/vr/ - Retro Games

I was writing a reply in another thread (>>10008673) but then it got pruned, maybe the OP will see it here:

Your friend isn't going to play the original game, he is going to play the remake and only the remake because some people are just never going to appreciate older works if there is a newer version, regardless of the quality of either. Whether it is lack of taste or lack of IQ, normies would rather play the game on the right than the game on the left. Yes, I'm serious. They cannot appreciate what the left is going for and extrapolate it in their brains, instead they gravitate towards the right simply because it's higher frequency. As for music, SNES instruments don't sound like flutes, violins, saxophones, et cetera and so similarly threaten them.

TL;DR somebody who cannot be convinced quickly and easily with logic to play the original game will not play the original game, because if they were logical then the logic would penetrate them.

When do 3D game visuals reach a point where they are no longer considered retro?

The only acceptable HD texture pack is the one for TDS to remedy the Xbox 64mb memory mudxtures. The one that also removes Garrett's eye glow and scar

Why are there still no PSX emulators with texture replacement options?
