Was this thread specifically about the Nintendo 64 and you just posted the wrong image?

Because you would be absolutely right, it was the worst console of its generation and none of its games were even remotely good enough to be considered classics, let alone the "genre-defining" legendary games Nintendo fans seem to think they were.

Fuck off. 3D was the single worst thing to happen to vidya. The 16 bit era truly perfected gaming. Seriously, right now pick a random SNES game and play it. Now do the same with the Playstation 1. I can personally GUARANTEE that the PS1 game will be unplayable garbage.

>not genre defining
on that note, what games did the saturn had that made it better than the n64?
>>
I would say that while the n64 had some of the greatest games of all time on it, especially multiplayer games and obviously Mario and the Zelda's, overall the library was pretty small and theres a huge dropoff from the top tier of games to the rest of them. Seems like only Nintendo themselves and rare could make anything half decent for the console. On the other hand ps1 had a huge library with plenty of unforgettable classics and game changers, as well as many more diverse genres represented.

Meanwhile the Saturn was a streaming pile of shit, and I was a sega kid when this all went down

Nah, PS3/360/Wii is worst era. Every time you picked up a game, you planned on encountering reskinned enemies as baby-easy bosses, if even that; 1st grade level puzzles, heavy focus on the cinematic experience, and about 45 minutes of content. You expected this but hoped for a miracle, which you got from about 9 games from this gen.

I think objectively speaking the worst are the earliest consoles. I mean, the Colecovision, Odyssey, Intellivision, etc. Obviously, they are hugely important to the success of video games as a medium, but like ancient film ( unless you're a gigantic hipset faggot ) it's more of a curiosity than something you actually want to play. In light of this, and having played a lot of stuff from this time period, I can safely say that basically anything that came later is better.

>this is not the console problem
The problem is that the console has such a garbage archetecture that making games for it sucks balls. Shouzou Kaga, for example, got so fed up with the system that he literally quit and formed his own company so he could make his vision of Fire Emblem 64 for Playstation, depriving the system of an RPG it desperately needed and making the next few games worse due to his absence.
>And there is nothing wrong with perfect dark or golden eye

5th gen aged the worst out of all the gens, due to the shit hamfisted transition to 3D. The games themselves hold up from a gameplay perspective, mostly. The visuals are mostly shit, except for 2D games.

I think console jumped the shark with Internet connectivity. Before then, they were true plug and play machines, where (after set up the console) you put in your game and play. No fussing around like PCs (or equivalent platforms before the 1994).

But add Internet connectivity started consoles down on the path of adding OSes, HDD, patches and installations that ruined their only great advantage over PC's.

Ignoring gen 1 and 2, has there been a gen worse than current gen?

I like a few N64 games, B&K and Conker are the only ones that have aged well though.

A lot of people say PS1 games aged pretty bad, but I played MGS about two years ago for the first time and still thought it had a lot of charm to it.

Saturn just sucks because we don't live in Japan.

>>386091883
If you actually believed this, you'd be hailing Saturn as one of the best consoles of all time, only surpassed by SNES and Neo Geo. Saturn had great 2D titles in general.

>>386093363
>Controllers
Saturn's Dpad is literally perfect, and has been the gold standard for Fighting Game dpads ever since. There was a limited release of USB Saturn controllers, and they were so popular that now EBAY is filled with counterfeits. Most third party fighting game pads are based off of the Saturn pad.
>Launch
Only in the US. Japanese launch went fine, where the console actually did very well. At the time, Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA were huge, and Sega made tons of games that appealed to the Japanese audience without thinking about the US market.
>Awful first party titles
No. The big problem is most of Saturn's best games were 2D in a 3D era. Great games like Shining Force 3 go unremembered for this reason.
>Almost nothing but shmups and fighting games in the library
Saturn had a great lineup of JRPGs, Sports, Racing, Beat Em Up, 2D Platformer, Puzzle, and Lightgun games. It also had good console ports (For the time) of Quake and Duke Nukem 3D.

Dreamcast was also underrated and had an amazing launch. It lost momentum really fast, but the Dreamcast's first year was better than the entire lifespan of the Wii U. It's library is still better than Xbox One and PS4.

>>386103723
Absolutely true. Every gen needs to do something significantly better than the last. 8-Bit era added control pads. 16 bit era popularized saving, added more buttons, and had longer games. 3D era added, shocker, 3D games. 128 bit era added online play and media capabilities. HD era enhanced online capabilities and added functioning motion controls.

The only system in the modern era that actually does anything new is Switch. The other two consoles are shit, and deserve to be blown the fuck out for not doing anything new.

>>386105901
Current gen has just started to hit its stride. It started sluggish, but you can’t deny that it is getting better. It also has its share of gens, and with 4 consoles, and beefier Pro versions of 2of those consoles, the 8th gen has at least 3 more years to realize its potential.

No, it just looked that way. Every Mario Kart game other than 64 builds on the prior one.

SNES laid the foundation, GBA took that foundation and prettied it up and made more ambitious tracks. GCN brought the drift physics and feel of the game, and width of the track to 3D for the first time. DS refined the tracks and refined the physics, Wii had fun with characters and new vehicle types. 3DS added new mechanics, 8 refined those mechanics while scaling back Kart acceleration and drifting/items, and 8 Deluxe finished the refinement job.

64? It’s shitty barley animated sprites on a super-wide 3D course with rubber banding up the ass and horrible pacing.

It is shit. It is the true outlier.

Current Gen is 8th gen. Current major 8th gen consoles released are Wii U, Switch, Xbox One, and PS4. Current released major 8th gen handhelds are vita, 3DS and its variants, and N3DS and its variants. Current pro version consoles that offer higher performance offered as concurrents with no exclusive library and not successors are PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

Not that hard.

And before anyone brings it up, no this is not the first time a console had its successor come out in the same gen. It has happened before and probably will happen again.

The likelier scenario is that their eventual successor, not concurrent, to the Xbox One (let’s Call it Xbox Two) will come out with its own line of Xbox Two Games, but most of the games released the first year will be marked as Xbox One X Two games with new cases and banner, meaning it plays in the X and the Two.

Then 3-4 years later, only Xbox Two games get released, and the Xbox Two X gets announced, again no exclusives but games run better on it than the Two...

So the cycle continues. That’s the Only way I can think of MS moving beyond generations as they say, while allowing everyone to upgrade at their own pace and no one being left behind.
>>
>>386106116

>Every gen needs to do something significantly better than the last.

No they don't. They just need to make it profitable and worth getting over the last generation of consoles. It's the bare minimum of making an upgraded product that is compelling enough to get over the last one.

>>386106695

Traditionally, it was basically the release of new hardware which was to compete with each other within a short period of time (1-2 years). Each would have better computing power than their predecessor console along with completely new hardware and the release was clearly not a slimdown or rerelease of a console. That typically would indicate a generation and it was somewhat clear cut how to mark products in a generation.

The PS4 Pro and Xbox One S has challenged that notion because they technically are still 100% compatible with PS4 and Xbox One titles but have spec upgrades without a restructuring or complete rework of what a whole new console would do.

Yes, the difference between 2D games and 3D games are far more significant than the differences between pseudo-3D games and 3D games.
It's like the jump from Doom to Quake or from Galaxy Force to Star Fox or something. Okay, so the graphics in that old game weren't 3D, but the gameplay already basically was, so nothing really needs to be all that different.

You'd have a much better argument with F-Zero X due to how properly 3D those levels are with not caring much about gravity and having loops and tube levels and shit which simply would not be possible in mode 7 pseudo-3D, but Mario Kart 64 does virtually nothing with 3D that could not have been done in pseudo-3D.
>>
>>386111767
>>386114537
>pseudo-3D to 3D
Tracks in SMK were on a flat 2D plane. Tracks in SM64 were on a 3D plane - the topography was sloping and there were, hills, bumps, etc. You could jump down onto a layer of track below, or someone could be directly above you in battle mode. This changed the game significantly for obvious reasons.

SMK already had bumps, and only a tiny handful of areas get much use out slopes.

>You could jump down onto a layer of track below
You could, but the course design rarely has a part of the course going over another part of the course, or if it does, that intersection is usually blocked off.

>or someone could be directly above you in battle mode
Fair point. Battle mode areas, or at least block fort and double deck, actually take advantage of 3D in a way not possible with flat maps.

It's not really about how it affects gameplay though.
I just take issue with bringing up the change to 3D as if it was some monumental undertaking or really innovative idea that required rethinking the entire thing from the ground up, when really for the most part it's the exact same shit with the most obvious changes and additions imaginable.
I mean, the word "re-imagining" was used. That's just fucking retarded.

the 2D to 3D transition was more good than ban for game genres as a whole, and allowed for the creation of entirely new genres that wouldn't feasibly been made in 2D.

Id argue this was since a Japanese company made video games as toys accessible to us so easily our parents knew to buy it for us as children. What? Did you think you were so not casual for playing with a childrens entertainment system your parents spent their money on? Kek.

Anyway, if you don't like that awnser id say 360 and its gen of copy paste FOS games taking center stage over everything was the real problem. Remmeber how it became so bad that the orginal MGS4 reveal trailer pretended to be an FPS game?

The only thing 360 did was capitalize on the new market created by the Ps2. You can deflect attention away from Ps2's original playerbase all you want to but when you get to crunching numbers you realize that post-Ps2, the industry ballooned up to 5x the size it was pre-Ps2. All of those little shits got on the train somewhere, and Ps2 is the only console that sold 150mil or so.

Mathematically both games attach rates are pretty similar. That fact alone proves that FPS wasn't any less popular in 5th gen than it was in 6th gen. And that's despite the fact that if people could only buy one Xbox game it would be Halo: CE, while on N64 it would surely be Mario 64.

A handheld and a fluke. It certainly didn't introduce casuals to general gaming like the Ps2 did, but fuck if I know who was buying them and why. Wii on the other hand was bought by a ton of old people who saw it as a lifestyle-enhancement gizmo because Nintendo marketed that more than their actual games.

>>386133030
Ps2 did have tons of great games and a great library if you ignore the rampant shovelware. I'm not disputing that, like I said I only have a grudge against the Ps2 because of the people it seemed to cater to and the people it brought in. Nothing is innately wrong with its games.
>>
>>386097837
This shit right here. The systems themselves really pissed me off between manditory updates that took forever for a new game you just bought, paying for online on the 360, motion controls being forced on the wii and the growing trend of gritty "realistic" graphics. There were still great games of course during this era that i'll love forever but god damn was this drop off in content.

I wouldn't call Wii a fluke.

I only call DS a fluke because I have no idea why it sold like it did. You could make tons of reasons for why the Ps2 made it to so many households, but DS was just your typical solid Nintendo handheld. If you can explain the sales spike feel free because I can't.

Literally the only good game ever made. Best soundtrack ever too. 100% not for plebs, if you enjoy any game other than this you are a fucking piece of shit nerd kid.

>On PC and N64,not on PS1 or Saturn

PS1 had plenty of FPS games that sold millions of copies. It had a far superior port of Quake 2 compared to Quake 64, it had the Medal of Honor games and of course Doom and Duke.

Quake 64 is actually Quake 1. PS1 didn't have a port of Quake 1.

A consistent 25 is much better than an inconsistent 30, so yes, yes it does.

>>386127660
To be fair, I'd say Gen 6 was generally better than Gen 5. They're both very much superior to what gens 7 and 8 became though.

>>386134604
Nah,the sixth gen had next to no shmups and arcade games were dead after the Dreamcast,its also the moment when videogame soundtracks started to suck ass.

Playstation:
Metal Gear Solid
Suikoden 1&2
Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, Tactics
DOOM
Tony Hawk 1&2

Damn good list of games for a "worst" gen.

I'm not gonna watch the video and give that retard clicks but did he say the N64 controller was good or bad? If he said it was bad he's actually right, and I loved the N64. The joystick was one of the worst ever and it's one of the only times MadCatz actually made a better alternative.

You guys are crazy. This gen had so many amazing fucking games along with the perfecting of online play.

I mean that a fag that obsesses with the N64 is almost always guaranteed to know jack shit about videogames and the fact that he doesn't talk about the Saturn actually says a lot about his "knowledge" about the 5th gen too.

>If he said it was bad he's actually right, and I loved the N64. The joystick was one of the worst ever and it's one of the only times MadCatz actually made a better alternative.
Nah you're a pleb with a worn down stick.

Testing has revealed time and time again that the N64 control stick (when in good condition) is one of the most accurate ever put into a mainstream console

The durability is shit when you don't grease it up, that much is true, but the stick is a actually a bloody good one.
>>
>>386105090

The racing is low tier but it still has the best battle mode.
>>
>>386135661
Nostalgia kid detected. It doesn't matter how accurate the stick is when the controller design itself is fundamentally flawed.
>>
>>386135661
Even on brand-new N64 controllers I always found the precision to be slightly off and I never liked the texture on the top, there's no grip. And yeah their durability is the biggest issue, frail piece of shit stick that needs way more maintenance than it's worth.
>>
>>386135852
>I always found the precision to be slightly off
That's almost impossible. The N64 uses optical encoders which are fully digital - basically it means there's no noise in the sensor. There can be fine gaps in the sensor reading, but they are linear and evenly spaced.

Modern sticks use potentiometer which are analogue sensors that read electrical signals and are inherently noisy.

The PC and Game Boy color saved this generation. If you didn't have either of these gaming machines, you were pretty much fucked in the late 90s.
>>
>>386136126
Then maybe what I actually meant is that there's poor feedback from the gate that the stick was placed in. My movement of the stick and the action on the screen never felt like it was wholly 1:1

The N64 stick also has one other unique characteristic. It's more spring loaded than other sticks - for example, it requires more and more pressure as you push it towards the edge.

Maybe you don't like that spring loaded feel, which is fair enough...personally I think it's one of the best things about the stick.
>>
>>386136218
Gameboy was a gimped down NES chock full of shovelware and PC was historically always worse than consoles.
>>
>>386136294
PC had best RTS, RPG and FPS.
Saturn had best racers and beat-em-ups.
N64 had best adventure games and platformers.
Game Boy had best puzzle games.

PS had a few shit weeb games, and that's why it's the best in your opinion, I'm guessing?
>>
>>386091368
8th gen is worse. So are 1st and 2nd gens if you want to count those.
>>
>>386136218
Being a PC gamer in the 90s was financially ass. Not only was every PC component super fucking expensive back then (particularly RAM) but the rate of improvement was ridiculous.

There was about a 12 months release difference between Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2 but the latter was 4x more powerful, making the first Voodoo immediately obsolete.

The issue with Gen 7 isn't really so much with the stuff it was frontloaded with. From 2006-2009, there was a lot of good shit for all the systems. But, with consideration to how gimmick focused and how homogenized (or just trash) offerings for 360 and wii became after that point, the gen as a whole cannot be considered terribly great as a whole in the context of its bloated 7 year lifespan. If every system was like the PS3 during gen 7 and just became better as time went on; it would be a fantastic gen. But, as a whole it's really rather haphazard and lacking in a lot of ways.

It's still far above the current gen's bullshit though.

No it didn't. It was literally flat. There were "jumps" but that's not actual 3D height. Look at the gameplay between the two, you're clearly not understanding the difference between 3D-modeled topography and a literally flat 2D track that never angles up or downward in any way.

You're kidding right? Playstation emulators are so good they can even fix the texture warping and vertex jittering.

>>386091368
More or less this.

That's not to say there was nothing redeeming about gen 5 but it was that awkward first step into 3D gameplay. Nothing from this era really holds up today and just about every game from this era got a superior sequel in the subsequent. In Gen 6 we actually had hardware that could handle 3D graphics without dropping to literal 15fps, we had the know how to make games with Cameras that didn't clip through the world geometry, we had controllers with dual analog sticks so you could control both the character and the camera.

Unless we're talking about mostly 2D games like SotN, generally speaking nothing from this era plays well anymore. I don't think you should blame gen 5 though, a lot of trial and error was needed. We had a whole new dimension and new graphics technology that fundamentally changed how games needed to be designed. This was probably the biggest upheaval in game design the industry ever faced, this was far bigger than the move from arcade to home console, while old games had experimented with 3D and 3D element this was the first time when you could actually draw the whole game with textured polygons. Obviously there was going to be some growing pains.

As a result Gen 5's 3D games are kinda shitty to play now. The magic of fully 3D graphics has long since warn off so all we have left are the games. I think we all need to accept that and move on.

nah the PS360 gen was more awful
