I never had an XBOX or PS2. I went over to my friend’s house and he’d let me take a controller. I’m surprised this is considered retro now and I’m a little sad since I never got to play it.
Now I have Steam games I can’t find time or joy to play and with no one to play them with.
And it never got cool super-computer action like N64 from 2015 Fantastic Four even.....lol.
That's OK, the Xbox 360 was heavily featured in Grandma's Boy, which is a much better deal.
This hurts me. I have vivid memories of playing Halo 3 and Hexic back when I was in middle school.
its old but it isn't retro at least not yet. Most xbox 360 games have modern game design none of them have that "retro" feel. Its an old system but none of the games feel old. Now the OG xbox being considered retro makes me feel like a dinosaur.
I would say "no" because the 360 did have the capability of 720p and 1080p. There isn't much you have to do to get it working with a modern television.
That's not the case with a TRULY retro console, either in terms of resolution or connectivity.
360 is AAA slop, I refuse to recognize that thing as retro.
I think using emulation as the benchmark for what makes a console retro can be a useful rule of thumb. By that metric I don't think the 360 is retro yet as emulation isn't quite mainstream or functional for the majority of titles. It's probably getting close though.
