it doesn’t “feel” retro because video games in 2023 aren’t that different from video games in 2008

by contrast video games in 2008 were very different from video games in 1993

Ah, that explains it.

But yeah. I think now we’re at 600,000 triangles in models, to expand on the graphic above. Of course the 360 doesn’t feel retro, it’s not THAT graphically behind. The advancements are in lighting, shading, and animation.

The writing has arguably backslid.

A 3ds counts as retro, because you can clearly see the technical limitations of the hardware and the influence those limits had upon the designs of the games which run on it.

A PS3 does not count as retro, because you can play the same games on a PS3 and a PS5 and they run pretty much the same.
