Games really do age. In fact, newer games outclass older games in every way. Deus Ex 1 can only be enjoyed for its camp value, while Human Revolution offers an immersive world and a serious, compelling story. The Elder Scrolls is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed series ever made, but the only /vr/ games in the series were critical and commercial flops. LittleBigPlanet and the New Super Mario Bros. series are the greatest platformers ever made, building on the stengths of 90s platforming while ignoring their many, many faults.

With this constant march of progress, there's no need to play older games. /vr/ has no need to exist.

Hey /Vr,

Me and my wife were playing Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest on our Retron™ 5 the other day and she said it reminded her of games like Shovel Knight and UNDERTALE. She explained how graphics and gameplay were similar and we tried to define what retro is. For her it's style, for me it's age. I think the board should define retro once and for all in a non arbritary manner.

So now that the dust has settled, if we're going by age we should consider six gen retro. Dreamcast is already allowed so we should do the same for GBA and PS2. I mean it's all or nothing, some people would feel the PSX is not retro because it brought cutscenes to gaming, PS2 is no different, it's old enough and its games have already aged, otherwise they wouldn't remake them for modern consoles.

If we're going by style, then we should be able to talk about games like UNDERTALE here, because it's retro styled. I mean look at it on that CRT, it's how me and my wife play it. What do you think?

The vast majority of 5th gen games are unplayable shit because of low framerates, including Goldeneye, OoT, Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, and basically all popular 3D 5th gen games. 60fps is not a high framerate, it's the bare minimum acceptable. This is especially triggering because it's true.

I don't like really low framerates either but I never considered games like that unplayable.

I actually hate 60fps. I think it looks like unnatural garbage. It looks cheap, unprofessional, and childish.

I know I'm probably objectively wrong here, but I'm not even trying to trigger /vr/. That's actually how I feel.

Well, obvious, it's bare minimum acceptable, not good. You need at least 120fps before it starts looking good. But unlike 30fps, at least it looks like motion.

You stupid faggots accept the Dreamcast which was gen 6 but the rest are off-limits for bullshit reasons, btw the PS1 (NOT THE FUCKING PSX) had a dual-stick layout. I can say all of this in this thread because you'll all think I'm baiting.

Exactly. 24fps is garbage. "Film look" is a scam, and 48fps is an improvement but still not going far enough. Pretending 24fps is an artistic choice is laughable. The film industry is too cheap to upgrade and the audience is too dumb to notice.

Isn't a large part of the 60fps "soap opera" look mostly because of the shutter speed used, anyway?

"Soap opera" effect is mostly bullshit. If there's any truth to it it's the sharper motion revealing low quality sets/props/etc. It's the same argument as "SD porn is better than HD porn", which is also obviously wrong.

Shutter speed has nothing to do with frame rate. It's more related to lighting and exposure.

True, but claiming they have nothing to do with each other is an odd thing to say. I mean you can't really get more frames per second than your shutter speed per second, if I understand correctly. It wasn't really worth pointing out though, now that I think about it.
