?
-
Both of course. It's all gaming to me, what I love. I will say I do get an itch to play one or the other sometimes.
-
I prefer good games.
-
New, generally. I occasionally jump back into old stuff if the mood hits, or through like repackaged versions like the Mega Man Legacy Collection.
-
I'm mostly playing newer games, but it's partially because I don't have a lot of retro equipment. The SNES classic that I got for Christmas has been the first time that I've been playing more retro.
-
I find it's a lot easier to filter out good games with newer stuff. When it comes to Retro games, I have to dodge all the "It's technically good but it's really unfair/tedious" sorts of games cause I'm not into that
-
I prefer retro but I play both regularly. Today it was a mixture of PS4 and Atari 2600. Hell if I wanted to I could play Atari ON my PS4.
-
Favorite would be 6th gen don't really know what the majority consensus is on if that is retro or not. That being said I like both newer and older games.
-
I'm a total retro purist. The only disc-based system I use with any frequency is my PC Engine Duo, which I love dearly. Finally got a 3DO not too long ago, but I'm pretty unimpressed and probably going to sell it.
The newest systems I own are N64 and PS1, and I don't even leave them hooked up because I just don't enjoy them. Of course it's all preference, but I just really love gaming pre-3D and whatnot. So much creativity in the games, and game music before CD-based systems just really hits me in the right place.
And truly, I'm afraid to get into newer games because there are still SO MANY retro games I want to play through that I may never get through them all. Gotta prioritize!
-
I love both, but I think I prefer retro games by a hair.
-
I thoroughly enjoy both, but I think I'm gonna have to pick new games. It's pretty simple: I don't have a lot of patience for repetition in games. Nothing will annoy me & make me shut a game off faster than having to repeat the same section of play becuase there's one jump/attack/enemy I mess up on. The longer the section to replay, the more annoying it can be.
Obviously, retro games are far worse at this then newer ones. Typically I only play for an hour or two tops before I hit a difficult part, get frustrated, lose all my lives & have to start the game over- or rather turn it off. New games (starting around PS1 era) offer more saving options, so I don't lose so much ground if I start dying.

I prefer retro but I know that most retro games are vary unfair and most of them, don't let you breeze through them in one days play through. Due to how difficult they can become
The thing with retro games that lacks in modern games is the fact that chances are you won't finish the game right away. but that is slowly changing I think. even though, I am not a modern gamer yet. I think modern companies are slowly realizing on how short people play through their new game so I think modern gaming companies are starting to make games longer.
for some reason I have to say a lot of Atari games are not stressful as most of the NES and Super Nintendo games are

I like both but prefer online games. Esp I love playing League of Legends. Though very few countries block the game, many private networks in offices and educational institutions do. So I have to use proxy server https://buy.fineproxy.org/eng/ . With streaming, downloading, and online gaming it works well and doesn't slow down gameplay.
-
Depends on what you call new games and retro games.
A good majority of my favorite game are from the 5th to current gen, but the main reason why is also because I haven't played that many games from generations before.
At the end of the day I don't really care tbh, if the game is good then that's what matters to me.
-
I jump around from eras and consoles all the time. So, both. I guess.
-
Depends what you mean by retro. I was a PS1 boy and didn't play anything older until much much later so I find anything older (except SNES) pretty hard to get into.
Other than that I don't really care, a good game is a good game. I've got favourite games from all across the generations. Though some older games have aged pretty badly.
-
Either or, doesn't matter if the game is good.
-
What about people who like new retro games, such as Tempest 4000 or New Super Mario Bros Wii?
-

Agreed- it's the arcade style gameplay thing. Basically, if you can live about 5 minutes you've probably experienced all the game has to offer & you're just going for a high score. Knowing there isn't content lurking behind a skill wall makes it so much easier to relax & enjoy what the game has to offer.

Anyone ever hear of PONG or Space Invaders for PlayStation 1? Probably I am guessing you didn't except for the 150 or so people who own PONG and 65 who own Space Invaders. or is listed in their VG collection
-
Both. Games are games, they are what they are. Age doesn't matter.
I'm more concerned with time investments than age of a game. Too many games too little time.
-
Too many games too little time.
Boy oh boy you said a mouthful.

They are really cheap/common games that I see quite often I just haven't seen them for like 1$ so I haven't picked them up.
-
about 50/50 for me
-
Newer games hands down. Retro games only have the nostalgia factor especially since you have indie developers making retro style games that are better made than the old ones.
-
I just like games.
A good game is a good game. It doesn't matter when it came out. Fun doesn't have an expiration date.
With that said, I play more of the older games just for time sake. I don't have hours and hours to dedicate to a new game. I need something I can play in 30 minutes.
-
I prefer new games, esp I'm fond of online games like League of Legends. Main advantages are:
-Free to play
-The characters and lore are great (Koggles is my favorite char)
-Good developers
-New champs released each month
-Competitive
-Easier to get into
I also use https://dreamteam.gg/lol/players platform to search new players and create my own team for a next champion. Anyway I like such kind of games.
