These systems are 15 years old so definitely retro. Gameplay from that gen to the XB1/PS4 gen hasn't changed all that much, so those games don't feel quite as old as they are. 8 and 16 bit games definitely feel like they are from that era with their gameplay. PS1/Saturn/N64 all feel like games from the early Polygon era. Likewise with PS2, OG Xbox, and GC having their own gameplay feel for the era.

Yeah for me personally the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox generation feels like where "Retro" begins. They feel very much from a different era whereas gameplay hasn't really evolved much since around 2009.

Yeah the XB1/PS4 generation was just version 2.0 of the 360/PS3 gen, but with prettier graphics. Kinda like how 8 bit and 16 bit gens mostly played the same. But then again 16 bit games built on what 8 bit games were doing. PS4/XB1 doesn't really build on what PS3/360 did before.
