PSONE vs N64

ok i was at a local video game store and a worker there said the PS2 will lose to the Gamecube just like the PSONE lost to N64.  He said the N64 had better games than the PSONE and that it was better.  He said can i name 20 good games for the PSONE cause he can name 20 good N64 games.  Whenever i said a game he would say most thought it stunk.  But he said all the games he said everybody liked.  He honestly thought the N64 did better. How sad is that

I must say that\'s pretty pathetic.. but I\'ve had so many N64 VS PSX wars throughout the years that I won\'t even bother.

I WILL bother since I am not fond of either, I can give an unbiased, less-hatred induced response.

Overall - PSX, easily. I could name 50 good games for PSx. ANd I dont think I could name 10 games for N64 I could stand playing.

Graphics - PSX. If you like mud and fog, go with N64 by all means.

Sound - cd or cart? duh.

multiplayer - N64, piece of cake on this one.

sports - PSX

RPGs - did N64 have an rpg?

puzzle - N64

Platform - N64

Overall, I believe N64 has a better ratio of crappy to less crappy ratio just because there arent very many games for it, but PSx has so many games, it beats it out.

I hatye both though.

PSX? I had 3 of them. The only other system I have EVER had break on me was my NES, and we all know that those were crap. I got so fed up in the last 2 years with all this style orver substance in nearly every PSx games, I quit buying the system.

N64? Carts, lack of RPGs. Insane kiddy appeal. Games get tiring very easily IMO. Controller is worse thant he Atari 2600\'s.

Well all i have to say is that the sales say it all - what isn\'t the PSX up to 80 Million now

which is pretty damn impressive if you ask me

Bozco, That guy at the store is a N64 Fanboy!  I just have to name 7 games that N64 can\'t touch.  GanTurismo 2, Tekken 3, RE 3, MGS, PE2, Soul Reaver and MOH underground.   Theres more, but theres too much to list.  I still play PSone games on my PS2. I still like MOH underground!  

Ah.

Overall, PSX by far. EVERYONE, no matter what kind of game you like, can find at least five of them on PSX worth playing. The sheer number of games and the incredible variety are much more palatable than whatever Rare decided to bring out every six months. IMO Rare is a pretty mediocre developer, but having almost no competition worth speaking of on N64, Rare garnered more shine then they deserved to, and will likely not mean so much to Nintendo now that GC has more support. The best two games of the last generation were N64 games, but overall the PSX had the best library, possibly of all time...

No way? You owned 3 Psones also? I owned three. Friggin\' sucked. One over-heated. The second, the cd laser went out. THe third fell and broke. So, wait, actually, I\'ve owned four.

Either way, in my opinion the Psone really won that era, but NIntendo even admits they messed up with the cartridge format and poor third party support.

Sony on the other hand had zero quality control, which meant alot of really bad games.

Uh? Wait? Why wasn\'t the Saturn an option?
Virtua Fighter 2? Clockwork Knight 2? Bug!? Skeleton Warriors? Panzer Dragon? Nights? Virtua Cop 2?  I can keep on listin\' em..

Well, my first one started clicking one day. So I would shut it off, start it and it would be ok most of the time, the clicking was extra annoying, one day it would only play one game, Incredible Hulk The Pantheon Saga, after that day, nothing worked.

My second just up and stopped playing one day.

My Third Was a curious bunch. It would unexpectedly stop spinning in the middle of Gran Turismo, Medal of Honor, et al. But I could open the lid, spin the disk myself, shut the lid and it would most of the time catch itself and start spinning again. Then it stopped woring one day.

SO PSXs sucked.


Saturn was not included in the list because it is undoubtedly better, duh Can ANYTHING beat Panzer Dragoon? Saga? Shining Force 3? Burning Rangers? X-Men vs. StreetFighter? KOF 97? Radiant Silvergun? Soukougarentai? Deep Fear? etc,etc,etc!! Saturn is by far stil my favorite system.

i was so pissed when i got him i started this thread, FF7 beats all the games on the N64 combined except Bond which was a great game
Oh AlteredBeast what were you doing to your PSONE i have owned mine for 4 years and it works perfectly, and the saturn sucked man, yeah its so much better than the PSONE, it sold so many more consoles and the games looked so much better wait NO, genesis was the last good sega console, dreamcast was alright not good or great

Bozco, how would you realize that Saturn was good? You are a Sony Fanoby after all. Read all your posts as if from an outside source and you will be quite mystified on how dumb you sound. I used to be like you with Sega, but I dont force my opinions on others like I used to.

Yes, it is true, some people have these things called opinions. I happen to think Saturn had better games. Who cares that the games looked worse than their PSX counterparts, they played the same, and sometimes better (thank you NiGHTS pad!) , BTW I still have not seen anything quite as beautiful on PSX as the water in Panzer Dragoon, or the textures in Panzer Dragoon 2.

You have owned yours for 4 years because you were either too young or too poor to own one when it came out. I got my upon launch. So old it could play Japanese games with a simple swap trick. Good luck finding one of thsoe that still work because they were made like an Edsel, piece o trash.

If you dont think Dreamcast was very good or great, then you are truly pathetic, or just arent trying to have fun.

Saturn games:

Panzer, Panzer 2, Daytona ONLINE, Duke 3D ONLINE, Sega Rally ONLINE, Virtual On ONLINE, Shining Force 3, Panzer Saga, Radiant Silvergun, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, X-Men vs. Streetfighter (arcade perfect), Sakura Wars 1 and 2, Virus, Deep Fear, Courier Crisis, Shining Wisdom, Burning Rangers, Quake, etc etc,etc,etc, et effing cetera!

Hold on, refresh my memory, did YOUR 32bit console have ONLINE play? Cause I cant remember if PSX did or not, because I believe mine broke.

Eric Jacob

PS - I did nothing to PSX, it just didnt feel like working 3 times straight.

i didnt force sh** on you, i just told you how saturn sucked and psx was better

you obviously put alot of theought into that well detailed response.  :rolleyes:

Eric Jacob

Panzer, Panzer 2, Daytona ONLINE, Duke 3D ONLINE, Sega Rally ONLINE, Virtual On ONLINE, Shining Force 3, Panzer Saga, Radiant Silvergun, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, X-Men vs. Streetfighter (arcade perfect), Sakura Wars 1 and 2, Virus, Deep Fear, Courier Crisis, Shining Wisdom, Burning Rangers, Quake, etc etc,etc,etc, et effing cetera!

Panzer / Panzer 2 - awesome games.
Daytona - 15fps, clipping 2 feet in front of you, no thanks.
Duke 3D - umm, low resolution rehash of the original PC game, nah I\'ll pass.
Sega Rally - Great game. No comments.
Virtual On - Graphically disappointing, played well.
Shining Force 3 - I\'ll take Final Fantasy Tactics.
Panzer Saga - Never went through it,.. heard from many sources that it was great. Looked intriguing.
Radiant Silvergun - The king of shooters.
Resident Evil - Umm, PSX version was much better.
Tomb Raider - See above.
X-men VS Streetfighter - 4mb cart goodness. Bless Capcom.
Sakura Wars 1 / 2 - Never played them.
Virus - "
Deep Fear - "
Courier Crisis - "
Shining Wisdom - Don\'t tell me this is that early 2d game using rendered sprites .. ugh.
Burning Rangers - Never played it, but coming from Sonic Team it should be good.
Quake - yuck.

Here\'s some more Saturn goodness;
Guardian Heroes, Sillhouette Mirage, Six-men scramble, Pocket Fighters, SFZ 3 (best version IMO), Vampire Saviour, Elevator Action Returns,  Thunderforce V (psx port sucked), Dragon Force (yum!), All of the Parodius series, Cotton.. and more that I forgot.

The point of my post? Well, I was just bored, and wanted to comment on some Saturn games. There\'s a flipside to every coin, tons of Saturn games sucked, and tons were great. It was definitely worth having a Saturn especially to import. Sadly, I don\'t have one, but had a friend who imported like crazy. PSX was overall better IMO though.

dont you mean Zero 3, datamage? :-)  Yes, thanks to Capcom and SNK, we got some of the best fighting games on Earth arcade perfect.

I remember when Sega announced that VF3 was going to be released with an 8 meg ram cart!!! wowza that wouldve been cool.

Duke 3D DID have online play though. And CCe wasnt nearly as bad as Daytona USA originally on Saturn.

I guess you could add Darius Gaiden, Virtua Fighter 2, Magic Knight Rayearth, Virtua Cop, among others to the list.
