/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7261120
And if compare your brain against a normal person's brain, we can clearly see that your brain is fucked up and has no place existing.
So fix it

Yeah also Star Fox and Doom both don't belong here neither look or play anything like Metroid its a disgrace to this board that we have been allowed to discuss them for so long

>>7261120
SNES retro? This is a board for pre-NES.

>>7261140
Boring attempt at being clever by a low IQ dullard.

Call of Duty 4 is retro. It goes by the current year. Its 2021 for gods sake. Get with the times.

These are the people calling your thread "not retro"

Ok, then explain how RE4 isn’t retro. If it’s so important to you that you had to make an entire thread about it because you’re so self conscious about your shitty opinion, then prove your point. If you don’t then you unwillingly admit to being a shitposting faggot thats just desperate for attention.

>>7261338
Explain to me how RE4 is retro without resorting to its age.

>>7261294

>>7261250
Do you play Atari 2600 ET exclusively? Be serious. Some Retro games are just not good.

Play Call of Duty 4 and you will whistle a different tune. Trust me.

>>7261294
I don't know what that is

>>7261338
Not retro

>>7261294
>fucking watermarking someone else's property

>>7261370
You must not have played Link to the Past. That big spider guy shows up nowhere.

>>7261346
Retard, it's retro now. Just because you don't want it to be doesn't make it true. Late 90s rock is now mutating into classic rock. 80s shit is basically oldies at this point. It's the passage of time. It moves on, whether you want it to or not.

>>7261120
What's so clear about Gran Turismo 3 that makes it not retro when compared to Gran Turismo 2?

>>7261361
>Play Call of Duty 4 and you will whistle a different tune. Trust me
What you niggers do not understand is that a fair percentage of people here like >=6th gen games, but do not want to discuss them here lest we dilute the discussion of < 6th gen games. This is not difficult to comprehend.

>>7261383
So you can't explain how it's retro without resorting to age. You cannot even articulate the basic concept. You have no idea what a retro game actually is. Go home kid, you're out of your element.

>>7261381
>he doesn't know what a romhack is

>>7261387
I read the rules when I joined 3 months ago and what I post is fair game. You are the one who needs to find another board.

>>7261397
What hack is he from?

>>7261346
Resident Evil 4 is a GameCube/PS2 game, which is from a generation not one, not two, but three generations ago. The consoles have been discontinued, as well as those copies of the game
>inb4 it’s ported to contemporary consoles
Then Super Metroid isn’t retro. By the way, it’s your job to make your point since you’re the one that made the actual thread. You can’t just start an entire thread based on your opinion, have people ask you to prove your point, and then say “no you”, as it outs you for being the major faggot you are. Go back to /v/ if you want to shitpost.

>>7261204
Btw Janny this image if from PCs CoD4. I should be allowed to post it. Read your own rules for gods sake.

>>7261120
>If we compare a retro game like pong against a non retro game like super metroid, we can clearly see that super metroid is not retro and has no place on this board

>>7261383
>the passage of time
If you can't see how Metroid differs from RE4, and how /vr/ and /v2k/ should be different boards then you are severely mentally challenged.

>>7261431
Nice try zoomer, but I can see right through you. You're not smart, and your life is a joke.

>>7261432

>>7261424
So what you're saying is that Metroid and RE4 are similar enough to put on the same board rather than /v2k/

>>7261381
Oh yeah, it appears if you reach the Chris Houllihan room and get to the Dark World without the Master Sword.

>>7261497
Whats the point? These games don’t play anything alike at all.

>>7261424

>>7261424
By this definition, 7th gen is also retro

>>7261120
>>7261432
>>7261497
What are you people waiting for to demand the removal of the 4th console gen from /vr/ ?
Clearly Atari and early NES games are the only genuine retro games based on your point of view.
/v90s/ when ?

>>7261624
Yes, 7th gen is retro, get used to it faggot

One more comparison.

>>7261634
Look, I get the need to classify older things as "retro", but at some point it does not make sense to blanket define everything as "retro". To make an analogy, there are reasons why the history of the Earths evolution is divided into periods (triassic, carboniferous, etc) rather than just one all-encompassing period. Having a board with a finite amount of active threads for an ever-increasing definition of "retro" is retarded.

>>7261497
what a sad and pathetic post.

>>7261497

>>7261642
Suit yourself and declare Pong, Asteroids, Space invaders and similar games from the 70s, the only games allowed to be called retro.
See how hypocrite you and your analogy are ??

>>7261663
>See how hypocrite you and your analogy are ??
No, not at all. An all-encompassing blanket term "retro" is completely retarded at this point and clearly insufficient. The point of the analogy was to demonstrate that we need subboards for the different eras. Are you retarded? How do you not understand that?

>>7261659
According to /vr/ rules Modern Warfare 1 is retro. Retro is what jannies set it to be or it's just Atari 2600 games or whatever you dorks want to argue it to be.

>>7261659

Dat voxel engine on top.

>>7261432
they both look like shit just different degrees of shit

>>7261405
7th gen is not retro by the current rules.

>>7261780
>Modern Warfare 1
>released in November 2007 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows

Not retro.

>>7261639
snes games arent really retro but theyre allowed as an edge case

>>7262000
n64 was retro when the 360 was out, and even more time has passed since the ps3 was relevant. ps3 is retro and if this place wasn't full of boomer corpses we would be posting about MGSV The Phantom Hand

>>7262025
Sorry zoom zoom
PS2 is retro
PS3 is not retro and will never be no matter how much you cry about it

>>7262025
>Phantom Hand
you mean Phantom Menace

>>7262032
I know that you don't want to believe you're old and will suck the life out of the youth just to maintain the fantasy of not being an old rotting corpse of a human being, but grandpa, PS3 is RETRO

>>7262032
where are the kids who are now adults who grew up with PS3 going to talk about PS3 games? There are kids born today that don't even know PS3 existed. They will never know about the long forgotten classics such as MGSV or GTAV if there isn't a platform to talk about these old games.

Any game that falls into the darkness of the past is retro and belongs here.

>>7262000
>>7261993
>released in November 2007
That meets the cut off.
>Not retro.
PC games are allowed to be discussed here.

>>7261497
Lol

>>7261562
to demonstrate how game design hasn't progressed in 16 years

>>7261497
RE4 is the exact same thing as a Fortnite, meaning that RE4 is not retro.

>>7262982
Or proving Fortnite is more retro than first thought. It's been out for several years now and I'd say in about 2 more years we can consider it retro. Same with Breath of the wild.

>>7261157
Star Fox is shit and the board would be better without it

>>7263048
That's the joke though and goes to prove how retarded the rules are now.

>>7262982

Biased boomers are the worst kind it seems...
Super Mario 64 is retro despite being miles ahead from Super Mario Bros. in terms of graphics and gameplay.

Since a gen that you don't like or/and didn't grew up with have been included, you people appeal to all sorts of retarded reasoning to keep your "biased old gaming hub" safe from those games. All translated to pure hypocrisy.
You guys are pathethic

>>7263221
>Super Mario 64 is retro despite being miles ahead from Super Mario Bros. in terms of graphics and gameplay.
It's not though. Some people actually prefer 2D Mario over 3D Mario and think the 2D gameplay is better. The graphics don't really mean shit either when gameplay is the primary concern.

>>7263249
>It's not though
I never saw a single soul here complaining that its not a retro like those topics calling ps2 games not retro.

I dont know why they allowed 6th gen here when /v/ has 6th gen threads everyday

>>7263249
Super Mario Bros is still the best Mario.

>>7263069
SF64 is one of the greats you nigger. Star Fox deserved better than to fade into obscurity due to Nintendo's incompetence. The least we can do is discuss its good games to keep the series alive in come capacity.

why did the retarded mods make the cutoff include 7th gen?

>>7263456

Rule 2
:)

Resident Evil 4 has tank controls, therefore it's retro. It plays nothing like a modern third person shooter.

>>7263570
Song of Horror also has tank controls and plays nothing like modern horror games, therefore it's retro

>>7263695
Yes

>>7261157
Star Fox was never good

>>7263421
wrong

>>7263878
Correct. It was never good because It started great, and then became terrible shortly after.

>>7261120
This. Same applies for Shenmue too.

>>7263467
Having a set date should have ended what was and was not retro yet Janny continues to delete my CoD4 posts in this thread.

Janny do your job correctly.

>>7263467
>why did the retarded mods make the cutoff include 7th gen?
They didn't.

>>7264381
Cod 4 never came out to the 6th gen consoles.

Did you read the sticked topic ?
"Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007."

The "those platform" are: PS2, NGC, XBOX and GBA.

>>7261120
I have the same feeling about most games that released late in that gen. They are so bleedingly close to the next gen that it just doesn't seem right.

>>7265156
It's on PC

>>7263695
Looks gorgeous, I wish other genres got that sort of attention to detail.

>>7265156
>Did you read the sticked topic ?
Did you?

>>7265163
Far out. Steam sale is over and I didn't grab this one.

>>7265162
Where It says games FROM PC released no later than dec 2007 ?
Also Cod 4 is clearly a next gen game when compared to any game from the 6th gen. The shadows, animations, sound, graphics, models, physics.... etc, all clearly a generation a jump (obviously reason why it never came to the 6th consoles, just like Assassin's Creed and Crysis).

>>7265163
>>7265279
Song of Horror is the best horror game I have played since the early 00s with REmake 1 and Silent Hill 2 and 3. If you liked fixed angle horror and finding items/solving puzzles in what feels like playing a ghost movie then I strongly recommend it. I paid full price for it and have 0 regrets. I adore it.

>>7265295
you hate to see it.
maybe this board needs better rules regarding what counts as a retro pc gaming platform.

>>7265437
Windows is a operating system, not a platform. PC is the platform.
Now grab the best PC hardware parts from 2001 and try to play Call of Duty 4. Good luck!

>>7265661
>Now grab the best PC hardware parts from 2001 and try to play Call of Duty 4. Good luck!
Lucks not needed. It is possible. Now take the loss and move on.

Are you a retarded person?

>>7261120
How about this. Retro 2.
5th gen is cutoff for retro. Now we're in retro 2.(still yea, to me not retro but ye)

to be h I love the ps2 and love games from the nes to that era and then haven't cared much since(now at all), but /v/ still talks about ps2 enough that it just feels redundant here, and also it's mostly bait so far.

>>7265931
>to be h

If we compare a retro game like Pong against a non retro game like SMB, we can clearly see that SMB is not retro and has no place on this board. Those NES zoomers should btfo

If LGR could get Doom 3 to work on a Voodoo 2, then Cod4 on 2001 hardware is more likely to work than you think.

>>7261437
Damn! You really showed me. Anyway
Retro is what jannies say is retro keep seething like an autist

>>7267602
You just said by yourself why those games aren't retro, cuz even by editing and removing all sorts of generation leap features and technical progress from the game engine, a engine that is clearly meant, intended and developed for the following generation, the game still remains practically unplayable (unless you are a masochist).

>>7267837
It's too bad literally nothing you said matters, because when someone comes to discuss games on this board, they're not going to ask themselves whether a game's generational features and technical achievements make it a valid point of discussion for a thread, but rather whether the game they're nostalgic for was released before 2008 on a platform released before 2002, as per the simple rules of the sticky. It's hardly bending these stupid rules to say PC COD4 is retro.

>>7261385
That is retro

>>7261424
we should just go by controller design

Retro should only apply to games controlled with 1 analog stick or less.

so Dreamcast, N64, SNES = retro,
PS2 = NOT RETRO
PS1 games with dualshock support = NoT ReTrO

>>7268370
Wii = retro
PS1 = not retro

>>7261120
If it was meant for a standard definition TV is retro.

PS2: retro
Dreamcast: retro
GameCube: retro

>>7261294
is that breath of the wild?

You're all fools. None of these games are retro. Retro games are those made in modern times that imitate the style of old shit. That's what retro means, whether you like it or not.

>>7269041
/vn/ - vintage

>>7269093
/ns/ - nostalgia

>>7269041
It's the act of playing an old game that's retro is I think why they chose the name but yeah, it's mostly lead to confusion and given rise to utterly retarded threads like this.

Of course we all know it's OP's goal just to ruin the board because it's not how he likes it and probably the reaction would be the same regardless what it was called.

>>7261120
Wow another tourist from /v/eddit barges in to make a thread for discussing non-retro games! Threads like these are truly a godsend!

>>7261120
I used to think the cutoff for retro was the type of connection the console used. If it was meant to connect to an older style CRT TV, then it's retro.
I think that makes the cutoff around the gamecube/ps2/xbox/dreamcast era.
But the Xbox 360 and PS3 came out in 2005 and 2006, and that's 14 and 15 years ago.
Time flies when you're gaming.

>>7270926
There are CRT with HDMI connections.

>>7261120
RE4 is ancient. It's like someone in the mid 90s with a PS1 talking about late 70s arcade games
