/vr/ - Retro Games

The Black Omen is a tower.

Not only is PS2 retro, by next year PS3 will be, too.

Emulation offers a better experience than original hardware in most cases.

>>4811253
Retro doesn't mean "anything older than the current console generation", /v/.

why am I seeing the same threads again? the goldeneye and the mickey mania were posted again with the same pic and text

>>4811302
Seems some shitposter has found a new form of trolling - sameposting.

>>4811302
The OP of those threads probably got delete-every-post-by-IP'd by the mods.

>>4811224
You can if you believe in yourself

I play games better on a keyboard than an actual controller.

>>4811350
I believe that. There should be less input lag with a good keyboard. I often prefer springs over that mushy rubber stuff in gamepads.

>>4811224
I play retro games on an emulator at 16:9 aspect ratio with filters on an LCD monitor with the d-pad mapped to an analog stick, with the game's music muted while listening to synthwave music on youtube

In the last thread, /vr/ didn't get triggered.
Good luck this round 2, /v/ and /vg/!

>>4811407
That's no true. I got kinda salty over the guy who said Donkey Kong Country 3 was the best of the trilogy,

>>4811427
>getting triggered over simple opinions.

>>4811438
Simple, objectively wrong opinions,

>>4811427
>>4811445
lemme guess, dkc2 is the greatest game ever made

>>4811486
No, but it is unquestionably the best of that trilogy.

I enjoy playing Brutal Doom more than normal Doom.

There's literally nothing wrong with playing retro games via composite or RF on an LCD screen.

>>4811665
There really isn't. The composite signaling is what makes dithering and transparency effects work. There are advantages to cancer ray tubes, but they get to much credit for things the tube has nothing to do with.

Here's Sonic 2 played on an LCD with composite video:

Notice the transparent pipe effect works even on an LCD

>>4811690
However, I can vouch for the fact that Mario doesn't flicker when hit by enemies on an LCD TV.

Why do I imagine this board's janitor as a fat boy who wears tighty-whiteys?

>>4811853
That's pretty hot

>>4811427
Sorry That guy hurt your feelings. He should have known not to tell the truth on /vr/.

Samus Returns is a better Metroid II remake than AM2R.

I hate shmups.

>>4811302
My Gradius 2 thread got reposted as well. No idea wtf happened.

You people honestly sound retarded. You know that's how 4chan has operated for over a decade, right? It seems to me like the only "hip new troll" is you guys complaining.

>>4811298
Looks like I win, thanks anon.

>>4811253
I think once we're in the year 2020, things have to be at least 20 years to be retro, regardless of platform.

The game might be on the PS3, but it came out 8 years ago, not old enough by far.

This thing has stirred up salt every time I've posted it in Breath of Fire threads.

>>4812370
non-brainlet version

>>4812379
TRIGGERED

>>4811992
No, they're correct. I was reposting verbatim the last thread on the board and now I have an IP range ban from starting any here.

I like brutal doom

>>4812292
>things have to be at least 20 years to be retro
That’s pretty ridiculous given that only inthis year would the Dreamcast have been permitted to be discussed here. Personally I think 15 years is much more reasonable.

>>4811247
There are people who think otherwise?

>>4811948
This is actually true.

>>4811224
I play retro games for fun

Nintendo saved the video game industry.

Retro gamers can't into dynamic experiences

Lower picture quality doesn't make a game look better. Blurring an image on a CRT or with inferior video cables only "hides" flaws because your picture quality is garbage.

Technical limitations of the time period were not and are not artistic decisions, only compromises.

For a fun time, offer your collections on craigslist for much more than they're worth :-)

>>4816027
much more or much less?

>>4816030
more. way above market value. And then you can imagine nerds whining about it on reddit and have a giggle

>>4815973
No shit, the artistic decisions that were informed by tech limitations are artistic decisions. You must have a very naive view of art if you think compromises and deliberate artistic decisions are somehow mutually exclusive

>>4816030
>>4816032
or you could do much less and ignore all emails so some of those people get pushed over the edge of giving up on craigslist forever xD

I am assembling a hoard of Trinitrons TVs in my basement in preparation for their inevitable jmup in value.

I'm the poster that shits up this board with "your thoughts?" "what am I in for?" "did it age well?" "was it kino?" threads.

Disc rot.
… Not saying anything about it, beyond the fact it exists.

With VERY FEW exceptions, There's no such thing as a hidden gem. The mainstream popular titles are usually the only good things the system as to offer. All the unknown shit is usually unknown for good reason, and the stuff people usually consider "Hidden gems" aren't very good, or they're just worse versions of a mainstream title.

>>4817125
looks like you succeeded

SNES games are best enjoyed with this kind of filter.

I've never completed Chrono Trigger and FFVI and I find them good but overrated.

I prefer Baldur's Gate II and Planescape and even Dark Sun to both games

>>4817176
>I've never completed Chrono Trigger and FFVI
You should beat them then.

>>4817156
Ive litterally never seen this and thought it was a meme. Welp looks like im backing up everything and getting an air tight trunk.

>>4817184
That won't help. The materials will separate just the same. It doesn't matter, because you can find another copy of those 1s and 0s any time.

His panniculus will advance a grade by this year's end.

>>4817184
It's kind of a relative thing, certain production batches of laserdiscs, and certain production batches of DVDs, have been identified to be especially susceptible to so called disc rot, due to inferior manufacturing methods, and are likely to exhibit it after a far shorter time than normal.

Most disc media has the possibility to rot, and probably will at some point, but it tends to take a lot longer than scaremongers like to suggest. I'd be more worried over floppies, diskettes, or even tape, that stuff is vulnerable as is, and definitely don't last many decades.

That said, backing up your disc content on something far more enduring and reliable, like Solid State Drives, isn't a bad idea.

3-2-1
3 copies
2 media types
1 offsite

>>4817173
I actually do think those filters can look good, but only for very simple style games like Mario and Zelda. Looks like trash on Donkey Kong Country.

>>4817617
I like NTSC composite filters. Doesn't remove detail from the pixel art or add anything that isn't there.
