i was born too late to expience having a crt

way too late in fact

like 2006 i was born...

though my family did have a couple wide screen tvs though

shoutout to the original 360

i blew this firetrucker up while playing naruto the broken bond 😔

oh god...

That explains it lol

no i mean, the tvs i have in my room i use is literally from early to mid 2000's

Ah

Yeah...

kinda interesting to know that people did use crts for the 7th gen consoles too

at least during the earlier years of it

its kinda weird to think about these modern games being run on a crt

sounds kinda odd

these modern games like xbox 360 and ps3 games aged perfectly today

ehhh

it depends

earlier games from that period haven't aged all the best

usually in the looks department

i wouldn't straight up call xbox 360 or ps3 "retro"

even in a couple of years

they don't look that dated

I think this has deviated from KH talk and should be taken over to now. 💀

back to kingdom hearts

would you consider kingdom hearts 2 to be "Retro"

what is the cut off point for something to be considered Retro

If Mario and stuff was considered retro in the 2000s. Then KH1 and KH2 can be considered retro now

True

but, anything after the 6th generation should not be considered retro

The problem is, is that those older games still dominate public conscious, and are what people think when you say retro. People aren't going to jump right to PS2 era games

by that logic in a couple of years kingdom hearts 1.5 would be considered retro

which i'm going to say bullshit to taht

How retro is retro then?

Is it by time or by how old the console Gen is?

Id consider something that was rather primiative in tearms of everything in a medium

in gaming for example

The problem is that retro is kind of a looser term now. You could point to say, Super Mario Bros and Mario Sunshine. SMB is old, it's pixel-y, it's simple. Super Mario Sunshine was fresh and new and 3D. There was a large different in the look and feel of those games. There's a massive leap in the core look and feel of those games. But for stuff like Kingdom Hearts there largely isn't

the graphics of xbox 360 and ps3 i wouldn't consider primative in any way the games feel like playing blockbuster movies

Cause tbh like, games like Uncharted 1-3 are feeling kinda retro to my old ass for instance lol

Or like, Halo 1 or something

We aren't as likely to consider KH1 a retro game because it doesn't really feel or look to different at a glance from stuff nowadays, and fandom and internet culture has helped those older games stay fresher in peoples minds

PS3 and 360 will be considered retro to the people who grew up with it, like us for PS1 and 2 stuff

i would consider the cut off point for something to be retro would be 6 generation anything after is not retro
