/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.3364683]

When will these be considered "retro", /vr/?

[Anonymous No.3364689]

Hopefully never.

Those consoles had shitty games, especially the PS2. Can you imagine coming onto /vr/ and seeing a bunch of talk on PS2 games? No fuckin' Zelda, no fuckin' Mario, just a bunch of topics on shitty PS2 games?

Man, that would officially be the death of this place lol.

[Anonymous No.3364690]

Never ever. Stop asking.

Nigga the only reason you know about the shit games is because they came out when everyone was on the internet ready to speak their minds

>>3364689
The GameCube had like three Zelda games (Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Four Swords Adventures).

[Anonymous No.3364705]

>>3364705

Whenever we get into a cross-dimensional portal and into a timeline where these consoles were released before the year 2000.

Gamecube should be retro its a god tier console

>dat melee tho

[Anonymous No.3364762]

In a few more years.

Oh, you mean on this board? Probably never. Because even if it's called "retro games" it's only for those released before the year 2000.

If someone got it in the future, we'd already be discussing them.

>No fuckin' Zelda, no fuckin' Mario

I'd be more worried that threads about the 3DO, Sega Saturn, Atari 2600 (rarely ever seen and when they do exist you always get some fuckwits shitposting) will never be seen again.

And what the fuck are you smoking dude? People talk about Nintendo crap like Mario and Zelda all the fucking time here and on /v/.

Also the Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2 aren't that bad. /vr/'s fear of anything past 6th gen is so ludicrously extreme to the point of self parody.

>shit talking the literal high watermark of videogames

[Anonymous No.3365159]

Considering that the DC was considered retro over two years ago, I see no reason why the GCN can't be retro now.

Those get talked about to death here anyways.

if only because sega is a dead

I just forgot to mention it. 5th gen isnt retro imo. it was just the start of modern games

If you think that "not making consoles anymore = ded" I guess. Otherwise it also shouldn't even be discussed by your logic.

>it was just the start of modern games
In what ways?

I consider having to parasitize on CA and chrischan to exist dead.

>In what ways?
It was the beginning of using discs and genuine 3d graphics. It completely revolutionized videogames and every succession has mostly just improved on what the 5th gen added and have made very little additions of their own. I think games today are really no different than games in in the late 90s other than they look better and are maybe more poorly designed.

Retro is irrelevant. That term is outmoded. It's archaic. Retro by definition is 15 years or older.

Crude 2D Gaming
-Magnavox Odyssey, Pong
This era was dominated by Table Tennis type games. This is the era where gaming is in it's infancy.

Early 2D Gaming
-Atari 2600, Colecovision, Intellivision, etc.
This era was dominated by early 2D Gaming. This is the era where gaming begins to evolve.

Polished 2D Gaming
-NES, Sega Master System, Atari 7800, etc.
This is the era where 2D gaming is perfected. The best games of all time are released for these systems, ported to these systems, and true multi-generation franchises are born as well as modern gaming iconography and modern characters.

Upgraded 2D Gaming, Crude 3D Gaming
-Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, etc.
This is the era where 2D Gaming is continually evolving. Bigger stories, longer games, better graphics, more colors. Very crude, rudimentary 3D begins mostly on the Genesis, but then on the SNES with the FX chip and SVP chip on the Genesis. Modern game design begins, but is limited due to the controllers at the time - (one of the quoted reasons Mario 64 was moved to the Nintendo 64)

Dying 2D Gaming, Early 3D Gaming
-Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, PlayStation
This is the era that 2D begins to die, and the era that arcade ports are starting to fade as arcades themselves die out.

We are introduced to modern gaming, 3D analog sticks, and fully exploitable multi-level, huge and massive worlds that could never have existed before. Games span multiple CDs and can take days to complete. Memory cards become standard as many games now take multiple days to complete.

Polished 3D Gaming
-Dreamcast, Xbox, GameCube, etc.
This is the era where modern gaming is expanded upon, with the advent of faster internet speeds and the Dreamcast popularizing internet out of the box. Everything is kept from the previous era, but polished and made to look better, flow better, and feel better, including physics and more powerful hardware.
