Not here. It doesn't matter what people outside /vr/ consider to be retro, only what people inside the board think.
The move to unban the Dreamcast was already dangerous, even if it ended up completely fine after the initial shitposting settled. Adding 6th Gen would cause a tidal wave of shitposting that lasts months at BEST, at worse it attracts undesirables to the board and shifts the board demographic to the point of altering board culture and driving away good, longtime posters.

There is not a set definition of "retro".

I can live with this, I feel like including PS2 would attract retards but somehow this seems better since it would encourage more hardware discussion, PC gaming as a mainstream thing took longer to really hit its stride than consoles after all and you can't really make many threads about games from that era on /v/ and expect replies.

It's all Nintendo kiddies fault, no one is asking for Xbox threads (despite the console being kind of related to the dreamcast and being a good emulation machine), and everybody can talk about PS2 on /v/ and literally any other place since the system was still being sold until 2014 I guess? and it is the most popular console of all time.

Every poster that talks about the /v2k/ talks mostly about handhelds because Nintendo managed to release 2 of them in like 4 years, even if it's 7th gen people would insist on it since it was released while the Gamecube was still going and it would probably get accepted eventually.

Don't forget that, since the Wii is pretty much a Gamecube with widescreen support, also emulates a lot of things and shares a lot library with the PS2, they would likely try to talk about that one too, and that's why a /v2k/ board would not work, because it is really fucking redundant since /v/ still talks about games from the Wii/PS3/360 era all the time

The reason is that most people here aren't interested in making the board a fucking sliding scale just to appease you, you fucking dip. This board is not "things /v/ can't talk about," this is a board for discussing games released on consoles from 1999 and earlier (using the game release in the case of PC and arcade due to the lack of easily-definable generations). The majority of people here do not want to change this because we are content with the current environment. If you're not content with the environment, I'm pretty sure 8ch's /vr/ allows games made up to 2005, though I haven't checked in a while because I don't really browse that site.

The entire and ONLY reason /vr/ was created was so that people could discuss gaming related subjects that were too old to get replies on /v/. At the time that meant "anything before PS2". Now that means "anything up through and including the entire 6th generation". You and everyone else knows that's the case. 6th gen NEEDS to be included because there's nowhere else to discuss it.

>> No.4684008

>>4683995
7th gen won't ever need to be added for 2 reasons:

1. 4chan won't exist by then and you know it.

2. "Retro" means "CRT TV era". Unless new types of TVs start being used everything from 7th gen and up will remain compatible with modern TVs, which means it will remain accessible to /v/ aged gamers and will continue to be discussed on that board.

>> No.4684009

>>4683990

Send an email to 4chans admin, you won't solve anything shitposting here.
Anyway, people have been asking for /v2k/, rather than 6th gen included. And it makes sense.
Consider the following: if 6th gen is allowed here, first and foremost, just imagine the shitposting. Just stop a second, and imagine that shitposting. Holy shit.
Second, it'll open the gates for kids who spent their childhood playing 7th gen (7th gen started over a decade go) to start demanding 7th gen to be retro too. It'll be a never ending cycle.
the best possible solution is /v2k/.
/vr/ will remain as the classic/pre-2000 board, /v2k/ is every generation from 2000 onwards that isn't current.

I don't care why it was created. /tg/ was created just to contain 40k and it flourished into its own board with its own culture. Then mods said "okay we need to move all these quests from other boards, especially /a/, to /tg/" and fucked everything up. Even after all quests got banned from /tg/ and moved to their own board the damage was done. I don't want this to happen to /vr/, and I'm going to be vocally against it to try and help prevent it from happening as long as I can. The fact that you're already pushing for 7th Gen to become allowed on /vr/ in the future tells me you don't give a shit about the people who already use the board. /vr/ would just turn into /v/ 2.0 if you got your way.

As to the "1999 is arbitrary" comments, it totally is! And I'm okay with it being arbitrary. It was a date the board settled into after a short period of time at its creation, and it's worked great. Don't fix what isn't broke.

Arcade exclusive would actually make sense for a plethora of reasons, from the discussion of the hardware itself to the DIY aspects of it, the fact tourneys are still held and the fact IT'S STILL ALIVE.

But an entire board dedicated to games that were later ported to Xbox(Dreamcast) or where the discussion is pretty much dead.

The gameboy advance was released in 2001. It's library is full of older ports and even has backwards compatibility with the GB/C. It's unfortunate that it doesnt make the cutoff date for the board, however, most consoles before it were still getting games after the advance was out. If you want to sperg about the cutoff date so bad, we should also enforce a rule that prohibits the games that came out after 1999. Unfortunately for you, this still means that dreamcast is technically safe.

So what about the Wii then? It still only outputs at 480i/p. Cutting off solely for resolution is pretty silly. You could even include the 3ds in your senario...
My point is, that the retro discussion should not be based off of graphics, or generation. It should be about discussing older titles and even ports and later games in the series from newer generation. Ex. how the crash remaster fairs against the originals, which version of the namco museum is definitive, etc. I think the rules as they are now make sense, however, the whole "discussion of sub '99 games/consoles" makes it unclear about when we can discuss good ports on newer platforms. We had the switch punch out thread that quickly turned into a bunch of people crying how it wasn't retro enough. There really is no way to please everybody, so we can only hope that janitors go easy on us when we do decide to talk about any new releases. Re-releases or sequels to older titles. I'm curious to see how /vr/ handles the new toejam and earl game (if it ever releases)

We already have threads that discuss the emulation capabilities of new consoles though. It doesn't mean we're discussing the new games that came out for it. It's really only partially allowed here. The issue with GBA is that we can't have the same kind of discussions about the ports that came for it later. It's so close to the cutoff date that the board throws a hissy fit when anybody tries to talk about it. Similar to why the OG xbox anon gets shit on every time he mentions emulating on it.

What are you talking about?

You can get a 6th gen thread easily on /v/, because a majority of the users there are still in their late teens/early 20's which is when 6th gen was their childhood to an extent. You can post about a PS2 thread and it'll get responses and that's all you need.

The real reason you want it is because /v/ is a shit board, and you just want to move your vidya discussion to another board and in doing so you'll just bring all the shitposters from that board to this one. It'll bring /vr/ down more and more.

5th gen is just barely retro.

>> No.4685989

"Retro" should just be determined by the age of the game and not have anything to do with hardware release dates. If we go with "20+ years old game", we can add Y2K games in 2020. When the rule was made, it covered 15+ years old. I think going with a steady "X+ years old" rule will keep a self-regulated age limited that doesn't need to be updated, and whiners can just wait until the next year when it gets covered automatically.

This is better, because talking about Windows games is made as an obtuse exception. Windows is "current gen", but because of the arbitrary, "stagnate at 1999 for years and not do shit about it like lazy faggots" seems to be the end-all, be-all of this board's retarded moderators.

Everyone talking "6th gen this" & "7th gen that" are just tools of this idiotic system. Pokemon Mini is primitive, retro shit whether you tards like it or not.

I will agree that it'd be better for the Dreamcast to be booted off than to allow the PS2, though. As is, however, the Dreamcast died a lot sooner than the PS2 and their games libraries are completely different in terms of years. The Dreamcast died in 2001 and pretty much stopped getting any and all games after that point. There are still some homebrew releases but those don't count because even the NES and Atari 2600 are getting homebrew, it basically got zero games after like '03. When you talk about the Dreamcast on this board, you're talking about a console from 1998-2003, which really isn't any different than talking about the N64 (last game was released in 2002, after the Dreamcast's death) or the PS1 (last game was released in 2004 in Japan and NA, 2005 in Europe). The PS1 outlived the Dreamcast. MEANWHILE, the last PS2 game released was Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, released in late 2013. There is an entire goddamn decade of games that would suddenly be allowed if you added PS2 to /vr/ compared to Dreamcast. Surely you can see how huge a difference that is.
