/vr/ - Retro Games

Reminder that most gamers today consider Skyrim a classic.

>>6493828
Last game I played was Medal of Honor and it doesnt feel that old honestly

>>6493828
does any adult actually consider games released 5-10 years ago to be "pretty old" ?
like does anyone play mario kart 8 or GTA5 and say "man this game is pretty old" ????

>>6493885
Needs another tier. Antediluvian gamer?
First- and second-gen FPSs - Wolf3D Doom, Quake
Games for MS-DOS
Shareware games
Anything on cassette tape
Atari 2600 or Mattel Intellivision cartridges

>>6493837
Those 10 year olds are now in college, so yeah.

>>6493853
18 year olds would. To them, yeah, it would be ancient, I know when I was 18, age 8 already seemed like a lifetime ago.

Classic - it was released over 10 years ago
it was a DS game

>>6493885
>there's already been a new Joker since this image

>>6494206
You're making it sound a lot older than it is, Joaquin Phoenix Joker was already in production when Suicide Squad came out.

>>6494213
Oh, my bad.

I've been playing equal amounts of Shining in the Darkness and the new Animal Crossing. Should I average them?

>>6493837
Any game that's been ported that many times kind of has to be.

Ancient+
Last game I played came out over 35 years ago. Kangaroo. Is good.

>tfw Deus Ex, Final Fantasy IX and Majora's Mask are all considered ancient games now

Anyways, Deus Ex was the last game I played and it just recently became ancient.

>>6494438
>ffix
Not ancient until next month.

>>6494490
Deus Ex will be ancient within two weeks.

>>6493906
You missed the entire point of the joke.

>>6494339
Loved it to death on my Atari 2600 and on my NES

>>6493828
Well considering we all play games from the 70's up to the end of the 90's: yes.

In technology and media (which videogames is apart of both) once something is about a year or two old, it's borderline obsolete and someone will consider it old.

I wasn't even 10 years old in the year 2000 but I'll never be able to think of anything made after that as old.

i was 13 20 years ago

>>6493828
fuck gamefaqs.

i just got suspended and purgatory for saying "how about that, I guess all that social distancing went away" when the riots started.

Consume! Old games are for losers! Buy this fucking skin you little shit and be better than the other human excrement! Old games are for virgins, don't you think? Buy PS5!

>>6494638

Yeah I'm sure people are focused on ancient=20 years old but that whole thing looks fucked. Like a game stops being brand new on day 8 and a recent game can be 12 months old, then suddenly a game is pretty old at over 5 years old? What this made by a 6 year old that hasn't developed a reference for time yet?

>>6493853
I'm in my 30s and I think of Mario Kart Wii as an old game. Sitting with my dad in the living room playing Mario Kart 64 feels like a lifetime ago.

>>6493828
Ancient gamer here

Accurate, the progression is complete for me. You think that won't be you until it happens.

>>6494778
this

>>6493837
There's such a thing as a modern classic

>>6494750
holy shit that is exactly the late 90s version of this

>>6494750
how is that box resisting the weight of both the PSX and the CRT?
How is the PSX itself resisting the weight of the CRT?

>>6493828
Reminder that everything before 09/11/2001 (when the old world ended) is considered retro

>>6494848
Look closer, the PSX is on a shelf above

>>6494853
You're right. The fuck is under the CRT then? some kind of VCR? Lighting too obscure for me to tell.

>>6494848
Probably still has the styrofoam

>>6493828
No. Most people here aren't old enough to even be here.

>>6494852
The "old world" ended when 4G phones became a thing.

>>6493837
reminder that in 1998 ten-year-old games were officially considered retro.

>>6493828
dunno probably
im plying mdk atm

>>6495156
Yes, certainly, marketing copy from a 90s game mag is the golden standard.

>>6494750
That’s a fucking rad setup dude

>>6495156
The 2010s were nothing more than just a homogeneous haze in gaming. The HD twins didn't do anything but graphics and woke BS, and Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot for 5 years with the Wii U. The only thing that really mattered was the rise of independent game developers.

Contrast this with the evolution in gaming from the 80s to the 2000s where each new game felt like lightning in a bottle with new gameplay, features, and technology to define themselves as being the videogame zeitgeist by exploring new frontiers.

When Mario 64 was released, it was like putting a man on the moon.

primary source document. now go dilate while you find the best filter to hide your hairline.

>>6494213
Wasn't the guy who played DAMAGED joker really pissy about the Phoenix movie? I remember hearing he was trying to stop production at different points.

>>6494750
I had that Sarah Michelle Gellar poster too... yikes, long time ago now!

Currently playing Earthbound for the first time so....ancient?

That poll is kind of shitty. Ancient should be some Atari shit or something.

>>6493828
>Currently just leisurely replaying Legend of Mana
>released in 1999
Well, fuck you. I'd rather play anything from PS1 than anything on the PS4.

>>6493828
last game i played was f-zero last night

>>6495626
DUSTY OLD BONES
FULL OF GREEEN DUST

>>6495156
Things moved faster then. The difference between 1988 and 1998 was a hell of a lot more pronounced than 2008 and 2018.

>>6495618
It comes from a site whose current population is mostly zoomers.

>>6494604
You may be surprised. Games to me don't feel old, but what about movies from 20 years ago? The Room was from 2003, do you really think of it as new? Or say, the Sony Spider-Man movies, or Pirates of the Caribbean? What about Fast and Furious 1-3? I understand the feeling on game age, but for other stuff I don't see it at all.

>>6494702
Well it's a website for kids, what do you expect? I bet roblox is the most active forum on the site.

I also find it funny to point out that gamefaqs itself would be considered ancient by this poll, given that it started in mid-90s. Never forget that GFAQs still hosts a Dark Forces walkthrough that addresses whether or not the game is a doom clone.

>>6494857
Almost certainly it's a VCR.

>>6495303
"Woke BS" wasn't a thing on the HD consoles, you're confusing it with their successors, which btw are themselves nearly a decade old. You're right that the HD systems haven't done anything impressive or noteworthy, but at the same time we kind of banged the door down on meaningful progression anyway.

>>6495325
Fuck off with your dumbass commentary. We already know what your response to this will be anyway so don't bother continuing to post, just fuck off to whatever containment site you migrated from.

>>6493828
I'm nearly 40, so yeah, I'm ancient.

>>6494827
Only differences is the other picture seems to be legit, not a set someone slapped together in a day to try and market Capcom games.

>>6494827
Zooms actually think this picture is from the 80s

>>6495741
Zooms actually zoom-zooming their zoomies if you know what I mean

>>6493837
Because it is. Get over yourself if you think otherwise no one thinks you're cool. Fucking retard. You're gonna be like hurr go back to /v/ or some newfag bullshit but actual /vr/ posters acknowledge great games are both new and old so fuck off with that shit bitch ass mother fucking dick licker.

>>6495862
It's the worst mainline TES, barely a RPG at this point.

Also good job in outing yourself as a zoomer.

>>6495684
Absolutely not, 20 years ago is much "older" in the context of games than it is in the context of films. The last movie I watched is from '85, and I wouldn't consider that an "old" movie. Hell, I'm going to start watching "Brief Encounter" from '45 pretty soon, and while it's "old" it isn't even close to the oldest movie I've seen recently.

>>6495884
This is just contrarian, "Arena" is by far the worst mainline title. Everything about it is tedious and there is very little in the way of meaningful exploration, quests, or combat beyond button mashing.

>>6493828
Are CoD4 and Crysis classics? Fuck me

>>6495156
>reminder that in 1998 you weren't born yet

>>6495862

Back to /v/.

>>6495862

>>6494750
What a comfy image, Seems like a bro i'd want to hang out with. Driver was an awesome game back then

>>6495684
Those movies definitely feel like modern stuff to me. The Batman movies from the 90's, those are old movies, but then X-men, spiderman, matrix, pirates of the caribbean, it's all modern. The ninja turtles from the early 2000's will always be the new ninja turtles to me, and the new power rangers are all the ones made after lost galaxy. Like, even if I was still a small kid, there was a completely different feel to everything made after the turn of the century, suddenly everything was like, you know, sleek and modern.

>>6494628
Same here man. Time flies doesn't it.

>>6493828

The most current game that I'm currently playing is Soul Calibur VI. The retro game that I'm currently playing is Harvest Moon Back to Nature. I love the old stuff but try to keep up with the fighting game community

>>6493828
I consider myself more of a Renaissance gamer, considering I began playing on a NES.

>>6493828
It's weird thinking about the fact zoom zooms think about 2000 the same way we think about the 80's.

>>6494750
you could literally just say that this image was from 2020 and then suddenly all the replies would be about how much of a so.yboy cuck he is

>>6495303
>woke BS
why does this live rent free in so many heads? i can't think of any examples

Last game I played was retro- Republic Commando

>>6496936
Not sure what you're trying to imply here. That you're so hard core retro that you're not familiar with games made last decade? Or that you're so young you aren't familiar with games made last decade?

>>6494524
this

>>6494039
I mean it basically is

>>6494857
Jesus Christ you’re so obviously 12. First you don’t know the PS1 wasn’t black. Then you can’t identify a VCR. What a faggot.

>>6496613
how can you stand the constant interruptions in gameplay in SC6? Soul guard or whatever its called. I like my fighting games flowing, like SC1 and 2.

>>6494632
you can complain about Error on leddit like i do. kek.

Are we all Formerly Chuck's?

>>6493853
The older you get the faster time seems to go. There are people who are 20 now who saw Iron Man at 8 years old and to them that's an old movie.

>>6494039
10 years is a long time anon, even if we find that time passes 'quicker' as an adult (I don't personally but most people do).

>>6496929
Um, no just no
