Retro is currently Pong / Atari (Golden Age) to Saturn / PlayStation / N64 (Silver Age). An exception is made for Dreamcast because it was released during the 32 bit era and left the market so quickly.

Not really. Even a port on a newer console shouldn't allowed if it's on a console released after 1999.

No-one gave a fuck either until people figured out they could make threads about newer games under the pretense of "it's a port". There was a thread about some 2010 pacman remake on steam which people were defending because "pacman is retro, right?".

1. gba was released 2001, three years after dreamcast('98)
2. its sixth gen handheld
3. unlike dreamcast it didnt die quickly, it still got games way after DS came out(2008, DS came out in 2004)

For me "retro" is not a time period but more the aesthetic of those old games, I see the first Atari pixels, 8 bit, 16 bit and low polygon stuff like the N64 and PS1 as retro. More modern systems will never be "retro" Personally I wouldn't see the Dreamcast as retro but it slipped through because its date. Though the time still has a meaning but only in context, like a modern indie game made to look like this style would not be retro, but imitating retro.
Now since the GBA is like a better SNES but not close to an N64 and therefore looks not much different than emulating the SNES on a handheld I would see it fitting as retro.
People are worried that this would open Pandora's box though as it breaks the magical 2000- barrier and soon people come with "How about the PS2? etc.
After this definition that is pretty much no danger, the PS2 will NEVER be retro, its graphics will look dated but still modern and more realistic. I guess they will have to find a new word for these neo-retro systems in the future.

I wouldn't be surprised if a totally ontopic Super Mario World thread were reported by 20 people it too would get deleted.

It does run better, but you'll want to turn shadows off if you don't want lots of slowdown.

You can't do this in the port of Doom 2 but it makes up for it by being a very faithful port, as opposed to the first which cuts like 30-40% of the original content (it cuts the spidermind and cyberdemon, as well as their levels, the final level is replaced with E2M9)

When people talk about classical music nowadays, they still talk about Mozart or Beethoven. The Beatles or Elvis are not classical music even though an arbitrary amount of time has passed since they performed. That's because classical music isn't defined by how long ago it was composed, but rather by a certain underlying zeitgeist, conventions and philosophies that shaped music in a certain period.

It's exactly the same case with retro video games. When you ask "WHY DOESN'T /VR/ WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE ORIGINAL HALO? IT'S PRETTY OLD", you're doing the equivalent of barging in on a classical music club and asking why don't they want to talk about The Ramones even though it's been 40 years already.

Yeah, classical music is a genre. It's called classical music because it has it's own rules, it's not because it's supposed to be old. You're right about it. But retro is a relative term, it changes and evolves as time passes unlike your example. The retro of today wasn't retro 10 years ago, etc.

DC fag here.

We knew that people would complain about them not being allowed. Partially because they were allready complaining before the sticky was changed to allow the DC. But mainly because the actuall issue was that we wanted to either:
>A. remove the 1999 rule for consoles, and just have the cut off be 5th gen
>B. remove the 5th gen rule and have the cutoff be 1999
But unfortunately the mods did neither of those things, and now we still have the issue of contradictory rules that give gba/ps2/gamecube/whatever fags a foothold to shitpost. Even if that foothold is not a valid one, since the DC was the ONLY system to fall into that grey area.

Regardless, it wasn't that we said it would lead to them complaining, but that it wouldn't lead to them being allowed. Its been what, year and half, two years now? And guess what, they're not allowed yet, just as we predicted.

You mean the console with Gamecube style graphics and online connectivity that set forth pretty much every "next gen" convention is a GREY AREA? Give me a break. The only semi-valid reason for it to be retro is the port argument, which would be just as valid for something like the GBA.

A gen cutoff can't ever be the only criteria for retro in this board because of PC. I agree with >>2757461, the exclusion should roll over depending on the year, and it's absurd to think people are against this. We'll all have a dead board within years at worst and a board for hipsters who want to "discover (overhyped) retro games" at best, we're already both dying and being overrun with e-celeb/"I just started FFVII/CT what am I in for" style threads. That's what happens when you run out of things to talk about. Our board will just grow stagnant and die.

Progressively including years would allow us to talk about 2000 PC games (remember the Sims 1 thread where pepole would STILL go "NOT RETRO"?) which barely even work in modern PCs but are somehow considered modern, hip and forbidden for /vr/.

PC games are a special case. It was discussed in some depth in one of the previous troll threads. Treating it like a platform won't work because even PC games released today still use the same architectures as PC games from 20 years ago. Going by OS wouldn't work either, since if you tried hard enough you could probably at least get semi-modern games to run on the likes of Windows 98. Going by year works, but for simplicity it has to be the same year as the console cut-off, otherwise certain people would endlessly point out that "x game released on PC in 2002 is retro, but PS2 released in 2000 is not retro".

Actually, as the rules clearly state, this board is for the discussion of classic or retro games. Not televisions, actual games. Not like it matters anyway, the rules can always be changed. I think /vr/ is an ideal place to talk about GBA games too. Obviously there's not as much interest on the other video game boards for GBA games or really anything from that gen, they're way more concerned with newer games. This board is the of only board where the posters care enough to have any real discussion about it.

And seriously, anyone like you who defends the tv threads should really have no say in the matter. It's pure hypocrisy. I don't even mind the threads being here though. Know why? Even though they don't meet the strict criteria of the rules, they aren't really going to get the level of discussion they deserve on any other board, just like GBA. I could tell you to fuck off to /vg/ or even /g/ to talk about it, but unlike you I'm aware that there's not as much interest there. Also, I don't have autism, which helps.
