How is this not retro? This board is like 6 years old, this had to have become vr gaming by now

I loved the AI fighter mode in this. My brother made a really good one named Duff-Man. The memory card got erased though and we lost him.

If we can discuss FIFA Soccer 2005, we can discuss this. Don't even TRY to argue with me on this.

>> No.5056316

let's be real here, no one would discuss this game even if it was retro

Until this board chooses to define what the "retro" in retro video games actually stands for nothing is going to change, and we're going to be stuck with the same arbitrary limit of 1999. This board needs to better define what it is about, because "old games" is too fucking vague and largely based on personal perspective (a perspective largely dominated by oldfags).

Sadly. I wish Virtua Fighter was bigger.

Would something like "15 years or older" work fine?

If a poll was taken I think there would be a pretty large support base for ps2/cube/xbox talk here. I didn't view them as retro when /vr/ first launched, but do now.

post on /v/ or make your own board, kids

Nearly everyone agrees that the "retro era" of gaming is the pre-HD TV era, in other words the 6th gen and earlier. Everything up through the PS2/GBA/Xbox/Gamecube should be on-topic here.

I actually play ps2 for nostalgia now, there's some titles like mgs3 that really show the unique but shitty and primitive textures it had, still blocky and pixely enough to have the charm of something old. It's basically ps1 but the sequel

Don't be a backseat moderator fag, you're not even talking about video games

Maybe, might need to study /v/ for a bit first though. One of the reasons for /vr/'s creation was to discuss games so old that they fell outside of the current cultural zeitgeist. This place exists for things that have zero traction at all on /v/, such as the PS2/GBA era that >>5056324 pointed out. There is nowhere for that generation to exist at the moment, the /v/ crowd is too young and crotchety faggots like >>5056327 don't want to admit that their console generation is not the only one that is old as shit now.

Seriously I don't understand what it is with the oldfags, either they hate the thought of sharing their retro safespace with a newer generation or they don't want someone shoving their perceived "Golden Era" off its pedestal (considering the amount of bitching I see on here about "modern gaming", I think it's the later).

We could at least have one thread dedicated to 6th gen stuff, it's not like it would get in the way of the usual "what's your favorite castlevania" and "sonic sucks" stuff.

vf4 was on naomi 2 which is just a better naomi which is just a dreamcast which is retro
