Do you consider PS360 era Retro yet? If not when?

[Tenchi Ryu]

Robbed this idea from Era cause its an interesting topic...do you consider the 360 and ps3 retro consoles yet? Especially since next year we're likely going to next gen.....But on the other hand their ability to connect to internet and stream keeps them much more relevant and useful than any other past consoles which were basically just gaming boxes.

Is a PS3 or Xbox that can still run netflix and hulu considered Retro?

 

[thesandman]

No. Retro is at least 20-30 years away. That's when the nostalgia really kicks in hence that's why most films that are nostalgia centered follow this formula.

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Nah. 20 years out. I don't even consider the GC/PS2/XB era retro yet...doesn't help only a small handful of titles from that gen aged gracefully, either.

 

[homiedontplaydat]

It depends on next gen.

There was a "jump" this generation, but it might've been the smallest jump between generations. Doesnt compare to what we saw between say NES to SNES/Genesis or N64/PS1 to PS2/Xbox. GOW Ascension on PS3 still holds up pretty well right now.....basically imo we've been in the same place since PS3/360 just with higher resolutions and SOMETIMES higher fps.

True photo realism is the next step, which I'm a bit weary about because i think we are fast approaching the uncanny valley.....I dont know if I want my games looking exactly like real life...




I'm very curious to see what games look like in 3 years

That xbox/ps2 to 360/PS3 leap was mindblowing to me. I still play my 360 til this day.

 

[Tommy Fits]

Not yet, if my controllers still worked, I'd still play some of the games on my PS3

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Bump

 

[Leasy]

I need this so I can use emulation on the Series S and play College Hoops

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Bump

Yeah 2 generations down is retro

Yea them shyts old. PS3 can be emulated on most capable gaming PCs now days, if I recall.

 

[Barnett114]

Nah.

Gaming hasn't changed much since the PS3/360 era.

All we have now is better textures, resolutions, and frame rates.

AI is mostly unchanged and mediocre.

 

[Chris Cool]

Yeah. It's been 15 years. Graphics are now shytty, I'm riding around and shyt just be popping up. Nobody playing them shyts no more.

 

[daze23]

Yeah. It's been 15 years. Graphics are now shytty, I'm riding around and shyt just be popping up. Nobody playing them shyts no more.

but a lot of that is just the limitations of that old hardware. if you play those games on PC, or if they have good BC support on the new consoles, they can still look pretty good

That xbox/ps2 to 360/PS3 leap was mindblowing to me. I still play my 360 til this day.

PS1 to PS2 era was the biggest leap, I mean Dreamcast blew away n64 and ps1
PS3 did not blow away ps2

It took the ps3 like 4 years to going, the launch for them systems were horrible and the games looked like ps2 games

PS3 XBOX360 was the longest generation so people forget how bad it was in the beginning, I didn't even a ps3 until 2011/12I had stop playing videogames

PS4 was a way bigger leap to me, Infamous Second Son blew away anything on ps3 and it was an early title
