Apparently, let's ignore that kids will likely have nostalgia for current gen, or that some people have a shit ton of nostalgia for PS1/N64/Saturn/DOS or whatever, oh no, just because they aren't exactly like the games of previous gens they don't count.

Heck, i think the PS1 IS older than the SNES was when i got into retro gaming and some people still have trouble accepting it as retro, let alone anything after 2000, i have met college graduates that grew up with the PS2 or a GBA, but i doubt those will be considered retro to most retro gamers anytime soon.

Perhaps because your frame of reference for 'modern' is still 2008 Xbox 360 Halo 3. Actual modern today games are Fortnite and Rocket League. Halo 3 is old. PS2 is retro.

Even the way people perceive these games is warped, with trailers, images, and game covers sticking in people's minds. Something like Halo 3 conveys a message of modern and recent, but if you actually go and play the game itself, on an actual console, or any other 360 and PS3 game, you will realise you're playing a decade-old game on more than decade-old hardware. PS2 in comparison to a modern 2019 game looks ancient, played on actual hardware 480i and all.

Well /v/ doesn't really count as a video game board at this point, It's more of entertainment video game news with some game discussion and playing hidden in the weeds. /vg/ is getting close to being half the generals being about some gacha games with some of them being zombie generals like KS general, and /vp/ is just a containment board. I think if /v/ was better and people were actually more interested in playing and discussing games than shitposting about whatever offends them or whatever they want to fail then /vr/ wouldn't have so much pressure to have Gamecube threads and such.

I think this worry over PS2, XBox and GameCube threads comes from an entry-level understanding of sixth gen games, one that's limited to the extremely popular stuff like Call of Duty, Halo, etc. People seem to forget that these consoles were among the last times developers would still take risks on weird ideas and experimental gameplay concepts. Some examples that come to mind are
>Katamari Damacy
>Killer 7
>Amplitude
>Jet Set Radio (the original and Future)
>Chulip
>Magic Pengel and its sequel Graffiti Kingdom
>Stretch Panic
>Cubivore
>Chibi-Robo

yep, everyone says they like ps1 and Saturn because of all the weird experimental games but the ps2 was also a goldmine of weird experimental games, that tradition continued into gen 6. Hell even gen 7 with games like mirrors edge. I mean a first person parkour game? Nobody has done it since.

blame pokemon and smash and fgo fags for that. /vp/ is because pokemon autismos are basically just bronies, so bad they needed their very own containment board. And /vg/ because without it /v/ would be 99% smash meta threads and mobage gacha threads.

Which now that I am thinking of it /v/ is already loaded with those threads anyway so having alternate boards didn’t do anything to solve the problem. And whenever I ask why they don’t go back to their containment boards they always say because they are too toxic and unpleasant to use.

Fucking lol smash and mobage gacha fags are so bad they don’t even want to be around eachother kek.

/v/ technically encompasses all video games ever made and look at that place. Whether there are experimental gems doesn't change that if this board opened up to 6th gen, it would fill with a deluge of bait threads about the entry level games. Ready for "baby's first FPS" Halo threads on /vr/? Yeah no, fuck that. The quality of this board has already fallen some increments ever since more pot-kettle-black zoomer flaggers have piled in and incidentally more and more people have been trolling about the 6th gen.

For me, we should do away with the "retro" moniker and just devote this board to pre-HD/digital videogaming. In effect being a board dedicated to games that ran on hardware with analogue video output since that is what most threads are about. We should be renamed "Analogue Video Gaming" and use the board abbreviation /anal/

honestly 6th gen should just get a general. Kind of like how the automotive board has a motorcycle general because motorcycles don’t warrant their own board but car fags are too ocd and autistic to ignore or just filter motorcycle threads so instead they just made a general and made everyone happy.

Making a general really would shut everyone the hell up, it already proved to work on automotive.

Personally I think 20 is a good amount of time, but 18 has a nice synchronicity with the rules. Once the game would be old enough to post here, it can be talked about.

For one the console rule just doesn't make sense. We can talk about Dreamcast games that are pretty much the same as their PS2 counterparts because of when the system came out, but not a GBA game released a year or more earlier.

And second as mentioned it would both keep all discussion to old games but also allow for regular new things that can be discussed. Regardless of how you feel about what should be considered retro I think we can all agree that this place has grown both stale and more vitriolic. I would also hope we're all on the same page that what we really want is more discussion about old games.

I don't entirely agree, but you got a point in that it was the generation that felt and looked dramatically different than the previous generations, e.g., Castlevania SotN threads always look out of place. Not the best example, but I couldn't think of a good 3D example.

Gameboy is 4th gen and all 4th gen is allowed, just like now post-1999 games from 5th gen is allowed, dumbshit.
And Mario 64 is shit. It's forced 3d on a genre that is terrible with it (bad controls, horrible camera). Get over it, kid, your childhood games were shit. It'd be like me being under some sort of delusion that Atari 2600's ET was a fucking great game.

I 100% agree with this methodology, but I have to note that the transition between clunky "retro" games to smoother "modern" games happened midway through the sixth generation at different paces for different genres. Early generation games like Code Veronica or Medal of Honor Frontline feel like they fall in a transitionary area between the two.

"Retro" is a term similar to "antique" and "vintage". The years they represent are,

Retro: Anything that is both discontinued, not supported by the original company, & from a previous generation or fad that went in/out of style at one time. (Ex: your father's original PlayStation)
Estate: Anything previously used. (Ex: Wii U bought at a yardsale)
Vintage: 20 years old (Ex: Final Fantasy VIII)
Antique: 100 years old (Ex: "The Landlord's Game" aka Monopoly [pic])

The only people whining about wanting 6th gen to be retro are people who don't want to fucking discuss it on /v/ because that board is shit. But of course, if you do bring 6th gen here, all those people who attempted to have 6th gen discussion on /v/ would instead migrate to /vr/ and bring this board down even more.

The Dreamcast was different because the mods fucked up by having contradicting rules (no 6th gen, but 1999 and before is allowed) and had to concede that the Dreamcast was retro. If they said "5th gen and before" we would've never had this mess in the first place.

No - 1999 works for PC games, Arcade games and consoles. What they should do is drop generations. Drop this entire verbal diarrhea:

" With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not."

6th should be considered retro because it shared more similarity to the gens prior than differences. There were online play since 4th gen. There were 4+ player coop since the 3rd. It was the last gen with plug and play style of operation. It was the last hurrah for arena FPS, on-rails FPS, fighting games, beatemups, top down airship shooters, and RTS. DLC existed but they cost no money and were used as its original intent; as a bonus post game. Nearly all games required physical copy to play. It was the last of an era where both eastern and western devs tried to take something positive from each other as opposed to going their own way, flipping birds. I will be able to load in my copy of -insert any 6th gen game that I own- in 20 years just like I'd be able to with my Mega Drive or PC engine.

To me, the biggest difference between retro console games and modern ones are the forced online and all these fucking installation process. They successfully turned all games into rental services in modern market, and nobody really owns anything.

If you can't see that, your head is stuck up your ass. 6th gen IS retro for anywhere else on the internet but this specific fucking board.

There's more than one vintage.
A 90's Midway pinball table is retro. A 70's Chicago Coin pinball table is retro.
They are pretty different from one another because they're different vintages.

The same thing is true of video games whether a game is of a particular vintage or a modern retro aping of their style.

Maybe try reading the whole sentence and it wouldn't be confusing. I'll break it down for your tiny brain. The GBA isn't retro in the literal sense of the word, so it's clearly not retro in that contex. Then even though our rules don't reflect what the word retro means, GBA also doesn't fit so is not up for discussion.

Incidentally the actual deffinition of what "retro" means is also not up for discussion since it's meaning is well defined.

So to recap, you asked me to explain why word retro is well defined. After doing so, you saw there was a spelling error and wanted me then to explain that to you (conveniently ignoring the actual substance of what was being discussed). Then after explaining that I'm not putting a ton of energy into my replies to you your response was "just admit that you don't know" which is enough of a non sequitur I wonder if you are just pretending to be this stupid for trolling purposes. Now you claim you are being charitable lol.

Because you're still asking me to extrapolate how the definition explains the context when understanding the word should be pretty easy for anyone who isn't genuinely retarded. It's genuinely baffling that you need things like definitions of words laid out for you like this. How do you even function in the world?

>This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not.
What's the (note: the means only otherwise it's a) context here?

Yes, it certainly could if those were the rules. The name chosen for the board doesn't really matter, it's just a name. What matters is the board rules which are clearly defined.

It so happens that the name chosen for the board relates to something different than the board is set up to discuss but again that doesn't really matter. >>5978629

So yes, the board could be called "retro games" but the rules could say that the board is here only to discuss games starting with the letter "p".

Lol 0/10 reading comprehension again. I was explaining how they weren't mind readers and thus overestimated the mental capacity of some of the people who would show up here.

Real talk though, you should put more effort into trying to understand things yourself instead of asking to have everything explained in such excruciating detail. Assuming you're indeed over 18 and not certified mentally disabled, none of this should have been confusing to you.

My two cents:

The pinned post is dated to 2014. I couldn't say when /vr/ specifically splintered out of /v/, but in any case this board has been going for a while with a relatively unbudging definition of retro games. Well, in the space of 5 years, it stands to reason a board that, at the time considered 2000 and the Dreamcast it's cutoff could stand to bump up 5 years and start calling "NOT RETRO" on stuff past 2005 instead of 2000. This would make for more varied discussion by broadening things a little while not suddenly opening the floodgates to all sorts of stuff that doesn't need to be there. I mean come on, compare a cutting edge game from 2005 to what we have now in nearly 2020. I think that would be a decent rule of thumb to follow instead of this perpetual bickering between the gen5 purists and people wanting to talk about clunky early gen6. I sincerely doubt we'll see any change in the ratio of shit threads to gems.

The problem is just that most the video game boards are shit right now on 4chan. They need to split out gacha games onto their own board and probably just get rid of /vg/ entirely. There needs to be a video game news to where 80% of current /v/ could go. Since there are not many current good games to talk about, people could talk about PS2 and shit a lot more easily.

Opening up /vr/ will just turn it into another /v/. Mods need to fix /v/ first then worry about /vr/. It's really simple, too. Just ban all mobile IP ranges and all HTTP requests with a mobile browser header. That would instantly cut down on the majority of shitposting on the site and improve everything drastically since mods could at least enforce bans better and they amount of sockpuppet samefagging would go down. Everyone has a cell phone, but not everyone has a proxy (and they also ban a lot of known proxy IP ranges already).

Get Hiro to make /v2k/ and make the Wii U the newest console you're allowed to discuss. Much like the dreamcast, the wii u has more in common with the previous generation of consoles than the new one, not to mention that the 8th gen is the death of the single player game and the birth of these awful trends of lootboxes, microtransactions, and live service "games". 7th gen may have been bad but I'd rather have single player content locked behind dlc than a multiplayer only game (that has an "expiration date" no less, plus no private servers for pc) that not only costs full price but you also have to spend money for a chance of unlocking an advantage.

/vg/ creation predates Smash, FGO, and all that other faggotry it has become now. It was actually around the time of the shazbowl that the split happened. The argument was that generals pretty much took over the board, but to be fair all a general is really is just a saying "let's generally talk about X game, and keep it in the same thread." It didn't have copypasta OP with pastebins , thread counts, and structure they have now at first. Now since you can't just say on /v/ that you want to "generally talk about a video game" in the OP, you have to type some shitposting bait OP instead to get people to talk. Since it's hard to just generally talk about video games and baiting is the best way to get replies, it just encouraged all the sensationalized news posting that /v/ has become.

The 7th gen also had some odd titles here and there, but like you said they were more common the previous generation. Games like blue dragon, Infinite undiscovery, Enchanted arms, 3d dot heroes, morphx, cryostasis, disaster day of crisis, and others that I can't remember now felt like holdovers from 6th gen that couldn't be released in time, and like various 6th games, you won't see anything like them in the future. Plus licensed tie ins died with the 7th gen, they're all mobile games now and they're the epitome of soulless, cynical capitalism.

Since /v/ can't really be fixed without gookmoot losing money, I think it makes sense to keep it as a containment board and make something like /v2k/.

What experience in games/technology if any do you have? What console to start with will largely depend on if you can work with older sometimes finicky consoles and since games are usually console specific you would need a good game for your skill level. Plus consoles tend to be better at some genres over others so if you have gaming experience you can be directed to a console with the sort of games your into.

How so? It is the one that makes the most sense. From the PS2 generation and on, there has been a standarization in how videogames play. The fifth generation introduced 3D games and everything developers learned with the N64, Saturn and PlayStation they have applied to the sixth generation.

A game made for the Dreamcast, today, can no longer be considered retro. It is way too influenced by everything that came later. Even purposely making a shitty game to make it seem "retro" wouldn't make it retro.

So we got age of the game/system and gameplay mechanics/game design to make a game retro.

But what about using technological restrictions as a guiding line to define what is retro and what not?
If yes, then no matter how much of a retro feel a modern game has, if it is not possible on retro hardware, then it could not qualify as retro.

There is a minecraft homebrew port for the dreamcast. Is that retro?

Okay. Since we're talking about the board rules not the meaning of the word I will.
The rules for what fits don't describe anything about how a game looks, plays, what influenced it or what video output they have. All the rules lay out and care about is what system a game is on.

Pier Solar has later influences but can be played on Genesis so it fits the board rules. Dreamcast, being one of the "retro" systems follows the same rules as everything else. Thus any game made for it would be "retro" according to this board's rules. Even if someone made a Dreamcast clone of Fortnight or Flappy Bird, those would be "retro" in the sense that they would be within the rules here.

Exactly. Which is why I argue that the rules are retarded. A game being made for an older (pre-6th gen, Dreamcast being the exception) console does not make it "retro". It makes no sense whatsoever. On the other hand, it makes this arbitrary division between what's "retro" and what isn't absurd.

This is a very good observation and I'm surprised nobody pointed it out.
Marketing warps our perception of everything, including games. Hell, over-the-top commercials were a thing even back during the SNES days.
Games in general have more exposure nowadays because of the internet being more widespread, making it easier to inflate and overhype them.
When you forget about commercials, trailers, reviews, etc., the actual games nowadays do feel dated.
A PS2 game (especially early-mid 6th gen era) played on the original hardware on a CRT looks and feels nothing like a contemporary video game.
Hell, considering /vr/'s CRT fetishism, 6th gen in particular would be fitting, since they were the last console generation where CRTs were the norm.

I agree. Defining "retro" as "games that run on systems released before my arbitrary date" is a bad definition, as it includes homebrew titles that, as others ITT pointed out, are inevitably influenced by contemporary culture, therefore not making them truly "retro" in spirit: they don't actually reflect the timeframe they pretend to represent. It's no different than indie PC games which are deliberately made to look "retro" even though, while they may look like it, they feel not retro at all.
Just take Undertale for example: from a purely technical perspective, it could very well run on 4th, or even 3th gen console. Were it a homebrew NES title, it would be considered "retro" according to the previous definition, but it doesn't feel like it at all: shit like lesbian relationships and other inevitable recent cultural influences are simply not present in actual retro games.
Regardless of what zoomers posing as gen X oldfags believe, and regardless of what the rules say, the only definition of "retro games" that truly makes sense is much simpler, and more commonly accepted in most communities: old games, period.
To me, 6th gen definitely does feel retro and I'm all for including it, if not now, in the near future. I'd argue that the 6th generation wasn't much different than the 5th: it felt more like a natural evolution of the latter, without any unexpected development. You still had almost exclusively offline gaming, "insert-disc-and-play" ease, and no YouTube/Twitch faggotry. The 6th generation has a lot more in common with the 5th than most people would like to admit, just like the 5th has more in common with the 6th than kt has with the 4th. It was with the 7th generation that things really did change. But gen 6 mostly "stayed on track". It felt more like a gen 5 with better graphics rather than an entirely different thing just like I see gen 4 with respect to gen 3.
So yes, I believe gen 6 should be considered retro, if not now, in a few years at most.

No they are not. They have over 20 years more of potential influences and they are made in a widely different setting with widely different goals. They do not represent those actual time periods they claim to represent, at all, they are parroting them. They are literally no different than current indie PC games which try way too hard to be retro with pixel art. The only distinction you are making is the system they run on, which is, may I say, a fairly poor distinction.
The only way for a game to truly represent a certain era is for it to actually be released during that era. No game released nowadays can recreate that, no matter the hardware it runs on.
By accepting these as "retro games" you are effectively polluting actual retro games with alien material, which is what people complaining about gen 6 being considered "retro" do.
Like it or not, gen 6 represents a particular past age, early 2000s, which no other gen does. They may not be a product of your beloved 80s and 90s, but they are still an authentic cultural representation of a past era, which modern homebrew games simply aren't.

Zoom zoom like minecraft, minecraft made in 09, minecraft old and retro! We like minecraft we like minecraft!
>>5986926
Change 01 civic with 90s jdm as a whole and I would say no because 90s jdm fags are often zoomers or dudebros who grew up with fast and furious. This is the same thing with argument with 6th gen games. 6th gen and pre-6th gen gamers are just two very different demographics.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 2 17:03:19 2019 No.5986949 >>5974429 Maybe we should have retro tiers. /vr/ being anything from 2000 backwards and /vr2/ anything 15-20 years old. Simply add a new tier every 20 years or so.

>>	Anonymous Sun Nov 3 11:02:52 2019 No.5988816 >>5988802 Granted I haven't played it but from bits I've seen none of it looks that complex. Why couldn't the same game have been made to run on SNES hardware?

>>	Anonymous Sun Nov 3 11:03:33 2019 No.5988817 >>5988816 because of the tech it has under the hood

>>	Anonymous Sun Nov 3 11:08:06 2019 No.5988819 >>5988817 Well obviously the game as is has bloated code and is made to run on new hardware. I'm talking about the same game made for SNES hardware. What does it do that's so complex that the SNES couldn't have handled it?

>>	Anonymous Sun Nov 3 13:02:24 2019 No.5989021 >>5974429 >What determines if a game is retro or not is how the game plays and feels This means that several retro games come out every week. BRB, making a Shovel Knight thread on /vr/.
