Sorry if this is a stupid question, but since the PS4 is officially out now, is the PS2 considered retro?

>> No.1199750

no

>> No.1199751

buzz off, lowest common denominator of the 6th generation.

>> No.1199760

This does raise an interesting question...how do we define what is retro moving forward? Clearly the Dreamcast will be considered retro by this board at some point.

>> No.1199762

For people in this thread, No. Most people grew up with earlier generation. Maybe in about a few more years then maybe because the kids that grew up with the 6th generation are starting to grow older. But as of now, not yet.

>> No.1199768

>>1199762
I'm in my late 20s and feel nostalgia towards NES/SNES stuff that I played when I was a kid, and quite a bit for the PS2 stuff I played as a teenager. But I agree that it doesn't really belong here. PS2 was the beginning of really modern gaming.

>> No.1199774

>>1199762
So you have to be a child when a system comes out for it to be retro?

Either way, PS2 released in 2000, if we assume babby's first console is bought at age 5 (which is younger than what a lot of people experience) PS2 kids are all pretty much 18 and older, and are now moving on to their 3rd gen. So saying that that PS2 isn't retro is like saying PS1 & N64 weren't retro a year ago during the reign of the PS3.

>> No.1199778

>>1199760
Technology.
All sixth generation consoles (except Dreamcast, which should actually be retro) used DVDs and had network adapters, which is something that I won't recognize as being retro in a very long time.
Generations after that are even worse since they have became full time wannabe-computers with their online services and facebook apps and shit.

honestly anything older than last-gen should be fair game, especially considering how long the last gen went for.

Just give it time and then it will be considered retro to the most of us (kids born around middle and late 90's) but I feel that PS2 isn't retro to me personally because of how recent it ended. N64 and Below are what I consider retro because they now hold nostalgic value as opposed to the PS2 which just ended about a few months ago. my first vidya was pokemon blue in 98 and then Mario Kart 64. I don't about you guys but the PS2 still seems recent to me. Even Dreamcast seems new to me in a way. about a decade ago i played Sonic 1 on a Genesis and thought it was the coolest shit ever.

what about GBA wouldn't that be considered Retro ish soon because it was the last point that a system used cartridges. It was made in 2001 and there have been 2 generations of handheld already?

PS2 won't be retro because games are technically still being released for it. And by that I mean by official licensed companies, not some random dev producing homerbrew and burning it onto DVD-R's.

Also, if you're going by age, the year official support of the console was dropped is as big a consideration as the year the console was released.
however, the technology of the console is far more important than the age. If a new system was released that used the same hardware as say, a sega genesis, then its very likely that discussion of the system and its games would be allowed on /vr/, despite not being retro in that aspect.

The only thing that defines retro on this board are the rules which assign an arbitrary date of 1999. Moot doesn't like the fact that he split up /v/ into so many boards, so likely he will kill this board at some point in the future instead of revising the rules to include dreamcast and ps2.

First I loathe the word "retro". I just hate it.

Just have /v/ as General gaems, mostly focusing on this and the last gen, with /vr/ as everything before that. So Dreamcast, gamecube, PS2, Xbox.

Also /vr/ should get 5-10 more pages. In fact all the boards should.

no, its because trying to remember the exact date games were released on is too much a pain in the ass. No point in allowing GBC, but only some of the library.
A great example of this is AoE2, technically its outside the rules, but most people don't realize it since no one memorizes release dates on games.

The PS2 has had releases this year though. I know that the hardware is old but when it's still on the market I don't foresee it being grouped with other retro consoles.
Besides, we're in the very beginning of the 8th gen. If we're going to change the rules as to what is considered retro at least partially based on something being x generations old I think we should still wait a few years.

I know that, but I wasn't referring to the rules, I was referring to the general opinions of the people who use this board. I was explaining why the rules won't be changed, and not why the ps2 won't be allowed.

the 1999 date is strict, it's supposed to be strict for PC's, thats why the date is there. However for consoles, it goes by hardware generation instead. If /vr/ was only PC, then the 6th gen rule wouldn't be in the sticky, if it was only consoles, then the 1999 date wouldn't be there.

PS2 will never be considered retro, it was the start of the current trend of games. The Xbox was the true consolized PC, but at least it was a very creative console with a unique mindset; unfortunately all modern consoles are based on the Xbox.

The PS2 started the trend of movie games. A lot of action oriented games had unskippable cutscenes, many of which were cringe worthy.

The PS2 attracted the casual masses with "such mature and cool" games like GTA or MGS, which was shared with the Xbox but not the GameCube or Dreamcast.

The PS2 killed the notion of exclusives, as no console besides the PS2 should even dare consider having an exclusive. The allmighty stockholders will sink your company to the ground if you dare think about making a game for a console that isn't the PS2.

Adding from the above, the PS2 started the trend of half-assed ports which focused more on getting the game to exist than making it work right.

The PS2 had absolutely no form of quality control, hence why everyone made games for it.

It was sold as a media device first (DVD player), game console second.

It was never marketed on it's own merits, it was all due to overblown marketing budgets that focused on everything other than the game in question.

Game journalism (AT LEAST Game Informer) always favored the PS2 over other consoles. They even favored the PS2 versions of games more than the others.

Many of the PS2's best selling games are rehashes, I fucking DARE you to tell me that 5 different versions of GTA on the same damn console isn't rehashing.

The PS2 is when video games died.

Depends on your definition of retro. The dictionary definition is a modern production that imitates an older style. Many people use retro to describe something between contemporary and vintage. An in between word is necessary with something as fast changing as technology. This board has it's own definition which only a few people in the world agree with.

I have a different definition of "retro" than the mods. The PS2 is 13 years old. The PS2 is also in this awkward position where it's officially dead and buried but yet it's still too new to be considered "retro" here despite the age. I'd say being there for 15 is good enough and just call it a day.

>> No.1200068

some of you should try understanding that your frame of reference isn't the only one that matters.

put simply, i think /vr/ should be for any console that would get buried if you tried to post a thread about it or its games in /v/ because they're all 12. that would include the ps2, imo.

no one who plays more than one game a year gives a shit about EA shoving a roster update out the door for a now-two-generation-old console. it's a silly fucking argument. How long do you think a console should go without getting games before it becomes retro? it's a really relevant question in /vr/, a board that goes by the release date of the console, not the console's games.

They're clearly allowed. The topic at hand is whether it is soon enough to allow the PS2, GCN, Xbox etc.. I'm arguing for the status quo and you're saying we should go backwards implying that's what I said. I never said consoles would be determined by the last game, I'm only saying it's too early for the PS2 considering its games are still coming out.

Who made the sticky for what can and cannot be posted anyway? Was it just moot?

Using that word doesn't make you any older junior. n64 was the start of the 3d era and 3d is not retro. Using sprites and scaling to simulate 3d is retro as shit.

We need another /vidya/ board for that middle generation of gaming. Starting with DreamCast, ending when the original Xbox Live was shut down.

It was a big chunk of vidya, it's getting slightly too old for /v/ but it's too new for /vr/. It's a big enough slice of vidya to be recognizably a thing now though.
