It was originally developed for the N64DD but Nintendo kept delaying it due to fuckery with RANDNET.

Adding a different display mode was the only thing that wouldn't significantly increase the ROM size, increasing the cost of production, or break compatibility with non-upgraded systems.

still higher fps than the sony playshitstation

Should been relevant for 2d monsters only but where are they on 64?

Bro I like the n64 too but that is not true.
>>
>>12633680
But it allowed more simulants and multiplayer maps available in Perfect Dark. It was also required to see the last days of Termina.

>>12633680 i like to switch back and forth between modes.
>>12633807
Indiana Jones with the expansion pak runs at 480i 30 fps. The framerate is so stable they don't even give you the option to turn it off
>>
>>12635623
Too bad the game is fucking shit
>>
>>12633680
>makes your already choppy game run even worse
No it doesn't, just stop running it in high res mode
>>
i dont like the n64 anymore
>>
>>12635637
Is this real console or emulation, the framerate tells me emulation
>>
>>12633680
Wait really? I bought one to play Perfect Dark. I wanted a GoldenEye clone and I wasn't disappointed

Exactly. Perfect Dark ran beautifully.

It's a great game but I definitely wouldn't go that far

I think what we need to concede here is that the N64 is a bad console and all the kids who were forced to grow up with one are coping.
>>
>>12633680
It looks choppy because you learned about it from a youtube in a 3rd world shithole

PS1 has more 60fps games than N64 has games that actually maintain a stable 30fps

>>12636019
Per capita

>>12633680
Perfect Dark
Majora's Mask
Donkey Kong

Are those the only 3 games in the entire library that actually require it to work?

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

>people saying that Perfect Dark ran well
You guys realize that you can clip out of many maps in PD just by causing lag? It skips frames so badly that you can br warped through the clipping of the level, something that only happens in Goldeneye very rarely.
Perfect Dark on original hardware (not even on Hi-Res mode, mind you) runs every level about at the fps that Jungle or Cradle ran at in Goldeneye, and most manage to run even worse.

You can speed it up through two main ways:
>turn the game view to "Wide" but keep the aspect ratio normal, so that the game renders less and has a more stable attempt at 20 fps across the board
>use a Gameshark to turn off the transparent light flare effects which always tank the performance

>>12636124
This is fine as long as you recognize that you didn't beat the game and you had an immensely different experience to everyone else who played PD on N64. You aren't allowed to use PC footage to claim PD ran well on N64.

>Buy an expansion pack once
>Buy a new expansion pack with each game
Oh gee anon, I wonder which I'd prefer
>>
>>12635050
true
>>
>>12636124
The amount of fond memories I have of playing this game 4 player with bots with my friends is insane. We were still breaking out the N64 to play this shit in like 2006 even when we had 360. I want to go back.
>>
>>12636102
Only 2 games, DK64 and Majora's Mask, actually require it. A few, such as Perfect Dark and Starcraft 64, will let you play without an Expansion Pak, but lock you out of a good amount of the content.
>>
>>12636019
What's a 60fps game on PS1
inb4 you link some shitty racing game no one has heard of.
>>
>>12635034
N64 has better and actual real 3D games unlike playstation
>>
>>12636784
Not that guy, but Forsaken on PS1 runs at 60fps while Forsaken 64 runs at 30fps.
>>
>>12636157
Use the high-performance patch.

You know other consoles just don't get this level of criticism.
>>
>>12636157
I've never given a shit about framerate in any game. I just think you're a snob
>>
>>12636140
It came with DK64, you bought DK64 right anon?
>>
>>12636792
Not trying to be that guy but I am sure there is a reason for that. Kinda like Viewtiful Joe looks like ass on PS2. Devs can't get the work done on making a multiplat perfect one every platform. They pick one to be the target and work outward from there. The differences between PSX, N64 and Saturn is incredible compared to PS2 and GC, even moreso PS3 and XB360.

Of course PSX and N64 do have some similarities.

>You know other consoles just don't get this level of criticism.
They do, you're just unable to cope with how the n64 is getting (deservedly) shit on in this thread.

>>12637797
Lolcows and losers don't know this. They just post nonsense and pray that nobody says anything.
>>
You haven't arrived to my truth because you can't handle it"

That's a very self flattering view isn't it?
>>12637843
>>
>didn't play on original hardware with 8MB expansion installed and hi-res switched on to tank the frame rate, as the devs intended
You didn't beat the game.
