I've been having a Burnout 3 obsession lately (lemmy.world)

Ugh. I don't mind more the encroaching of the definition of retro, but can we have sub classifications? Burnout 3 has to be generation 7 or 8 in consoles right? My retro ends at Gen 3...

Now please remove yourselves from my lawn before I feel the need to apologize at you for asking you to remove yourself from my lawn.

I'm playing on a Trinitron that's gotta count for something!

I think it's Gen 6 (PS2/Xbox). But at the time the Gen 6 consoles were new, the Gen 3 that you consider retro was about 20 years old, just like these consoles are now. I think they still fit the label of retro pretty well, but it's always hard to consider something newer than your childhood as "old" tbh

Burnout 3 is a PS2/Xbox game, 6th gen. It definitely holds up better than a lot of 7th gen games though.

6th Gen? Man they pumped a lot of sequels back in those days. I'd probably take it today opposed to our Skyrim/GTA cycles and games as a service.
