The N64 is three handedley responsible for the belief that the 5th generation of consoles has "aged poorly."
>>
>>737919541
It's actually genius. It's designed to cater to both 2D games and 3D games at the same time. A 2 in 1 controller. The gaystation and saturn didn't even have an analog stick until 4 years after launch. It was sort of like how snoy and goybox lauched kinect and gaystation move late to compete with the Wii.

That's right, nintendo fell face first onto the scene years late with a controller that self destructs.
>It was fucking weird considering they were used with 3d games
And the games were completely uninhibited because it turns out, analog isn't necessary for 3D gameplay. Relying on snappy d-pad controls kept games agile, deep and precise. Sloppy 3D sticks slowed games down to a crawl and set back 3D game design.
>>
>>737920204
No. People just can't admit it was fucking stupid because of some parasocial relationship with nintendo. When it came out almost every person wondered why the fuck were there 3 handles.

I'm mad that every other analog stick ever made after this has been super short, has massive dead-zone, zero travel to the edge of the gate, and basically have no range discrepancy between 0 and 100.

If you knew what we had before that it was super impressive. The original playstation controller did not have a joystick at all and only got them on Dualshock after the n64 came out and proved that joysticks are great. That and rumbling, which he n64 also had before PlayStation although who gives a shit about rumbles.

Huh? Only one controller on the market even had handles, and it was the PS1, and in epic sony fashion they were never actually meant to be gripped by a hand for some fucking reason. N64 pad was and still is one of the most comfortable controllers ever made.
>>
Your mom has handles

>>737920431
64 has a very small range and the fact it develops a physical dead zone not to mitgate resistance imprecision but due to cycle failure.

>Analog is required for 3D games.
Many 3D games control worse with analog sticks. Tony Hawk and Tomb Raider come to mind. It is not necessary, it is there to facilitate a slower style of play.

It was more influential than mario 64 for its generation. Mario 64 for all the hot air and vague praise it receives has its most apparent influence in some of its weakest elements, such as reuse of content and checklist design.
>Tomb Raider 1 is a masterpiece
Achieved without acknowledging an analog stick. Just goes to show how unnecessary it was for true 3D gameplay.

Rascal had tank controls because Tomb Raider was popular. Granted, this certainly wasn't a case of being "inspired". The game originally had SM64 style controls where the character moved based on the camera perspective. The publishers demanded tank controls because they saw Tomb Raider's success. This fucked both the gameplay and a fancy renderer the devs wrote to fix the PS1 wiggly polygons. This rendering method would only work if the camera remained in-bounds, and they quickly found out the game was basically unplayable with the tank controls unless the camera was behind the character at all times, which necessitated the camera clipping through walls.

There's one or a couple notorious N64 haters that just do this out of pure rage towards Nintendo. I'm not sure if it's becauae they're mad that N64 remains the most beloved console of that gen inspite losing, or because it had better games or what? They never actually say why they're obsessed with dogging on it, except one guy named Auster who was flat out trying to retroactively alter public perception of the N64 and stated as such.

>In their overview of the controller, Electronic Gaming Monthly commented, "All in all, Nintendo has made the most advanced and easy-to-use controller we have ever seen. It is extremely versatile and has enough buttons to take care of every possible contingency, now or in the future."[24] GamePro's overview stated, "The N64's tri-handled controller may look weird, but it feels great."[25] Third party developers were reportedly enthusiastic about the controller as well. Dave Perry called it "the big special move that [Nintendo] have gone for", while Jez San said that "The joystick is unusual looking but I like the controls. The thumb control feels nice and strong and also sensitive."[26]

>Stocks of extra Nintendo 64 controllers were sold out on the Japanese launch of the Nintendo 64, despite the fact that all three launch games are single-player only.[27] Similar results followed in North America; retailers reported extremely high sales of the controllers despite only a handful of multiplayer games being available.[28]

Nobody tied their entire personality and self image into which console they had like they did in the 2000s.

Maybe my definition of biggest console war is different than yours. Yes I'm aware that Sega was super competitive with Nintendo but the fact their very next generation imploded in the face of the N64 tells you it was way less about brand loyalty than it was just library selection and marketing. Meanwhile later generations could be carried by previous ones because now brand loyalty is part of your entire identity

>>737925324
I disagree. You used the wrong language. Console wars didn't really take off until the 3rd gen, and peaked in the 6th gen. Is more factually true than console wars didn't really take off until the 6th gen.

There were full on corporate bitch slap fights between NES and Sega in the 80s. Sorry you were wrong.

>>737925281
Anon, it was starting with the NES and SMS
Then it exploded from the next gen and only increased from then on
I assume you grew up with the PS2 so you don’t understand
>>
>>737925463
They didn't even exist before 3rd Gen, was mostly a corporate bitch slap that nobody outside of the marketing department really cared about during 3rd and became a world wide phenomen known and understood by literally everyone, even those who didn't care, in the 6th. You may think an ad campaign is the same thing as a true social movement but I don't. Like I said, only someone reading articles about the great console wars of the past would think anyone truly gave a shit beyond corporate suits and a few weird autists.

Lol I will say this against the N64 controller, they completely misjudged just how quickly 2D games would become a shunned taboo for the next ten years when designing it. Ironically it was their own game Mario 64 that made "All 3D all the time" the law of the land for every console.
>>
>>737926532
Sure looks like it.
>>
>>737925617
>one
ironic considering dualshocks from PS1 through the PS3 era are the only controller brand that forces you to use two different grip positions depending on if you're using dual analog or d-pad becauae of their dogshit stick placement while every other brand has a seamless transition with one grip.

Literally responsible for the death of consoles and modern game design. Dual analog controls are shit and games should not have pretended that the player can constantly adjust the camera with an analog stick without ruining the game.
>Sudden introduction of potential steep angles or other inconvenient angles during gameplay means that consoles need to use significantly more expensive graphical effects or risk looking like dogshit constantly
>Game needs to be significantly less complex in terms of movement and inputs because the player is busy LARPing with an inaccurate input

You equate a buttons-stick scheme to a stick-stick scheme. Who does that if not a person who doesn’t know the difference between analog movement and digital movement?

Not really no. It was the best controller on the market when it launched.
>>
>>737919541
From the looks of that analog stick, your thumb will have an awful time. Is it more comfortable than it appears?
>>
>>737928254
A Dpad plus analog has a similar setup to modern dual analog controls
>>
>>737928862
Wrong. Dual sticks had yet to be conceived on a major console, and for a single-stick design it worked very well by allowing multiple control schemes across different genres: Stick + buttons for platformers and adventure games, Dpad + 6 button layout for fighting games, and Dpad + stick + Z trigger for FPS and on-rail shooters.
It certainly was a bit of an awkward design, but I think it did the job very well considering the time period.
>>
>>737920023
It literally got gigamogged by Sony less than a year later when they made a dual-stick version of the PS controller. Any and all defences of the N64 controller are Nintendo-kid nostalgiacope, it's an ergonomic disaster and, furthermore, only has one fucking stick meaning N64 games couldn't have manual camera control which is absolutely crippling for 3D games. It's dogshit, period.
>>
>>737929176
It’s fine if a little stiff
>>
>>737929458
1.Needing two sticks was fucking obvious, NIntendo was retarded for thinking you only needed one.
2. The placement of the stick and distortion of the form factor as a result of that makes it awkward as fuck to use..

I really feel like this "it was the best at the time" argument relies on people not knowing the timeline. The N64 launched June of '96, the first dual stick PS controller was launched April of '97. In less than a year it was catastrophically obsolete.
>>
>>737929529
>it's an ergonomic disaster
No, that would be every sony controller from PS1 through PS4. None of them actually fit your hand. It's so fucking weird.
>only has one fucking stick meaning N64 games couldn't have manual camera control which is absolutely crippling for 3D games.
The fuck is this revisionist logic? There was maybe 3 games that used dual analog control schemes before Halo on Xbox. Dumbfuck kid, you weren't born when N64 launched.

It seemed okay. I definitely liked the PS1/PS2 controller better. Gamecube was some autist shit. When Xbox 1 controller came out, and I saw how retardedly huge it was to accomodate the primate-like grip of the normie man/jock/chad/etc who had always bullied me : I knew that's when gaming was over. And after Xbox 1 came out and every Chud was now all about video games and Halo : that's when Flash gaming had its nature stolen by Mobile gaming.

I'm glad to see another resurgence of indie gaming on the PC front, nurturing the starved, deprived, depraved, console gamers from video games that are made to actually entertain them and not just extract money from them.

Burn corpo shit.

No. Sony and Sega were fucking retarded for thinking you needed zero. And then sony only using 1 when they had 2.

the 64 controller looks and feels good i have never understood the shit it gets. the only change i would make is sharpening the handles so you could spin it really fast and throw it like a trident for an opening attack against a opponent. like a trident.

>>737929734
not him but as someone who has never been even 5 pounds overweight, the ps2 controller has always felt uncomfortable hold like its too tiny. feels bad in the palms and like there isnt enough width to hold. anything longer than a half hour or anything where its a fast paced action game just doesnt feel good. if you hold the controller up to other controllers you can see its indeed smaller.

Nintendies defending this dogshit while shtting on the DualShock, which invented the dual stick layout used by all controllers to this fucking day, is peak retrofaggotry. It wasnt better, it isnt better, youre just attached to the N64 from your childhood and feel unable to admit anything about it, including its goofy ass controller, was bad.
