/vr/ is gonna have another melty soon.
>no games
>>750993963i don't get it
>>750994707ps3 is a vintage console next year
>>750994707The PS3 era still feels like new, soulless crap but is 20 years old.
>>750994707PS3 will be 20 years old on wednesday.
>>750994942aw what the fuck
>>750994820>>750994942damn...
I remember the ps3.
>>750994707/vr/ has the worst gatekeeping, the jannies are fat and happy because god forbid you mention a game that's not considered retro by their anal pedantic counting
>>750993963/vr/ is a weird ass fucking boardI honestly don't even know what to think of that board.
>>750995484Why did you use AI to make her look younger?
>>750995538intersection of literally the oldest millenials, xers and actual boomers with high autism/nostalgia
>>750993963There isn't anything worth getting upset over this time, they already opened the flood gates years ago. When they do it, I'll just make fun of them by posting GTAV threads.
>>750995679>flood /vr/ with GTA Vimagine the seething haha
What games are they gonna play?
>>750994707"retro" has always been split between people that consider it purely with time passed vs people that believe it's more about "feel".Gen 7 still "feels" relatively modern compared to gen 6 and 2D stuff. So many people believe it's not retro yet.
>>750993963It's their fault for allowing 3D games in the first place
>>750993963KEKIt's really funny how those fags get mad at the passage of time more than anyone else. They want to pretend we're forever in 2010.
>>750993963Time to create retro-/vr/
The 20 year cutout needs to be increased. Games take too long to make. By the time game 3 comes out, game 1 is retro. Hell, GTA V will be retro a few days before GTA VI is out.
Defining retro games by their age is retarded.Imagine that in 10 years from now genshin impact gets called a retro gameGame design philosophy is what should determine retro from not retro as time moves
>>750994707Retro doesn't mean "obsoleted technology" it means MY CHILDHOOD AND ONLY MY CHILDHOOD
>>750993963/vr/ is in perpetual melty and "whose fault was it that sega failed?" modethose wankers can't even handle a new opinion about an old game, they'll just call it "contrarian" and "zoomer" somehow
>>750993963Is the PS3 is "retro" what makes it "retro" compared to the PS5?>it old"Retro" doesn't mean "old". People called SNES games retro as soon as the N64 came out.
>>750996153Time passed makes no sense though. The Beatles won't become Baroque music once a certain time has passed.
>>750996584What does retro mean?
>>750996246We are though. Name one thing that we have or has happened in 2026 that couldn't have happened in 2010.
>>750993963damn
>>750996631shmups
>>750996627No, but people in 2400 will almost certainly treat it with the same antiquity we treat classical music now
>>750996246>board is created to discuss games of a specific era>board is forced to change later on because time passedWhy wouldn't they be upset?
>>750993963PS3 doesn't have much exclusive stuff worth discussing, at least when compared to PS2 and even to PS1.That's a nothingburger.
>>750996631The style of games that were considered the standard before what we now consider modern. The ps1 and ps2 generations were largely a transitional phase.Think about it this way. Could a late game in a era be done in an earlier time with less precision? Chrino Trigger could be a NES game, GTA5 could be a PS3 game.
>>750996734Retro didn't mean classical. People called SNES games retro as soon as the PS2 came out. Chrono Trigger was released in 1995 but was already "old" by 2000. By this metric 5 years old or more is retro.
>>750996805>GTA5 could be a PS3 game.Anon...
>>750996879>. People called SNES games retro as soon as the PS2 came out. Chrono Trigger was released in 1995 but was already "old" by 2000.Hence the other side of the argument where retro is "feel"-based
>>750994707Modern era games feel identical to the PS3 era. Not to mention that there are plenty of PS3 era games that are still very popular today, like L4D2.
>>750996901What in GTA couldn't be done in the PS3 but with worse graphics and a smaller world?The gameplay would be exactly the same, the missions would be the same, the story would be the same.
>>750996253/vr/ = 4th gen and earlier, and DOS/osv/ (old school vidya) = 5th - 7th gen
>>750996973GTA V was released in 2012, boy.
>>750996973his point was GTA5 literally released on PS3 lol
>>750996942L4D2 wasn't on PS3 thoughI also did have breakfast this morning
>>750996901
>>750996253>>750996992this needs to happen, current /vr/ is just /v/:2 because of gen6 fags
>>750993963So literally just Demon's Souls? There isn't much else to discuss.
>>750997070The issue isnt just that but it's forcing together two very different environments. It would be like if there was a board for both visual novels and boomer shooters.
>>750997070>current /vr/ is just /v/:2Is it?It's way too slow to be anything like /v/.
>>750996997>>750997005Well I feel stupid now
Everyone knows what retro means when you call it boomer. Is Crysis a boomer shooter? No.Therefore there should be /bv/ - Boomer Vidya.
Zoomers can't imagine that entire styles of a creative form can come and go because we've been stuck in the year 2010 for their entire conscious lives.
>Blood Omen isn't retroLMAO
>>750997083Demon's Souls isn't even the best Souls game on that console
>>750993963I think /vr/ should be renamed or at least clarified to the effect of "Pre-HD Gaming" and leave that as the firm cutoff. It's a very clear and objective delineation that doesn't offer wiggle room for classification expansion over time... at least on the console/PC side. Handhelds are where it gets tricky again though. Like, would 3DS and Vita ever eventually qualify? You'd have to invite philosophy into the discussion again.On that note, I'd personally say the 3DS and Vita would be a hard "no" for qualifying since their system infrastructure and design pipelines have much more in common with their HD era-onwards companions despite their processing/graphical power.
>>750993963>Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".idk the sticky makes it pretty clear what's considered retro
>>750998061That changed at least twice in vr history.
>>750997820I don't think renaming the board is the way to go, but I agree that this is a good line in the sand. And I think you're on the right track about the 3DS/Vita since they were designed alongside HD systems and for that matter the Wii would also be rejected since it was also designed alongside the 360/PS3.
>>750997378>imagine living your whole life with Fortnite/Minecraft/RobloxA big part of classic video games was watching them get so much better every six years or so.Games don't change anymore. You have to keep buying new hardware to play them, but they don't look any better than they did in 2015.
>>750995538I posted on /vr/ once and some anon started sperging out I was emulating a game with an increased internal resolution
>>750998127It's not just games. Turn on the radio and it's full of songs that came out either 1 or 5 or 10 or 20 years ago that could have come out at any of those times.
>>750996153The feel you refer to is specifically the jump to 3d3d games in 5th gen were all experimental, and were only consolidated in 6th gen. 7th gens and onwards have simply iterated on this established path which is why a PS3 game feels like a PS5 game
>>750998365I keep saying it, but there's really three main stages.1. Retro2. Pre modern3. Modern
>dude games havent changed in 20 years!!!is this how uncs cope?
>>750998127>>750998290At some point mainstream culture died and became a walking corpse.There's still new things being made for the masses, but they're just like the old things, but worse.Don't get me wrong, there's new things being made still, but they're not mainstream.
The problem is that you conflate retro with age. But they're not the same thing.>>750995796Like a good 90% of the games on the PS360 have already been ported to PC (or had before versions) or later consoles, these consoles are completely useless now.This is what makes them modern and not retro.
>>750998472>copeWhat are they coping with?
>>750996942This.I think the way "retro" should be classified is more about how the games are constructed.In old PCs and consoles people had to use shit like assembly and BASIC, nowadays most games are written with a shitton of automated tools, mocap and a lot of other shit, it's a completely different process.
>>750994707>zoomer education
>>750993963I draw the hard line on anything published after 2000, even if the janniggers don't. Simply refusing to engage is enough.
>>750993963>MGSV is now a retro gameWaow. Fellas, we've come so far from these outdated primitive graphics.
