My PC runs Super Mario 64 at 1440p and 120fps. I see all the plebs running Monster Hunter Wilds at 1080p 20fps. I must have the most powerful PC in the world!

that's pretty good N64 is notorious for shitty emulation isn't it?

Where are they wrong?

>>726085628
They were correct. Instead of increasing fidelity while making sacrifices in performance we got better fidelity and a huge performance boost.

they're talking about console generations, not PCs

go play one of the tony hawk games on ps2 then project 8 on 360 afterwards and see how shit the performance became and how ugly the graphics were

Ocarina of time has shit image quality and runs at 15fps.
A LttP runs at 30fps.

But there's a clear and obvious reason for the worse performance of OoT. Performance isn't everything in this topic.

They are talking about what makes a hardware jump the biggest. This can apply to both.

>insists that 6th gen was the biggest leap in console gaming...
Well, yeah, it's either the 5th or the 6th, all the others were way smaller leaps but I could understand people arguing that it's actually the 3rd gen which was the biggest leap since it was when things started to look like things instead of being abstract renditions of a thing..
>>
>>726085628

These tards had what? 2 or 3 exclusive events/reveals/first looks with Nvidia hardware while pretending they are an unbiased news outlet.

Why would you watch such people?

It's 8th gen because that was when we achieved photorealism

>Referring to console generations as if anyone memorizes that shit
Dumb bitch. Just say the fucking name of the consoles for the generation. Shit's just marketing anyway.
>>
>>726085628
6th Gen was genuinely a bigger leap over PSX/N64. The 6th Gen is where we see the design choices that have persisted over the past 20 years, and with a jump in tech to enable it. 5th Gen was still far too rudimentary to achieve a lot of things.
>>
>>726088614
It's not that fucking hard to remember. 3rd gen is NES. 5th is PS1. 7th is 360. 10th just started now with Switch 2.

>>726085628
>6th gen was the biggest leap
And that is correct. Not only was 6th gen the biggest leap because of resolution and frame-rate but it was the first gen that could actually produce proper 3D too. Jak and Daxter in 2001 I think was the first game to have Seamless World Streaming, Level of Detail, Dynamic Lighting, Animation Blending... Fucking bump mapping too. 3D games of the past did not have fucking bump mapping before Jak and Daxter, just a bunch of flat polygons. Fucking bump mapping... Crazy how archaic 3D was before the PS2.

On a side note: Current gen (PS5/Series X) is the first time we got games with good framerate since the PS2. Every game up to the Snes gen were 60fps, then we lost it with the PS1 gen, PS2 gen had an increase of 60fps games, then PS3 gen went backwards again, same with PS4, and with current gen we finally got good framerate back again on consoles.

Personally I feel like Fourth generation was the biggest leap.

NES came out in 1983 and SNES in 1990

Thats a 7 year leap in the one of the biggest in technological progress. You went from Dragon Quest to Chrono Cross.

This generation cemented just about everything important in Japanese culture today. All the foundation blocks for all the Isekai, spells, skills, character archetypes, deisgns and everything else was made in this generation.

I know a lot of people feel Sixth one was the big leap but I feel like by that time PCs already had surpased consoles by leaps and bounds. The PS2 launched in JP on 4 March 2000.

By March 2000 PC already had

Half-Life
Quake 2
System Shock 2
Unreal Tournament
Planescape:Torment
Everquest
Alpha Centauri
Homeworld
Age of Empires 2
HoMM 3
Fallout 2
Baldurs Gate
Blood 2
Starcraft
NFS 4

Like all the things the Six Generation was famous for was already basically normal on PC.

Meanwhile there was nothing like the Fourth generation Consoles anywhere on the planet. They gave birth to entire new game play types that were never seen before.

Yeah, the 3rd to 5th generation of gaming was insane, they shaped the industry of today harder than the 1st and 2nd generations did. 6th gen was just everything maturing, it's all been on decline since the 7th generation.10th generation will be the collapse and rebirth of gaming.

If you were the top X hardware outlet and Nvidia invited you to get first scoop on the next gen videocard, would you say no? Not even implying a fan boy, it's literally exclusive content coverage for you.

I think there is a lot to be said about how 6th gen was just a straight upgrade over 5th. Literally everything 6th gen did, it did better than the 5th gen.

Not true with 4th to 5th, a lot of big name franchises of the day flubbed their transition into 3D and there were a ton of growing pains as people figured out how to make 3D games work. As a result 5th gen is plagued with shit controls, shit mechanics, shit performance, shit cameras, and a visual style that often looked worse than the 2D counterparts. Take fighting games for example, 2D fighters looked and played better than their 3D counterparts for pretty much that entire generation to the point that "3D fighter" got a bad reputation.

Your graphics got better in 6th gen, your controls got better in 6th gen, your performance got better, developers had a much better idea about what worked and what didn't, and as a result games, almost universally, got better. Its hard to find a single area where 5th gen was was superior, RPGs got better in 6th, fighters, racing, you name it, 6th gen did it better. So 6th gen was not only a huge leap but it was a graceful one and that's not something you can say about any subsequent generation.

I think the only other generation to consider here is 3rd to 4th, that was a similarly graceful leap but I'd argue it wasn't quite as far as the leap from 5th to 6th. Everything got better, but you went from games with 8 colors on screen at a time to 32, I mean yeah Super Mario World looks better than Mario 3 but its not as huge as the difference between Smash bros and Melee.

how is it not 5th gen with the 2D to 3D jump

this is a retarded question with one very obvious answer, posed to frauds who have no technical expertise whatsoever and who determine the resolutions of games by opening screenshots in paint
