It's a good console but don't kid yourself that it gets a disproportionate amount of praise considering that Genesis and even TG16 were about equally good.

SNES is like the best console ever made homeys. It's games aged well as fuck and there were both Nintendo classics, Square & Enix in their best era, and tons of 3rd parties when they were a lot less concerned about pleasing normies because normies didn't care about vidyagaems before PS1 and it's normie marketing.

And you can play all PS2 games on PS3 fat (or PC but that's another story), but it doesn't make it less of a failure.

That is the case with the N64 though, people remember it because they replayed the same 5 games all the time (all the console had)
>>
>>384166736
>>384166903
Depends what genres you like. If you hate JRPGs and platformers but like arcade-like games then TG16 easily matches or exceeds SNES.
>>
>>384166905
Sonic Dreamcast games sucked ass. They ascended to legendary status because they're nice to see on gameplays for their kinky music and colour graphics, but they're really, really bad to play. Worst 3D platformers after Crash Bandicrap. I regretted so much buying an old DC and those games.

360. The original models of PS2 or SNES didnt have a 60% fail rate

>>
>>384167445
It's a 3D platformer, only an unoriginal and shitty one (yes, the first three were crap). The first one is actually a candidate for worst game ever, the 2nd and 3rd are slightly better but still awful. Retards think they were "hng hardcoor cause they hard" while they only had loose crappy controls and sketchy physics that made them hard. And a platformer whose controls feel like shit is already a failure.

Street Fighter II's conversion on SNES is very overrated. It's the most slowdown ridden version, the arranged soundtrack is very inconsistent in quality, is censored, and is missing features in the other versions (yes, even Turbo).

The Genesis version would literally be perfect if it wasn't for the crackly voice-overs and the slightly poor color palette choices (a mod actually fixes the latter). But in terms of gameplay, it's perfect. Same with TG16, which has its own strengths and weaknesses. But SNES is the worst version when it comes to gameplay.,

It's pretty objective that Crash, Spyro, Final Fantasy 7 to 9 and early Resident evil were crap. I agree about ps1 having good games, but the most praised ones which are recognized as """classics""", have been mistified by Sony shill press and retarded kids who think everything they played as children was gold. That's the mindset of most fake nerd normies who infest game communities like /v/ or Gamefaqs actually.

It's not objective, that's only in your contrarian nintenbabby head, as soon as one of those games gets ported to a Nintendo console (like with RE2) it's suddenly renowned and good.

The fact is that N64 was the nostalgia console of kids that missed out on everything cool that generation and every try to undermine the PS1 comes off as bitter self-deception and buyer's remorse
>>
>>384168036
You're right. It's more of a 3D platformer because Mario 64 was simply a masterpiece which would define 3D gaming in it's whole and limiting it to a genre definition doesn't really express how great it was.


And Crash's graphics actually look like they were rendered on an MS-DOS PC.

Crash games are technological marvels that have fair but challenging difficulty for a kid, they are linear but promote replayability with gems and 100%ing the game, the graphics and animations were better than anything that year, including Mario 64, which aged like dickcheese, the platforming is simple but addictive and changed a lot with every level, the OST was fantastic also
>>
>>384170046
And Mario's levels were open constrained cubes with tons of annoying pop in that kicked you out 5 times before completion.

Not really a point as you could say that for every platformer, but as I said it was hard only for the loose and shitty controls. Level design was a crappy badly 3D transposed ripoff of DKC.

He's true, the Crash games really pushed the envelope for PS1 graphics.
The reason the game is structured as a corridor snoozefest is so they can just stream all the occlusion data from the disc and render a ton of polygons without Z-fighting.

Your explanation of what they accomplished is a little butchered senpai. The streamed occlusion data basically means that PS1 doesn't have to sort depth, doesn't have to do clipping, and has zero overdraw.

It's so much of a clever trick that I'm wary of calling Crash a technical marvel. It's ingenious but at the same time, it's basically equivalent to partially pre-rendering the scene by handing the PS1 console already computed 3D data.

Funny how PlayStation fans always go on about personal attacking Nintendo fans who were bullied, who were excluded because they didn't play the hip games and shit like that, instead of just talking about games.

I guess that's what playing those games is all about, felling less of a loser because you play the trending thing. It was Crash and Spyro in the 90s, it's CoD/LoL/whatever now.

It's the logical next step after running an FMV in the background. I'm totally in agreement that it's technically impressive, but it illustrates that there was more effort put into being a tech demo than an actual playable game.

Insomniac's games were much better at being both technically stunning and actually good games.

>>
>>384171859
I find the Spyro games more technically impressive personally because they looked good despite not being able to cheat like Crash by having the game on rails. Though you could argue that the real secret to Spyro's visuals is the artstyle rather than anything else.
>>
Rayman 2 was good.

>>384171564
Shit son he was just joking
>>
>>384172196
I agree, even though I wouldn't say the Spyro games looked as good.
Insomniac brought that magic to the PS2 too. I don't know too much about how it works technically, but the Ratchet games had some truly impressive level of detail effects, simply because it was hard to tell that it was even happening. In the first Ratchet game you can see the seams a little bit, as certain level geometry swells awkwardly while you approach it, but the latter games managed to cram a shitton of mipmapping and progressive scan into the PS2's pitifully tiny VRAM.
I can only speculate that their work on Spyro, working in an even more memory-constrained environment, was the reason they were able to accomplish that.

The ps2 deserves the praise it gets.
On the other hand, the GC get praised every day for being an absolute clusterfuck. Now that's an overrated console.

The PS1 didn't support mipmaps and getting conventional mipmaps working on PS2 was supposed to be an incredible pain in the arse, so yes they probably had to improvise some kind of special way of doing LOD.

I was one of the people who posted FPBP but I don't actually hate the N64. It's hype rides off the back of a few excellent games that came out at the right time at the right place but the overall library is a total desert.

Your sonic machine has nothing on the SNES...
