So I was thinking, its been 13 years since the original release of FFX, would you consider this game to be retro now? If not, how old would you say a game has to be for it to be considered retro?

Doesn't it have to be good to be retro? :exdee:
In all seriousness, no. I mean, yes, it crossed the nostalgia border since 10 years is enough for that, but I think it takes more time for a game to be retro. Heck, not even VII is retro in my eyes.
I remembering reading something in a old PlayStation magazine, that when a game is a decade years old, it becomes retro.
Complete bullweed, but I think it does makes sense/ add up.
I consider 8/16bits to be retro personally, but don't care if someone wants to call this retro. I've found on Twitter that anything generation six and below is considered retro so I just go with it when making tweets. I think it might have been taken off that card with the release of the HD version, though I have no idea why.
I'd be willing to by PS1 era games as Retro at this point. Not so much PS2.
Agreed.Quote:

No. For myself, I would say something has to be atleast twenty years old to be considered retro.
No. I'd say the PS1 games are retro.
Nah, it's the opposite 90% of the time, seeing as most entertainment ages terribly. Typically things considered "retro" objectively suck by modern standards. :pQuote:

That's exactly how FFX looks on my TV
