The PS3 is a retro console. The wii is a retro console. Xbone 360 is a retro console.
If you disagree, you are old.
Is there a different term for what NES and SNES are? Calling both them and the PS3 retro makes retro a little vague
they’ve gone beyond retro. they’re like, what you think the Atari 2600 or the BBC Micro are.
I don’t see Atari 2600 or Xbox 360 games on https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/retro , but I see lots of NES and SNES. That seems to be most popular with retro gamers
The one that really fucks me up is the PS3 and 360, how can the generation of DLC be RETRO???
Most of this year’s college freshman were born after the Xbox 360 was released.
I don’t know if it’ll happen but I’m gonna be tickled if games ever develop academicly studied eras like films do. Like the whole silent era, golden age, Hollywood Renaissance, new wave, etc thing.
“Oh, you enjoy Dig-Dug? A classic from the Namco golden era. Personally I’m more into the early British wave of ZX Spectrum titles. The Stamper brothers were autuers, ahead of their time. Have you played Atic Atac? The origins of the standard life bar.”
Actually now that I type this out this is just what white guy 45 minute video essays are
if you carry the love of video games in your heart, this has already happened.
there are people who absolutely love british speccy titles, and they are perverts.
need a :sanae-shocked: emote
Bruh the PS2 is older than me. I love that little DVD brick.
