The games themselves aren't the problem about the rule change, is the change of demographic of the board. All the good users left, and only the shitposters remained + new influx of /v/ and /vg/ kids.
This board had some shitposting problem before, but now it's just ridiculous. /vr/ is dead.

Nah, /vr/ won't go back to how it was in the early days even if the rules revert back.

Becoming /v/-2 is what old rules were set to prevent, not discussing an occasional good game that came after 2000. Nobody really minded when Doom 3 was brought up in the /doom/, or UT2004. Now any possibility of quality discussion is lost because of the rampant shitposting. I think only /vroom/ got better from the rule change - before every racing thread quickly ended up on someone praising RRtype4 and everyone else saying "yep, it was good" and leaving the thread.

In one of the screenshots that was posted here a lot when that one anon talked to him on IRC.
It's disappointing though, the mod was more concerned about ERPing than giving attention to the /vr/ anon. But yeah he said that /vr/ is just a shitposting board so he doesn't care, something along those lines.
You can probably find the screenshots in the archive if you search for "uwu" and "erp", probably the threads where these were posted will come up. (uwu was the name of the mod, really)

The fact that modern games barely look better than Crysis says more about the graphical advancements in the last 15 years than anything else. It looking fantastic doesn't make it retro.
Your argument is complete hogwash, nothing about the word retro "retro" implies a level of graphical fidelity, just a time frame.

It's not gonna happen, 7th gen will be included once the 7th gen kids start browsing 4chan more and more and start demanding their childhoods to be retro as well. It's already happening.
The only way this could be prevented in some way is if younger people suddenly stop caring about 4chan, since it's actually a very old styled site that isn't similar to what zoomers are used to (tiktok, insta, etc), but there's always going to be weird social outcasts I think, so yeah the fate of /vr/ is to just keep getting shittier and shittier.
