Do you guys still think 5th gen games hold up Gameplay wise

I do also personally think the 5th Gen got the most unique games period even more so than 6th gen

Oh boy, another "games age" episode.

[Anonymous No.5758645]

Nope. Graphics and gameplay limits kill it. Psx is to 3d gaming what Atari 26000 was to 2d; unplayable tech demos.

A lot of great light gun games for ps1 if you have a CRT tv and a ps1 light gun.

Oh yeah, 6th gen had so many unique games. GTA 3, Vice City, Halo, list could go on...

>i don't know any game but the top 5 best selling ones in the american market

Anyway yes, there's plenty of amazing stuff to play from 5th gen, but in order to enjoy them you need to stop being a whiny dumb little faggot that can't tolerate anything outside of modern games with homogenised control systems and shiny graphics.
So don't even try.

It is quite something when you compare the best selling games from /vr/ era systems, to the best selling games from non-retro era systems.

5th gen was better because it was still getting 2D games, unlike 6th gen where they mostly died except for the GBA.

PS2 has a stronger library than any other console post-SNES, obviously you won’t find the interesting shit in Chad Thundercock’s library but it’s there if you look. I’m still partial to the SNES thoughp

[Anonymous No.5758809]

Ps 1 games are much more fun than ps2 games 6th gen games just feel so sterile and formulaic

[Anonymous No.5758848]

N64 games do. God knows why SEGA and Sony didn't even attempt a solution to 3D games and opted for a single D-pad.

PS2 library is absolute fucking garbage, even the all time legendary games on it like Shadow of the Colossus are absolute trash that would have been a 4/10 in 1996

t. "Oldfags" who refuses to acknowledge 6th gen is retro because that's when he became a cynical adult

Reminder that most retro communities didn't consider 5th gen retro for a long time.
>>5758794
Oh yes, who could forget top selling games like platformer, arcade port, fighting game, and JRPG.

[Anonymous No.5758962]

>>5758956
Lucky for us, the slim vocal minority of autistic literal boomers who refuse to acknowledge the objective fact that the 6th generation is retro will all be dead in a couple of years, thankfully. /vr/ belongs to the 6th generation master race and has for quite some time now.

The only people I've seen that had this opinion also hated the arcade stuff.

[Anonymous No.5758971]

>>5758956
You're the only cynical here. I can acknowledge 6th gen being old, but so what? Still released after the year 1999 except DC. DWI.
>>5758872
Just check the best selling titles from each generation and you'll see a change in 6th gen compared to previous generations.

it was a time of major innovation where lots of new types of games came out that would be copied in later gens. It was a time of experimenting and there wasn't as much pressure to sell millions of copies.

[Anonymous No.5762076]

>>5758504
Sure.

[Anonymous No.5762082]

Many obviously do but I will say that with exception of classic style 2D games pretty much every good game from the generation is crippled by the hardware in one way or another, sometimes severely so in the case of games that run at a low or inconsistent framerates (Jet Moto), have terrible cameras/controls that game design has to accommodate (MoH) or have to make massive sacrifices for performance (F-Zero X).

[Anonymous No.5762105]

Halo will never be retro, deal with it, and take your shitty generation full of 30fps and multiplat trash with you.

to be honest no, but the 6th generation of gaming almost looks the same as todays games. I remember playing SSX tricky and seeing how similar it is graphic wise to switch games

[Anonymous No.5762552]

>>5758865
lol this is you when someone brings up the superior PS2

[Anonymous No.5762554]

>>5758956
It's simply because 6th generation was when consoles started selling in the hundreds of millions, when adults started buying consoles for themselves, there's nothing niche about a PS2 as everyone had one. That means it's normie, and 4chan is about being secretly better than people for liking pop culture.

It's a lie that DC is allowed because >1999 rule (because most games got released after 1999), it's that few people had or remember the DC when compared to PS2, Xbox and GameCube. Therefore it's like a secret gem that normies were too fucking dumb to appreciate then and especially now.

>Switch graphics aren't any better than PS2
They are though. Resolution alone is a huge improvement.

[Anonymous No.5762564]

>>5762558
Not really.. Modern systems are stronger but the graphics haven't progressed that much

>Look! No progress between the GC and 3DS!
Wow, what a retarded point to make.

[Anonymous No.5762581]

There is hundreds of examples I can show you. So the 3DS isnt stronger than the gamecube? Seems like you are the tard.

Peach in 2017.

Game graphics havent changed much since then. You are a fucking blind idiot if you cant see that. Get a clue

[Anonymous No.5762598]

>>5762596
Do you think I can't google them myself?
You're missing the point that we had high polygonal models sparingly used in cutscenes at 24fps in 2003 and now we can populate an entire super bowl stadium with those same cutscenes models and still maintain 60 fps.

[Anonymous No.5762615]

>>5762598
Nothing has changed. You think just because something is new its better. Like one user said, “If sega re-released the dreamcast as the dreamcast 2 gamers would be going around claiming it has the best graphics.” Gamers like you are worthless.

[Anonymous No.5762621]

>>5762581
Yeah except one is a console and the other is a handheld, if you compare the 3DS to the GBA like someone with a brain cell would, you'd see there has been a huge amount of progress.

[Anonymous No.5762635]

>>5762596
It's just the same art style, it's clearly obvious the 2017 Peach has much better modelling and rendering. You're probably one of those people who need games to be "HD rebooted" with a new art style to notice a difference.

Its 8th generation though. Fuck you are stupid.
