>Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted).
Ganker's topic criteria are colloquials. Not formal definitions.
"Retro" is a manner of production. Literally, "they don't make them like they used to". As in the materials are obsolete or the supply chain doesn't exist. Once A.I. replaces human artists all handmade images will be considered "retro" by virtue of the fact that it's not how things are produced anymore. That doesn't mean they won't still be around, just out-of-fashion.
The size of modern games are getting up to an excess of 100GBs. The industry's vision of the future is always bigger and better. But should something like the global economy collapse, these state-of-the-art games could become "retro" if they can't be mass produced or serviceable.
You literally made up a defintion tailor made to fit your argument homosexual.
Google (from oxford):
"Imitative of a style or fashion from the recent past"
Cambridge:
"Similar to styles, fashions, etc. from the past"
Merriam webster is similar too.
It always supports OP and not your made up definition. If you want to extend it to "retro gaming", the term itself is colloquial so your argument is a load of horseshit
He's talking about modern retro rpg's. As in boomer shooter genre. Old engine, or new engine made to look old. Siege of Dragonspear would be an example of that.
actual retro rpgs? depending on how back you want to go and if you count jrpgs or not, there is somewhere between a tonne and millions. fricking look at BG3 for god's sake
but what you are actually looking for based on your incredibly low quality post is a nostalgiabait """rpg""", not happening, because only a drooling moron would deliberately make his game wrong just so some nostalgiagay on Ganker can go "woah this is exactly like that dogshit game i played 20 years ago as a child, it's not fun, it's missing le soul" because the nostalgia factor isn't there
pic related, when you think "classic rpg" you're thinking of the exact opposite approach, aka good game design
Good point. Though I wouldn't say that it's harder, it's just not compatible with skills that are needed for making games. Coders aren't good writers, but one coder can throw together a shooter.
Good thing i like writing and coding. I write stories a lot. One of my favorite things to do when i was a kid. Something i still do. The only thing lacking is my art skills. I'm not that great at drawing.
> why are 20+ hr games with complex systems less popular than DOOM 2 TCs?
no idea homie
but if you want a serious answer, for most devs "retro"/shitty graphics are a necessity rather than a design choice
if you wanna get into some, here are some "reactionary" ones out there: > Brigand: Oaxaca > Islands of the Caliph > ATOM RPG > Moonring > Lunacid > SKALD: Against the Black Priory > Dread Delusion > Urban Strife (only for including actual ballistics, which is not present in any post-2007 tactics/RPG) > Passageway of the Ancients
good thing you didn't name any of them. brigand was one of the worst gaming experiences I've had in the past 5 years, you pretentious rpg tards are unbearable, you play games other people wouldn't wipe their asses with just because of some moronic fricking "systems" which mean jack fricking shit in the face of how fricking garbage games like brigand and gothic are
The ability to sprint would massively improve Brigand. The slow movement was unbearable to me, so I quit before the game could properly take off I guess
just download a mod. you aren't proving anything by purposefully making the game worse just because you're keeping it "pure." people only take pride in shit like that because they have nothing in their life worth taking pride in
A RPG like Morrowind is a massive, massive endeavor. The fact that Morrowind manages to do what it does is miraculous. If it's even possible, it would take an indie developer a decade or two to make.
But is it worth it? When they're finished with the game, is anyone even looking for a 2000's RPG? Does anyone care about the complex systems you spend tons of resources on? See
It's not worth it to develop 2000's RPG. It would be a waste of time and resources. That's why no one is making one. You might think "retro RPG would be nice", then after someone spend a decade on it, you'd play it for 30 minutes and then shat on it on /vrpg/
>A RPG like Morrowind is a massive, massive endeavor. The fact that Morrowind manages to do what it does is miraculous. If it's even possible, it would take an indie developer a decade or two to make.
You can make an empty map and plop some copy-pasted enemies with 2 animations each and next to no AI in about a week in unreal.
Morrowind didn't even have a dedicated dungeon designer, not one, dungeons were designed from copy pasted rooms, that's why they all look the same and some are literally copies of each other with mobs and loot changed.
Only thing that's time consuming would be the verbal vomit that are Morrowind dialogues, but you could just tell chat gpt to do it and it would be an honest to god improvement because this way you wouldn't copy-paste dialogue between NPCs, which Morrowind does to most if not all npcs to some degree
This
Every design decision in Morrowind can be traced back to cost/time cutting
Why bother writing a story where important characters can die when you can just set a flag to some NPCs and slap some text on the screen saying "reload a save"? One is much faster and cheaper.
Why bother writing dialogue trees for each NPC when a keyword system allows you to copy-paste canned responses from NPC to NPC?
Why bother making the music loop properly when you can just... Not..?
>Every design decision in Morrowind can be traced back to cost/time cutting
This is true for every Bethesda game ever made. They are masters of laziness.
>Why bother writing a story where important characters can die when you can just set a flag to some NPCs and slap some text on the screen saying "reload a save"?
There is an optional path where any of the main characters can die, but you probably agree with the dumb Black person OP, it's not a "real choice." And stop acting like RPGs are always like this where the player can do literally fricking anything and the game reacts like it has an AI game director.
>Why bother writing dialogue trees
Dialog trees weren't really a thing until Fallout/Baldur's Gate. Even Fallout 1 still has remnants of the traditional dialog system where you type keywords in a box.
Also, Everquest has the exact same dialog system with highlighted keywords as in Morrowind. This was considered a QoL at the time, instead of typing things you just click on a keyword.

Let me spell it out for you. If you're making a village, modeling houses, streets, signs ect and then putting NPCs in the respective houses shops ect takes effort and thought. Making a plateau with a few trees dotted about does not. Neither does making a swamp with nothing in it. Neither does making "ashlands" or whatever they're called in the game. Morrowind is 95% empty space like that.

There is more to video game development than just graphics.
Even if you don't know about it, there is other work involved that is more complicated than drawing a picture.You keep talking about placing and swapping assets and textures, because that's apparently all you know about game development. If you tried making a game, maybe you could get even the tiniest bit of understanding about the wide range of things come into play.
What you keep talking about is just about the most irrelevant, smallest concern, when thinking about making an open world RPG.

You are entitled to your incorrect, homosexual opinions.
i played a bit of this game like ardenfall, and it was actually a lot better than i thought it would be. the story stuff isn't interesting to me, but their systems and the core gameplay are impressively well done.
It's entertaining to see touristhomosexuals and Discord trannies attempt to bring down a game that puts them down to their rightful place. Morrowind is the best litmus test in outing undesirables.
Isn't that exactly what games like Pillars and Pathfinder are? Isometric RPGs were stone dead for decades before they came back again in the kickstarter wave
This actually looks good, wtf. Should I get my hopes up? I loved Betrayal at Krondor but it's so hard to get into it nowadays, it aged like shit. What can I reasonably expect from Call of Saregnar?
Ignore every post above mine, the real reason is that open world rpgs like morrowind are much harder to make compared to the glorified Doom wads that we call "boomer shooters" due to a variety of factors most important of which is exponential complexity due to an rpg's many interlocking systems.
There are but they're made by indie studios and you don't like them. Square even hired a studio to make some, they did a couple that sucked and flopped.
There has probably never been better work done on a total conversion, commercial or otherwise. And if anyone is going to jerk off the early 2000s PC game aesthetic and not play archolos into the ground they're just a poseur
There are a ton, you just apparently don't know what actual retro RPGs are like, seeing as you apparently believe Morrowind is one.

No one on this board plays or talks about RPGs. What do you expect. Bonus points for the moron that thinks that retro means "old".
20 year old games are retro
Read the definition of retro again
>Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted).
NTA but /vr/'s current definition of retro is moronic.

There are several indie RPGs with way greater mechanical complexity than Morrowind thoughbeit.
Risen 3 ?
There are but they're made by indie studios and you don't like them. Square even hired a studio to make some, they did a couple that sucked and flopped.
I love morrowind skyboxes soo much, why are they so good, bros?
ctrl-f "archolos" nothing
homosexuals get out of vrpg
get into the city in archolos, it's absolutely amazing.
that's just a mod for an old game though, right?
There has probably never been better work done on a total conversion, commercial or otherwise. And if anyone is going to jerk off the early 2000s PC game aesthetic and not play archolos into the ground they're just a poseur
To be a retro RPG it would have to be good which means it could not be modern.
Lunacid, Dread Delusion?
