I think the 6th genners should take up shop in /vrpg/ as a protest. All they've managed to achieve here is pissing people off and making them way more resistant to the idea of allowing 6th gen on /vr/. Considering RPG games are allowed to be discussed outside /vrpg/ for some reason it makes their case for /v2k/ much more powerful since /vrpg/ is pointless and /v2k/ related discussion isn't allowed or wanted here and gets drowned out on /v/ and /vg/ which isn't a problem that RPG games have. Them getting their own board is the best of both worlds since they get to discuss their shit and /vr/ doesn't get flooded with GTA, Halo and Kingdom Hearts threads. If a fucking stupid and pointless board like /vrpg/ that has a subject that can be discussed outside the board is allowed to exist then /v2k/ has a pretty good chance of being created.

This could be mitigated on /v2k/ by forcing their own logic/rules on themselves by allowing 7th gen and further to be added as time passes. Soon they won't be able to post about 6th gen anymore since Gears, Halo, Uncharted, Last of U etc, threads drown their shit out and they finally understand why we were so opposed to having more gens added over time.

[Anonymous No.6676301]

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective.
Best case scenario is that /vrpg/ is just a trial board to eventually excise as much worthwhile discussion as possible from /v/, leaving them as containment for their precious fucking e-celebs and twitter drama threads. That'd solve the 2k issue just fine too, since there wouldn't be a need for them to try and fit in with /vr/ anymore.

[Anonymous No.6676303]

>>6676225
They're mad, but not because of what you're implying.
6th gen people want their stuff to be included on /vr/, they don't want /v2k/. One of their main arguments was that Hiroyuki didn't want more vidya boards. Now that vrpg was created, they lost that argument. /v2k/ is coming, and that's a good thing. Imagine how cleaner the traffic on /vr/ will be.

[Anonymous No.6676310]

>>6676283
They will be advocating for their own board, not trying to force their subject matter onto a board that doesn't want it, the /vrpg/ board is pointless yet /v2k/ has an excellent case for its creation thus giving great strength to their argument and /vrpg/ is new thus has tons of attention, the spotlight is placed very firmly on it, now is the time to strike. Nobody asked for /vrpg/ and it doesn't need to exist, there is tons of demand for /v2k/ and it doesn't exist.

That's exactly my point. Adding more and more gens over time eventually results in a situation where it's extremely crowded and you can't have any discussion of older gens because newer stuff is more popular. Adding 6th gen sets a precedent that results in 7th and above being added which will destroy previous gen discussion entirely. Anyone who thinks /vr/ is dead or slow should visit other chan websites aside from 4chan some time. /vr/ has a comfy pace to it, not to fast, not too slow.

Exactly. The definition of retro, (for both classic and 2k+) for the purposes of discussion should be set in stone instead of changing with the passage of time as some 6th genners advocate, which is an extremely short sighted approach that eventually destroys actual retro discussion and makes the existence of a retro board entirely pointless. Yes having that belief codified into the rules would allow discussion of 6th gen on /vr/ but it's a ticking time bomb that will culminate with only being able to talk about the most popular PS2 games without 404ing immediately and that discussion will be dominated by the more recent more modern gen entries in that series.

I absolutely do not want 6th gen discussion on /vr/ but I am very sympathetic to their cause, I am very aware of the fact that /v/ and /vg/ are way too fast for 6th gen to stay afloat, the creation of /v2k/ would solve every single problem that this situation has caused and leave everyone happy, it is the 100% ideal situation unless someone else has a better idea?

[Anonymous No.6676348]

In the short-term, the 6th generation should be permitted on /vr/, then down the line when we get to the point where the 7th generation is being seriously considered, we can revisit the idea of splitting /vr/ into /v2k/ at 2000 (or even between the 4th and 5th generations).

Their protests on /vr/ have been going on for over a year now and have only had the opposite effect, hardening the beliefs of this boards posters that 6th gen absolutely should not be allowed. They aren't pushing to have /vrpg/ be their new home but instead their own board, as a result though some /vrpg/ers may be mad initially they will be far more sympathetic and join them in advocating for their own board and the attention that this new board have will really propel the plight of 6th genners into the spotlight. Having a mass protest occur on the new board will ensure that Hiroyuki will see it and have to address it.

At the 1999/2000 border, everyone knew that this was an epoch change. You can't deny this. Everything before that point was immediately viewed as "old" and everything after immediately viewed as "new."
The same thing will happen in 3000, at which point it makes sense to add an additional /v2k/ board where people can talk about games from the current millennium.

It does. Emulation has always been a key indicator of retro gaming. It's not the whole story, but the PS1 is inextricably linked with emulation, while the PS2 is not.

You hold a simple date in too much reverence. Late 5th gen plays effectively the same as early 6th gen. The only real difference at that point was visuals and being able to fit more random shit on the screen.
The transition from 4th to 5th gen was far more impactful due to 3D, and if we where meant to have a "real" old game board, they should have cut it there. But they didn't, and the mention of "With the release of the 8th generation of consoles" implies that it will continue with the release of 9th gen consoles.

But hey, maybe it won't, and cutting it off and the special year rule will stick. It's up to the mods

You fail to realize that 6th gen stuff isn't allowed here because it would destroy the purpose of /vr/, which is to allow discussion of old stuff that otherwise would die in 5 minutes on /v/ and /vg/. PS2/GC/Xbox/GBA games are more popular than games of older gens (enough to survive in the sea of shit that is /v/, at least in my opinion) and would bury the older stuff just like on /v/. A /v2k/ board would solve the problem of 6th gen stuff being drowned in /v/, but it's unlikely that you'll get it any time soon, specially when the constant creation of meta threads only make people hate 6th gen fags and the failure of a /v2k/ general on /vg/ showed that they're less numerous than expected.

>>6679812
No. A mod likes RPG and created /vrpg/ as a way to discuss them without having to deal with /v/edditors. /vg/ and /vp/ are containment boards dedicated to keep unwanted stuff out of /v/, while /vr/ and /vrpg/ are sanctuary boards created to preserve discussion of topics that can't survive on /v/ due to its fast speed.

Let's assume 4chan decision makers actually have a plan and keep to a pattern.
Just for the moment assume this theory to be true.
Then consider:
Dreamcast was allowed mid 2014, half a year after the launch of the big 8th gen consoles.
It would follow that any other additions to the /vr/ discussion would be allowed in the year following the 9th gen console releases, yes?
Ergo, until least mid 2021 there is no point in discussing this.

No matter how many redditors you invite to vote
GBA will never be allowed
/v2kg/ sunk like a stone because it's only you, the turboautist, and a couple other losers plus gen 7 losers
Allowing the GBA means allowing the PS2
They are equally old and specs mean nothing
Allowing the PS2 means allowing GC and Xbox
Sooner or later gen 7 will want to be allowed too
It's not how old it is or how many ports of older games it received
It's a time capsule with a very definite end date that's not changing just because you are crying
Also I enjoy the idea that you are suffering and seething for such a small and irrelevant thing, you do a lot of shitposting and you deserve to never taste victory just like you will never taste sex.

Webster:
"relating to, reviving, or being the styles and especially the fashions of the past : fashionably nostalgic or old-fashioned "
The Free Dictionary:
"Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of an earlier time"

Dictionary.com:
"of or designating the style of an earlier time"

Oxford Languages via Google:
"imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past"

None of these refer to it as pre-2000 specifically. It is a shortening of "Retroactive" that came into popularity in the 70's in reference to things in the 50's, and has sense been used to refer to anything from around 20 years ago. In the 80's the 60's where retro. In the 90's, the 70's, 00's was 80's, 10's are 90's. You get the idea

Only the initial ruleset deemed the board for systems pre 00's, and the sticky uses "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." Which carries the implication that due to a generational release, the Dreamcast was allowed entry. However, because of the cutoff being the 00's, the later 6th gen consoles are not allowed discussion.

Only time and management will tell us definitively if this board was intended as a spesific time capsule, or literal "retro" standards. And as the 9th generation is just around the corner, that answer will come soon. Until then, all we can do is wait

Just because people say something over and over again doesn't mean its true. Retro only refers to one aesthetic of a period of time, it doesn't change. Black and white films without sound made when films were first starting to be made are retro films. The Benz Patent Motor Car, an example of an early car, is a retro car. Since video games aren't that old, and Gen 5 has more in common with previous gens than Gen 6 in terms of aesthetic, Gen 5 is the cut-off point, and no amount of age will change that. Cope, seethe, dilate, etc. etc.

It was a weird, waffling line by the mod but the dreamcast was dead by the time the actual gen 6 survivors were all on the market. And the dreamcast never had enough games to drown out unequivocally pre-gen 6 discussion, so allowing dreamcast threads has been harmless in itself; it doesn't make any other kind of /vr/ thread untenable. The same is not true of the "real" gen 6 consoles. A simple pre-2000 rule gets around that stupid sticky though I'm fine with GBA.

There is one poster responsible for like half the posts in this thread, and I really can't tell if he's false flagging or just in some weird manic state desperately starved for attention.

The 32 bit 16.78 MHz ARM7 processor of the GBA is a good deal more powerful than an SNES, so no. Still, I think the GBA is niche and harmless enough that I'm not against making a "handhelds before 2002" subclause.

The GBA Castlevania games get brought up constantly because it's way too awkward trying to avoid discussing them.

>>6686797
All we need are two simple rules and everyone has a place to discuss what they want without opening the floodgates to drown out slower threads:
>1. No consoles released after 1999.
>2. No handhelds release after 2001.
Up until the Switch, handhelds have generally been a full generation behind consoles in terms of technical specs, so their games are usually in line with the design sensibilities of the previous generation. It would be nice to have a place to discuss the GBA Fire Emblem games.

A thing is not more retro just because it has less processing power, that's absurd and the exact soulless argument 6th gen toddlers are bound to come up with.
You can't allow a handheld while at the same time ignoring other console that came out at the same time because their games were made at the same time and with the same zeitgeist.
The GBA outlived the Gamecube for fuck's sake, Nintendo positioned the DS as a "third pillar" and not a direct sucessor like the Wii.
Allowing GBA just because its games "look" more like retro games than PS2 games is the same as allowing discussion of modern indie games on /vr/ just because the devs used some 2D pixel art to mimic the classics.
You either accept the time frame the GBA was a part of or you don't
I do enjoy some 6th gen but as others pointed out we have a nice thing going at a nice pace on this board that allows many different niches to cohabit and it would be completely ruined.
Also 6th gen shitposters have proven themselves to be the most autistic and undesirable members of the board, I had some sympathy for the generation until seeing many threads become flooded with whining and antagonism. You think it will stop just because they got what they want? It'll only get worse as it always do when catering to this sort of people.

I think it might've just been a small number of people here. There were more on /v/ asking for a new board to focus on 6th gen stuff because they realized just forcing it onto /vr/ would ruin it too. Plenty of people on /v/ agreed that a new 6th gen board would be good, but there was still one autist who freaked out at anyone suggesting a new board for it and saying that it has to be allowed on /vr/ instead. But you shouldn't hold it against everyone because of that one autist.

A lot of my favorite games are 6th gen and I simply have no place here to actually talk about them, which is disappointing. /vrpg/ allows one of my favorite 6th gen games but it's still barely getting any traffic compared to /v/ and the threads always die so soon. I still like coming to /vr/ for some 4th-5th gen games and don't want it changed but still wish I had something for 6th gen.

>>6692610
I’m not necessarily talking about that kind of thing. But I do think efforts should be made to preserving mobile games. They do matter and 30 years from now there’s going to be another really big gaming dark spot. We already have one for the mobile games made from the mid 90s to mid 2000s. And another one is being made by the smartphone generation of games. Big budget titles in mainline franchises are just unplayable.

The mobile market is a soulless cutthroat cashgrab race to the bottom. I gave you a list of games I can remember that were above and beyond and of course those are not the games those who were raised on mobile games care about. Good games are bound to fail on that market because the only way to profit and sustain continued development is by exploitative mechanics on top of repetitive gameplay made to loop every five minutes or less. Add that to the platforms planned obsolescence, software being made prematurely obsolete through fast update cycles in order to sell new hardware, and it's the mess we have. As the other anon said, I suspect these games are the 0.1 percent, mostly played by people that enjoyed these big complex games on console before adopting a phone.

Sorry about the retard shitting up a legitimate discussion. But I’d hate to agree but yeah those games are a serious minority. I still think even the shit tier cash grab mobile games deserve to be preserved however. But it’s too massive an undertaking to be done. There’s more mobile trash coming out now than games that have ever come out period. Anyone fancy a 300tb IOS 11 repository? Because it is in fact massive to cover the possible hardware. And that’s on IOS. Android is a monstrous undertaking. I don’t really know the solution and these games are hard to preserve. But they should be by someone. A site like Archive.org really needs some serious government funding so it can function as a digital library and archive.

Most people don't know or don't care. Some people even accept it. I remember some dude saying he blew 5k on the fire emblem draws.

To be somewhat fair, there are probably less kids and more teens and young adults that are blowing big time money on this stuff. I imagine it also rides the coattails of stuff like magic and baseball cards where people accept that there's a risk to it. I personally find that a bad comparison, because unlike baseball or magic cards, you don't get an object of any value when you gamble on phone games.

My worry is this.
You bring gen 6 here it might drown out some of the good discussions we have had about older games because gen 6 was the period where videogames went from niche hobby gaining ground to full-blown normality. PS2 was one of the best selling consoles of all time, and for good reason. It had a DVD drive in it at the time when DVD players were expensive and the scale of games exploded in size. Even more so arguably than the disc based era since half of that was all redbook audio and full motion video, the games were very much in that older style until the 5th gen when 3D games became increasingly sophisticated.
It pretty much killed arcades off. Especially since these consoles had a very close parity to the hardware too. Meaning there were less and less home ports of games, especially with Sega folding. 3D RPGs and action games multiplied exponentially.
I lived this era and the one before and ive always seen them as very different things. The only thing both eras really shared was a portion of their ips and people excitedly reading magazines for news and reviews because most people were on dialup or crappy early broadband so it was still easier to grab a strategy guide or cheat book or look in the back of a magazine for tips.
That why 6th gen has never really fit in to /v/ especially since /v/ changes very fast. /v/ is focused on current events and current games. Anything 5 years old or more just struggles to last on there. A lot of slower and deeper discussions just get drowned out by shit posts. Its the reason /vr/ exists in the first place. And some topics of discussion are just too generic for vg.
Its been an awkward limbo for this gen and I've always felt it needed its own home is all though I'm happy for gen 6 have a chance here.
I just worry /vr/ will have less discussions about hardware restoration mods for old consoles, discussions about old source codes and design docs tidbits from I interviews and magazines and stuff.

It's why this board was doomed due to more vidya boards like /vrpg/ & /vmg/. More vidya boards means more mods and jannies will look over these boards more when /vr/ barely gets looked unless it's a NSFW/non-retro thread.

I still don't get why you do this, it reflects far worse on you than if you just left someone's posts unreplied to. But then, you can't help yourself can you?

I agree that mid-late 6th gen was rather different from 5th and earlier ones, but I still think it can't survive on its own on one board (/v2k/), and that /vr/ will suffer in the longterm from not merging. (you see a lot of repeated discussion topics and resident autists, like ITT) I don't think allowing 6th gen means 7th> needs to be allowed eventually, because the difference between those two is massive: HD screens, internet, game design, arcadey stuff being gone completely, etc. At most a /vhd/ board when 7th gen and beyond becomes novel, although I wouldn't vouch for it.

good image.
There are too many boards, I agree, and mods have been pandering to people instead of banning them or making deals with them (/trash/, /vmg/, etc), but you can only complain so much until it gets tiring. You and the people you're talking to are clearly oversocialized though, I can see why someone would b& you (hint: it probably has nothing to do with the images you're posting)

don't bother with him, he just can't cope with the imminent arrival of gen 6. anytime you see someone say '/v2k/' or rant about zoomers, it's him.

He wants you to believe he's not the only one advocating for PS2/GBA and that it's just one person who cares about whether you can post sfw images of girls from retro video games.

Think about how the janitor allowed a speedrunner e-celeb thread to hit bump limit with arguments over racial IQs but a fucking retro cuties thread was obliterated because of one guy posting the cunny meme.

And now this thread. What is the point of keeping it up? What are we supposed to accomplish here?

Instead of adding more gens to /vr/ we really just need to rename the board.

[Anonymous No.6693947]

Instead of making all these different video game boards, they should have just expanded /v/ to allow double the threads.

If your topic is obscure just keep bumping it.
Double threads would mean it will survive double the time
