Yes, these ARE retro consoles, anon.
>>>/vr/
no, they aren't and never will be, and you will never know what retro means, because you are retarded
>>747472089The Wii is.HDMI consoles will never be retro though.
'retro' isn't just about how old something is
>>747472212>>747472217>>747472245Their design language is already retro.You cannot refute this.
>>7474720899/11 isn't retro, so why they should be
>>747472170This type of response truly is the most reductive and retarded. Who cares?
>>747472372This type of thread truly is the most reductive and retarded. Who cares?
>>747472295You don't know what "retro" means, do you?
>>747472545>imitating, reviving, or relating to the styles, fashions, or attitudes of the past.
>>747472089>>747472217>>747472212maybe the wii but i consider the ps3/xbox360 the first 'modern' consoles. xboxlive/psn was solidified, online stores started to be a thing, HD resolution, browse the internet, wifi/bluetooth connectivity, a real operating system and more. from then on, the difference between newer gens is much smaller. so no, it will never feel retro. for me retro ends with the ps2/xbox and maybe the wii
>>747472628Exactly. Now look up what "vintage" means, and maybe you'll be able to correctly categorize these consoles.
>>747472693The design language of these consoles IS retro, retard. Example: the fucking Wii uses CRT tvs as part of its system UI aesthetic.
>>747472857Now show me where the design language of PS3 and 360 is "retro", turbonigger.
>>747472217This. Niggas will seriously call "retro" consoles that had GTA 5 running lmao
>>747472089>retro
>>747472935PS3: spiderman font (which itself was a call back to art deco design sensibilities)360: "inhale" shape and color was a direct callback to 70s braun industrial design
>>747473428ok chatgpt
>>747473428By this fucking retarded logic, every single currently used computer app is "retro", because they use floppy discs as save icons, which is a callback to an obsolete tech, and therefore retro.
>>747473616Correct.>appThis you? >>747473092
>>747473681No, that is not me. Would you prefer if I said "application"? Or "program"? But it's funny that you have no more arguments to support your retarded drivel, so this is the only thing you have to resort to.
>>747472372>>747472484
and this is a retro game
>>747472089They'll never be retro just like electric guitars from the 80s onwards aren't vintage.
>>747473924This but unironically.
>>747473819Dude your argument was that floppy discs representing "save" in software must be retro too, which yeah it is. Of course it is. Anything else you want to point out to the class, Sherlock?
>>747474102*floppy disks
They are vintage not retro. learn the fucking difference>>747472089
>>747472217TRVKE, if you can easily connect the console to a modern TV it's not retro. And before anyone brings up the early 360 models, the vast majority of Xbox 360s sold had HDMI (especially now since most of those early models have probably RRODed)
>>747474205*floppy dicks
I unironically wouldn’t mind calling early 7th gen games retro, because they still feel like they were designed with 6th gen design philosophy but in HD, but late 7th gen is basically 1:1 in spirit with the stuff that gets released today.So, as whole, nope.
>>747474506*ED penises
>>747472089I haven't played the Wii, and I still want to someday. It were frozen for thousands of years I would pretty much be Cartman trying to play the new console that came out a thousand years ago.
>>747474506Now we're talkin'

>>747474747>747474747Incredible.

>>747472089Since 2013 anon.
>>747475217It's also an art term.
>>747475217/pol/ has unironically rotted your brain
>>747474747Nice get
>>747475127This doesn't reallt adress the passage of time, which is why I prefer what an anon said in a previous thread, "There's current gen, last gen, and retro." Which also seems to be stores handle it where retro is whatever is before last gen.
>>747475696The last gen of consoles isn't retro. Its the same graphics as the current gen and the tech was borderline upgraded. The issue you're not seeing is that most games after the PS3 play the same with just minor graphical upgrades.
>>747475904lrn2read>There's current gen, last gen, and retro.
>>747476048Nope. The last 3 gens are not retro.
>>747474747>747474747mootranny wanted to take this away from us
>>747476465PS3 is retro. I was 18 when I got my PS3 and it does not hold up today, the majority of games there ran at 720p sub-30fps and the design of the games is also noticeably different compared to current gen too. >>747474604 is right, much of the 6th gen design philosophy was carried over into 7th gen, it's only the late 7th gen releases that can be argued as close to current vidya standards.
>>747474747based vidyalover GET
>>747475127Why did you lump in CPS1 and PC Engine as classical? Both of those are younger and more powerful than the NES era stuff, they were concurrent with the SNES/Mega Drive.
Stale bait thread is stale.Retro means something that imitates a style from the past and not something that is just old. The PS360/Wii are not retro they are "classic" or "vintage" consoles due to being old now. The games available for them are still modern as the paradigm for what is considered a modern game hasn't changed since that generation and it extends a bit further into the PS2 generation as well. For example GTA V is a PS360 game and nobody would in their sane minds call it a "retro" game.
>>747476631Nah, PS3 games share no connection to PS2. It's two different consoles with very different vibes. PS3 games are modern enough to still be played in the same style of games coming out today. Retro for PlayStation stops at 1. PS2 mechanically is still modern.
>>747474747Those digits
>>747476805Those I found to be in a hard spot to catagorize, so I put them in classical since the line between classic and retro is very thin.
>>747476875Nah I can't agree with that, to be honest the all this disillusion over what constitutes as "retro" just feels like millennials/zoomers refusing to acknowledge that they're getting older, a long time has passed since the PS2 and PS3 era. Even the PS3 is now 20 years ago and, yes, it really shows its age when you go back to it.The timeframe between the NES and PS3 is the same as the timeframe from the PS3 to now.This idea that "uhhh, it just FEELS more modern to me!" is an unironic cope.
>>747474747>Agent 747474747 you have located your target
>>747477042>The timeframe between the NES and PS3 is the same as the timeframe from the PS3 to now.Ha ha very funny anon, but it's ac-...Fuck.
PS4 is retro now.
>>747474747You should play the Wii anon. There’s even one for 47 dollars…https://ebay.io/m/7yWQQh
>>747474747here to witness this getHonestly I miss the Wii being the current console. games might have been designed for normalfags but the motion controls were pretty intuitive, there was enough technology there for devs to do nearly everything they needed but not enough for insane graphicsfaggotry, Nintendo's online was just archaic enough that there were still big congregations of communities around every game that encouraged friendship, it was good timesshit even those aforementioned normalfag games were pretty fun
>>747477042I’m kind of halfway to it. On the other hand, you’re right on some people here refusing to accept thst they’re getting old and expecting that the world will forever revolve around their own perceptions (it isn’t retro to me, so it will never be retro, not in 200 years!).But on the other hand, it’s undeniable that gaming changes a lot slower today than it used to be, and even though it’s over 10 years since the end of 7th gen, gaming hasn’t changed that much. We play on similar controllers, similar genres are still popular, games still look somewhat same, with just more detail and resolution, and even the business side with DLC, monetization etc. is mostly the same. Hell, GTA V debuted on 7th gen and it’s still played all day on current consoles, the same thing would have been an impossibility back when 7th gen launched. Point being, I think that the threshold for considering something retro *does* move, but it’s not linear, and if a game made in 1998 was considered retro in 2007, it by no means means that we should consider games made in 2017 retro. They will be that some day, but it requires a larger shift in vidya, and who knows how long it will take.
Please open a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word retro, it doesn't mean what you think it does.
>>747472089The only true metric of whether or not a console is retro in the modern era is if vimms has a page for said console yet or nah.
>>747474747Amazing digits!Wii nowadays are really cheap and modding it is really easy. You should give it a shot, there are so many fun games on wii that will never leave the console. Wiimotes make certain games a lot more fun, like wii wports or a few rail shooters
>>747472089the wii sure
>>747475904Exactly. Last gen isn't retro. The idea is when something is older than last gen, it becomes retro. Even with PS and Xbox working like Windows now where PS5 didn't support all PS4 software or it has new bugs from not being fully compatible and PS6 will likely support less PS4 software than PS5 did, with more abandoned games just falling into incompatibility. Getting Estival Versus to just work on PS6 or 7 without community patches will be like trying to get Max Payne to just work without community patches on Windows 10.
>>747472317whos gonna tell unc?
>>747472693nta but vintage doesn't mean old it just means when it was produced. Vintage 1953 meant from 1953, just as something could be vintage 2024 which is still modern.
