PS2 turns 19 today. Is it retro yet?

[Anonymous No.5972531]

The Sega Dreamcast was 14 years old when this board was created and it is considered retro and now the PS2 is 19 years old. Is there any /vr/oom in our hearts to let in our old friend, the PS2?

No
Fuck off

Does it still do 1080i on Gran Turismo 4? Dear me, that doesn't feel very retro at all, I'm afraid.

I'd love it if the sixth generation got it's own board called Semi-Retro Games. And then in eight years or so we'd move it up to sixth and seventh.

[Anonymous No.5972556]

Just a reminder that 1080i became popular and recommended for British TV around 95 (Recommendation ITU-R BT.709-2, 10/95). At least try to make a valid point you underage autist.

Id be okay with 25y limit to begin calling it retro. We can't talk about scanline filters and the BUILD engine forever, you know

It can turn 100 years old and it won't fit. That's not the purpose of this board. It's not X age it's before X year.

The only reason not to call ps2 retro is a subjective feeling that games on ps2 are somehow more "modern". No, they are not. Let's ban fucking ape escape and alien resurrection for psx because they have modern controls and feel like new games, they should not be discussed on retro board.

Did you mean to send this as a text message to your other 15 year old friend?

[Anonymous No.5972579]

>>5972569

Yeah, except what I said was not even first 5 years it existed. You don't really remember the 90s or you were too young to understand technical shit. Otherwise you would remember people going batshit over hdtv since beginning of the 90s.

>obscure thing in tiny shit country that effectively applied to .0000000001% of the world for the first 5 years it existed

Yeah, still does not make it not retro. Stop tailoring arguments to fit your beliefs. Hdtv is around since 1989 for consumers and easily since 70s in development which basically makes it retro by this board's rules.

If PS2 did end up being allowed here, what games would you guys be okay with talking about?

Wrong.

News flash: 6th gen will never be allowed here.

Ridge Racer V and the first Max Payne game pretty much sums up "new" things I'd like to talk in /vr/. It's funny to think that every single Doom thread would die because of Doom 3, Goldeneye threads would die because of Halo shitposting and Resident Evil discussion would implode due to Resident Evil 4 and yet 6thgen kiddos are adamant about wishing to bring this cancer here. Not even hating on some of those games, RE4 is one of my favourite games but I know you faggots can't behave properly here and it's better to keep you out before you shit the whole place

Can’t wait for PlayStation 2 to be included on /vr/! Get ready for some much needed improvements around here. It’s gonna be great!

[Anonymous No.5972631]

Despite the literal definition of retro being old, retro in terms of the board more describes a specific era of video games. PS2 will never belong here

REEEEE NOOOOO MY SAFE SPACE BASED ON THE AGE OF VIDYA CAN'T CHANGE IT ALWAYS NEEDS TO BE PRE 1999 HARDWARE .... except when the hardware is running pre 1999 software.... and when the pre 1999 hardware is running post 1999 software.... because reasons.

/vr/ doesn't mean retro video games. It means safe space for autism and repetitive discussion that has not changed since DC was added. The rest of the internet knows 6th gen is retro, too bad nu-moot hasn't change anything on 4chan for the better in ages.

Do NOT poison this board with more playstation crap. Thank you.

Honestly, the rest of the board would be eclipsed. You can still get replies on /v/ for 6th gen games fairly easy and having them here would be pointless. Even if I agree with you that 6th gen is retro.

>>5972642
Dreamcast was fine because a lot of people never had one and doesn't bring that baggage of eclipsing everything else with it. Plus, it was more like the 5th gen than the 6th. If anything from the 6th would ever be allowed, we should allow GBA since that might as well have been a handheld SNES. But that'd just make the slope even more slippery than it already is with Dreamcast so fuck it.

[Anonymous No.5972654]

It is but this board is fucking terrible and thinks arcade games aren't retro

[Anonymous No.5972656]

wait, did they actually make cod 5 for the ps2?

[Anonymous No.5972657]

The Dreamcast is retro because it was dead by 2002. None of the other 6th gen consoles were kill before 2008

One for first through 5th gen

even though hardware gets older, ps2 does not have retro games.
