There is a lot of hypocrisy around here. If vr is still alive is because:

- Hardware threads, which are as related to vr as eceleb threads
- Generals: for some reason, they are allowed here. And half of them are to discuss newer games anyway.
- "What if the pass was different" threads.
- Mario/sonic/megaman shitposting tier threads. They never get removed for some reason.

>. Oh and the gameplay, same generic trash and continued nerfs of killstreaks. Think this was the first CoD to disable the console and rank up servers. Objectively and subjectively absolute garbage.
Yeah, you're pretty much insane. BO3's nerf to killstreaks was hugely important in massive demand from games. Keeping the gameplay the same is important for any annual series, so again, not really an argument.

>Opinion invalidated when you start talking about shit like CoD
Anybody who has that retarded of a mindset about CoD in general isn't worth listening to. CoD does what it sets out to do with a level of quality and polish that stands among the best game franchises in the industry. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it bad.

BO3 didn't remove any features. In fact, it added an entire new game mode to go along with Zombies called Dead Ops Arcade.
>Sticking up for DLC
Nothing wrong with DLC so long as it's not "cut content" type material. CoD DLC isn't cut content, it's new maps.
>Sticking up for fucking CoD
I'll stick up for any game that's actually good. Modern CoD's reputation i one of the most warped things I've ever seen. MW1 was god tier and heavily praised. MW2 followed it up and improved on it and got even more acclaim.

But then we move into a yearly release schedule and suddenly the games are BAD? No. they aren't bad. They're just repetitive and rarely grow or change. CoD hate specifically is one of the dumbest things you can do these days.

Hardware and software should both be restricted by a specific amount of years, so that as this board ages we get more things to discuss, but keep in line with the "retro" aspect of the board.

PIII used less power since Intel were ahead of AMD in nodes, but the Athlon's FPU kicked the shit out of the PIII. No game in 1999 used SSE as far as I know, so it was all FPU baby and the Athlon wins there.

>>4067713
Yes, a PIII could certainly win when SSE was used. Athlon didn't get it until a little later. Though SSE was much less useful when using a GPU with HW T&L. Not sure if Ultima IX supports HW T&L, but if it does then the Athlon might beat the PIII if both have a GeForce 256.

Though I have to give the P4 a little credit. Its SSE is so much faster than PIII SSE. There were a few later games like Medal of Honor Allied Assault (2002) which didn't use HW T&L but used SSE and P4s could actually rock the fuck out of PIII. There weren't many scenarios like that though. P4 was a mistake.

You're an idiot man. Like >>4068561 says it's way easier to go by hardware year and it makes little sense to ban a PS1 game released in 2000.

DreamCast is 6th Gen though, and it's allowed.

I'm an idiot? As >>4068109 said, fucking 3ds games can be discussed because remakes are allowed. New Dreamcast games made by indie shoitters are released yearly.

All this can be fucking talked about, but god forbid I mention a PS2 game. 3 day ban and a slap on the wrist for that shit.

Fuck you and fuck these arbitrary rules.

[Anonymous No.4068881]

>>4068879
You probably shouldn't be posting if you lack the mental capacity to see how a remake is different from another game.

You're cancer so ya.

[Anonymous No.4068883]

Deus Ex and Diablo 2 are technically not allowed according to the rules of the board, but they see discussion anyway so I guess the best answer to your question is a shrug, followed by "use some sense."

Honestly 5th gen shouldn't be allowed either. That's where the cancer of modern gaming started. 6th gen is just the same shit with more polygons.

Discounting homebrew shit, this is the answer to your question, OP.

[Anonymous No.4069661]

People let RCT2 (2002) slide because it's pretty much just RCT1 (1999) with more content and more streamlined features.

I can't think of anything else that gets enough of a pass to get entire threads dedicated to it. You can talk about newer consoles, later pc games and romhacks in passing but any time a thread gets made specifically on the subject of something made after 1999 it usually doesn't last long.

See i could agree more with 5th gen not being vr, but less with 5th being allowed and 6th not.

Yeah. And it's not even just that it's not specific. It's also simply wrong. "Retro" does not mean "old". It primarily means "taking on the style of something old" or some such. 4chan management is stupid.

This board uses the Japanese definition of retro.

[Anonymous No.4072015]

The reason you can't talk about PS2 games on /vr/ is because they were made up until fairly recently. The final PS2 game released was Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, released in November of 2013. So you'd be allowed to talk about a game that was made just 3 and a half years ago on a board about retro games.

So then you could say, "b-b-b-but we could set a cutoff date! Games made after a certain date wouldn't be allowed!" Well, how do you define the cutoff point between retro and non-retro PS2 games? No matter what date you choose, it's going to be arbitrary, and it's going to leave out some game you wanted to make a thread about down the line. That's just going to lead to people complaining about wanting to talk about a game that was released just one year later, and no progress will be made.

With the discussion of "only certain PS2 games with a certain cutoff point," threads would likely quickly devolve into policing the dates of each others' posted games. There would be an even greater lack of quality posting, and on top of that, it would edge out the already-niche topic of /vr/.

The bottom line is, how badly do you want /vr/ to have threads about "which Persona 4 girl has the stinkiest farts?"

That's how it works for Windows games. Seems only fair to expand it to PS1 games and the like.

Were allowed to talk about games made today as long as it's on /vr hardware. Wouldn't be much of a difference tBh fAm

Puyo Pop fever on Dreamcast. Released in 2005, way past retro, but it's on a retro console, so it counts as retro.

Or DC or new pinball or new Arcade

Nice. Probably older than you faggot. Fact of the matter is that your argument was shit. Can't talk about a 3yr old game on a 16 year old console but a DC homebrew that came out yesterday is A-ok. Your what's wrong with /vr and its refusal to evolve will someday kill this board.

[Anonymous No.4072148]

I honestly think we eventually need 3 video game boards:

>/vr/ - Retro Games
For 1st and 4th gen games.

>/vmc/ - Modern Classics
For 5th to 7th gen games

>/v/ - Video games
For general shitposting, meme of the month and if there is some room for it discussion about current gen games

This way we'd have a place to have discussion about all generations of video games hopefully leading to better to on-topic discussion on all 3 boards and without these useless daily threads about what should and shouldn't be allowed on /vr/ or other boards. The content of /vg/ probably should be integrated to their respective boards.

[Anonymous No.4072182]

>faggots bitching about the 3 generations not allowed to be discussed on /vr/
adding 6th gen (right now at least) would make this into /v/-lite. Let's wait until 10th gen until we start adding new consoles.

The word eventually was there for a reason. I think the same way as you do but I have to admit that at the moment PS2 era games are in a position where they generally are too old for /v/ to care about and too new to be talked about here. However what I don't get is why people who want to talk about them can't simply go to /vg/ and make 6th gen general there but instead come here to bitch and whine about how 6th gen should be allowed here? That would be reasonable solution to this "problem" that could be done right fucking now within the rules and boards we currently have.

There's a board without these arbitrary rules to discuss video games where people actually do regularly discuss PS2 games contrary to popular belief.

That could probably run UT2004 at low settings. I ran it on a 550mhz processor at 320x240 once. Once I post proof they will have to allow UT2004 as a retro game.

THPS3, Enemy Territory, Red Faction, and a few others will also run perfectly fine.

GunZ: The Duel would run. Is that retro now having came out in 2006?

Man that's some dumb shit. You're trying to say a XP game is retro because it can possibly run on old hardware?
