Let’s put it like this- Skyrim is as old now as Final Fantasy VII was when it came out. If you had asked me then if Final Fantasy VII was an old game when Skyrim came out, I’d have said yeah.
The term “classic” would suit it better.
“Retro” would also work, given that it was released 2 generations ago
So retro wouldn’t fit, as retro mean new in old-style. You’re looking for vintage
‘Retro’ in a gaming sense is often used interchangeably with ‘Vintage’, as far as I can tell.
The subreddit r/Retrogaming even has this gem on their sidebar:
Retro Gaming: Reddit’s home of vintage gaming
What the fuck? Yes. Yes we fucking are. MAKE ANOTHER ELDER SCROLLS GAME, YOU ASSBAGS!
Yes but more that that, not just old games should be on GoG, all offline games should be on GoG.
It’s from 2011, of course it’s old.
If I had a dog that was born in 2011 I would call him old.
I personally think games age faster than dogs ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m more upset about Thief (2014) being labelled as “classic”.
That’s amazing! It’s one of the few games that I feel like replaying every few years. Some of the others are Mario 3, doom 1 and 2.
There are others but I can’t think of them off the top of my head at the moment.
- Kotor
- Chrono Trigger
- Ocarina of Time / Twilight Princess / Wind Waker
- Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
- Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage
- Crash Bandicoot: Warped
- F-Zero GX
- Halo CE / Halo 3 / Halo: Reach
- Paper Mario: the Thousand-Year Door
- Journey
That’s a good list for sure oot and alttp and halo 1 for me. I’m surprised you skipped Halo 2. I never really liked that one as much as the others but people really seem to love it.
Old? It’s still getting major releases! 😉
I’m looking forward to checking out the re-make that’s about to drop of one of my old favorite games. Lunar: Silver Star Story. I still have my PS1 version.
It’s impossible for it to be old. They keep releasing it, making it new every time. Just last week, they announced that it will be released on my toaster this summer.
It is an old game, technically it was an old game when it was released
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m glad no new Elder Scrolls game is coming out. With the enshittification of Bethesda, the announcement of TES6 coming out would just hype everyone only for it to be a buggy, microtransaction-filled trashcan. See Starfield.
I’m more hyped for Skyblivion than for TES6.
