wii and ps3 are now officially retro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH9xBSOCClw
>>
everyone has a different definition of retro
my arbitrary line in the sand is still N64/PS1 and previous
dreamcast is in a weird limbo because fuck you
Gamecube and onward feels completely unfettered by technological limitations and archaic control schemes. N64 and PS1 and previous had to deal with it more

That's kinda my stance too. Dreamcast is exactly the line for retro.
It had a lot of arcade games, psx and n64 ports and also modern games that even used online effectively

And they're all wrong.
"Retro" means - something new made in the style of something old.

All those 2d pixel art games on steam that got released this year, those are all retro games.

anon the word retro was created in 1974
of course i wouldn't use it for something that existed 60 years prior
instead i would say vintage, which has been in use since the 15th century
but now that the word retro does exist i would say anything from the creation of the word till 20 years before the current date is retro
so anything and everything between 1974 and 2006(as of the making of this comment) is retro.

I don't really care much for debating arbitrary definitions but it's pretty crazy that PS3/360 games could be considered retro, the games released then aren't substantially different to what we see today. Feels like the term retro is losing any meaning in the gaming space. Either that or gaming has stagnated severely.
>>
>uhhhhhh I need to make the words retro and old have the exact same meaning because...

The PS1 gen was the last retro era. The PS2 was the transversal gen into the modern era. PS3 and onwards will always be modernshit. Fucking GTA5 and Skyrim which are still treated as modern games nowadays despite being 15 years old launched on the PS3 for fucks sake.

I feel this way for the 6th gen. Gamecube and PS2 games aren't that different to what's released today, it's mostly just additional polish from that point on
go back to 5th gen and the difference is obvious and immediate in visuals and controls

I've notice everyone's definition ties to there age, even in the late 90s online and BBS they seem unwilling to call anything retro that was what they had when a young adult, like the idea is it had to be of their childhood to count as retro and anything after that wasn't.

The NDS released at the same time as the PSP and only one of those is retro.

I just can't take anything after the PS2 as retro because gameplay stopped evolving. The visuals now are very different, that much is true - a PS3 game nowadays looks pretty fucking terrible, clearly something from a different era. But they play the exact fucking same. TLOU and Uncharted completely fucked shit up, Insomniac could've released their shitty Wolverine movie in 2010 and absolutely nothing would have to change except his ass hair detail.

Ps2 and newer gens will never be retro because they have modern control schemes, graphics is advanced, you have good looking cutscenes with voice acting, gameplay loop is the same as modern games, and a lot of later gen games were made with lcd in mind

You can discuss Gears of War on /vr/ because it falls into their rules. You cannot discuss the DS or PSP.

>the games released then aren't substantially different to what we see today
they are different gameplay wise: more experimental low budget stuff because games didn't cost $500mln to make like now, nowadays studios barely innovate and just rehash past successes, some genres like arcade racing games literally vanished
they are also different style-wise: dark, gritty/realistic, piss filter, masculine no-name protagonists, today you have the gay purple/pink filter and reddit millennial writing with quirk chungus annoying retards who can't shut up about their feelings
the culture surrounding gamers and gaming is also extremely distinct and different enough to define a particular period in gaming

last but not least, if "it's not different enough" is the main metric then by this logic as soon as the new thing drops (AR/VR cloud gaming) we should count the ps3-ps5 as a single thing when it comes to defining eras of gaming which is obviously dumb
so the ps3 for all intents and purposes is retro, the games show their age and the distinct environemnt in which they were made, a reflection of the past

Gaming overall is way different now compared to the ps2-ps3 eras. You have genres like: extraction shooter, survival crafting, hero shooter, gachas, mobas, friendslop and others that either didn't exist, weren't as common, weren't as popular, or were way different. What once were mainstream household franchises are now dormant, dead or niche. Where before you'd expect the most popular kids franchises to be mascot platformers like Mario, as this is the era of the Wii after all, now kids are all about Minecraft and Fortnite which didn't even exist in the ps3 era.

The problem is, again, using the word retro. When I browse Steam and see an indie game with a retro tag, I expect a 2D platformer, or a 2D JRPG, or a beat 'em up, or a low poly 3D game. If I see a Call of Duty Modern Warfare clone I'd think they used the wrong tag, even though CoD:MW is indeed retro. There must be a different word for the former kind of game, based on that specific era.

Online on PS2 was free, outside of the two games that required a separate subscription fee to access, aka the MMOs, FFXI & EQOA.

>digital purchase
PS2 had no online store. Only exception is FFXI's mini-addons which you had to buy via Square-Enix's own website (which required a PC)
>DLC
Read the above.
>Matchmaking
Games just threw you into the deep wild without any ranking systems, and most just had a lobby list you picked a match from instead.
>paid networking
You had to buy the adapter if your PS2 didn't come with one, that was it.

Also forgot to mention in the last post that PS3/360 brought about patching console games, which was 'fine' until PS4/Xbone took it to the extreme of releasing games broken with the expectation you're downloading the day1-update.

i never got used to that mandatory requirement to turn the ps3 on one to two full hours before i felt like playing a game because every time i did the fucker wanted to force a system update before it could launch anything, and typically the game itself wanted an update too

>>746046904
Not being able to background download system and game updates was the worst fucking thing about the PS3.

>paid networking
>subscriptions
Dreamcast and if we want to be anal then SNES, Mega Drive and Saturn had their own subscription based networked games on those consoles and services
>installs/mandatory installs
Not on 360 and most early PS3 didn't require it. If we want to be anal then FFXI on PS2 had this and all og Xbox games used internal HDD cache to install part of the game at runtime
>OS-level accounts for networking/saves
Saves were OS level and locked with encryption since Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1 and PS2. OG Xbox had OS level online account.
Ackshually even as far back as PC Engine had built-in save manager if you had the ten no koe 2 memory pack.
>OS-level resolution/widescreen
PS2 and og xbox had it. I'm guessing you're trying to make it sound like this affects rendering res? That didn't really happen until PS4 pro for cherry picked games having their own (not os level) "performance/quality" modes.
For example even if you select 1080p mode on PS3, it will still force 720p (or lower) for actual game rendering resolution.
>Standarized voice chat

>Also forgot to mention in the last post that PS3/360 brought about patching console games
Dreamcast already had online game patches.
And I mean "online", because you forgot to mention that, otherwise console games were patched since forever, you know, when you download a rom it has this weird "rev" thing? It's called revision! Like the dev patched the game and they reprinted it with bug fixes and/or more content?

So no one should have ever made subs for an episode because of one autist? I watched it, and it was a solid episode that had merit beyond the fahny screencap.
Sonic 2 was an episode that I was actually pulling for to be subbed, then I watched it and it turned out to be a pretty bland one overall outside of a few neat bits.
Maybe the Marchanposter knew better than us all along.
>>
>>746049826
>Not on 360
Later in the gen they allowed it. You can't play GTA5 fully off of the disc. Prior to that you had games like Dragon's Dogma or Battlefield which had optional installs to make the game look less like ass.

>PS2 and og xbox had it. I'm guessing you're trying to make it sound like this affects rendering res?
I'm talking shit like how for PS2 games, you had to hold Square on game boot-up to engage Progressive scan if the game supports it. PS3/360 you just set your list of resolutions that your display supports, and then the game picks from there.

i think anything before the obama era can be considered retro. obama was when all the games started to turn to shit, so.

We used to get drastically more powerful hardware every 4-5 years as well. Nowadays I look at a high-end PS4 game and it visually looks the fucking same as a PS5 game, other than one is locked at 1080p/30.

Yeah, and the other is 480p upscaled to 4K/30.

its because the switch 2 launch was a nothing burger so it feels like we are still in the switch 1 generation
like yeah it sold a lot but it didnt have any cultural impact at all
it feels closer to a switch 1 pro or something.

That's just a problem of some popular games never leaving modern consciousness, like how Skyrim is till relevant since it's been ported and Remastered to more modern consoles multiple times.
>>
>>746007921
I don't consider new games as equals to the older generations. Therefor the ps3 and wii will never be retro since time basically stopped for gaming.
>>
>>746039164
We need to do away with semantic minefield words like retro and just use objective tags: 1990s, 1980s, 2010s, etc.

Most Japanese studios went to shit during the PS360 era precisely because games got too expensive.

This entire dumbfuck problem exists because of stupid kids online (yes, even 30 year old children) want to look cool and gaming spent nearly 15 years is effective stagnation, and people in denial about the state of the industry want to live in abject denial that the paradigm finally changed and the design of gen 6 to early gen 8 games has finally become anachronistic.
Not because of a meaningless and arbitrary technical hurdle which has nothing to do with design tendencies, but because the industry has shifted into an Ouroboros of marketing cancer where the typical thing for games is being made for shitty ads disguised as game streams/user videos rather than even being designed to be remotely enjoyable as games (being shit even being a "positive" design choice for marketing because stupid people that don't like games will be more incentivized to be associated with the "prestige" of being able to guzzle down the gaming equivalent of raw sewage)
>>
>>746049826
Some PS3 games used the console resolution internally, like Lair and the Motorstorm sequels
>>
>>746055992
Roblox and TF2 are technically retro games by this board's rules but people dont make threads for them for very obvious reasons, what they are today has just changed so much that theyre unrecognizable from the original release and theyve stayed relevant due to constant updates.
>>
>>746057273
Well nobody bothers "talking" about Team Fortress 2 because nobody wants to deal with some faggot niggers autistic discord group crying about people still liking the game for the 200th time.
They just actually go play the game.
