Yeah but remember the way Xbox started up? So futuristic. Boomba Boom boom SQUAAAOOW blblblbblbltingley bingley beep beep dink. That could never be retro.
Reminds me of making mouth noises.
its kinda funny because it looks dated even with the graphics overhaul in mcc but the gameplay is still solid, and there are older games that still look as good as release day but the mechanics are kinda rough. And some that always were and always will be perfect.
I feel like at this point retro is more of a style though. Graphics can only get so realistic and anything made to peak modern visual standards will be harder to differentiate from previous decades as time goes on, if we don’t all die from pollution and war and other shit. Oh fuck, maybe retro will become anything that features a non-destroyed climate/environment in a world where children will be born having never seen what earth once was.
Combat Evolved came out 23 years ago. That’s older than Super Mario Bros. was when the Wii launched.
I want to downvote you but I cant.
Go ahead
Shiiit… By 2 years. 3 if you go by the Japanese release.
I am very upset with you right now.
What’s the game to the left of Halo? It’s the only one I can’t make out.
Looks like a Russian palace, maybe Tetris?
talk about feeling old… does Tetris no longer include this image?
Not really as much anymore
I want to say that’s Tetris.
Here’s a clearer image:
No, it’s clearly St Basil’s Cathedral, not a video game!
Its representing Captain Bible, obviously
It is without a doubt Tetris
At least they used the correct armor.
It irks me when they use the armor from Halo 2 or the remastered game to represent Combat Evolved.
halo is retro for a 25 year old
Time to change this community name to u/reallyoldgames.
Yeah, it does. They gave Half-Life’s spot to that crappy game.
I thought the halo ce was generally very well received. Is the hate for it a lemmy generation thing?
It is and it’s certainly a better game than HL.
It’s not hard to be honest, time wasn’t kind to HL 1.
It was revolutionary and changed a lot in game design on a significant number of fronts. It just aged poorly as others iterated and replaced its aspects. Halo has aged well mainly because (like most Bungie titles) it still feels like a modern title due to how tight, responsive, smooth, and intuitive the player’s interaction with the world is — mainly the controls and weapons.
Alotta half-life and older shooter fans blame the modern console shooter style on halo.
I thought the halo ce was generally very well received.
So was a whole bunch of other FPS tripe that glorified USian militarism.
PacMan is pretty boring but its not that bad.
Space Invaders, Asteroid, Pong, Adventure… these are retro
I stumbled across this today and still don’t believe it
That’s impossible…
Look in your heart, you know it to be true
You think you’re old? I was playing Bungie games when they were only on Mac.
I still miss the atomic hand grenade…
Frog blast the vent core!
I played Atari 2600 back when it was the console to have. I didn’t see a pixel that wasn’t square until I was a man. You think you know old gaming. I was born into it, molded by it, and it made me what I am today; an old man with back pain.
You think you’re old? I was playing games on Apples, not Macs…
You think your old. I was playing pong with paddles on channel 3.
Back then, Halo felt like running 26.219 miles
Leela was my first in-game crush
I heard he’s a pretty cool guy and doesn’t afraid of anything.
He afraids of 343’s writing
What if, instead of leading humanity in a fight for survival against a diverse mix of alien races with complex social structures, he fought some apes on an otherwise uninhabited planet?
Give this man a lead writing credit.
“let’s make the big bad kick his ass off screen and then disappear!”
i still fire up the old star wars raster arcade game sometimes mame is great for stuff like that
It’s vector.
Raster is a grid of dots, vector is lines from point to point.
Young Link’s third appearance was as a dead skeleton afraid that he left no legacy 18 years ago.
It stings at first, but once you realize you can now play all of the classics on emulators it helps take the pain away.
Nintendo would like to know your location
