Where would you put this division between 'new' and old? Do you find
PS3/XBox360/2010 PC games still eminently playable? Do you draw the
line at anything older than 10th generation? Do you turn your nose up
at anything not released this year? Where does 'old' begin for you?
TBS, anything before SM 3.0, DX 9.0c. That is OLD.
I'd have to think about anything beyond that. Maybe the cutoff is
pre-DX10 or 11? It's definitely about the underlying tech for me.
Also anything that plays in 800x600 or 1024x768 (and does anyone remember
1280x1024?) as a base res, or starts you up in 640x480 and gives you the
option to increase to the 4:3 res of your choice.
If the game is actually even aware of 1280x1024, 5:4, it is OLD.
