Super Mario Bros (NES) to Mario 64: 11 years.
It was pretty wild growing up while Moore's Law was full steam ahead.
I can think of 3 different PCs I built and overclocked during college. Now, my everyday use computer is 8 years old and it's still pretty dang good.
You can take my DS from my cold dead fingers.
I saw some thread once asking about "classic games like on the 360." A lot of people were big mad that the word "classic" was being used to describe such recent games and making fun of the OP.
But the 360 is as old today as the NES was when the 360 first got released. If you would've considered Super Mario Bros. a classic in 2005, why couldn't Oblivion or Gears of Wars be similarly considered classic now?
Shut up.
And yet, somehow consumer tech didn't advance much since 15 years ago. Only more ads and more paid subscriptions. Same for games.
Ouch this physical hurts.
Hey, fuck you, too, buddy.
Are you calling me old?
skyrim is 15 years ago
That can't be right Skyrim is the most recent mainline Elder Scrolls game and they release one every 5-ish years
Well yeah. Since Skyrim there was also Skyrim and Skyrim.
GTA V is ~~well over~~ almost 15 years ago
no, it's from 2013 - so just 13 years ago
I can’t math
Modern Warfare is 19 years ago..
Next year 20 Year old graphics mean Crysis.
But i will still think of 2D sidescrollers.
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
By the way, Pokemon Red and Blue came out 30 years ago this year.
Apart from still having a crt, honestly all of that feels even farther back to me than it actually was. I was alive for dial up yet that feels like ice age type shit. I wish I had a better crt though. Or that literally any company would make modern ones.
Ummmm wow rude
Of it's any consolation, the 360 is 21 later this year.
Stop hurting me like that!
