What is retro?

the sticky says any game made in 1999 and before is retro but that's also 6 years old now

the xbox 360 was released in November 2005, the ps2 was released in march 2000, the nintendo ds was released in November 2004

are these retro yet?

>> No.6629480

Yes.

I'd consider ps2 and original xbox pretty retro by now but I'm sure there are a too many pedantic assholes screaming about not retro to never make it happen.

PS2 Xbox and DS are NOT RETRO
what a dud of a thread

>> No.6629507

>sticky is already six years old and it's still not as old as the board
God.
And yes, I'm slowly starting to agree they're retro, some old them are older than "old" games people would talk about in 2010. You can bet your ass that the PS2 is older than some people on this very board.
But obviously what is reality has never mattered on 4chan or else people would be the way they are here, retro is what the rules state, exceptions are always made(like the Dreamcast, which is sixth gen), this site works by its own rules. So you just have to sit still before the inevitable update, whenever it happens.

>> No.6629508

Can we just call this board 20th Century Gaming instead, and include as a concession games released in the very early 21st century for 20th century consoles? And that's that. No more arguing about retro.

>> No.6629509

1999 is the cutoff date and it is _final_
PS2 et. al. will never EVER be retro.

>> No.6629513

We really do need another word instead of "retro" because too many people see it as a relativistic thing. It'd be crystal clear if we just specify we mean "early games", a fixed thing in history.

>> No.6629514

>>6629509
I don't know if they will never be retro but they shouldn't. One thing we can all agree on is these threads should either be a bannable offense or we should all just agree to ignore/report them and move on.

Yeah I agree. It's not about "things that are old", it's about a specific time frame.
I've been advocating for a /y2k/ board that focuses on anything from the 2000s, it would surely be quite popular with the nostalgia/zoomer crowd and you could talk about Halo 2 there.

What about newer games made in the retro style? Or new games made for old systems (NES, Dreamcast, PSP indie devs)?

>> No.6629536

>>6629532
So before the autist attempts to mislead you about this, the board rules suggest that the factor that qualifies something as retro is just the system that it runs on. So if a new game that came out this year runs on the sega system or the powerbase, it’d be considered retro. But something that merely resembles a retro game and doesn’t run on retro hardware would not be considered retro.

>> No.6629538

>>6629520
/v/ is about the most recent game that came out or is coming out that they're triggered by, so you get a hundred threads about The Last of Us 2's Abby being too muscular, Cyberpunk 2077 "pandering to SJWs", Tifa's boobs being too small in FFVIIr ("censored!"), etc etc.

Where's the bait, faggot? If you're talking about this part:
>people in their mid-to-late 20s and people in their 30s ARE boomers.
The consensus is that the boomer cutoff point is somewhere in 1993-1996. Someone born in 1996 is in their mid 20s. Unless you're going to pull out the "b-but baby boomers were born in like the '50s" line in which case you've lost the plot.

It's also impossible to have a reasonable conversation there anyway because all anyone wants to do is, again, shitpost. It's also infested with zoomers. I'd put the average age on /v/ at like 19, at best.
