I'd consider PS1-era to be the cut off for like, "old school" gaming, because PS2-era really does hold up really well, and actually looks and plays very similar to modern games. Where as the PS1 was quite a bit more archaic.

There was a rather large leap from the PS1 and N64 to the PS2 and GC you know? Lots of the design choices, control schemes and such are just standardized during this era. Its kind of hard to consider the PS2 era retro when a lot of the games are getting "HD-remakes" and are still holding up really well today.

In terms of this being a thinly vieled meta thread, I wouldn't mind if PS2/Xbox/GC and shit like GBA was allowed to be discussed here.

the PS1 is retro as fuck, everybody saying that it isn't is a moron. They probably say this because it uses CDs and has 3D graphics, both of which are still present today and not obsolete.

But heyyy ... these 32bit 3D graphics are so darn ugly today ... and the console came out in Japan over 20 years ago in the mid 90s. This also reflects in the artstyle of the games ... That's by far retro enough for me!

Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. 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.

Anonymous Mon Aug 3 09:32:53 2015 No.2585320

The real question is: will all consoles eventually become retro, or is there a set cut-off point for 'retro' games? Is 'retro' a specific style/era/level of technology? Or do all consoles become retro if enough time passes?

The Dreamcast is classed as retro here, so how long until the Gamecube is, too? It's mostly forgotten by the mainstream, but beloved by many for its small library of great classic games. It also uses non-standard proprietary media and it's something like fifteen years old now. Surely the Gamecube is the next home console to be called 'retro' if we define it as a time thing.

But if 'retro' is a style, a feel, a level of technology, then the Game Boy Advance is clearly retro already.

So which is it, /vr/?

PS-X (PlayStation Experimental) was an internal code name for the PlayStation during development.[8] The popular use of the "PSX" abbreviation outside Sony became a source of confusion when Sony Of Japan ignored Sony of America's decision and introduced its PSX digital video recorder in 2003.

You know, I searched all over for sources, but I haven't found any for this particular name. I just figured they put an X beside PS to help Sony internally distinguish SNES CD material from the final standalone console.

tome at least retro is everything that no longer fits the standards of modern fashion and trends,
in gaming it may apply to games and consoles wich hardware, graphics and gameplay wichdont fulfill the "modern standard" hence why the sixth generation consoles dont fit in the retro category as it was in this point where the modern standard was settled,(graphics gameplay and more importantly controllers finally had an standard button and joystick config), dreamcast doesnt count as it was discountnued early and its design and appeal was mroe akin to the 5th generation.

Yeah, or we get retards who say "we never called it that where I lived" like the internet or magazines didn't exist at the time and the world was limited to bumfuck Arkansas where they grew up in their small group of friends.

Everywhere online and in-print it was known by PSX or PlayStation. PS1 wasn't a thing until PS2 was announced and we got that cheaper 'PSone' model.

It was just the shorthand to go along with N64 which too was far more common than seeing people say or write out Nintendo 64.

Sometime I swear this place is filled with 15 year olds Wikipedia generation faggots who don't actually know how things were but read half an article about something and then pretend to have first hand knowledge.

Retro is relative.

I'm sure there were oldfags bitching on primitive messageboards in 1995 about how gaming was ruined forever, it was more focused on graphics than gameplay, etc.

There was like 3 magazines at best that referred to it as the PSX.

The idea is that, even still, no one called it that. It was playstation until people started calling it the ps1.

Arguing about what constitutes retro is moot. There is no set definition for what is and what isn't retro. As long as isn't a discussion solely about a game from the past 5 years, I'd say it's good to go. I might not want to talk about a game that's only 5 years old, but going into that thread and complaining about it such a waste of time. Few boards can actually have a discussion on the caliber this board can, so I'd prefer not to bring it down with pointless semantics.

Semantics have nothing to do with anything. It's just the rule that was laid down for this board:

http://www.4chan.org/rules#vr
>1. This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other games on platforms launched in 1999 or earlier. Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro.

One exception was made for the Dreamcast (6th gen, but before 2000): >>1392415

While I do understand that's the rules of the board, the point I'm trying to make is about people discussing the nature of what is and what isn't retro. I didn't make this thread but it's clear that even though the rules of board say games before 1999 are considered retro, that there are people who don't think they are.

I just see this issue of people arguing about what is and isn't retro all the time. It's gotta be the most discussed topic on the board. That and Final Fantasy 6.

There is more to speech than syllables, anon you know that.

Properly pronouncing PlayStation is far more involved than just saying PSX.

Saying hurrdurr is easy as fuck and only involves some slight tongue movement while saying something like Program requires you to move your entire mouth.

It was probably regional. At the college I was in at the time almost everyone called it a PSX. It could have just come down to which magazines were popular where.

>>2586756
This was absolutely happening, all time just like now. I remember very heated debates with people who insisted that Atari had been the pinnacle of gaming and the new systems had ruined it.

The arguments are always the same, all that changes is the names of the systems. I've always been on the very unpopular side of the equation in that I just plain love video games and think they're overall getting better and better all the time.

>the PS1 is retro as fuck, everybody saying that it isn't is a moron. They probably say this because it uses CDs and has 3D graphics, both of which are still present today and not obsolete.

Retro in latin means backwards. In other words, old. Sooo PS1 is an old console and it should be considered retro by now.
