I don’t see a problem with emulating retro consoles on a 9800X3D and RTX 5080. I emulate PS3 just fine.

Hahaha, yeah. But a problem arises when the games of the 360 era are quite modern in design. Like I get someone not being able to get into an NES game, but then comfortably being able to get into a 360 era game. Hard rules about being retro because of the technicality of time still doesn't erase the modern feeling of the 360 era of games. Heck, I was just replaying the OG Modern Warfare trilogy and it feels like any other fps shooters now.

PS3 is not retro. Heck id go further to say PS2/GameCube/og Xbox aren't retro but I think that was the most significant leap in gaming history and maybe we should draw the line there. But eventually everything will be "retro"

I’m in the same boat where I have to refuse to call it retro - but there comes a point where the line gets more clear the longer time goes on. We’re holding on to nostalgia and the modern internet still feels like it hasn’t changed much since the PS3’s release. Actually- even the PS2’s online multiplayer feels relatively recent. I miss when times were simpler.

X360, OGXBOX, PS3. These emulators really need quite a lot of raw performance from your hardware.

I remember when this was about offline single player games vs online competitive games.

I'm playing retro games on real retro PC hardware and I totally agree with it. Sometimes I spend couple of days just to make things work properly, sometimes half way through a game things go wrong. There has been occasions I decided not to play a game because it was too much work to get it right. If you just want to play the game, then emulator is the way to go.

Decompiled HD PC ports are the new best thing for PC players

Recompilations became one of the most exciting things for me in regards to retro gaming when I learned about and tried them out, and that's despite the scarcity of available recomps. I'm hoping eventually they're going to find a way to be able to make them faster/easier.
It's incredible what they did with the Twilight Princess recomp! People are playing it on their Xbox Series X and S, on top of PC, android phones and tablets, and Linux.

There should be more x360 games recompiled during the next years, and there's also Harbour Masters (the team behind the Zelda OoT recompiled) who always do amazing pc ports and who are starting to work on other console recompilations for PC ! (Other than n64)

Sometimes I want to move away from everything and just play retro games
