The Saturn. It's the most timeless of the 3.

PSX.
Sony has been winning every single generation since they started making consoles. Absolutely no reason to buy any other console brand.
Get fucked

>>384127112
PS1 hands down

>>384127112
why would anyone pick anything other than playstation i mean is this a joke

n64 had like 3 games total

>>384127112
I'm two

>>384127301
N64 had a small amount of great game, PS1 had a large amount of mediocre and shitty games. PS2 is where the console really started to shine; PS1 was a piece of shit.

>>384127112
the one that has metal gear and resident evil

>>384127112
Probably Saturn. Less games but I like what it has.

>>384127467
>>384127318
discard contrarian opinions

i had one it had basically zero games

>>384127382
If you enjoy JRPG's, then the PS1 had so many great games.

>>384127112

The PlayStation was fucking amazing when it came out and the following year it got FFVII, Blood Omen and SotN, three games that would go on to inform my favorite series and overall taste in Vidya for the rest of my life.

So...yeah. PlayStation.

>>384127382
Here's to (you)

PS hands down.

>>384127112

Literally the easiest choice I've ever made in my life.

PS1.

>>384127112
Anyone that says anything other than Playstation is a delusional Nintenbro or the worst kind of contrarian.
The N64 was fine, but it's not even close to the Playstation library wise. The Saturn fucking sucked, people just pretend to like it now to have obscure "refined" taste.

>>384127382
PS1 had way more great games than N64 though. The fact that it has a huge amount of shovelware is irrelevant, you'll never actually play those games.

What do you even do with the N64 when you're done with Mario, Zelda and F-Zero? All that's left is Ogre Battle and if you're desperate some Rare games.

If I were in the mindset of someone from 96 I would go with N64. The snes was an amazing console and had a great variety of games. Mario 64 looked absolutely mind blowing and I can't remember anything special for ps1 in 96. I think Crash bandicoot was thete only big title.

>jrpgs
PSX
>everything else
N64

I'd probably go with the 64 again.

>>384127382

>Metal Gear Solid
>Symphony of the Night
>Final Fantasy VII-IX
>Blood Omen and Soul Reaver
>Resident Evil 1-3
>Tekken 1-3
>Soul Edge
>Legend of Dragoon
>Chrono Cross

I mean Jesus, the list is fucking endless. The PS1 still has one of the best libraries of all time, if not the best.

As someone who went through this choice in 96.

It was impossible to get a N64 unless you pre-ordered. It was sold out everywhere and since eBay was still not a reliable option yet (and no online shiopping in general), you were pretty much stuck.

I don't know about others, but the Saturn did not have a lot of shelf space at most of the places I went to, mostly because there was next to no games on it outside sports titles and a few platformers.

I did want a N64 with Super Mario 64 that year, but got a Playstation with Crash Bandicoot instead (Mostly because it could be found easier and was also cheaper). In retrospect? I am glad I got it and Crash was a good alternative. Played the shit out of it.

Can't play Parasite Eve or Persona 2 on the others so give me my PS1 like I had in the 90s

>>384127112
When I was a kid I picked the N64 but if I could choose again based on what I know now I'd probably pick the Playstation.

>>384127785
back to gaia kiddo i can smell it on you heh you think your pretty smart trying to fit in huh well ill let you in on alittle clue....we can tell heh you could say we can taste it so how about you head back over to your happy place and let the big dogs talk

>>384127112
8 year old me chose the PS, he was right, especially when decades later older me bought a Saturn.

N64
>Banjo-Kazooie
>Donkey Kong Country
>Mario Kart 64
>Conkers Bad Fur Day
All games I have fond memories of.

At the time I would probably pick the 64, because I liked my Game Boy.

With my knowledge now, probably the PlayStation, but it and the 64 were both pretty fucking lame. Saturn's JP library has some cool looking stuff but I still have never owned a Saturn to see if it actually is of any worth. Going off the other two, I don't expect it to.

>>384127876
All of those games suck, they don't even have mayrio in them.

A shitload of 7/10s Spyro, and MGS. No good multiplayer game to fill the void and also only 2 player

Super Smash Brothers is an EASY 1000+ hours playtime guaranteed out of every Nintendo console for me and it has no equal on Sony.

In 1997 I'll pick up the PS and in 1998 the N64 :^)

PS1, it has games and games and games and games and games and games, it has more quantity and quality

N64 is the 'parents fucked up' option but it has a few good games and is perfect for playing with friends

>>384127350
>PS3
>Vita

>>384127785
Tomb raider also came out too. That was also a system seller.

>>384127112
Assuming I have the benefit of hindsight, PSX is the correct choice. I'll build up that brand loyalty and jump straight in to a PS2 giving me access to both the largest and greatest library of games for any console in history, both East and West.

>>384128091
PS3 won the generation.
It has the best library.

>>384127301
n64 has one of the most disproportionately small libraries for a major console, but clearly this isn't necessarily a bad thing as its fondly remembered

N64 since it already had Mario 64 and was way more well equipped for 3D games, Saturn and Playstation simply couldn't compete and in 1996 its what I'd be looking for.

>>384128165
If that's the metric than the PS4 nor Vita nor PSP are even close to winning

>>384127350
Except the PS3 and PSP and Vita oh wait that's half of their console lineup

>>384127552
That's not true at all. Ignoring all the Saturn exclusives people always bring up, multiplatform games were a thing even back then. So you could Resident Evil, Megaman X4, Megaman 8,
Super Puzzle Fighter. Games people bring up in PS1 recommendation threads

DOS :^)

The ps1 was also easily hardmoddable for 60 bucks.
Afterwards, every other game costs the same as a clear CD.
I must have had several hundreds of ps1 games

>>384127112
I pick the same thing I picked back then: N64

>>384127876
Most of those games are on the PC or Dreamcast and run much better.

>>384128201
Nintendo has always had small libraries from the N64 onward.

Lets be real, most of the SNES that weren't nintendo were pretty mediocre at best.

Playstation was a shovelware platform, which isn't a bad thing, you just had to dig through a ton of shit to figure out what was decent.

>>384128226
>>384128228
360 had fuck-all. Nintendo had Nintendo.
PS3 had plenty of good games.
The DS probably had the best library but not by far, PSP's is great as well and hardware wise it's a much better console.
Vita was the only failure.

Those weren't options.

>>384128308
All those fucking movie, cartoon, and sports shovelware titles were horrendous on ps1. There were like 40 alternate sport games that sucked ass.

If we're talking sheer exclusive games than the PS4 loses to the only console that even tried this gen. (Roughly 5 games aren't pictured here but there's also 3-4 non exclusive games in my pile at the bottom)
PSP is good yeah but you're right loses to the sheer PS2 level content of the DS
Vita is good for what it is but gets destroyed by the 3DS on most metrics
>360 had fuck-all
Yes, and the Wii, it's the other worst generation in gaming along with this one. PS3 might have won in hindsight but somehow I doubt somebody who bought one day one has as high an opinion of it.

Playstation. N64 just came out and has like 2 games

>>384128303

The Dreamcast was much later and PC wasn't terribly viable for most people, not like it is today and the PC ports were often worse.

I will agree that the Dreamcast version of SR was the best overall, though. I still replay that via Emulator sometimes because the PC version doesn't hold a candle.

>>384128538
The seventh gen was perhaps one of the worst gens.
Maybe it was ok for nintendo with the wii, but for MS and sony it was terrible.

Nearly every game that mattered was available for PC, and unlike the current gen that at least try to catchu up the graphics, the seventh gen had a terrible performance on every game.
It was the rise of DLC and muh boring cinematic experiences, while decent franchises were on a nosedive

>>384128817
Nice collection. I fuckin love my wii u

I had an N64, but now I'd probably go with PS1 since Resident Evil is my favorite series. actually got introduced to it with the N64 port of RE2.

Depends. If I go back to being a kid at the time, N64 would be better. If I go back as my adult self now, PS1 is the best choice.

N64. Yeah, games were expensive and I do miss out on FFVII but I can play FFVII a lot better than any N64 game, and beyond FFVII I can't think of anything that's really worth it, whereas the N64 has things like Zelda, SSB, SM64, MK64, and some of the best FPS games for the time.

Are you serious? Because if you are, you're actually retarded.

OoT is inarguably one of the most revolutionary games ever made and we will literally never see a game more influential than it.

>>384129747

If you don't enjoy ANY of the games in that list or the one he referenced, I'm genuinely curious as to what kinds of games you play. There's everything from RPGs to action/adventure to racing to fighting games. How can you possibly not like a single game on those lists?

Like, do you just like sports games and FPS?

ps1 because it is one of the greatest sounding players for audio as well as games.

There were so many creative and genuinely """"shovelware"""" titles on the ps1 and ps2. No other console ever catched up afterwards.

No one is willing to put the money necessary to make a half decent ps4 game and risk it on a new idea.

>>384130103
You couldn't chip your PSX in 1996. At best you had that thing plugged into the back port and let you swap discs

Psx. I'm not losing resident evil, jrpgs when they were still good, street fighter, tekken, bushido blade ect ect.

I'd play the shit out of Mario at a store kiosk and stuff like wave race and goldeneye at a friends house.

>>384127112

N64 all day, not even a discussion.

>>384130078

Two things here; one, what does "forgotten to history," mean? Legend of Dragoon never got a sequel or remake but it's still one of the best RPGs from that era.

And two, a huge chunk of the series those games spawned (Tekken, Tomb Raider, Crash, Resident Evil) are still getting releases to this day. How we're they in any way forgotten?

>>384127112
Thinking back on it going with PS1 would've really required going out on a limb compared Nintendo and Sega's own consoles.

I don't know why people think this. Maybe because they believe things have to be in balance or natively oppose one another? PS1 had BOTH quantity and quality on its side.

FF9 alone BTFO of the entire N64 library.

as a person who picked saturn and n64 at the time, i can safely say i should have picked the ps1.

>>384130331
OoT was hardly "revolutionary".
It was a great game that took plenty of already existing mechanics and made it work in a good game.
For truly revolutionary stuff check out looking glass studios, who pretty much defined the FPS genre as it is today.

>>384127112
Saturn because it's gonna be pretty rare in the future

>>384130078
So they're bad because we don't get a Silent Hill kart racer or Tomb Raider tennis game every year? It's ok for franchises to just end, stretching something out until it's been shit for years doesn't make something good despite Nintendo's commitment.

Nintendo 64 because I wasn't that weird, school shooter kid who had PlayStation consoles.

Playstation.

>>384130815

>PS1 had BOTH quantity and quality on its side.
But not at the same time. For every 1 great N64 game there was 1 PS1 game that was as good, and then 9 more which were decent to terrible.

This. It had a lot of mediocre to shit games but it had a huge number of amazing games as well. There were 2000+ games released for the console. The ones that go down as classics for me outnumber the total N64 games worth playing at all by a huge margin.

I loved my N64 but the PS1 had a huge amount of quality content.

Another one I forgot hasn't been mentioned, fucking Tenchu. Fuck that game was cool when it came out.

My dad in retrospect was pretty cool, only one I didn't use all that much was Saturn but still had fun with it.

If I had to choose a single one, I have better childhood memories of the N64 with Smash/MK64/Mario/Party/Star Fox/Zelda, but I think the PS1 is the better system. So if I was a kid again, the N64, but if I'm the same age as now, the PS1.

When was the last time we got a pure FPS akin to those 2? With D44M over a year ago?

If you want really analyse the history of the genre, Half life put together the Quake twitchy combat and Looking Glass world style and the formula never changed ever since.

I will go as far as saying that without Looking Glass and valve, id wouldnt be able to carry the torch alone this far.

>>384131523

From a pure gamplay perspective, I'd agree that SM64 is probably the single best 3D game from that gen.

For me, SotN is significantly better on all fronts though. That game shaped me in a significant way and I still replay it regularly. I feel like SotN was the perfection of something that already existed while SM64 was the Pinnacle of what we could do at the time with the relatively new concept of 3D platformers.

>>384131712
The only thing Soul Reaver has over OoT is the storytelling, and even that is fucked by the copout ending and masses of cut content. Oh, and the soundtrack.
Everything else about OoT is superior.

I have that too. The Wii version controls better, the game wasn't designed for 60 FPS and it messes up some animations, and it's not like it needed an HD overhaul in the first place. I just own it in case my Wii ever breaks.

Saturn, because if I owned one back then I wouldn't have to spend $400 on Panzer Dragoon Saga now.

The combat was weak

The overworld was small, and pointless given there's practically no side quests, the whole game is linear
It's style/graphics aged like milk with those godawful textures
The dungeons were okay but nothing extraordinary
People just will suck the game's dick as hard as they can so they aren't "that guy" that doesn't like OOT
It's a good game
But nowhere near a 10/10 like it's made out to be

>>384132107

Admittedly I haven't looked at prices for that game for years, I was just using it as an example. I can go to any mom and pop and get Metal Gear Solid for ten bucks or FF7 for like $25. Outside of Nights and some bigger multiplats pretty much anything worth getting on the Saturn is $50-60 minimum if you're getting US copies.

>>384132067

I disagree but respect your opinion.

Movement in SotN feels much more fluid, the various forms, transformations and powers change up gameplay significantly rather than just adding ways to shoot at things, the different swords, their effects and special moves make just progressing alter the way you interact with enemies, etc. Etc.

I love Super Metroid but SotN to me is a much better game. The exploration and non-interference gameplay that Metroid pioneered is, in my opinion, elevated by both the setting and additional elements added by SotN that made exploration not just interesting but exciting.

>>384132524
>Movement in SotN feels much more fluid
Movement in Super Metroid is much more rewarding. Momentum is hugely important and learning to conserve it is just as much about getting familiar with the controls as it is learning the level design. It's the difference between classic Sonic and Dimps Sonic.

>transformations and powers change up gameplay significantly rather than just adding ways to shoot at things
The powers in SotN were largely useless apart from getting past obstacles, and they didn't flow well from the mechanics you're already familiar with. The Space Jump is a natural extension of your jump, the Speed Booster is just running faster, etc. But in SotN your powers are all completely different modes of play, playing as a bat is totally different to the rest of the game and you don't really use it unless you have to.
SotN is just a mess of different ideas. When was the last time you used the familiars? Oh right, it's that single time you need to use one to open that secret path. Super Metroid is much tighter in its design, every mechanic fits naturally with the rest.

I'm not sure I agree about the setting specifically (I'm a sucker for sci-fi), but the presentation is much better. I love the art, I love the music and I love the inverted castle. I count those as the things SotN did better.

PSX is a PS2 variant with a video recorder. The first PlayStation was just called a PlayStation. In hindsight, it may be called a PS1 to differentiate it from newer versions, but PSX is objectively wrong.

>>384134107
PSX was its development title and the string "PSX" appears at the start of every PS1 disc. It isn't completely wrong, but it should earn a funny look as if someone were still calling the Wii "the Revolution" or were calling the Kinect "Natal".

>>384133928
I actually had fun with Breath of the Wild.

Appart from that I am currently replaying some older games like Gothic.

>>384133205
If there's something I don't like about the Saturn is the boxes, that logo on the side is really ugly

>>384134107
Except it's not. Everyone that was around when it was big abbreviated it as PSX.

>>384133403

Opinions I guess. I thought the additional mechanics added character and a sense of wonder.

I was never without a familiar, for example. I loved how they grew and evolved as you leveled them up. I loved that the Bat would leave if you transformed into Mist or Wolf but would adore you when you turned into a Bat and, at higher levels, would call more bat buddies to fly around with you -- that's why he became my favorite over time.

I loved that you had swords you threw, ones that had special combo moves, a rod that had different effects when used with different Shields, a great word that summons minions, a sword that grows stronger as it's soaked with blood....I dunno, yeah none of these are NECESSARY and they don't create one cohesive whole where everything fits neatly just so but I think that's what I loved about it.

The game, despite taking place in a single location (or two, depending on how you look at it) still had this sense of breadth and wonder to it. The scale was heightened BECAUSE there were items that existed just to be unique. It added a mysticism and wonder to the experience. It made the world feel lived in. Combine that with little details in the castle (the confessional, the ticking of the clocks echoing into other rooms by the central clock room, etc.) and the place feels alive.

>>384134017
To be incredibly honest I never expanding my Saturn collection until I was in my 20's. And going back and trying to play them (did not try Rayearth or Holy Ark as I don't own them), it was really tough to swallow how badly some Saturn games have aged. I still think it's the single system that has aged the worst of any of them.

Any game on that system that experimented with 3D and wasn't Panzer Dragoon is very tough to swallow for me. And the others that are mostly pixel art didn't impress me.

>>384134509

Yeah, I abbreviated it PSX when I was a kid, before the actual PSX console was announced. Dunno where I picked it up but that's how people abbreviated PlayStation back then.

>>384127112
N64 because 7 year old me couldn't appreciate the PS1's superior library on account of my ADD-addled brain hating loading screens. It took until emulation until I got into PS1 games. There's definitely plenty of great games on the N64, more than enough to justify enjoying it, but going back to the PS1 with the benefit of modern technology it's better in hindsight.

>>384127112
I had (and still have) a Sega Saturn. Of the three consoles, it had the most good games.

The Nintendo 64 was crippled by Nintendo's insistence on staying with cartridges. That eliminated load times but it also limited the games as this was about the time that games required larger storage capacities due to higher resolution graphics and 3-D worlds.

The PlayStation had the most games but, for whatever reason, I didn't find any of them fun. A friend had a PlayStation and had pirate practically every game in existence but nothing interested me. He eventually repeated the process with the PlayStation 2, pirating nearly every game in existence, and it wasn't until Grand Theft Auto: Vice City that I finally found a PlayStation game that I thought was awesome.

Hardly. The vast majority of space on CDs was used for voice acting and FMVs. Once that shit is trimmed out, you can easily fit the majority of PS1 games on an N64 cartridge.

>>384135065
N64 has around 350 games,Saturn has 700 and PS1 2500.The Saturn US library had only around 200 games.

If you like SRPGs, you should give Dragon Force another shot. It's pretty much a more complex, deeper competitor to Ogre Battle.

>>384135065
Yeah, Sega in the mid-90s was purely incompetent. The American branch and the Japan branch were in-fighting (which is why we never got a true Sonic game on Saturn), and the head of the American branch, for some reason, thought weeb games were too niche to localize. Meanwhile, the PS1 had a JRPG renaissance spearheaded by Final Fantasy 7.

>>384135519
Nah, X-treme was all on STI for being retarded. The urban myth about Naka being mad that they used the Nights engine was debunked. The problem was that they for some reason decided to develop on PC, which led to their alpha builds being complete ass on the Saturn because they were so unoptimized. The biggest problem with that was the guy in charge of overseeing development was more interested in his Mary Sue fapbait imaginary girlfriend than in actually making a good game. But most of the stuff involving Sega as a whole, like the fucked Saturn architecture, lack of localized games, early launch and existence of the 32X, were all SoJ's fault.

>>384135658
Source is from Stolar himself in an interview, and while you can argue Stolar wants to just make himself look better, pretty much everyone in charge of SoA has unanimously agreed that SoJ is run by braindead incompetent morons.

In the Genesis days they got away with it because they were able to both develop games focused on western audiences and rip a bunch of western third party support away from Nintendo, but they weren't able to do much of either with the Saturn and when Stolar said he wanted more localized games to fill out the library SoJ said no.

Sakura Wars probably could've been fucking huge in the US if SoJ weren't retarded.

What is this picture even trying to imply? That a hybrid Saturn/PlayStation controller would have a shit d-pad? It doesn't make sense, since Sony d-pads are usually pretty good. And the Saturn d-pad is the greatest of all time. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never actually used one, and just assumes because it's disc-shaped it's automatically shit like the 360 d-pad.

N64 hands down. I made a lot of friends playing that console and we had a lot of fun making tournaments. Now a days we just have LAN parties or bust out the 3ds.

The PS1 obviously

It was a step down from the Saturn in every possible way. It was excessively big and blocky. The only good thing about it was going to a familiar cross shape.

>>384127437
N64 had Resident Evil though

>>384138104
I'm pretty sure those images were made for baiting purposes only.

>sports games and FPS
But there is one FPS and one TTP arena shooter on that list. And PS1 had all sport games that matters. He is just shitposting.

>>384139030
Resident Evil 2 and not 1 or 3

>>384137231
Dude the only good thing about that controller is the triggers, expansion slots and comfort.

Other than that the controller falls flat on everything it does.

1 analog where as all other console that gen had 2 and even the ps1 ended with a controller with 2.

missing 2 extra trigger buttons that sony and xbox had, even GC had 1 more still. Also missing select button.

Dpad is spongy as fuck. Only one worse is the xbox pad.

>more powerful hardware
>when they lost Final Fantasy specifically due to the technical shortcomings of the console, and that's just one example of many

We'll gladly keep the load times and fmvs. We'll keep the games too.

>Most games on the ps1 have had HD remasters or a billion ports
>PS1 emulation has been good since 2003

>>384128165
lol no it didn't

>>384143664
Losing Final Fantasy was due to cartridge storage space limitations, not because the actual hardware was weaker.

>>384135561
Do you even need analog to play ps1 games?

>Nobody mentioning based Armored Core on the PSX library

Sonybros were a mistake, dont even know all the good games their console has to offer.

>>384144501

Only a few PS1 games actually required it, but many supported analog if you had the controller for it.

>>384144294
>Losing Final Fantasy was only due to the fact that the N64 couldn't play CDs due to it's technical limitation of not having a disk drive! Not because of technical limitations.

There are just too much games to name, also no Twisted Metal or Tekken

N64. I love all three, but N64 hands down.

PS1fags talk about their 4000 game library, and then always feel the need to mention several literally who shovelware games from their childhood that are actually shit but they still seem to remember fondly. Also insert generic racing/fighting/JRPG/shovelware game here

N64fags talk about muh mario 64 and muh oot which is only partially true cause there's tons of actual games that have stood the test of time. Some haven't aged well but still if you like platformers it's a great platform

Saturnfags killed themselves a long time ago, but they were the ONLY ones who had NiGHTS. They also had the panzer dragoons and some other games. Ironically, Tomb Raider which is one of the PS1's best sellers was designed for the saturn.

I have friends to play with, so N64.

None of that "okay we'll take turns playing this single-player game" nonsense at my sleepovers.

ftfy

I picked the Saturn before, and I'd pick it again. Some of my best gaming memories were playing those games with my younger brother.

He ended up getting an N64 later on, so it wasn't so much a deal.

>>384127350
Absolutely this. The only thing they lost was 3DS vs. Vita. And even then, I prefer my Vita in some cases.

>>384144767
I didn't say it wasn't a technical limitation, you reading comprehension deprived moron. I'm saying media format is not equivalent to weaker hardware (processor, graphics card, ram, etc).

PS1 and put a chip in it.

N64 can't compete with the PS1 libary.
