          It's because gaming has basically reached a standstill and shoving gimmicky technologies like RT and VR (which you need to buy $1000+ of hardware to enjoy) are all that differentiates this shit.
          In 1996 you would've been playing games like Mario 64, Resident Evil, Duke Nukem 3D, etc which is a massive leap over just 10 years prior when you would've had SMB, TLoZ, Bubble Bobble, etc.
          For modern day we have stuff like Dead Space Remake, LoU remake, yearly CoD, ass creed, etc. 10 years ago you had dead space, last of us, yearly CoD, ass creed, etc. Game design is fundamentally identical to games from a decade or two ago even to the point of 20 year old games straight up being remade and often being worse in some ways.

          The PS2 ironically looks more dated because it's playing with technology that has not yet been mastered and games are pretty fricking clearly held back by the limitations of the system. This is such a weird thing to agree with, it was so stupid I assumed everyone was ignoring it.

      The jump to 3D was really a significant mental breakpoint. The SNES felt “retro” by like 1999, whereas the N64 didn’t feel like that until the late 2000s, and arguably the GameCube and PS2 still don’t feel retro, since games on those systems still generally feel very playable

      Modern jeans are nothing like those jeans. Those jeans are tough and cheap. They were for the working class. The rich NEVER wore shit like that then. Modern jeans are the opposite. They have no durability but cost a fortune anyway so they're popular with the rich. Because they have no durability they have to come "pre-worn" for fashion purposes.

    Retro relates solely to visual fidelity. Polygon count jumped so high from PSX to PS2 that similar generational step in graphics is not posssible anymore. Zoomers will NEVER have anything becoming retro during their lifetime. There is no counterpoint to it, only salty zoomzoom revisionism.

        It literally is moron, retro can refer to style and design. Anon is right, there really is nothing that comes close in the difference of graphical fidelity in the past 20 years as compared to the jumps from Atari to SNES to N64 to Gamecube. Trying to pretend otherwise outs you as a wienersucking idiot who just looks at a calender date and not at the actual consoles or the videogames themselves.
        Basically the only people who would agree with you never actually played videogames throughout their history and have no place trying to categorize a subject they're uninformed about.

            You can tell me that the Prince of persia is 20 years old and point at a calender, but I'll look at the videogame and tell you that there's not that big a difference in fidelity, especially in the context of the evolution of the medium. The industry has stagnated and the term has far less meaning than it used to for this 20-year period. I'd be willing to give it to earlier titles like the Orphen SIon of Sorcery PS2 launch title. I don't give a shit if you point at a calender and disagree.

                Nothing like the difference between 2003 and 1983, or even 2003 and 1993. If you can't admit to yourself that the last 20 years have stagnated graphically due to diminishing returns of poly counts and publisher corner-cutting, you're the kind of moron who needs to speak the least on this topic. A few more points of reference from the best-selling vidya of 1993 and 2013 to fill those in-between gaps. You can point to a calender but that's not the same as pointing to a game. Things have advanced but not as much as you'll lie to yourself about to be able to claim gen 6 as retro with any actual meaning.

                1993, SF2 on SNES

                2013, GTA5 on 360

                Better than what you can dome up with, opie. Because after that it's "3D with increasing poly counts you don't notice anyway." With a side of on-disc DLC.
                Ironically the most retro thing about Gen 6 was the monitization. and the fact that your games were typically made to be complete when you bought them, without the expectation of day-1 patches to fix glaring launch issues that publishers cut corners on to make release windows, or the game being used as an advertisement to sell cosmetics that cost more than your base purchase to make the game feel less hollow.

                So in terms of monetization, I'll absolutely agree that Gen6 was retro.

      Yeah, I agree with your sentiment as we are already 20 years out from the last cycle as the XBoneX/PS5 is the mark of a whole new 20 year cycle. While these are just terms drawing lines in the sand. There is a pretty big shift in gaming from Gen 5 to Gen 6 that makes a clear distinction from one age to the next that will be debated for years to come.

    If retro is solely defined by how hold something is then the term is meaningless. Retro describes a style of a bygone era, which is why when you say "retro inspired shooter" nobody is thinking about Call of Duty 4, despite that game being older than fricking DOOM was when it released.

    To me it's very hard to describe a console that had Resident Evil 4 on it as retro, because that game is still the blueprint for the modern AAA singleplayer game in a lot of ways. PS2 is "retro'ish" and everything after that is modern. Because 7th gen is when "modern gaming" started.

        I consider Blade Runner an old film but not retro, because it still feels fresh as frick despite being 40 years old. Meanwhile something like Twilight feels way more retro to me because you look at it and just think "This is a 2000's as frick movie" so in my mind Twilight is more retro than Blade Runner.

It's first use was in clothing fashion when people specifically started wearing older clothes to oppose then current fashion trends.

        His argument is sound, IMO. Mainly in terms of graphical fidelity.

        Gens 7, 8, and 9 are all pretty much the same (i.e modern) whereas 6 and below are obviously from a “bygone era” as he put it. 6th gen barely qualifies as retro, and so it’s basically the absolute threshold of what is no longer “modern”. Anything after that can’t reasonably be considered retro.

        I doubt that most would be able to point out what made Fez such a big game or that Doom was already considered retro even in the Early 2010's. Retro was just more used as a term to outline the technical difference from 5th gen to 6th gen and onwards.

      When there's a paradigm shift that completely takes over and dates the previous thing. Like going from 2D to 3D.

      For example, say we live in a fantasy world where VR was a 100 times more successful than it actually is. Flat screen gaming would now be considered retro, because the zeitgeist has now moved beyond it. That didn't happen though so flat screen gaming isn't considered retro.

      So far the goalpost has only really moved from Dreamcast (1999) to including the other 6th gen consoles (2001). I wouldn't expect the needle of what's retro to move for quite a while, and when it does, it'll probably only move to 2004, so that the DS and PSP are considered retro.

    The graphical leap of each generation was significant until 7th gen happened. The difference in graphics from gens 7 to 8, and 8 to 9 aren’t nearly as mindblowing as they were before gen 7. That’s why 6 can be considered retro— it was the last generation to precede a truly significant graphical improvement.

  52. 1 year ago

    The PS2 is retro because the console is 23 years old and technology ages much faster than people do.
    The Nintendo Entertainment System is very old, Game & Watch is ancient and Pong is primeval.
    There's nothing right or wrong with being old, aging is universal, it happens to the best of us and it happens to the worst of us.
    Try not to kick up a storm over it, one day the PS2 will be a hundred years old, will you still refuse to call it retro then? No, you'll be too busy telling generation gamma to frick off when they call the PS5 old.

      The glitches aren't that bad. The problem is how they ruined the aesthetics and in some cases there's shit that's completely missing (the lighting engine for example). Thankfully it can be completely fixed on PC

      The reality is that "retro" doesn't mean "old" it means thematic style or design of the recent past.
      The real fact that you have to face is that games haven't significantly improved in the same time frame as they did before, leaving us with this sort of blurred lines where old things blend into new things with solidified industry standards.

      Take gears of war 1 and 5, they basically look exactly the same despite coming out 15 years apart. Only real theme you can tell here is that in the mid 2000s most games were brown where nowadays they're blue.

        But the paradigm the PS2 set is the one we still currently on. While I could meet in the middle that the PS2 was much more of a transitional period, a lot of the games in this era are still recognizable today and the IPS are still kicking around. Wether these IPs have gotten better or not is not exactly the point even if gaming overall has degraded a lot since then.

          How is IP relevancy indicative of what's retro or not? Does Mario Odyssey make Mario Bros.- Mario World retroactively not retro then? Face it, the PS2 has a library you could point out from gameplay alone, if not at least guess the gen/era said game belongs to.
          You have to be face blind if you can't tell a 7th and current gen game apart aside from indies that try to replicate said era.

            The style of Mario Odyssey in terms of design and game play is much closer to Mario Sunshine/Mario 64 than it is of Mario Bros. New Super Mario Bros is much more of a retro revival as it plays closer to Super Mario Bros. if we are trying to compare apple to apples.
            While there is a much larger and varied types of games in the PS2 library, it still set trajectory of gamin and the 7th gen cemented it in stone. At least we ditched 7th gen bloom. I don't need my screen smeared with brown poop as a filter.

    Please go and actually play some ps2 games, you'll find them very different because many things such as camera controls have not been standardized. Very few games had online multiplayer. Games were more experimental. Also, most games were linear but had a great attention to detail, in contrast to the wide as an ocean deep as a puddle open world slop that every game has aspired to be in the last decade. Just admit the only reason you don't want the ps2 to be retro is because you have gotten old and the present fricking sucks.

          Things become retro when they stop being the standard, the truth about 6th gen is that there's still a lot about it that can be seen in modern games. So it's not some black and white thing. That anon who compared cyberpunk to atompunk put it very succinctly. Atompunk feels retro because that view of the future is clearly very dated by now. While a lot about cyberpunk still feels relevant today.

      Yet many things were becoming standard. You'll get a weird camera here, some awkward 3D movement there. But the extent of this is somewhat warped by a lot of niche titles gaining relevance over time. More mainstream titles for the time really don't pose as many issues. RE4, GTA3/VC/SA, MG2/3, FFX/XI, etc might not be entirely in the mold of a modern games yet clearly show more modernity than their predecessors. They are games you could hand to someone now and they wouldn't have that PS1 3D jank moment.

      Its a question of if modernity is when every single principle has both arisen and been set in most games. Or when these principles have largely been realised and are slowly being implemented. If it is the former you can argue the 360 and PS3 still saw a fair amount of experimentation and non-standardisation.

        All of the paradigms from the cartridge loading to the rendering methods and style of games are outdated though.

    imo, gen 6 is the last retro gen now and forever not because of age, but because of the things that became the norm starting with/around gen 7. Gen 7 saw the widespread adoption of:

    >DLC and microtransactions
    >Consoles becoming multipurpose media centers where you make a public profile instead of primarily being about games
    >The "always online" model, subscriptions, and purely digital games vs physical copies
    >Mobile gaming with the advent of smartphones
    >Widescreen display becoming the standard
    >The rise of gamer/streamer culture with things like justintv and then Twitch

    I know a few of these things were beginning to show their heads in earlier generations with things like the ability to watch DVDs on PS2 or MLG in the early 2000s, but gen 7 was the point of no return imo

      Hypothetically, if the games industry made little to no tech or graphical changes or advances for the next 2 decades, would you consider a game made today that looked nearly identical to a game 20 years from now "retro" strictly because of passage of time? Because if so then I don't even know why you would use the word when it has stylistic connotations that you specifically don't account for and you could just say "20 years old." It would be like using the word "queer" to refer to strange things when it would just create confusion at this point.

          That's my point, people say not adhering strictly to the 20-year-old mark are time-obsessed because of pretending their childhood isn't old or some shit, but they seem like the time-obsessed ones who can't look at anything but a game's age and use that as their sole metric for a word that comes loaded with stylistic implications, specifically in this industry with "retro-inspired shooters" as a different anon posted. "Retro" is a term that is different from "two decades old," and treating the two as the same is stupid.

        What board are you posting on? The only time Oblivion is brought up is to point to when gaming died.

      You think there's a bit of a difference between the advancement from 1980->2000 and from 2000->2020? Or are you a moron?
      >that that that doesnt matter
      it does to people who aren't moronic

        There has absolutely been a major shift from 2000 to today. There are entire genres that are dead that were thriving even a decade ago. To say that there hasn’t been is to be blind at best and completely disingenuous at worst.

          I didn't ask that. I'll ask it again. You think there's a bit of a difference between the advancement from 1980->2000 and from 2000->2020? Or are you a moron?

            Yes you did ask that homosexual. And I answered there absolutely has been the same shift. You’re the one being moronic here.

    I get the feeling that saying shit like the gamecube, ps2, and xbox isn’t retro at this point is all just some weird cope because anons don’t want to admit they’re getting older

    There will be no more "retro" games because there are no new gaming generations.
    The PS3/Xbox 360 generation never ended. That's why fricking Mass Effect, Bioshock, Modern Warfare, Skyrim, Arkham, GTAV, etc. can just come out over and over again virtually unaltered, and people buy them again because they're indistinguishable from current games.

    PS2, PS3, 360 and Wii are all retro.

      No. PS2 and GameCube are retro, PS3 and 360 are not. Wii is a special case because it was such a short-lived fad of its time, and because its tech was already last-gen by the time it came out.

    It goes by generations. 6th gen started in 1998, so PS2 feels retro, even though it came out in 2000.

    7th gen started as early as 2005, but since that gen was the start of the online FPS being the dominant genre, and we haven’t seen much change in genre (nor huge leaps in tech) in gen 8 and 9, it still feels very close to the present.

      I thought of a great example.

      >Resident Evil 3 comes out in 1999
      >Resident Evil 3 Remake comes out in 2020, is a completely new game that only copies some fundamental plot cues

      >Resident Evil 4 comes out in 2004
      >Resident Evil 4 Remake comes out in 2023, is exactly the same as Resident Evil 4 with minor remixes because the Resident Evil franchise hasn't fundamentally changed since then and even the 2/3 remakes were basically just "Those games in the style of Resident Evil 4" to begin with

      You can look at this picture and immediately perceive that only one of the four games in it is "retro"

        Your example is bad, cause modern games copied RE4 over The shoulder Camera. Re4 was The first onez dude. See other genres and you Will understand why 6th generantion is retro.
