/vr/ - Retro Games

Snatcher/Policenauts
Blade Runner The Game
Syndicate Wars
Shadowrun
Neuromancer but I have no idea if it's good

>>4859474
DreamWeb, Amiga AGA version.
And of newer ones I sincerely recommend I/O revision II.

>>4859474
Angel Devoid on youtube.
Messiah (2000) is fucking awesome, but it's not really cyberpunk, more like Y2K futurism.

>>4859552
This and Final Fantasy 7.

Cyberpunk is such a stupidly overrated genre gotdamn

Not retro. Janitors should do their job.

>>4859769
You may not like it. I do enjoy 50's noir in the future.

>>4859771

Dude, think about it like this:

In the year 2001 would games from the early 8's be considered 'retro'? Yeah I would say so.

>>4860179
>le games grow more retro over time meme
Sixth gen will NEVER EVER be allowed here, bitch.

>>4860183
Why not?

>>4860187
Because Retro refers to videogaming from the 20th century. This is not up for debate. Like it or leave.

>>4859474
B.a.t. and b.a.t. 2, shadowrun, day of the viper, mines of titan, (not cyber punk but great still) it came from the desert,

PLAY SNATCHER

>>4860252
Snatcher on wii through a sega cd emulator. Use a wiimote as a lightgun!

Well, well, well. Deus Ex. Pathetic.

>>4860179
I don't give a fuck about your reddit-spaced opinion janitor, do your job bitch, you idiots spend enough time deleting things unnecessarily, i know you have nothing better to do.

I think Burn Cycle is pretty underrated. Cool atmosphere, music, and decent acting for an FMV "game."

DX is nearly 20 years old, it is retro whether fags like it or not.

Oxford dictionary:
"retro1
adjective

Imitative of a style or fashion from the recent past.
‘retro 60s fashions’"

For you console fags DX is Dreamcast era stuff.

Ghost in the Shell for example started in the 80's but there are games and films made today. The SAC saga is retro now.

>>4860550
double spacing

>>4860210

Wouldn't it just make games before that era vintage instead?

>>4860210
HAHAHAHAHAHA You are so wrong about everything.

>>4859474
Policenauts is amazing for 1994

what kind of autism decided we can talk about games made in 2000 on 2000 PC hardware but can't talk about games made in 2000 on 2000 console hardware?

Even if the point of view is quite different from these>>4859552, a lot of themes in Alpha Centauri are pretty cyberpunk.

>>4861223
HAHAHAHAHAHA You are so butthurt about PS2, Xbox, Cube and GBA never getting considered retro here.

Anachronox? It's on steam

>>4861402
The good kind of autism to be honest.

>>4861402
>2000 PC hardware
[citation needed]

You could run many 2000 PC games on hardware from the late '90s.

Tbfrank, if a game can be run on Win98, it should be allowed here.

Seeing as Deus Ex was made for that OS, it is decidedly retro, hence why the mods do not delete threads about the game.

>>4861525
>>4861519
Meh I played Dungeon Siege originally on a 90s machine and yet mods still deleted the thread someone made about that game some time ago.

>>4861543
Next time specify that in the OP and perhaps the mods won't prune it.

>>4861543
dungeon siege was made with XP in mind, so it isn't retro

any pc game that was made after late 2001 isn't allowed here

>>4861446
I'm not, but you are delusional about 6th gen not being retro forever.

>>4861543
>Neverwinter Nights not being deleted ever.

>>4861571
>I-I-I'm totally not SEETHING, trust me

>>4861571
Why would sixth gen, which has more in common with modern gaming than actual retro games, ever be seen as retro?

>>4861587
Why does 5th gen count? Was the start of 3D gaming, it shouldn't count following your statement.

>>4859769
I like it, its the derivatives that are cancerous though.

>>4861559
I made a Serious Sam thread once and it got deleted, seriously.

>>4861623
Not an argument. 5th gen was the pioneer/experimental days of 3D before it became homogenized, so it should count as retro.

Deus Ex is a "minimun CPU required Pentium II-recommended CPU Pentium III" game, both hardware from the mid-late 90's around the same time as the PS and N64, those games should be allowed. The ones that recommends Pentium 4, or even requires minimun Pentium III only, aren't retro anymore because those look like or are literally PS2 games.

>>4861638
>4th gen wasn't experimental, then it shoudn't count as retro.
You make no fucking sense.

>>4861649
Deus Ex was too complex to be ported 1:1 to a PS2. Not a complain, just a comment.

>>4861653
4th gen wasn't even the peak of 2D gaming, lad. It should've gone on for at least one more gen.

>>4861635
Sounds like the janny doesn't want you to discuss post-2000 PC games, then.

>>4861653
>4th gen
>not experimental
lolwut

>>4861710
There was a thread about a 2005 game open during 1 month.

>>4861735
>Better graphics
>experimental

>>4861761
>innovative game design and graphical tricks at the time
>not experimental

>>4861436
Alien Crossfire even had a faction of cyberpunks

>>4861735
The way Nintendo used chips on the cartridge to overcome the limitations of the console was pretty ingenuous. But the thing that impresses me the most about the snes is probably the stellaview. I still have no clue as to how they could have come up with such a design and made it work.

>>4861559
>any pc game that was made after late 2001 isn't allowed here
In fact, any PC game made after 1999 isn't allowed here. No idea why BG2, DE, and Diablo 2 get free passes, even when they're reported.

>not a single mention

Come fire. Purge this unclean board.

>>4862665
Depends on the poster. Mods don't like certain IPs.

>>4862665
Because those are Win98 (a retro OS) games, not WinXP (a non-retro OS) games.

It makes sense to make the cut-off for PC games pre-XP (August 2001).

shadowrun for snes is based as fuck

>>4862852
When HL2 first game out it was Win 98 compatible. Does that count?

>>4862852
what about post August 2001 games which run on win 98 but not XP?

>>4860864
Id just like to point out Serious Sam TFE and TSE should be consiodered retro too as it runs on hardware made in 1997(hell the engine was done by then)

>>4862978
Perosnally id cut off all pc games at that point. As by then graphics got 6th gen. meanwhile games like deus ex or serious sam still look like games from 1997

>>4859474
Immercenary.

>>4860864
>>4862982
If rules made sense , everything made for Windows 98 should be retro. Alas this mostly a consolefaggotry board.

>>4862978
like what

>>4863226
To be clear I said "before Deus Ex" so prior to June 2000.

All games based on the first Unreal engine and first 3 Quake engines are retro today. They won't run today without 3rd party modifications unless you have something like a Dreamcast (which was the last 'real' console IMHO BTW).

Other then linear textures and more polygons 3D games are essentially the same stuff since circa 2000 to today. Same shit, more polygons. I understand why one would question 3d games being retro but I think at this point this software is old enough. You can't just insert the retail CD of Deus Ex you bought in 2000 into the cd drive and expect it to run on your Windows 10 OS. You would need to get a processor from 10-15 years ago to run retail.

Steam is cancer by the way, you don't own your games. I remember buying retail Half Life 2 and not being able to run it because of this cancer requiring an Internet connection to call home like some malware.

>how to search on internet

>Post that 4th gen was the same gameplay as 3th gen.
>Get deleted.
>Half of this thread is people talking about non-retro PC games.

>>4864470
3rd gen*

>>4863662
>Same shit, more polygons.
Sure this is part of it, but lighting and visual effects kept improving dramatically for another decade, only in the last few years has 3d graphics stopped improving much IMO. I mean, in 2000 we didn't even have programmable shaders yet, it was still fixed 3d pipeline, and it wasnt until ~2005 where shaders got unrestricted enough by hardware to start doing cool/complex algorithms.
When(if) consumer-level raytracing takes off we might see another big jump in graphics.
I only mention this to put our /vr/ 3d discussion in perspective.

>>4859474
Crime Cities. I wet my pants when a modern system friendly version was released.

>>4860179
Fuck off rule changer faggot

>>4864506
muh not retro shitposting is the main taint of this board
