N64. But PS1 does have pretty good showing too, Spyro and Crash both had several great instalments.
DK64 and Croc can go die in a fire, though.
>>375748720
Tomba isn't really comparable to 3D platformers, due to it being 2D.

Spyro is edgy as fuck, look at all those sharp edges
Crash looks like a lunatic with that smile and for fuck's sake, he's a dingo which means he will rape a roo's rotting corpse
Croc just looks retarded, but his advertisement campaigning was god awfully edgy (eating Mario and Sonic, burping up hat and gloves)

N64, easy

but that's all it had

>>375749557
>>375750008

Ok, Nintentoddler got butthurt because his favourite faggot italian plumber got owned by croc. Admit it ... Nintenbros dwell on this board like the non-lifers they are, among prominent Nintendo fans is CWC let that sink in, Playstation fans grew up and moved on, while Nintendo-crowd stayed KIDS FOREVER, lurking the chan buttblasted ready to damage control and defend their faggy characters forever. Pathetic.
>>
Where's Ape Escape and Jumping Flash?
>>
>>375749907
I actually fucking loved the way PS1 rendered textures. I hate filtered textures, I love being able to see all the juicy pixels in older games.

The n64 hardware was way better as far as I understand, but PS1 texture rendering and vertex-jumping is aesthetic as fuck.

Preference can't be objective, silly.

I think it added to some games (Silent Hill and RE are good examples), but I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't like it.

Wait, croc was bad? I remember liking it.

Ape Escape is the only good 3D Platformer of the 5th gen.

It's pretty clunky. I did a 100% run for the first time a few years back and while I did enjoy it I probably wouldn't have without nostalgia goggles.

What's with all the hate for Croc?
>>
Are there any decent PS2+ era ones that can easily be emulated/has a PC port?

Tried Ratchet and Clank but it lagged to much on my toaster.
If I'm gonna be honest I find a lot of fifth gen 3d platformers to be too slow to be all that enjoyable. For me it needs that 60fps to feel satisfying.

Just looked and the disc looks OK. Only got it in an auction the other year though.

>>
>>375748418
Everything on the ps1 was inferior to Rareware titles.

Sony only had mediocre titles but more of them

But these fags would probably even defend Glover as the best plattformer if it had been sony exlcusively just because they have been starved on good games

>>375748418

Out of the games from that gen:
Mario > Crash > Spyro > Banjo > DK > Croc

So N64 has the GOAT but PS1 had the better lineup overall.

>>375754260
Was really just pointing out the series in general
>>
Donkey Kong 64 could have been as fondly remembered as the Banjo games but the color-coded banana system makes it a fucking chore to play.
Super Mario 64 is fantastic, of course. Too bad about the camera.
I love the Banjo games but they're much more adventure than they are platformer. The same can be said about DK64.

Never played Croc.
Crash is solid and I really enjoy it but it offers little variety and can get repetitive quickly.
Spyro is good but kind of boring. I've only played the first one though. But I 100%'d it so I must have enjoyed it.

There's not a whole lot of really good N64 platformers but there are a few gems that are definitely worth playing. As for PS1, I wouldn't say I'm really in love with any of their platformers but there's a lot more of them and a lot of them are really good. If I'm going to pick a machine based on platformers, it's going to be PS1.

AE was better than all of those PlayStation games, and DK64, and maybe even Banjo .

I must ask, how did Nintendo fans back then deal with the fact that SM64 never got a sequel, but Zelda, Banjo, Crash, and Spyro had sequels?

Meanwhile, Mario Party got 2 more games.
>>
Can anyone name a more overrated company than Rare?
>>
>>375757647
Nintendo.

I never got into Banjo. Rented it once and that is about it. Thought it was alright but not worth another rental. I fail to see how people think it is among the greatest games.

Mario 64 is pretty great though.

Crash is alright, and I never played Croc or Spyro.

Crash is a platformer. You can collect boxes but they aren't essential to beat a level.

It's pure nostalgia, if anyone who considers it the best game ever played it today they'd realise it's not special. It's still a fun game for kids though.

Came here to post this since it's 1000 times better than Croc.
Don't even know why that piece of shit is even in the OP

PS1 platformers besides Crash 2 and Spyro aged like shit, whereas just Mario 64 and BK can easily carry the entire genre by themselves.

Also it's fun to see, looking back at old gameplay videos, how much more visually appealing N64 platformers were compared their PS1 counterparts.
>>
>>
>>375758913
I replayed both not so long and they're still amazing.

They should remake DK64, but instead of having to go to barrels to change characters, you can do it by pressing a certain direction on the D-Pad for each kong, so long as you're on the ground.

Game is instantly 100x better.

Difference is, PS1 actually COMPETES against the N64 in its BEST (read only) genre. Whereas the N64 can't even hold a candle to the PS1 in pretty much every other genre.

How is this even up for debate? I hate post SNES Nintendo and nintenbros with passion, and it's obvious as fuck Nintendo stand at the top when it comes to platformers. The thing is though, it's not a complete blow out, and it's the ONLY thing the N64 has going for it. Compare that to every other genre, where the PS1 fucking slaughters the N64.

For platformers? No? For certain genres like FPS, sure. For platformers? Hell no. It had 0 impact. If anything it was better, since it had a stick. Playing platformers on the PS/DS controllers was ass. But the DS has always been ass, in general.
>>
DK64 was a tech demo, Banjo was a collectathon, Croc was shit and Crash was a tuberunner.

The only good games were Mario 64 and Spyro, I'd say Mario is better because it was more versatile, every level was it's own thing and they changed things up, some levels had you swimming and some flying, there were multiple ways of finishing levels, you had to figure out how to find the different stars and the boss battles were pretty fun. After you played 10 minutes of Spyro you had seen it all.

This, even my normie friends can enjoy Mario 64 too.

I really don't understand why after 2005 every 3D game from that era is considered "unplayable" by some people.
>>
>>375767198
Would the gameplay suddenly be good?
>>
>>375772281
The camera was frustrating even back then, we just didn't complain because there weren't better 3d platformers
>>
>>375748418
>>
>>375773263
This has to be ironic.
>>
>>375773402
Don't you know that graphics and story/lore are the only things that anyone cares about in games?
>>
>>375773703
But none of those games have le deep story.
>>
>>375748418
>croc controls like shit
>mario controls like shit
>crash and croc are linear as fuck
>mario is still shit
hows about
>massive collectathons vs actual platformers banjo DK and speero win

Children such as the one who probably made that image have low standards.
>>
>>375773924
Low standards is thinking Bioshock Infinite has a good story.
This is just meme.
>>
>>375773982
you're overestimating kids

I'm not seeing a single good platformer in that image, honestly.
>>
>>375775902
How much of a contrarian do you have to be to think Super Mario 64 is not a good platformer?
>>
>>375775974
Someone who expected a Mario game and got something completely different that happened to star Mario.

Collectathons were a mistake.
>>
>>375776078
what were you expecting for a 3D mario game? Something like Mario 3D World?
>>
>>375776158
For it to not exist since I felt Mario wouldn't work in 3D. Super Mario 64 proved me right.
>>
>>375776078
That literally says nothing about the quality of the game though
>>
>>375768668
you're wrong
>>
>>375776078
I guess Mario 3 isn't a good game because it's completely different from all the other ones too.
>>
>>375776201
have you played 3d world?
>>
>>375776519
Yes, and it was trash.
>>
>>375776647
What exactly is it about Mario that doesn't work in 3D
>>
>>375776840
3D allows you to avoid enemies by going around them. In 2D Mario, your only options are jumping over them or defeating them.

MediEvil is my favorite game of all time.
>>
>>375754018
Yeah I would've said N64 but thanks to Rayman (mainly 2) I think PS1 pulls away.
>>
>>375749321
muh nigga
>>
>>375777164
I guess that's a flaw with 3D games in general then.

Please don't forget the most important one
>>
>>375748418
The Playstations had Spyro and Crash, and Spyro blows majority of the genre out of the water, with the only games beating it being on generations after it.
So Playstation is the correct answer
>>
>>375748720
My man.

hmm

>>375748418

Funny thing is I actually never got the full game, but I played the demo around 100 times, to the point that my dad still quotes it today.
>>
>>375778519
Have you still not played it after all this time?
>>
>>375764808
Galaxy was also a collect-a-thon if we're strictly talking about just collecting
>>
>>375777280
>mainly 2
but the better version of Rayman 2 is on N64
>>
>>375750076
Wait is this true?
>>
>>375778556
I can't find it at any of the local videogame pawnshops, and I dont think my desktop could handle emulation. I watched my uncle play through it when I was younger so that kinda counts? I just bought a lappy that may be able to run it so I might give that a try.

>Tail Concerto
It's barely a platformer, let alone a good one.
>>
>>375778624
His team submitted a proof of concept of a 3D Yoshi platformer and Nintendo declined it and never spoke to them again. Hence why Croc looks like Yoshi.
>>
>>375778695
It's a playstation game, they're easy as anything to emulate.
Just have a controller.
>>
>>375778975
Already have my DS4 hooked up to it to play new vegas, I imagine it won't be that hard.
Didn't even think to emulate it, thanks anon.
>>
who the fuck even likes spyro?
>>
>>375748605
>fucking awesome spyro
>faggot

grab your toaster and choke yourself with the cord
>>
>>375779182
The vast majority of people who played it? After 3 it fell off hard but the first three can still hold up relatively well to todays standards.

Even though you were a fucking dumbass if you played anything but the American PS versions

Spyro actually controls pretty tight. It feels good charging around into enemies and gliding and shit.

PS1 had better platformers and N64 had better collectathons.
>>
>>375748418
Nintendo:
>never played DK64 so i cannot judge it
>Mario 64 without nostalgia goggles is frustrating with its awkward camera controls and mario's strange momentum, however it was the first true 3d platformer so its understandable
>Banjo Kazooie is an amazing 3d collectathon platformer with tons of charm and humor, and amazing level and character design. however the collectathon aspect may offput some people due to its tedium
Play station:
>Croc has the same camera issues as mario 64 PLUS croc's controls are counter intuitive in confined spaces and for precise platforming segments, nevertheless croc is still a fun plaformer
>Crash bandicoot is amazing despite crash's strange jumping mechanic, and naughty dog really should make more fucking platformers.
>SPYRO IS FUCKING AMAZING. the only flaw may be the levels may be a tad too big with not enough in them, but it is still an awesome experience through and through.
>>
>>375780269
So the PS1 has the GOAT genre while N64 has the dead one?
>>
Regarding OP's question, N64 > PS1 overall

However,

Crash > Mario > Spyro > BK = DK > Croc
>>
Banjo>Crash>Spyro>Mario>DK64>Croc

If I had to choose just based on these games I would pick the ps1. Crash and spyro both got 3 games that each got better than the last, and croc was just a little mistake
>>
>>375762263
Crash looks more like a dingo than a fucking bandicoot.
>>
>>375748418
Mario > Spyro > Crash > Banjo > DK > Croc
>>
>>375748418
>leaving out the true goat platformers
Also spyro hero's tail was pretty cool.
>>
>>375783578
only one of those games was a platformer
>>
>>375764142
its a shame none of the same people that worked on those games are around anymore.

Only thin-skinned liberals too afraid to hurt anyone 's feelings indirectly and obsessed with transparent stories over solid and fun gameplay
