You underestimate the power of nostalgia goggles. Good art direction doesn't age though, but also lots of people confuse their nostalgia with good art direction.

I need to put vagrant story on the todo list, I see it brought up quite often but I needed a break from rpgs for a while.
>>12632857
Haven't done enough N64 games yet either but looking forward to playing more. Thanks to myrient & various archive collections I finally have good access to these games.

My most recent pick is one I haven't seen mentioned often, Alien Resurrection. Amazing full 3d visuals and atmosphere, the janky controls don't take away too much from the mood it creates.

No that's the N64 ,PS1 have much better framerate in general

>maybe i'll lie so i can't be refuted!
2D games maybe but 3D games, the main selling point of the console, capped at 20 and never went over while many N64 3D games ran far better an didn't suffer from other quirks like slow loading times

PS1 games launched billion dollar franchises. Even piracy(as niche as it is) couldn't stop it, since it required a modchip and wasn't widespread.

Most PS1 3D games are 30fps, and it has more 60fps games than the n64 has games. Funniest one is Forsaken 64 which runs at 60fps locked on PS1 and only drops below 60 when there's literally more than a dozen enemies on screen, 64 version runs at 20-30 with massive drops.

Tell that to the idiots who say piracy was widespread on the PS1, while also claiming that piracy didn't kill the Dreamcast.

>the playstation aged terribly
and the nes didn't?
i understand some people who grew up with the nes/snes see the playstation and 5th gen in general as a downgrade visually, and i can understand their view, but people like myself basically started on the playstation (5th gen). i played a mega drive like once when i was probably 5 or 6 but basically started on the playstation, initially a neighbours one then i bought my own.

>but there's barely enough polygons to make anything look good!
sure, and your 16x24, 16-colour snes characters are just full of detail, aren't they? you might want to double-check what snes games look like before comparing psx graphics to your /memory/ of snes graphics
>>
>>12633530
uncanny valley, more visual detail can put you in a pit of ugliness. nes level of detail avoids it, psx doesn't. that's the logic.
>>
>>12632876
Actually, it's the other way around. PS1 library has better framerate than N64 in general.

>>12633573
like i said, i can understand how someone might see it like that, but since i basically started on it it wasn't strange to me at all. the mind will see what it wants to see, and that applies to the playstation as well as it does to older systems.

>>12633207
arguments like these don't mean much either, the ps2 is far more capable than the psx, but the psx was not an underpowered system for its' time, technology moved very fast then.
i remember getting a ps2 and thinking that game graphics was as good as they'll ever need to be. perhaps this being /vr/ some might agree with that, but compared to modern games the ps2 also now feels like it was "barely enough", but certainly not at the time. same applies to the playstation, there are many great looking games on the playstation. /different/ looking to 2D games, but great in their own right.
>>
>>12633582
the bigger deal than visuals was performance imo. the ps2 could deliver robust 3d worlds with essentially no catch besides just typical lod and the graphical limitations of the time. the psx can't really say the same. depending on the game you could face severe drawbacks in frame rate or view distance.
>>
>>12633589
sure, they're tied together, the ps2 wasn't just more polygons but that also comes with better framerates, far longer draw distance, larger maps without loading, etc. psx > ps2 was a massive jump, that was the first generational leap i was fully present for
>>
>>12633597
It also come with shitty open world and 3D dead space everywhere...

Imagine being and adult and still console warring like a child....

Anyways I love the PlayStation, I'm still discovering new stuff and games I couldn't access as a kid now. I play n64 a little but mostly multiplayer stuff on the rare occasion me and friends meet up. PlayStation graphics and art styles are more appealing to me

Graphics fidelity is meaningless, those games have a strong style and art direction, even tho the graphics are technically poor because of the tech limitations of the day. Meanwhile now you have hundreds of games with ultra-realistic graphics and they are forgotten after two weeks because they have no personality, in fact the more a game is hyper-detailed the more it often becomes a distracting visual miasma. Mirror's Edge was refreshing in that sense because it had great stylized graphics without any of the useless cluttering of modern games so you still had visual clarity

People realized that realistic graphics make everything look tiresome and generic, giving no room for imagination and the fantasy atmosphere. Video games are for escaping reality, not for replicating it.

It's better than what it was five or six years ago when it was endless sadfag boomers posting about how their childhood had been ruined and the world was awful because Nintendo changed into the rainbow logo for June.
