completely deviate from games shows already you can't hold the point within the same scope
>>739006823>it only managed to inspire a lot of imitationthat's the key point though. it feels like the majority of games fall under imitations or throwbacks to where you think it's nostalgia, but it's done so often that you lose a sense of relative change for it to be in the past. all the same aspects are just being echoed so often that the sense of retro doesn't come out.
>>739006898>zoomer born in 2000s doesn't know how good we had it>doesn't know how gaming was before phones, mandatory online, DLC, ads and gacha became normalizedI'm so sorry anon...
>>739007015I disagree. You can echo an aspect all you like, the culture and how people feel about it will never be the same twice. A 2010 throwback to 1990 and a 2020 throwback to 1990 feel different.
Most should be posting on a gay/tranny /v/. A new board should be made for all the deviant sex types.
>>739007187true, i can't argue against that. maybe i just don't put much weight behind the cultural relativism compared to the intrinsic difference. i just don't like thinking about how culture/value shifts occur and deliberately kept myself blind to it. dunno why though.
>some faggot on /v/ telling you go to /vr/ when you want to talk about video games instead of how some dipshit streamer got "cortisolmaxxed by a foid" told entirely through twitter screenshots
>>738992532>2009guren was out by that point you noob
>>738992226I don't see the point of /vr/
>>738992226more like they should be posting on /b/way too many shitty OPs that just want to post porn
>>738992226To go to /vr/ is to admit that the games you play are retro. Most people here are not ready for that.

>>739010572>raped so hard by ME3's ending that decades later he's still reminded of it every time he sees the colors red, green and blue togetherMy condolences.
>>738992226My actual interests align more with /vr/ on paper, but the problem with /vr/ is that it's the same type of insufferable shitposting as /v/ but applied to things I actually want to talk about. I have no issue ignoring the 5,000th mixtape or marathon thread of the day, but when I go to /vr/, it's the same dogshit N64 vs saturn thread from a week ago crawling along because it's also nowhere near as active as /v/
>>738992338the playstation 3 is the newest retro console
