The sixth generation was the last old-school generation. Everything after has been HD new-school shit

Yeah, zoomies have been trying to seem older and more nuanced since time eternal.

>Sixth gen started open world

Lolno. Zoomers have no interest in seeming "nuanced". They hate anything made before 2005.

Gen 5 was the last old-school generation, you could argue gen 4 as well.

gta 3 popularized the whole open world thing and you can't deny it

switch is a ninth-gen console, user

No operating systems on the consoles, really. Xbox had it's thing and you use your PS2 to play movies and your dreamcast to play CDs, but really it was just pop the game in and that's what you were doing.
No, I think he's right even if the 6th gen gave rise to the new styles of games that would become predominant and did not have the same one-foot-in holdover from the 16-bit era that the 5th gen did in places.

Oh gods it's you the schizophrenic who posts the same copy pasted shit

I disagree.
Everything that's good about modern games was present in the 6th generation, it's just that most of the bad stuff didn't get to it yet. Gaming had reached its zenith before 2008 ruined everything.
Every so often these days an amazing game slips through the cracks like Ace Combat 7 or Resident Evil 2 and you find that the gameplay is almost exactly like those 6th gen classics.

Brown and gray aesthetics began as far back as fifth gen with games like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, and Dino Crisis. The difference is that they weren't trying to be hyper-realistic like seventh gen and beyond consoles, and they had a soulful approach to their atmosphere, unlike shit like Battlefield and The Last of Us.

>DLC
>Hyper-realistic graphics
>lack of music

What is Xbox?...Seriously - Xbox live, normal mapping becoming more widely used... The music one I'm probably just pulling out of my ass since I haven't played enough on my Xbox... I mention Xbox live for the DLC thing because I think MechAssault had DLC.

The Xbox didn't have hyper-realistic graphics at all. Look at Halo: Combat Evolved. It's graphics are noticeably bad.
Halo 2's graphics were better, but there was a pretty giant leap from Halo 2 to Halo 3.

Wut?
I think you mean the 5th generation.
As soon as the original X-Box came on the scene, we hit the modern era of video games.
Everything from the NES to the N64 is a part of the post-classical era.

Reident evil, metal gear, and resident evil are not brown and grey

You said Resident Evil twice, and what are you talking about? Gray was MGS's aesthetic.
Of course, MGS was also soulful as fuck, unlike modern brown-and-gray video games.

We are talking about this brown and grey. The brown and grey that dominated 7th gen. Metal gear and is not brown and grey

Killzone came out in November 2004, which was so close to 2005 it might as well have been 2005. I'd count that as new-school.
The brown-and-gray aesthetics shows up a lot less in pre-2004 games.

Yeah, when you look at it from now, but back then people were probably talking about how "realistic" the graphics were at the time. When I was still in school at the time, I remember some kids talking about the graphics, saying they were photo realistic.

So we are just making up shit now?

That album sucks. Not even Juicy J could save it.

No, 2004-2005 has always been considered a fixed demarcation of when things changed.
Like when people always said "the 90s didn't end until 2004". Sometimes they extend it to 2005. I've talked to zoomers who refuse anything made before 2005 (even though 2004 had plenty of crap you'd think zoomers would like).
Pre-2004 games noticeably have less modern influence. There are still some games from 2004 that feel old-school though, like San Andreas.

>I've talked to zoomers who refuse anything made before 2005

No you haven't sttop being autistic

the Wii sucked but I like that they started focusing less on HD fidelity/realism and more on keeping games "gamey". Switch has something reminiscent of Gen 6 because of this. Every PS & Xbox since Gen 7 have been SameBoxes. Switch + PC Master Race

Was PS2 the Wal-Mart of consoles?

Yeah, the Wii was ever-so-slightly less sterile than the PS3 or 360, but it was still new-school. I mean, you look at the Miis, games like Twilight Princess, and the fact that you could watch YouTube videos on the Wii, and it's impossible to deny it was far gone from the old days.

Is there anyone who doesn't think the 6th gen is the best gen?
How do you rationalize it to yourself?

How the fuck are Miis, Youtube, or normal mapping bad?

Out of toucher boomer lmao, half of that doesnt even make sense

Never said they were bad, but still ushering I’m the age of modern garbage

What garbage did Mii's introduce?

Normies happened. In the seventh gen gaming became more socially accepted, and the hobby was flooded with normies who only wanted to play the most popular games and would play them with no standards at all.

So wrong. That was seven.

Miis are soulless as fuck. They're like Funko pops.

Seething zoomer
Just go to an ocarina thread, you’ll see zoomers crying about it, millennials defending it with their lives, and apathetic boomers who think it’s overrated

Zoombers, on the other hand, love Ocarina of Time.

Born in 93 so I guess I’m forever a millennial and not a based zoomber...
Thanks for reading my blog

You sound schizophrenic. What are you even talking about

both lists are complete shit except for clockwork orange.
fuck boomers

You sound like seething zoomer.

Really, the entirety of the 90s could fall under zoomber to a degree.
1995-1999 are the general years used because they were born at the end of the 20th century, so in some ways they are the "last of the old-school", but a lot of their peers are just plain zoomers.

>>The golden age of Flash games
Fucking this

bump

Resident evil 4
Budokai tenkaichi 2

Yeah, Newgrounds was the shit back in the 2000s.

Once consoles could reliably connect to the internet game design began to circle the drain. Aesthetics have trended in different directions but you can find worthwhile games each gen if you dig a little.

When the 7th generation started we got a lot of interesting games some on handheld and some on console. Then Modern Warfare came out and pretty soon every game had to be a gritty and linear console fps just like Call of Duty. This is when Japanese developers started making the transition to mobile games, mostly on the DS which was a huge step backwards from the PS2 which prepped the way for cellphone games and soulless cashgrabs. From there it was never the same.

Niggas be literally complaining about good graphics.
