"Retro"

At what point does a game become "retro" in your eyes?
Is it forever a title associated with cartridge-based games? If not, how much time do you think needs to pass before a game or system is considered retro?
For example, I think plenty of people would consider the SNES to be a retro console, but are we at the point where the PSX is also retro? Is Spyro 1 a "retro game"? It's just a cunt hair under 20 years old at this point, is that enough time for it to earn that classification?

DELICIOUS!

source pls user

Retro is any game released before 2000

Use reverse image search, and lurk moar.

I feel like telling someone to reverse image search should be considered spoon feeding too at this point.
Like how new are you that you don’t even know how to source an image?

I will always love this Hex Maniac

Gonna be honest, with my childhood entirely within the 90's and my teenage years being in the 00's, I do feel that true retro remains old arcade and cartridge stuff. Though a few early disk games get a pass like Sega CD, Playstation classic.

Dreamcast kind of pushes it. In my mind Dreamcast was when we entered 'the the modern age' sort of like how some historians feel humanity didn't achieve 'modern age' until the Renaissance.

Though I am willing to consider games 15 years or older at least 'vintage'.

>Deus Ex is Vintage based on my criteria

fuck.

It doesn’t even slightly resemble the original.

Is there a problem?

we all know why you made this thread
post more hexes

Sex Maniac is not confident in herself enough to wear underwear like that, let alone blatantly expose it

I love her a lot but that's not the appeal of her

Yeah, it doesn’t even slightly resemble the original.

Oh I get it now, you're gay. I apologize for there being no cure.

After 3 gens it's retro

Asking the artist to have some faithfulness to the source material does not equate to homosexuality.

Never according to /vr/. Retro for /vr/ ends with the SNES.

source is slugbox

It may not, but you're still gay.

>Dreamcast is "retro" but Xbox PS2 and Gamecube aren't

If at first glance you can undeniably tell it's an old ass game.
For example, the low polygon 3D graphics of N64 games make them retro.
On the other hand, consoles like GC and beyond will not be retro in the foreseeable future because the 3D graphics are still similar (to the human eye not from a technical standpoint) to modern games.

That too, /vr/ has a weird boner for the Dreamcast. probably cause it's SEGA's last.

About 15 years old seems to be the cutoff now. Though there will probably have to a further classification at some point, would be strange to lump the 360 together with the NES under "retro" in 5 years or so.

I don’t understand why you felt an artistic critique was an invitation to make assertions about my sexual preferences.

Because you're gay, user. I'm sorry.

>can't appreciate both on model and what's basically 2D cosplay
There's enough of both littered around. What I'm feeling depends on the day and today's just a tittymonster day for me.

Fair enough. Have a nice day.

At least 15 to 20 years old

This really, replying to these retards should be a banneable offense. Though in reality we all know someone will end up giving sauce or reply to tripfags and namefags; might as well call them faggots.

You too.

>don't ask just use saucenao or GIS
>never get what I need, results are always vague like "cartoon" or something even with safe off
I just move on if I get to that point, but I really hate this shit.

>tfw thickfags do everything they can to ruin Best Maniac

Doesn't help that it inexplicably uses the thumbnail for me.
Maybe its my browser or some bullshit like that.

I still love and want to protect her

She's a goth though. That underwear is probably the only thing that fits her aesthetic and keeps them contained.

I love cowtits and flat maniac equally there just isn't enough flat maniac art

Also loli maniac a best

Hint: the thumbnail, when google image reverse searched, gives different results from the full image.

It was inevitable. Game freak knew what they were doing. A goth girl who sells milk out of nowhere completely out of context? It was clearly fan service to oppai/lactation.

Lactation is associated with big tits. Big tits are associated with curves, curves are associated with thicc.

>just used iqdb
>instantly found
Wow, its like someone put that feature into this site for a reason

That too, no matter what I try it always uses the thumbnail.

Anything older than 3 generations is retro in my mind.

Whenever a game is fucking old as shit. People here loved to deny Halo 1 being old but that game is fucking 17 years old now.

To me anything before 6th gen is retro.

5th gen was the age of obvious polygons.

6th was the age of less obvious, but still substantial polygons.

I can't look at the PS2 and go
>Aw yeah, Shadow of the Colossus, that retro videogame.
Maybe in about 3 years or so I'll be able to have that mind set.
Not yet though.

I understand it is a bit dumb considering that had the PS2 been a child I would now be able to have consensual sex with it.

Pre-Online.

I don't think it has to do with time passed. The introduction of the internet as a main part to games changed them forever.

There is a massive difference between games before and after. This was also the time the middle market started to die out so we also got less variety of game which further increased the attention given to online features.

True but a bit of bump to the polygon count and some textures and it really wouldn't feel any different than modern games.

>try that
>gives me "try these searches" redirects and a bunch of wrong guesses
I'm just saying that shit never works for me. I usually stumble across a name later on anyways so I don't bother begging in threads if I can't get what I'm looking for.

This. N64/PSX are retro now.

when you look back at all hours you and your bro( either by blood or by bond) wasted trying to beat that one boss, or hashing it out on a fighting game, or comparing each others save files

well how do you define that, online was huge on pc years before consoles ever acknowledged the existence of the internet

I really hope you're not stupid enough to ignore turning on all the site filters when looking for obvious fap material

It's probably trying to search the thumbnail or some asinine shit like that.

Thats why I said when it became a main part of games.

Sure PC was playing online with Doom, but Doom wasn't going to die if someone stopped hosting servers for it or even when they made sequels. Online was a thing some people had and even fewer games used.

Come gen 6 it was dirt common and reliable for PC owners and present in part in every console. At that point games were made to sell on the concept of online play.

I think in /vr/'s case it should shift with time. Eventually Sup Forums will be populated with people who's first game was from 2017 and it will become difficult to discuss games from the 2000s.

I knew a girl in high school who looked like Hex Maniac. She was cute.

Open the pic first, then iqdb it.

is she single?

I always thought people just arbitrarily used "retro" for everything from before 2000.

idk

I'm casting the widest net possible and it usually can't find shit for me. I don't know why you're so offended that I'm saying there's a lot of stuff it just gives up on. Hell, it barely figured out non non biyori from my last pic.

Unless there's a setting for that I keep missing, it goes for the thumbnail, open or not. Again, it's not a big deal since I don't need it a lot of the time, it's just a bit annoying when it can't find something at the time.

>girls with dark eyeshadow/baggy eyes
My dick shouldnt like this but it does

What the hell?

Lapis best gem

>My dick shouldnt like this but it does
why not?

The rules state pre-2000. Xbox and PS2 are too new.

Anything pre-1995.

Post more great big fucking massive soft Hex breasts.

fan art ruined the character.

What's wrong user

>Character

She's a background npc, not a lot of character to ruin

M-MAMA GIB ME MIWKIES! MAMA! MAMA MY PEEPEE HARD!

More than 2 console gens ago is retro. Some day soon the kids will consider skyrim a retro game.

I dont even like the whole goth look but something about how the eyes are is fucking great

Are you gay or something? Goth girls are literally the peak of the modern world

what about something like this

Fat and stinky. There's a difference between grim/elegant and plain unkempt.

>haha dude lazy depressed thicc girl
garbage

it's also a lesbian and a self-insert

You can apply this to just about anything though. Bump the polygon count and textures up for Mario 64 and you've got... Odyessy.

Not yandere enough
Now we’re talking

But that is one game not gaming a whole. And Nintendo hardly represents gaming as a whole anymore. That isn't exactly a bad thing, but they are an anomaly. Part of why I liked the WiiU is beyond the dumb tablet it was basically an old console. They still haven't figured out online, I mean the Wii had a god damn wireless g adapter in it.

Online wasn't super common in gen 6, but you can definitely see the tone shift. Your God of Wars and Halos took over from Breath of Fires and Robo Pit.

Look at Twisted Metal for example, goofy car combat game on PS1, grimdark arena game on PS2. You can like both and I do, but they are hardly even the same game. You see a lot of that transition at the time.

Transitions aren't a clean line in the sand but there is a jumping off point I would say.

Did they ever draw any rape porn of her?

This

>born in nes era
>kiddo in snes era
>teen at ps1 era
>highschooler in ps2 era
>college in ps3 era
>uncle in ps4 era

Fuck....

Same. I want to die already.

>ruin
More like upgrade you fucking soyboy.

Consider this, Mega Drive and SNES were labeled as retro in the 00s, while in the 10s people still struggle with the idea that the PS1 or PS2 are in the same league

I don't. Shit's old as fuck. If it weren't for my nostalgia, I'd wonder how the hell I jacked off to half of the in-game 3D character models I used to.

/vr/ turning down non-retro vidya is hilarious.

>2000 will almost be 20 years ago
>ps2 almost 2 decades old

I'm a bit older but, yeah pretty much.
>tfw no siblings
>tfw my sibling-ish cousins don't want their kids call me "uncle"
For fuck's sake. I don't have to be a dad, nor do I want to, but I'll never be an actual uncle, so at least give me that small joy.

/vr/

The moment you talk about a game in front of someone in their twenties and they ask “is that’s for the Xbox?” and you realise it came out before they were even conceived, is the moment a game becomes retro.
