The PS1 is the perfect bridge between the origin of videogames and the future of videogames. It is platonically the perfect system.
>>12925883This except the Sega Saturn
gen5 in general. it was the perfect storm of the dawn of 3d graphics, 2d peak, controller design peak and a great mix of established genres and experimental games. By the turn of the millenium, even the 3d titles started to look decent. Plus, CRTs reached their peak also in the late 90s, early 00s. Everything within and around gaming at the time pointed towards quality and rapid evolution. All for a good price.
>>12925883If by future of videogames you mean moviegames like ff7 and metal gear, yeah
>>12925883That would be the Dreamcast
>>12925883Problably the only system with no major weaknessIt has literally everything Even the PS2 has massive drawback like the lack of 2D games or that almost all multiplat are inferior versions
>>12925920This.I know 6th generation is retro now, and I have a soft spot for it... but it was the beggining of the end in a lot of ways, 5th generation was simply perfect, it had the peak of most genres and IPs alongside the previous with SNES and the Mega Drive. What a good time to enjoy this hobby it was.
>>12925889Saturn isn't real.
>>12926923According to most of /vr/, not having Nintendo games means the system is worth nothing
specifically, Metal Gear Solid 1 is the point where classic gaming meets modern gaming.
>>12925883the swansong for jrpgs before they turned gay.
>>12925883Not even close. The perfect system is the Sega Dreamcast, which was way ahead of it's time.
>>12925883>platonicallyYou don't know what that word means.
