/vr/ - Retro Games

>>4620349
Naruto is gay.

>>4620349

It even has a sequel

I can't believe this in (not) retro.

>>4620407
It's criminal that we can't talk about MMZ and Advance Wars[/spoilers] on this board.

>>4620428
You have Super Famicom Wars that got recently translated to talk about, which you could probably use to talk about Advance Wars at some point in the thread if you run out of other things. Not like moderation here is consistent enough that you would be stopped.

>>4620369
>morientes
>shevshenko
truly they are already retro, old and forgotten.

>>4620349
>muh retro

>>4620349
This just really goes to show how arbritary the defenitions on retro are as far as /vr/ is concerned. Reminder that THIS pic related is considered “retro” whilst Tekken Tag 1 cannot because PS2.

>>4620627
Nobody said the board's rules aren't arbitrary. But setting the limit to a year is a lot more clearer than setting the limit to a generation, for example.

>>4620634
Why?

>>4620369
>>4620407
A rule of "older than 20 years is retro" would fix that, but i'm too smart for this place.

>>4620639
In my case, i defend this rule for two reasons:
- As videogames get released, developers learn how to get most of a platform. There is clearly a evolution within a system.
- Videogames will receive influences from everywhere. Two games released at the same year on different generation consoles are the product of a bunch of developers playing more or less the same games, receiving the same influences.

>>4620639
Because there isn't much you can argue against the fact that 1999 is one year, and 2000 is another year.
Anyway, even though there are some games for PS1 released in 2005, nobody really discusses them here, they're only posted as bait.
>>4620641
What we need is /v2k/

>Because there isn't much you can argue against the fact that 1999 is one year, and 2000 is another year.

Sorry whats the actual argument though?

>>4620351
Pretty sure he loves Sakura, bro.

>>4620641
GBA and PS2 will never be retro, kid

>>4620716
>Sakura

He fucks and cums in a far better girl. One with HUGE fucking tits.

>>4620724
Jesus christ... just end /vr/ now

I like the concept of this thread, but I'm sure it will evolve into another "6th gen is retro!" thread

>>4620641
6th gen can't be retro until Xbox emulation stops being shit. I can't let those filthy collectors have the last laugh.

>>4620802
Softmodding and a bigass hard drive are your friend.

>>4620349

>>4620802
This makes me wonder how much /vr/'s definition of retro affects collectability. If /vr/'s rules changed to include 6th gen, would that cause a bunch of lemmings to jump into collecting 6th gen?

jesus fuck, how much did the ps1 last, i know ps2 lasted until the 2013 or so.

>Relevant for the retro games market
You can't possibly be that deluded.

I think this series was actually ported from GBA to PS1 and there are other cases like this.

DC port of Gauntlet Legends. They borrowed some content from Dark Legacy, so it's a weird gap between the two games.

Dreamcast port of the best retro-style indie game

>>4620724
Somebody remade Flappy Bird for the VMU? People even write software for those? That's fucking awesome

>>4620627
Actually, Tekken Tag is retro. It was released in arcades before the cutoff.

>>4621274
Which is why I was asking. 4chan always has a surprising amount of influence.

Based on the 2002 WRC season, the season where Mitsubishi died on WRC... before reviving again in 2004 and 2005, before dying again.

>>4622475
shit forgot the pic

After some consideration, pic related is more appropriate for this thread instead of WRC Arcade IMO.

6th gen will be retro in 2021 calling it now

>>4622836
Hopefully by 2020 /v2k/ and /ec/ exist.

>>4622864
>/ec/
?

>>4622864
What's /ec/? I know /ic/ i oekaki criticism. Is /ec/ Ecchi Criticism?

>>4620407
GBA can be retro when I'm dead. I don't even hate MMZ, but either go to /v/ or go to that Megaman general on /vg/ if it's not dead.

>>4623472
It's ok anon.
There was once a time I thought the idea of considering the PS/N64 retro was absurd.

>>4623472
Why do you feel that way about it? You forgot to mention that he could also go to /m/ instead.

>>4623485
>>4623492
Weren't those two consoles almost immediately accepted on /vr/ after like a week? The only contentious one was the Dreamcast, which was technically allowed at first, then banned for a short while, then officially allowed with an unban. I still remember the wave of shitposting brought on by the DC unban. I like the DC and think it fits here considering how early it died, but I think allowing literally anything newer than 2000 would be a disaster that would sweep over the board and rot it to its core (not that this hasn't been slowly happening for years already). The moment you can talk about CoD and Halo on the board, the board is left for dead. I have been to /v/ recently and I have seen people express unironic nostalgia for Halo 1 and 2 and they would come here.
I'm not against /v2k/ since I don't have to go there, as long as it's not here.

>>4623472
>or go to that Megaman general
The last time I went there it was all gay Quickman posting..

>>4623494
No one considers the 6th generation modern anymore.
Rules are rules thought, if one autistic anon start spamming a 6th gen thread the mods will have to stick with the sperg and delete it.

>>4623494
I do agree with what you're saying, I'm just asking that anon out of curiosity since I'm interested in opinions.

>>4623485
I still don't think they really fit in. The way I see it, 5th gen is the beginning of modern game design. 6th gen is pretty much the same thing with more polygons.

>>4623529
>6th gen is pretty much the same thing with more polygons.
That's why accepting one but not the other is stupid. They are almost the same thing.

When I think about modern games I think about online games, AAA, generic fps, DLC, unfinished mess that will be "fixed" in the next patch.

The cut off should either be before the 5th gen (popularization of 3D), or after the 6th (yada yada), not in between.

>>4623542
Well, 6th gen really started the generic FPS trend, and online was one of the big things of the original Xbox. Dreamcast had online and even the Famicom in Japan had internet if you want to stretch it, but Halo was the first console game that really kicked off the popularity of online FPSs, of course before Halo, on PC there were already shit like Counter-Strike, which I think it's technically considered retro because it was released in late 99 or something, before 2000.
Also, during the days of 6th gen, on PC there was the WoW craze which also kicked off MMOs massively, mind the redundancy.
5th gen is definitely a weird middleground, a sort of missing link between retro and modern.

>>4620351
cool /vr/ discourse bro

>>4623547
But it IS gay, and so are you for liking it.

>>4623562
The games are another story.

>>4623542
>online games
>generic fps
>DLC
Sounds like Gen 6 to me. Patches that add the rest of an unfinished game and the death of middle-sized game projects are moreso 7th Gen though, I agree.

>>4620351
Fucking this

>>4623472
Well how old are you?

>Janitor deleted the post with this picture
Looks like acknowledging the existence of non-retro games is against the rules now.
Never thought the 4chan staff where the autistic anons themselves.

>>4624731
It probably was the whiney
>somehow not retro
that bothered him.

>>4624731
>where
Nice. Also, stop. Not what this thread is for, and it isn't something to discuss here anyway.

>>4624757
I don't see another meta thread, so I'll just use this one.

>>4624761
You shouldn't have meta threads or discussions on the board itself, jackwang.

>i just found out about crunchyroll last year so therefore everything is from 2017

>>4625142
Crunchyroll has a shit selection for pre-2000 anime though.

>>4620349
Just became an adult today

>>4625208
Happy birthday! Congratulations on being able to post on 4chan now, but please read the board rules first.

>>4620351
Why did you think it got so popular?

>>4625197
>>4625142
CR has a shit collection period. They only have PG13 anime. So nothing actually of value.

>>4622864
>/ec/
The what? Agree about /v2k/ though

>>4625208
The threads didn't last long here
