no cut-scenes

Metal Gear Solid came out in 1998. Cinematic/narrative-heavy games are nothing new

Even going further back, games like Phantasy Star and Ninja Gaiden featured cinematic cut scenes of a type on the 8-bit consoles. It's been a part of the medium since basically the beginning.

It's just not what I think of when I hear retro I guess. But yeah, there's no doubt heaps of exceptions to what I said, just sharing my general sentiment.

Command and Conquer came out in 95? Apparently this article considers PS2 to be retro
