Despite a few initial issues like screen flickering, and a persistent 1fps problem when winning a car, I would say RPCS3 has been easy to setup and the game looks decent upscaled to 4k.

Disclaimer: the image in the post isn’t from my game (its from a wiki) because I’m away from my PC right now.

I bought a red Toyota MR2 GT-S ‘97 ASAP and put some 18” 5 spoke wheels on it. I love this car.

The lack of a 20 minute unskippable intro video, not having someone ranting at me the whole time I try to play and a clear game loop with satisfying progression means GT6 easily dunks on modern games like GT7 and Forza Horizon 5.

Get car, tune car, race car, win car, do the licensing tests and then buy a new car and repeat for the next class. Fucking perfect!

Damn near all my favourite cars are included in the game so modern games offer little more than graphics and claims of a better driving simulation.

I find GT6s driving to be a near perfect mix of sim and arcade with enough options to tweak.

Feel free to discuss what you like about GT6, favourite car/s, other retro racing games and emulators you’ve had experience with. I’m just dropping this post here because I’m so happy with this game.

Call me weird, but modern games suck. The more realistic the game the worse it is. Old games feel like actual games. You can feel the hard work put into them. You can feel the value. They’re fun.

Call me weird

Bro, at this point that is the majority's opinion. Some of the biggest hits in recent memory are stuff like Silksong and Terminator 2D.

Indies still put out great games, even if most of the time they aren't designed like retro games.

Fuck, man. I literally just said the same thing in another comment. Indie games are loved by young and old people alike. They are games, not a money grab. I’ve felt like new aaa games are all the same with different landscapes

Have a ps5 pro, switch 2 and series x(which I think I have like 3 games for) and I just pulled out the original XBOX,SSX Tricky, 007 agent under fire and Crash n’ burn. I’ve been on it for 3 straight weeks already having an absolute blast.

😭 man. I fucking love this shit. I, too, have been playing old games and it’s a blast. The latest one is splinter cell on duckstation, and that shit is so much fun. I have about 1TB of old games and I hardly ever play new games anymore. They’re just not fun anymore.

BRO agent under fire and Nightfire are fucking amazing games. I have night fire on ps2.

And the Xbox golden eye remake. Fucking Rare man!! Great Dev.

Yep, ive been saying this for a while. But I'm also old so some of it is nostalgia however I feel this way for games I never even played in my youth so there's definitely truth to it.

I honestly don’t think it’s about age. Games were genuinely better back then. That’s why indie games are loved now even by younger people. I’ve been playing splinter cell on duckstation and shit is so much fun.
