War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2000 playable tanks, aircrafts and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
Nintendo. Xbox. PlayStation. These things, seem immortal.
But alas, they are but new creations by man.
Except nintendo that stuffs pretty old.
Today I want to go over a bunch of things, listing games like halo, like the pokemons, the Marios, even a Fortnite, just to make you feel old.
Now obviously the effect of this will depend on your age.
If you’re just hitting 20, it probably isn’t gonna be nearly as surprising to hear some of this as somebody in their 30s. And so on and so forth.
This is just for fun. Or to make you feel old.
You decide.

I think the reason why it seems so insane for gaming in particular besides the obvious you are older now and perceived time moves faster the older you get is that games take so much longer to release now. Back in the day you'd get a new game in a series every 3 years or so in the 2000s and even every 1 to 2 years in the '90s. Now a new game in a series takes at least 5 years, often going up to 6 to 8 years. Thats one game a console generation if you're lucky.

Early PS4/3DS games could arguably be considered retro even. People considered SNES games retro in the early 2000s and such, and we're past a decade of the PS4/3DS'a early years. Retro is such a undefined subjective term in many ways, surreal to think about all these things.

@Bajolzas 8 месяцев назад

they technically can't though. they are old, sure, but not retro. that generation left CRT TVs behind, adopted wireless controllers, widescreen, digital games, game updates, widespread netplay. they are fundamentally different to what came before. I don't think you will have such a difference ever again, unless games are directly played in our brains or something.

@MrTJPAS 8 месяцев назад

At 22 years, we are equidistant to the 2002 release of GTA Vice City, a game which encapsulates the 1980s, as the release date of that game is to the very start of the 1980s. By that logic, a game which is based in the early 2000s would be just as appropriate today as Vice City was to its release date. I'm calling it now that Ubisoft will announce a Watch Dogs prequel set in 2003 and make the aesthetic all about early 2000s nostalgia. 2003 because that's when that massive blackout that the original Watch Dogs had made a serious effort to connect to its story happened.

Crazy Fact: The very first video game ever, the Cathode-Ray-Tube Amusement Device (1947) at 77 years old is closer to the construction of the Eiffel Tower (1889) than to now or just as far away as 1870 was then. In other words it’s closer to the publishing of Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1871) than to today and closer to the Old American Wild West as well.

Man, Mario Odyssey turning 7 this year does make me feel old. It came out a few days before my 17th birthday and my Dad got me the switch bundle. To this day thats the closest to launch I ever got a console. It felt so cool playing in handheld and showing my friends all the gimmicky gyro features. It’s crazy how time just moves on without you noticing, until you look back like, “that was a decade ago??”

@leandrocarvalho7191 7 месяцев назад

I feel like this surprise people feel by realizing how old some games are is partially due to games having a longer lifespan than they would have in the past thanks to modding, DLCs, online gaming, etc. and also because graphics have sort of stagnated, for the last decade or so, there hasn't been great graphic improvements simply because there isn't much more that can be improved.

I’ve got a couple more for you. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for 3DS (June 2011) is now the same age that the original N64 version of Ocarina of Time (November 1998) was when 3D first released. Also, the release of Pong (1972) is midway between the start of Prohibition (1920) and the present day.
