/vr/ - Retro Games

not retro

>>6676225
Actually was /v2k/ ever announced or some shit? Or is it just PS2 fags cope?

>>6676225
Now that the dust has settled, what do you feel are the, dare I say, quintessential sixth generation scotformers?

For me it’s "Link It Up!", the Game Boy Advance remake of the retro classic "Mario Madness".

>>6676234
Just cope. Posters like >>6676236 actually think they won't just get their 6th gen posts and threads removed forever. They think it "will become" retro.
Any day now, zoomies... Keep waiting, maybe next year.

I think the 6th genners should take up shop in /vrpg/ as a protest. All they've managed to achieve here is pissing people off and making them way more resistant to the idea of allowing 6th gen on /vr/. Considering RPG games are allowed to be discussed outside /vrpg/ for some reason it makes their case for /v2k/ much more powerful since /vrpg/ is pointless and /v2k/ related discussion isn't allowed or wanted here and gets drowned out on /v/ and /vg/ which isn't a problem that RPG games have. Them getting their own board is the best of both worlds since they get to discuss their shit and /vr/ doesn't get flooded with GTA, Halo and Kingdom Hearts threads. If a fucking stupid and pointless board like /vrpg/ that has a subject that can be discussed outside the board is allowed to exist then /v2k/ has a pretty good chance of being created.

>>6676251
Nice blog fag

>>6676251
>All they've managed to achieve here is pissing people off and making them way more resistant to the idea of allowing 6th gen on /vr/
Agreed. And in retrospect, there isn't even enough demand to make /v2k/. It's just plain silly
t. ps2 fag

>>6676257
even if there was it would just turn out like /vr/ is now, a dead board, since franchises that get HD ports are still discussed on /v/, and even though the 2000s has a pretty big catalog, i doubt people would actually play games that much to discuss anything other than the usual

>>6676251
>/vrpg/ is pointless
No more pointless than this shithole, yet here we are.

Hey all!

I made a 6th gen thread where anyone who wants to talk about 6th gen stuff is welcome!

Gameboy Advance, Xbox, all welcome here.

This could be mitigated on /v2k/ by forcing their own logic/rules on themselves by allowing 7th gen and further to be added as time passes. Soon they won't be able to post about 6th gen anymore since Gears, Halo, Uncharted, Last of U etc, threads drown their shit out and they finally understand why we were so opposed to having more gens added over time.

>>6676278
Not sure if it'll accomplish anything. But hey, it's a start. Even though it will probably sink anyway

>>6676251
You're looking at it from the wrong perspective.
Best case scenario is that /vrpg/ is just a trial board to eventually excise as much worthwhile discussion as possible from /v/, leaving them as containment for their precious fucking e-celebs and twitter drama threads. That'd solve the 2k issue just fine too, since there wouldn't be a need for them to try and fit in with /vr/ anymore.

>>6676225
They're mad, but not because of what you're implying.
6th gen people want their stuff to be included on /vr/, they don't want /v2k/. One of their main arguments was that Hiroyuki didn't want more vidya boards. Now that vrpg was created, they lost that argument. /v2k/ is coming, and that's a good thing. Imagine how cleaner the traffic on /vr/ will be.

>>6676289
>Soon they won't be able to post about 6th gen anymore
So where do they do it?

>>6676283
They will be advocating for their own board, not trying to force their subject matter onto a board that doesn't want it, the /vrpg/ board is pointless yet /v2k/ has an excellent case for its creation thus giving great strength to their argument and /vrpg/ is new thus has tons of attention, the spotlight is placed very firmly on it, now is the time to strike. Nobody asked for /vrpg/ and it doesn't need to exist, there is tons of demand for /v2k/ and it doesn't exist.

>>6676289
Sol you're acknowledging that the sixth generation needs a dedicated place that it can be discussed from a historic perspective and not drowned out by discussion of subsequent generations (7+).

>>6676289
So you're acknowledging that the sixth generation needs a dedicated place where it can be discussed from a historic perspective and not drowned out by discussion of subsequent generations (7+).

>>6676309
That's exactly my point. Adding more and more gens over time eventually results in a situation where it's extremely crowded and you can't have any discussion of older gens because newer stuff is more popular. Adding 6th gen sets a precedent that results in 7th and above being added which will destroy previous gen discussion entirely. Anyone who thinks /vr/ is dead or slow should visit other chan websites aside from 4chan some time. /vr/ has a comfy pace to it, not to fast, not too slow.

I just want an arcade gaming board, consolecucks and PCucks can rot on this shithole for all I care.

>>6676325
I would say that you should broaden the scope of /vr/ in the short term and then spin /v2k/ off when there's enough of a historic interest in post-2000 gaming to warrant its own board from that perspective.

>>6676329
Can't you discuss Arcade in here? Not like there is any modern arcades anyway

>>6676331
>when seethe gen shit up /vr/ so hard they will have their own board

>>6676331
>>6676325
I have a better fucking idea. Why don't we make a board for each decade or generation post 2000?

>>6676332
>Can't you discuss Arcade in here?
Yes, and we do all the time. I dont know what his deal is.

>>6676321
Exactly. The definition of retro, (for both classic and 2k+) for the purposes of discussion should be set in stone instead of changing with the passage of time as some 6th genners advocate, which is an extremely short sighted approach that eventually destroys actual retro discussion and makes the existence of a retro board entirely pointless. Yes having that belief codified into the rules would allow discussion of 6th gen on /vr/ but it's a ticking time bomb that will culminate with only being able to talk about the most popular PS2 games without 404ing immediately and that discussion will be dominated by the more recent more modern gen entries in that series.

I absolutely do not want 6th gen discussion on /vr/ but I am very sympathetic to their cause, I am very aware of the fact that /v/ and /vg/ are way too fast for 6th gen to stay afloat, the creation of /v2k/ would solve every single problem that this situation has caused and leave everyone happy, it is the 100% ideal situation unless someone else has a better idea?

>>6676338
>>6676340
In the short-term, the 6th generation should be permitted on /vr/, then down the line when we get to the point where the 7th generation is being seriously considered, we can revisit the idea of splitting /vr/ into /v2k/ at 2000 (or even between the 4th and 5th generations).

>>6676348
>In the short-term, the 6th generation should be permitted on /vr/
Stopped reading right there.
The 19XX hardware limit isn't a slider, discuss your childhood on /v/.

>>6676340
Fuck generations, just continue with from /vrpg/ and split the rest of the genres into separate boards. /v/ can be twitter, e-celebs and other dumb shit, /vr/ still has a reason to exist for tech, arcades and stuff, and then you have boards for everything else that isn't a shithole like /v/.

>>6676354
Could work too.

>>6676354
>and then you have boards for everything else that isn't a shithole like /v/
But anon, you have to realize you are the shithole, shitting up boards after boards.

>>6676347
We're in a tough spot at the moment because there's not quite enough discussion for post-2000 gaming to warrant its own history board, even if you threw in the 5th generation, but I do think that will ultimately be the solution down the line.
>>6676353
Yes yes epic zoomityzoom and such.

>>6676361
Project somewhere else.

>>6676374
You're the one who want to shit up a board until you're given your own special safe space.

>>6676385
You're mixing me up with someone else, dipshit. I'm not the one who is calling to raid fucking /vrpg/ for attention.

>>6676390
>You're mixing me up with someone else, dipshit
Could be because I can't see the difference between two retards.

The autists who are asshurt about PS2 posting are far more worse and obnoxious than those who are for it or indifferent.

>>6676402
I just don't care really. What would the discussions be like anyway?
>yo i just finished silent hill 2
>k

>>6676390
Their protests on /vr/ have been going on for over a year now and have only had the opposite effect, hardening the beliefs of this boards posters that 6th gen absolutely should not be allowed. They aren't pushing to have /vrpg/ be their new home but instead their own board, as a result though some /vrpg/ers may be mad initially they will be far more sympathetic and join them in advocating for their own board and the attention that this new board have will really propel the plight of 6th genners into the spotlight. Having a mass protest occur on the new board will ensure that Hiroyuki will see it and have to address it.

Because someone was stupid enough to suggest that the release of newer consoles made older consoles acceptable topics on this board, and kept that statement pinned to the top of this board for 6 years.

Oh well, we can discuss it here then. Anyway, did someone save the suggestion for OP?

>>6676456
Sure it has, the only “bad faith” arguments are from the resident board autist who’s responsible for:
>just make /v2k/
>just because a year goes by doesn’t change when the bicentennial was
>6th gen is too modern and icky
>this is MY childhood nostalgia board and no one else’s
>misinterpreting the clearly worded sticky
>talking to himself/samefagging
>throwing embarrassing tantrums when exposed
The reality is that time marches on and he grows sadder and more out of touch with his own peer group every day.

Still wasn't a space of 20 years, which is the zoomer argument. Also, the bottleneck has always been the year 2000. Nothing changed.

>>6676903
>nothing changed
That’s not true, the Dreamcast was allowed after the release of 8th gen. I mean let me be blunt, we both know you’re afraid of gen 6 coming here, otherwise you’d simply laugh these threads off and not waste your time “campaigning” in them.

>>6678982
yeah this, the zoomers won already, the mods are gone...

>>6678982
which is why they should all go back to /v/ already!

There's no need for v2k when, in a few years from now, /vr/ will warmly accept the rest of gen 6. PS360Wiifriends, on the other hand, will have to wait.

>>6679065
that's honestly for the best, gen 6 was the end of truly 'retro' gaming as online elements weren't mainstream until gen 7.

>>6676251
I'm still waiting for them to make /incel/, internet celebrities, so we can tell metal jesus and AVGN posters to go there.

>>6676225
Why does /vrpg/ even exist though? It doesn’t seem like anyone actually wanted it.

Also I do support creating /v2k/ as a containment board but I wonder how many people would actually post there. There’s not nearly as much to talk about as there is with the other gaming boards.

>>6679168
6th gen was the last generation to contain actual difficulty and some of the same game design philosophies as retro games. Going to HD and having online multiplayer led to a different kind of game design, it was more hand-holdy and slower.

>>6676251
The problem with 6th genners is that they were bitching on a backwater irrelevant board like /vr/, no wonder that /vrpg/ became a board first since they were shitting the catalogue in actually relevant boards like /v/ and /vg/. Maybe now its the time for /v2k/ advocates to claim the spotlight and take over /vrpg/

>>6679218
>/v2k/ advocates
you've been pushing that literally all night lmao

>>6679225
its my first post in this thread schizo, and I say it precisely because I don't want 6th gen shit in /vr/

>>6676248
The GBA is old enough to vote

Sorry to break it to you guys but people will get more use out of /vrpg/ than the dozen or so autists here that keep whining about /v2k/.

>>6679391
>dozen or so
it's literally just the one guy.

Were RPG games flooding /v/ and /vg/ or something? I don't see why an entire genre would get its own board, unless it was something like gacha.

>>6679812
Apparently over half of /v/ was SMTshit at one point.

>>6679862
Not even that. It was purely Persona 4.
As I said earlier, very autistic move, there was like 2-3 threads of Persona per day and they decided to make a whole new board for RPGs.

It didn't formally start until 2001, when all three major players of that gen (GC, Xbox, PS2) were in competition, retarded underage nigger.

>>6680070
The 6th gen started with SEGA and no matter how much you seethe about it the Dreamcast will always be retro

>>6680046
"Retro" isn't a spesific period in history. It's "around 20 years ago"

The term started in the 70's to refer to things from the 50's.

And all that aside, why would the sicky bother with saying "With the release of the 8th generation of consoles" at all?

>>6680076
thanks to based bernie it was, anyways

>With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro"

>>6680091

If that were true the PS2 wouldn't be 6th gen

Not according to the rules:

>Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro.

Seethe more, Gen6 scum.

>>6680094
PS2 is sixth gen because it lived fully throughout that gen. Dreamcast died, what, before even the Xbox and Gamecube were even released? It's not a real sixth gen system, get over it already.

>>6680106
>get over it already

>>6680112
All I'm saying is that PS2, Xbox and Gamecube is not retro, while the Dreamcast is, since it was released in 1998. Is it so hard to understand? Or do you have a hate boner for Sega?

>>6680135
I think you're correct. It's logical and clear that PS2, Xbox and Gamecube are not retro and never will be.

>>6680135
Yes, Dreamcast is retro, but it's not 6th gen. It was a mid-5th-gen substitute for the Saturn because that console failed hard outside of Japan.

>>6680092
>So you think in 30 years time the PS4 magically becomes retro?
Yes. That's how the term, and time itself, works.
You think we where calling PS1 games "retro" in 95?

>>6680143
yes because we were all aware the retro period would end definitively at the millennium

>>6680146
>the retro period would end definitively at the millennium
So, 2001?

>>6680143
The fact that there were PS1 emulators in the late 90s demonstrates that, yes, PS1 has always been retro. PS2 never was, and never will be.

"Retro gaming" means everything up to 2000.

>>6680149
the milennium happened in 2000, we started at year 0, not year 1.

>>6680146
>we were all aware the retro period would end definitively at the millennium
Gonna need to see some sources for that.

Especially considering "retro" is not a period

>>6680152
There is not year 0
The first year was the year 1

>>6680149
No. Do you know how decades work? 2000 is actually part of the 90s zoom zoom. Google it.

>>6680154
if you don't remember how important the milennium was to gaming, you weren't there to see it. But how can I expect any less from a stinkin zoomer?

>>6680149
At the 1999/2000 border, everyone knew that this was an epoch change. You can't deny this. Everything before that point was immediately viewed as "old" and everything after immediately viewed as "new."
The same thing will happen in 3000, at which point it makes sense to add an additional /v2k/ board where people can talk about games from the current millennium.

>>6680150
>The fact that there were PS1 emulators in the late 90s demonstrates that, yes
Anon, that doesn't mean shit

>>6680158
I'm 31. Stop trying to use age as an easily dismissible excuse

>>6680157
>moving goalposts
He's talking about milleniums, not decades. You call me a zoomer yet you can't understand such basic concept. The 3rd mllenium started at 2001, everything between January 1st 1001 to December 30th 2000 is 2nd millenium.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_millennium

>>6680161
It does. Emulation has always been a key indicator of retro gaming. It's not the whole story, but the PS1 is inextricably linked with emulation, while the PS2 is not.
PS1 = retro
PS2 = modern

>>6680163
31 what? Weeks? Get it? Because you're a stupid fucking baby? Lmao stupid zoomer set me up for that one

>>6680158
>>6680160
You hold a simple date in too much reverence. Late 5th gen plays effectively the same as early 6th gen. The only real difference at that point was visuals and being able to fit more random shit on the screen.
The transition from 4th to 5th gen was far more impactful due to 3D, and if we where meant to have a "real" old game board, they should have cut it there. But they didn't, and the mention of "With the release of the 8th generation of consoles" implies that it will continue with the release of 9th gen consoles.

But hey, maybe it won't, and cutting it off and the special year rule will stick. It's up to the mods

>>6680169
>Emulation has always been a key indicator of retro gaming.

>>6680230
There's literally 3 dreamcast threads atm

>>6680236
If it's not on the rules page, then it doesn't count. Sorry lad.

You fail to realize that 6th gen stuff isn't allowed here because it would destroy the purpose of /vr/, which is to allow discussion of old stuff that otherwise would die in 5 minutes on /v/ and /vg/. PS2/GC/Xbox/GBA games are more popular than games of older gens (enough to survive in the sea of shit that is /v/, at least in my opinion) and would bury the older stuff just like on /v/. A /v2k/ board would solve the problem of 6th gen stuff being drowned in /v/, but it's unlikely that you'll get it any time soon, specially when the constant creation of meta threads only make people hate 6th gen fags and the failure of a /v2k/ general on /vg/ showed that they're less numerous than expected.

>>6679812
No. A mod likes RPG and created /vrpg/ as a way to discuss them without having to deal with /v/edditors. /vg/ and /vp/ are containment boards dedicated to keep unwanted stuff out of /v/, while /vr/ and /vrpg/ are sanctuary boards created to preserve discussion of topics that can't survive on /v/ due to its fast speed.

>>6680250
>6th gen fags
PS2/GC/XBOX fags*

Let's assume 4chan decision makers actually have a plan and keep to a pattern.
Just for the moment assume this theory to be true.
Then consider:
Dreamcast was allowed mid 2014, half a year after the launch of the big 8th gen consoles.
It would follow that any other additions to the /vr/ discussion would be allowed in the year following the 9th gen console releases, yes?
Ergo, until least mid 2021 there is no point in discussing this.

>>6680273
Dreamcast was allowed mid-2014.
That's it, the story ends there.

>>6680285
So, either:
You think you can predict the future, which must be a heavy burden in addition to your general insanity.
Or:
It's a religion thing and you won't believe it no matter what happens, even if they did change the rules.
So there's no point in arguing with you. You may go.

>>6680340

The future doesn't include the laws of physics suddenly changing. Likewise, it doesn't include PS2 suddenly becoming retro.

>>6680465
that's not true, i've been to the future and there was but a single console that the future were deprived of: the sega saturn.

I'd rather get a new board exclusively for 70s and 80s games and let /vr/ burn, nostalgia goggle-wearing 90s-born retards are the most obnoxious people on the board.

>>6680832
you've been throwing a tantrum for over 12 hours at this point, give it a fucking rest lol

>>6680469
Unlike the ps1/ps2 homebrew scene which is basically dried out except for their poorly working retroarch emulator there is basically no new games for the legacy playstation. The saturn, on the other hand to this day still has homebrew games made for it and dirt cheap laser replacements. Point in case:

>>6680996
A year before that someone made a full on mazinger Z themed game with really well made sprites and everything

>>6676225
But... muh childhood...

I don't get the argument for 6th gen to be allowed on this board at all. I'm 22 and still own my PS2 slim from when I was 11 and I still don't consider it retro.

>>6680865
The saturn homebrew scene is in a good place, but that's not been the standard, that's a very recent turn of events, especially contrasted to the absolutely amazing dreamcast scene of the aughts.

>>6681097
Right now Wolfenstein 3D is being ported, 60fps too. Some people may not like it, but the future of classic homebrew is Saturn, not N64 or PS1.

>>6681710
The argument for it is that as time goes forward new things become old and old things become classic. We need to bring in 6th gen so we can get rid of 3rd gen and back and create /cvr/ - classic retro games.

>>6681740
Just talk about PS2 games on /v/.

>>6681747

Just promise me you won’t hurt yourself or anything like that when they do arrive.

If most of the consoles from 6th gen are banned, can you really say that 6th gen is allowed on /vr/?

>>6680250
gba won't survive on either main board though and /vg/ doesn't count.

>>6681860
Because 6th gen games for the Dreamcast are allowed

>>6680250
and sorry to doublt @ you but you know it doesn't count not becuase we're less in number but also becuase mods ban hammer them here when generals are not had on a cancerous general board. Generals were always vapid and evil

>>6681860
NOt only is dreamcast allowed but things like psx games that came out post two-thousand.

If we allow 6th gen soon 7th gen teenagers will make the same claims to get 7th gen on /vr/ and so on and so on

>>6684063

>>6684067
no i cant because ill NEVER admit the dreamcast is retro. NEVER EVER.

>>6684090
Baste. Let's go back to banning the DC so that zoomers can't think they have an ace up their sleeve for allowing the rest of 6th gen.

>>6684204
Which one? The OP?

Things are fine with how they are, except for the constant whining about how they should be different.

>>6684214
The only ones whining are “people” like you who start threads like this and samefag, just because you’re afraid of having to share the swing set with people marginally younger than you. Lmao

>>6684214
I don't care if the posters of this board are zoomers, boomers, yoomer wathever. What I care about is retro games. You can be born in 2002, but as long as you keep talking about games released in pre-2000 machines, that's fine.
A /v2k/ board wouldn't warm anyone, as it would allow people from any age talk about 00s games.

>>6684305
Honestly I can’t abide this. Personally, I’m for whatever solution gets rid of all the stinky zoomers. Their youthful energy, wit and candor are too much for me to keep up with, and I long for the days when a thread would stay alive in the catalog for several months. I fear if we don’t get more moderation on here that the zoomers have already won.

>>6684305
>warm

Sorry I forgot to take my meds again

>>6684308
How would that effectively work? By banning every console except the ones like Virtual Boy and the CDi? By banning every game that has been mentioned by any eceleb?

>>6684324
Those are both GREAT ideas, but honestly I think 4chan should have the equivalent of a voting literacy test, but with only questions us old guys would know. Like what year the bicentennial happened, or which band named after a city is best (it’s Chicago)

Just proof the mods are silently agreeing with the fact that the sticky will never ever change and that zoomers should give up and move on elsewhere.

>>6685056
But zoomers can still talk about pre-2000 games and consoles.

>>6685058
But why do we want to see posts by "people" who didn't even experience the retro times?

>>6685056
the mods only check this board when they have to lol

>>6685068
I don't know, but they still can regardless of people liking it or not

>>6685058

I was referring to the zoomers that shitpost and falseflag /vr/ thinking that if they shit the board up hard enough, the mods will cave in and let them have their way and add the rest of sixth gen. If there are zoomers with a legitimate interest in actual retro games, not just turning /vr/ into a board for their 6th gen shit, then that's cool.

>>6676278
wait.
why can we make a 6th gen general on /vg/? isn't it where it should be made?

The world if /vr/ allowed PS2 game discussions

>>6685153

This reminds me of when weaboos invaded /jp/ in 2012 and forced the board to become an Asian fetishist board when it was meant to be for visual novels and pc98 games and other interesting otaku media.

>>6685393

I just wanted to talk about GBA RPGs so it works out.

>that guy who accuses every poster of being a samefag and adds "lmao" at the end to appear not mad
I feel sorry for him and fear for his mental sanity once 9th gen arrives and ps2 still isn't allowed here.

>>6685502
It's ironic because it's literally one guy who always accuses people of "being the one guy" who does a thing.
People throw around the word "autistic" here a lot, but her's literally an autistic 6th gen enthusiast. I feel sorry for him too but it's funny to watch

>>6686197
They could
but they aren't
Every 3DS game could be a Dreamcast game
Every itch.io game released in 2020 could probably be ported to 5th gen consoles if not 4th
Nobody cares about whether it is possible to port the technology of a new game to a retro system and I don't know why would you use it as an argument

>>6686232

Did the dreamcast had two screens and touch controls? No

GBA is much more retro than Dreamcast and should be allowed here. PS2/XBOX can be considered as non retro forever.

/v2kg/ sunk like a stone because it's only you, the turboautist, and a couple other losers plus gen 7 losers
Allowing the GBA means allowing the PS2
They are equally old and specs mean nothing
Allowing the PS2 means allowing GC and Xbox
Sooner or later gen 7 will want to be allowed too
It's not how old it is or how many ports of older games it received
It's a time capsule with a very definite end date that's not changing just because you are crying
Also I enjoy the idea that you are suffering and seething for such a small and irrelevant thing, you do a lot of shitposting and you deserve to never taste victory just like you will never taste sex.

Webster:
"relating to, reviving, or being the styles and especially the fashions of the past : fashionably nostalgic or old-fashioned "
The Free Dictionary:
"Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of an earlier time"

Dictionary.com:
"of or designating the style of an earlier time"

Oxford Languages via Google:
"imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past"

None of these refer to it as pre-2000 specifically. It is a shortening of "Retroactive" that came into popularity in the 70's in reference to things in the 50's, and has sense been used to refer to anything from around 20 years ago. In the 80's the 60's where retro. In the 90's, the 70's, 00's was 80's, 10's are 90's. You get the idea

Only the initial ruleset deemed the board for systems pre 00's, and the sticky uses "With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not." Which carries the implication that due to a generational release, the Dreamcast was allowed entry. However, because of the cutoff being the 00's, the later 6th gen consoles are not allowed discussion.

Only time and management will tell us definitively if this board was intended as a spesific time capsule, or literal "retro" standards. And as the 9th generation is just around the corner, that answer will come soon. Until then, all we can do is wait

Just because people say something over and over again doesn't mean its true. Retro only refers to one aesthetic of a period of time, it doesn't change. Black and white films without sound made when films were first starting to be made are retro films. The Benz Patent Motor Car, an example of an early car, is a retro car. Since video games aren't that old, and Gen 5 has more in common with previous gens than Gen 6 in terms of aesthetic, Gen 5 is the cut-off point, and no amount of age will change that. Cope, seethe, dilate, etc. etc.

>>6686942

>>6676331
>>6676348
Allowing things with the expressed intent of forbidding them in the future is a recipe for future butthurt both for people who do and do not want to discuss gen 6 on /vr/. Fucking horrible idea.

>>6676347
/v2k/ makes way more sense than /vrpg/. There's a good amount of rpg discussion on /vr/, a few series on /vg/, and the whole fucking board of /vp/. Make a /v2k/ board and I'd probably poke around from time to time, but allowing gen 6 on /vr/ would be a consummate disaster.

>>6676402
>people who expect their wishes to be catered to regardless of the rules are far more obnoxious than people using the space that was made for them
The HRT is really affecting your brain.

>>6681862
Personally, I'd be perfectly fine with GBA on /vr/, but >>6680250 is 100% correct that PS2/XBOX/GC would ruin /vr/ by destroying whole classes of threads by changing the relative speed of the board in their favor and wiping more niche threads off the map. The only real threat allowing GBA would pose would be too many pokemon gen3 threads, but that could be easily remedied by saying all pokemon games after gen2 belong on /vp/.

>>6686978

>>6684067
It was a weird, waffling line by the mod but the dreamcast was dead by the time the actual gen 6 survivors were all on the market. And the dreamcast never had enough games to drown out unequivocally pre-gen 6 discussion, so allowing dreamcast threads has been harmless in itself; it doesn't make any other kind of /vr/ thread untenable. The same is not true of the "real" gen 6 consoles. A simple pre-2000 rule gets around that stupid sticky though I'm fine with GBA.

There is one poster responsible for like half the posts in this thread, and I really can't tell if he's false flagging or just in some weird manic state desperately starved for attention.

The 32 bit 16.78 MHz ARM7 processor of the GBA is a good deal more powerful than an SNES, so no. Still, I think the GBA is niche and harmless enough that I'm not against making a "handhelds before 2002" subclause.

>>6686509
The GBA Castlevania games get brought up constantly because it's way too awkward trying to avoid discussing them.

>>6686584
Threads specific to the GBA do, but GBA games come up naturally in discussion all the time due to various franchises, particularly Zelda, Castlevania, and Metroid.

>>6686797
All we need are two simple rules and everyone has a place to discuss what they want without opening the floodgates to drown out slower threads:
>1. No consoles released after 1999.
>2. No handhelds release after 2001.
Up until the Switch, handhelds have generally been a full generation behind consoles in terms of technical specs, so their games are usually in line with the design sensibilities of the previous generation. It would be nice to have a place to discuss the GBA Fire Emblem games.

No. The 2000 cut-off date is very good to me, because it stops all the whining about what should and should not be retro.
Why would the GBA be more retro than the ps2?

>>6688679
Man, don't even bother engaging autistic posters. She will just continue to keep replying and crying about how she wants to be able to talk about walking around in public playing Nintendo games on her GBA in public. It's really sad and if you're going to reply, only do so to recommend treatment programs like https://autismtreatmentcenter.org/

A thing is not more retro just because it has less processing power, that's absurd and the exact soulless argument 6th gen toddlers are bound to come up with.
You can't allow a handheld while at the same time ignoring other console that came out at the same time because their games were made at the same time and with the same zeitgeist.
The GBA outlived the Gamecube for fuck's sake, Nintendo positioned the DS as a "third pillar" and not a direct sucessor like the Wii.
Allowing GBA just because its games "look" more like retro games than PS2 games is the same as allowing discussion of modern indie games on /vr/ just because the devs used some 2D pixel art to mimic the classics.
You either accept the time frame the GBA was a part of or you don't
I do enjoy some 6th gen but as others pointed out we have a nice thing going at a nice pace on this board that allows many different niches to cohabit and it would be completely ruined.
Also 6th gen shitposters have proven themselves to be the most autistic and undesirable members of the board, I had some sympathy for the generation until seeing many threads become flooded with whining and antagonism. You think it will stop just because they got what they want? It'll only get worse as it always do when catering to this sort of people.

>>6686797
If you want your argument to seem more authentic, next time use an image of a classic anime, not whatever that thing is

>>6686797
>Also I enjoy the idea that you are suffering and seething for such a small and irrelevant thing
lmao I agree, people talk about GBA all the time anyway, who cared if you agree with it or not.

>>6688969
>Also 6th gen shitposters have proven themselves to be the most autistic and undesirable members of the board, I had some sympathy for the generation until seeing many threads become flooded with whining and antagonism.
I think it might've just been a small number of people here. There were more on /v/ asking for a new board to focus on 6th gen stuff because they realized just forcing it onto /vr/ would ruin it too. Plenty of people on /v/ agreed that a new 6th gen board would be good, but there was still one autist who freaked out at anyone suggesting a new board for it and saying that it has to be allowed on /vr/ instead. But you shouldn't hold it against everyone because of that one autist.

A lot of my favorite games are 6th gen and I simply have no place here to actually talk about them, which is disappointing. /vrpg/ allows one of my favorite 6th gen games but it's still barely getting any traffic compared to /v/ and the threads always die so soon. I still like coming to /vr/ for some 4th-5th gen games and don't want it changed but still wish I had something for 6th gen.

You do know that /v2k/ will happen right?

>>6690374
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA tell me you actually believe this little cuckzoom

>>6690409
>you can't allow 6th gen on /vr/
>you can't have your own board for 6th gen either
Seems kind of bitter desu

>>6688679
>Why would the GBA be more retro than the ps2?
No 3DPD.

>>6690423
Java confirmed retro

>>6690409
Don't be an asshole anon
The existence of a separate place for /v2k/ would make /vr/ so much better

>>6690501
But it's so much funnier watching gen6'ers sperg out because they have nowhere to go.

>>6690414
>you can't have your own board for 6th gen either
Correct. Actually, you have your own board, it's called /v/
>Seems kind of bitter
I don't care what it "seems" like to you, did I ask?
>>6690501
>Don't be an asshole anon
I like being an asshole to autistic seethegenners.
>The existence of a separate place for /v2k/ would make /vr/ so much better
No, one of the best parts of /vr/ is watching seethegenners seethe. I wouldn't want to take that away, it would make /vr/ worse, not better.
Keep seething!

>>6690374
Sure, after the dedicated boards for e-celebs, religion, actual discussion of filmography, non-vidya generals, gachashit, music production, non-wrestling alternative sports, furry-only content, loli and shota, and some other shit nobody cares about but autists constantly beg on /qa/ are created.

Also mods are niggers for letting this thread stay up for four days.

>>6690626
3D games are about as rare on the GBA as they are on the SNES, which had more 3D games than just Starfox.

>>6690548
>>you can't have your own board for 6th gen either
>Correct. Actually, you have your own board, it's called /v/
Have you tried making 6th gen threads on /v/? Only a few of the most popular titles from that era can stay alive to reach more than ten posts.

>I don't care what it "seems" like to you, did I ask?
lol what a fag

>>6690647
>Have you tried making 6th gen threads on /v/?
No, I'm not a complete fucking faggot. Thanks for telling everyone that you are, however.
>Only a few of the most popular titles from that era can stay alive to reach more than ten posts.
No one here cares. At all.

Why not just turn this thread into a 6th gen general? Since mods obviously don't care about removing an already off-topic thread, might as well give it some actual purpose.

Lately I've been enjoying OutRun 2SP on my PS2, thinking of starting up Nightshade too.

>>6690653
>No, I'm not a complete fucking faggot.
I might disagree, all the talk about seething autism feels like projection from you because you have a bad case of "stop liking what I don't like" and think it gives you an excuse to act like a huge sperg.

>>6690687
6th gen PC gaming needs more love. Severance Blade of Darkness and American McGee's Alice became some of my favorite games, and surprisingly both are considered abandonware.

ys a shit bro

I have pretty much never posted on /v/, but I tried to make a thread there today asking about VR headsets and apparently my IP range has been blocked from uploading photos. wtf

>>6692005

You think that's childish? You have no idea what i'm capable of

>>6692009
Happens to me too sometimes, it usually doesn't last more than a few days. Just some shithead on your network with a similar IP causing problems that they need to stop from making threads for a while I guess.

Another new video game board >>>/vmg/

>>>/vmg/
holy fuck.
At this rate /v2k/ is imminent.

>>6692118
more like they're just fucking with us

>>6692134
The fact that this thread is still here means that they are open to the idea.

>>6692098
haha what the fuck, a whole board for snake and solitaire and shit?

>>6692146
Yeah it's probably coming.
It'll be a bit weird to stop having "why is ps2 not retro?" threads anymore. They're annoying but at this point sort of a comedy sketch in /vr/

>Please note that, like /v/, "Generals"—long-term, one-after-the-other, recurring threads about a specific game are not permitted on /vmg/
The hell? Is gookmoot just trolling /vg/ by making a mobile game board without actually addressing the problem?

>>6692182
i've never been to /v/, and i've honestly never even considered that people talk about mobile games there
i'm pretty sure you need to be over 18 even for /v/, so who the fuck is talking about mobile games?

>>6692209
/vg/ is full of gacha game generals, which aren't allowed on the new board

>>6692159
It would be a utopia in here, for a couple of weeks. You know what zoomers are like.

vr2 is only a matter of time now lads

>>6679862
>half of /v/ was SMTshit
That's literally /vrpg/ right now. First time going in and all I saw was Persona and SMT threads taking up half of the fucking catalog.

>>6692098
I thought this was ridiculous at first but it's most likely just a containment board for all the goddamn gachashit threads. Maybe /v2k/ will finally have a chance to stay afloat on /vg/ without 404ing immediately now.

>>6692238
Yeah they were dying within 30 minutes on /vg/ before but a single thread for an entire era still felt too disjointed.

>>>/vmg/
/v2k/ advocates get cucked once again.

>>6692238
>>6692243
>Please note that, like /v/, "Generals"—long-term, one-after-the-other, recurring threads about a specific game are not permitted on /vmg/. Such threads belong on >>>/vg/
What is the fucking point then

>>6692249
At this point it's just stupid.
Why don't he just give them their v2k board?

i'm not angry that people are younger than me

There’s more mobile gamers than any other gamer at this point. There’s also tens of thousands of classic mobile games that are unplayable or just flat out missing. There’s mainline entries from Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana and others that are unplayable or just gone with no known copies surviving. So fuck of with this ridiculous attitude. It’s absurd. Mobile games are the worst preserved and they deserve attention. They’re also really really hard to preserve. Go try and play iOS DMC or Dead rising. I’ll wait

>>6692565
wow there's more people playing bejewelled on the bus for 10 minutes than the latest cowadoody? who'd have thought

>>6692548

I can appreciate the effort of preserving things though I'll laugh at your suggestion that these can be compared to video games even if the publishers sometimes slap titles of video game franchises on them.
I'd rather play Pix n' Love Rush, 1-bit Ninja, Jazz: Trump's Journey, Bloo Kid, Age of Zombies, Mage Gauntlet, Minigore 2, but I can't and nobody even cares
The mobile market makes sure to drown these kinds of games under a sea of exploitative microtransactions and cash grabs with the names of real franchises.

>>6692270
Two pointless video game related boards have been added that nobody asked for while 6th genners have been asking for /v2k/ for how long now? Not to mention that they're not even containment boards, RPGs and phone games are still allowed to be discussed on other boards, /vmg/ would have been the perfect solution to the absurd amount of gacha spam on /vg/ that has ruined the board. What the shit? I don't get it.

>>6692665
>GBAfags don't have a place to celebrate their nostalgia
They do. They can discuss GBA on /v/ with the other modern consoles.

>>6692675
Nobody has ever asked for /v2k/ except for you. You post about it in every thread and it’s the most amusing, cope-tier bullshit. The mods are simply going to add gen 6 to this dead board because that’s the path of least resistance and they’re a profoundly lazy group. You’re just going to have to deal with it.
>inb4 never ever
:^) it’s already on the way

>>6692665
I’m talking full on RPGs that Japanese and Chinese people played on their mobile phones. There’s shitloads of them and they were really popular. You have to keep in mind the majority of them did not own a gaming device but did own phones. So they would mainly game on those phones. They aren’t just throw away games the pixel art is really nice in them and there was plenty of big budget titles.
>>6692628
I agree but don’t discount the fact that there’s lots of these old Java based mobile games that are full on regular games. Especially RPGs.
>>6692610
I’m not necessarily talking about that kind of thing. But I do think efforts should be made to preserving mobile games. They do matter and 30 years from now there’s going to be another really big gaming dark spot. We already have one for the mobile games made from the mid 90s to mid 2000s. And another one is being made by the smartphone generation of games. Big budget titles in mainline franchises are just unplayable.

>>6692706
i get there's legit offerings on mobile, considering they stood alongside handheld consoles in various countries like japan and korea, and then later basically took over handheld consoles in various places, and of course, i'm all for any kind of preservation effort
but man, at this point those games must be the 0.1%ers

>>6692731

>6th genners have been asking for /v2k/ for how long now?
Never. They'd just use this board when the time comes to slide the scale

>>6692706
The mobile market is a soulless cutthroat cashgrab race to the bottom. I gave you a list of games I can remember that were above and beyond and of course those are not the games those who were raised on mobile games care about. Good games are bound to fail on that market because the only way to profit and sustain continued development is by exploitative mechanics on top of repetitive gameplay made to loop every five minutes or less. Add that to the platforms planned obsolescence, software being made prematurely obsolete through fast update cycles in order to sell new hardware, and it's the mess we have. As the other anon said, I suspect these games are the 0.1 percent, mostly played by people that enjoyed these big complex games on console before adopting a phone.

7 years. 7 years of your shit we've been putting up with. This said, /v2k/ absolutely shouldn't happen, because those who would use it have not behaved maturely, and we should only reward good behavior.
If you can go a year without talking about gba, ps2, gamecube, or /v2k/, then maybe we can consider your requests.

>>6692780

>>6692731
Sorry about the retard shitting up a legitimate discussion. But I’d hate to agree but yeah those games are a serious minority. I still think even the shit tier cash grab mobile games deserve to be preserved however. But it’s too massive an undertaking to be done. There’s more mobile trash coming out now than games that have ever come out period. Anyone fancy a 300tb IOS 11 repository? Because it is in fact massive to cover the possible hardware. And that’s on IOS. Android is a monstrous undertaking. I don’t really know the solution and these games are hard to preserve. But they should be by someone. A site like Archive.org really needs some serious government funding so it can function as a digital library and archive.

>>6692779
It clearly will be at this point. You can deny it all you want, but it's going to happen

>>6692803

Yeah. A year after the board was invented, and due to the next generation of consoles coming out.
It's literally in the Sticky.

>>6692819
feels good

>>6692827
yes it does, i love seeing zoomers cry and beg for gen 6 when its NEVER going to happen. theyre more likely to stop shitting their pants instead of using the toilet before it happens!

>>6692814
gotta keep in mind when those systems were discontinued
dc: 2001
gcn: 2007
xbox: 2009
gba: 2010
ps2: 2013

yea... the dreamcast died before the 6th even fully began, seriously, it was dead months before the xbox or gamecube even came out

>>6692834
yeah this, zoomers just don't remember because they were still retard toddlers back then who didnt pay attention to the world around them. Nothing warms my cockles more than seeing angry beggars get what they deserve: nothing. Hah!

>>6692839
nice try beggar, maybe hiro will start a /vtard/ board for RETARDS who post about games that ARENT RETRO and dont belong on /vr/

it basically only existed during the 5th gen's best years, it also only ended up competing with 5th gen systems, due to it dying soon after the ps2 came out
it's not a 5th gen console, but it might as well have been in hindsight

>>6692805
Were discussing the legitimacy of that board and I’m arguing in favor of it. Mobile games don’t really fit with console games and are their own thing. A lot of people, myself included, may not like most mobile games. But tons of adults and teens and kids do. It’s perfectly fair for them to have a place to discuss it and there is lots of very legitimate mobile games. You may not like it but people will be nostalgic for Roblox and Fortnite 20 years from now.

>>6692874
yeah sure and the place to discuss them happens to not be on this board zoomzoom
>>>/vmg/

>>6692865
More or less, yes. It's the main business model for a lot of mobile games these days. You can download and play for free, but to get good units, you have to get them as random prizes. And sense the chances are usually extremely low, you're encouraged to buy more chances.

>>6692871
Yes. But good luck getting western countries to regulate that.

>>6692871
>isn't that literally just gambling?
Yes, that's why multiple countries banned or limited lootboxes (paid objects that have a chance of giving you something good but usually give you shit-tier stuff). There are a lot of children and manchildren that spend thousands of dollars trying to get a R A R E S-Tier 5 star character that most of the time is just a png image with shit stats.

>>6692880
holy shit, i was aware modern phone games were full of ads and stuff, but just straight up gambling? and kids play this shit?
i must be missing something here, there's no way people are okay with this
