Topic	In retrospect, which was the better console - Playstation or Nintendo 64?
VeeVees 04/28/17 3:24:52 AM #85:	TheBigPuma1110 posted... I'd counter that PSX had quality and quantity...but N64 had exceptionally elite quality, and the hardware was important, too. Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time taught people how to make 3-D games; the formulas they laid out are still followed to this day. Goldeneye made FPS on consoles a thing. First four controller standard. First force feedback. PSX still takes it because, at the end of the day, the massive, high-quality software library wins the day (same reason SNES beats Genesis). But people are underselling N64. Always have been for 20 years now. First means nothing. PS have games like spyro that did a good job following the same formula. Goldeneye is the king of nostalgia goggles. It wasn't good when it first came out and is unplayable garbage by modern standard. I'd say halo is what really made console fps a thing and that's really more thanks to the controller than the actual game. Standard 4P ports is extremely situational and force feedback is quickly followed and improved on. People didn't undersell N64. It's an extremely outdated console with barely anything worth going back to. PS aged much better thanks to a significantly larger library and more 2D titles. --- Rudy sucks <cite>VeeVees posted [p:878060309] in In retrosp...
