PS3/360 can be considered retro now, and the Deck is powerful enough to run rpcs3 and Xenia, along with Cemu and Yuzu/Ryujinx for more modern Nintendo stuff.
Is it really that retro if the games are inherently the same as today's? Yes, yes, I know today's games are much much better in terms of graphics, sound, AI, etc. But overall, many games are still 3D quests or 3D first person shooters.
Compared to, say, the Super Nintendo.
Seeing as there are now fully grown adults who have grown up with those consoles, I'd say yes. Was the PS1 retro 10 years ago? Was the SNES retro 14 years ago?
To put it into perspective I am 32 and have been emulating systems since I was at least 14 if not earlier. At this point the emulators themselves have become a form of classic gaming.
Good point. I hadn't thought of it that way. When my parents talked about the things they did when they were kids, I thought "gee, this is ancient history!"
Yes and no, I couldn’t get stable frame rates on ps3 and it wasn’t enjoyable. Like my steam deck but it’s not the “end all be all”
