retro gaming or modern gaming? - vr

[@8BitBoyUK]

Brilliant video mate.In particular , I can really relate to your stories. Especially the one with your Grandma coming in the room.When you suppose to be asleep 😂

[@steve36207]

@8BitBoyUK when I got older it was about making sure you didn't catch me doing anything else ol buddy 🤣🤣👊🕹

[@raza_is_retro]

This was a great watch mate and and some great stories as well it really is about the memories and retro games do bring back memories and they just hit differently indeed 😊😊 I do enjoy modern games....sometimes haha but retro just something i feel like it cant even be explained. Your right if you played games in 80s and 90s it was the golden days of gaming Really good video 😊😊

[@steve36207]

@raza_is_retro cheers raza buddy 😄 they really do take us back to that time where everything was new and fresh. Our mates would come around and we would go to theirs, just really great times 😄👊❤️🕹

Ah some class memories there Steve, agree nostalgia is such a powerful thing!

[@steve36207]

@tootyuk your spot on toots buddy 😄 the older I get the more nostalgic I'm becoming 🤣

Lovely story with your mother's memory, mate. As you say, mate its all about the memories 🙂 Great video as always, mate, I love these memory VR videos that are doing the rounds at the moment.

Great stories dude. Nostalgia does play a huge part because of the memories but I love modern too. Just playing through Astro Bot which nods to the history of Playstation so things like that are great. I could never choose one as love gaming in general

[@steve36207]

@Matropolis I've heard abit of astro bot bud, I might have to look at that when I get Tyler's ps5 when he goes to uni. Nostalgia.... costs us loads of money but it's the best drug ever 🤣🤣

Wonderboy,toki and zelda ! Me and you have such similar taste in video games such great games link between worlds is such a great addition to link to the past and the 2 new Zelda's are brilliant Really good video mate 👍

[@steve36207]

@ewstargamer cheers Alex buddy 😄👊🕹 link between worlds was the first zelda game I played bud, I got hooked on it, so much fun 😄 I can't wait for the new zelda... il have to though until Christmas 🤦🤣

[@TheRetroMartin]

Cracking vid Steve. I'll always be retro myself (I barely play modern games nowadays) but sometimes it isn't always nostalgia. We are getting to discover all the games we weren't able to back in the day and some are great, some are poor. But there's not much nostalgia when we haven't played it before! Imagine if they hadn't released Monster World IV over here eventually, we would've had a massive gap for the WonderBoy series!

[@steve36207]

@TheRetroMartin your spot on there mart buddy 😄 2 of my fav shumps are time pilot and zero wing and I'd never played them back in the day 😄

[@Pjvenom1985]

[@garygillgaming]

I totally agree that Nostalgia will always win regarding Retrogames vs. Modern games. I do like playing modern games, but like you, it's finding time to play. I remember the game shop in Blackwood and purchased a few games from there. Thanks for sharing your memories. 👍🕹

[@steve36207]

Soft centre was awesome bud wasn't it 😄 I walked past there on Friday and loads of old memories came back 😄 I'd love to have more time to play modern games, I could of defo put 100s of more hours into breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom 😂

[@GoodwinsPlace]

Agree mate, the nostalgia does it for me, I don't even have to play the games just having the boxes and some of them on display is better than having fancy paintings on the wall. I wouldn't even say I have a modern games collection, I just buy the occasional game to play when I have some time in the house.

[@steve36207]

@@GoodwinsPlace spot on craig buddy, I love just sitting in my little corner and looking at my stuff, 99% of it has got a memory attached to it 😄🕹👊

[@retrotap]

Nice one mate. You pulled out some great games there. I have played BOTW - I had a long flight and managed to play quite a bit. Haven't really picked it up since though - just because of that time thing. That's the key reason I don't play modern so much really, time. Other than Ultimate Team which I seemed to make time for, because I was bloomin' addicted to the collecting side of it. So maybe time isn't a good excuse really haha.

[@steve36207]

@retrotap lol your spot on Richard buddy, I always say I havent got lots of time but I found about 500 hours to put into breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom 🤣

[@bluetonic78]

That's it Steve, memories - walking into that room and seeing the games on the shelf and being instantly transported back to that era of our youth, friends, family, what shops we bought them from etc - that's what it's all about. Modern gaming is something I enjoy although I'm far choosier than I used to be when it comes to buying games. I've accepted most games aren't really for me but some very much are and when that's the case, I'll pick them up.

[@steve36207]

@@bluetonic78 totally agree Alex buddy 😃 I love just picking a case up and a load of memories and feelings come rushing back 😃👊 its a shame they can't bottle that nostalgia feeling. Im exactly the same with modern games, if someone says though that it reminds them of wonderboy them im all over it 🤣 hope all is well buddy 😃👊

[@stewsretroreviews]

Hey Steve, the great thing about Retro is, we were all kids at the time, going down the shops to Wh smiths and Wollys etc to buy games and going round to our school mates to play those games, and swapping them too 👍 😂 Life was certainly easier back then as you said mate, but some modern games are still amazing to play, and with so much variety to choose from including some of those old classic Retro games 😊 Also depends what your into as well Steve mate 🙌 I like both, and enjoyed this mate 👌

[@steve36207]

Cheers for doing this Steve You made some fantastic points, I absolutely love the part of modern you were talking about, all those modern collections, remakes and new retro inspired stuff is fantastic, I'm all for that and that forms the majority of my modern collections I'd say Also agree about BOTW, absolutely brilliant game 😍 I'd always choose retro whether it's actual retro games & consoles or retro on a modern one, nothing beats nostalgic memories That said some modern games are fantastic 🤣👍

Totally agree james buddy... and without the retro ones we wouldn't get the modern ones 😂 I absolutely loved botw bud, I'm just gutted I didn't have the time to put another 300 hours into it 🤣👊

Great vr Stevie but, firstly we need to address the ‘little short Hulk’ I will have u know I am 5’6”…in some countries that’s lanky!!!! 😂 I watched this on tv so forgot to comment. Really enjoyed this buddy, yeah nothing can compare to the memories, the nostalgic feels but, thankfully we don’t have to choose we can enjoy all 😍 Nice one Stevie 👍

[@Champion2D]

Current games will never be able to compete with our childhood games and systems because of those nostalgic memories. That being said we are still able to love and enjoy current games by their own merits. It doesn't have to be one or the other. And like you pointed out, so much of our beloved retro games are on Modern hardware. Now as collections covering the whole series and not just a singular title.

Such a tough question - the innovation was definitely better back then, cos there was much less to work with and it was all new. I loved the whole concept of going round my mates houses to play as everyone else had all the best kit!! These days - I like how accessible gaming is for everyone, so many options and you get to do modern and retro gaming... there are still some cracking games out there that hook me for hours (modern Zelda is definitely in there for that!).... and yes, I don't have enough time for it all. KZbin channels each a whole bunch of time too! 🤣

I don't do modern gaming, Steve. The last "modern" game i bought was GTA Vice City. When was that? 20 year's ago? Yeah, strictly 80s & 90s for me.

I was only talking about Zelda earlier. I played them in the 90s round at an old stoner friend's of mine. He loved Zelda and Final fantasy. He was obsessed with em. I don't think id have played them if it wasn't for him, but I'd still sit for hours playing them.
