N64 has more hardware functions like texture filtering, but a lot of people think those functions make the games look blurry.
>>331937562
After all these years we were under the deception of PS1's decorated graphics...
>>331937917

>>331937754
An 'an' doesn't fix your grammar.
>>331938079
That comparison was captured on a flatscreen, it would be better to be shown on a CRT.
>>331937562
2 years is a long way for hardware in the 90s.
>>331937562
Is this one of them 'switcharoo' memes? The left isn't as well lit, but overall I think it looks better than the right.
>>331937562
The PS1 was a 32 bit system, and the N64 was, well I'll let you figure that one out.
The N64 was stronger than the PS1 in every respect, but it was cursed with a shit medium, casettes.
>>331937562
Said nobody never. The PS1 has horrible vectoring and N64 horrible texture quality but overall the N64 outperforms the PS1 with leaps and bounds.
>>331937562

And here's the Dreamcast version.
Sega always wins baby.
Texture warping and clipping problems mean that PS1 games look a lot better in stills than in motion, too.
>>331939205
dreamcast was a different generation
>>331939394
PS1 games definitely benefit from being displayed on a CRT, the texture wiggling is less obvious.
>>331937562
Who even says this?
All the PS1 had was a much better software format (and in some cases, better sound quality)
>>331939205
>>331939394
It's like Silent Hill's trying to spill into every game.
>>331937562
no, it's just that N64 looks creepy as fuck with those low polygon count while ps1 is trying to spice it up with pixels
Why do you think most PS1 games were 2D?
The 3D was garbage
N64 was so good compared to the PS1 but apparently an absolute nightmare to optimize since it required you to write bunch of microcode to do a lot of stuff.
I still look at Banjo Tooie and think it's crazywhat they managed (even if the framerate was kinda pants in the larger levels)

>>331940298
Nobody has ever said that anywhere ever. Most of that is because there is no such thing as a PS1 version of "Twin Snakes."
>>331938690
It does at that level.
N64 definitely was the stronger console, its huge drawback was cassettes.
>>331940430
>my autism was triggered
ok, lol
>>331939205
Looks just about identical to the N64 version.
But the Dreamcast version wasn't better cause of the graphics but higher framerate. 60fps.
N64 was 30fps with dips.
>>331940719
>N64 was 30fps
Try 12, and it was fine. Nobody playing it even thought that the framerate needed improving, it is literally irrelevant.
>>331939205
>>331940719
The only thing I hate about the dreamcast version is what they did to the voices.
>>331938520
n64 games actually ran in 32bit
the only reason the system supports 64bit is because it's a leftover from the N64 using the same CPU as high end 3D workstations
of course the difference is that those workstations used more than 1 CPU and over a GB of RAM so they actually took advantage of 64bit while N64 didn't need it
>>331938520
>casettes
use magnetic tape, n64 used cartridges
you shouldn't be posting here when you know next to nothing about video games, so kindly fuck off

it's you who don't know shit since your only knowledge is from a colloquialism

no you are wrong, again, for the second time on the same thing - embarrassing
a casette is a type of cartridge, not the other way around
casettes are specifically cartridges that house magnetic tape

A cassette is decidedly not a cartridge. A cartridge is solid state, a cassette has a spool of magnetic tape.

LOVING EVERY LAUGH
>>331937562
N64 had more powerful hardware but due to the RAM bus being downsized when the hardware went to retail it completely fucked the texture quality of every game. It wasn't until late generation games made by Rare and the RAM expansion port were they finally able to start to surpass PS1 graphics, but in the end CD's being able to store 100 time more data than cartridges would mean that PS1 games were able to store more graphical data than N64 games.
>>331942034
it is not a casette, a casette MUST hold magnetic tape else it is not a casette
you used the wrong word, you got called out, and now you are scared. just grow up and admit you made a mistake.
again, not only is this a famicom cartridge but it is japanese, not english. yes japan use the latin alphabet, it is not exclusive to english and yes 'casette' is wasei-go here
please stop spouting this ignorance
cassette and cartridge are not mutually exclusive terms. both terms mean "casing".
>>331942371
>a casette MUST hold magnetic tape else it is not a casette
please learn what a colloquialism is
>>331942034
>>331942302
He's right. The Japanese might call them cassettes but they're wrong; it's not like Japs are renowned for their English ability either.
>n64 had better hardware
>developers continued to make playstation games rather than n64 games
how exactly did nintendo lose 3rd party support after the SNES?
>>331942371
um, no.
a cassette TAPE must hold magnetic tape. that's why the term is cassette tape.
we're most familiar with the term cassette from cassette tapes, specifically the compact cassette tape format widely used for music and software distribution in the 80s.
but there's nothing about the term "cassette" that denotes tape, and nothing about the term "cartridge" that denotes rom chips.
>>331942436
>i-it's slang
you are wrong though?
a casette holds magnetic tape, there is no magnetic tape in the n64 game pak hence it is not a casette, simply a (rom) cartridge
>>331942501
they did not. lots of third party games on the system
>>331942371
It says cassette right on there and in English too. What are you on about?
>>331941671
The playstation would never be able to render such straight lines in 3d space without warping and fucked up perspective or a texture as clean as that wallpaper
>>331942315
That doesn't mean anything. Nintendo 64 had better hardware and produced better 3d, without any of the annoying warping (remind how texture used to warp and stretch in playstation games?) or the jittering (just look at the first gran turismo how the cars slightly wobble every so often)
The fact that CDs had much more room to hold higher resolution textures meant nothing because even if they COULD, the playstation didn't have the hardware to make good use of them.
>>331942450
No, the problem is that the know-it-all posters in this thread who think that cassettes HAVE to have magnet tape in them are actually so young they don't remember the time when cartridge and cassette was used interchangeably
It was only later on that a colloquialism was later developed in the English speaking world to separate solid state and magnet storage mediums.
This colloquialism never took hold in Japan, hence why they continued to refer to solid state mediums as 'cassettes'. So the Japanese were never wrong, just that Westerns changed what was "right".
The lack of perspective correction was one of PS1's worst offenders. Super obvious on shit like racing games, particularly the earlier ones which didn't tessellate the road closer to the viewer to help mitigate that hardware deficiency since it occurred on larger planes of polygons.
There are cassette tapes
There are ROM cassettes
Cassette just refers the plastic container.
>>331942547
casette is short for casette tape or video casette etc., there is literally no definition of the word casette on its own in english
in fact i am inclined to believe the usage in japanese is exclusive because it was taken from french, not english, making you wrong six times over
all is irrelevant, as they are not casettes of any description due to lacking magnetic tape.
cassette means "little case"

>>331942762
You're a really annoying retard. The word cassette IS a french word. So we applied it to something in english, that doesn't mean that it cannot possibly be applied to anything else in english ever.
>>331937562
Just call it a playstation you moron
>>331942736
>>331942651
ROM cassette tapes haven't been used for video games since the days of the Spectrum. Despite his shitty English the guy is right, we don't call them cassettes (which does have a strict definition in English as wikipedia informs me) but cartridges.
I don't want to get drawn into this argument because the two of you seem to be having a lot of fun, but one of you is definitely in the wrong and you know it.
>>331942791
>>331942945
>ROM cassette tapes
You're definitely in the wrong and you DON'T know it.
>>331942910
french do not call game pak a cassette, they call it a 'cartouche'
can't belive you don't understand what is a casette, still.
let me try to explain to you in your retard terms, magnetic tape = casette, pcb = cartridge
>>331943058
Do you know what happens to a cassette tape when you remove the square of plastic at the top? It becomes read-only. You are the retard who was using terms he doesn't understand which is what got you into this mess with the other guy in the first place.
>>331943112
So now you're arguing that for something to be called a "cartridge", it MUST have a PCB with rom chips?
Well then fuck those stupid retarded idiots at HP for selling me ink cartridges.
>>331940217
Rare in general were fucking wizards with that system. Even Nintendo themselves couldn't make things look as good as Rare did with it.
God I wish they'd continued that into the GameCube era. Imagine how great it could have been if Nintendo had both Rare and Retro making games for them at the time.
>>331943209
ink cartridges have pcbs in yes lol omg you are sooo stupid i can't even right now. how you think they can print??
take out from your printer the cartridge and look at the underside, but nice deflection attempt retard
>>331943168
Something being read only doesn't mean that it's ROM. ROM actually does refer to something specific. Considering that you're such an obnoxious pedant, I'd think you would know that.
I miss cartridge expansion chips. I have a grand total of ONE for the DS and after and it's on a fucking flashcart for GBA emulation. Now compare that to the buttload we had in the SNES era.
>>331943278
Okay, and what do you call this, genius?
>>331943318
I'm no pedant, but I know what ROM means and I know you can't write to a cassette tape once you take the tab off. That's how the old games used to ship, with uneditable (read only) memory.
If this causes you to have another autism flare up please don't reply to me again, respond to the other guy about your cartridges because I really don't care.

do you know what a homonym is? perhaps not
take away this with you... game paks are called cartridges in english, not cassettes. cannot believe i have to babysit you.
>>331943380
The programmable microcode on the N64 was supposed to make expansion chips irrelevant cause in theory you could improve system performance with a better microcode alone
>>331943267
They did.
>>331943456
This is ROM. You're a fag. Fuck yourself.
>>331940217
Tooie looked amazing
also incredible lighting and shadowing effects
>>331943576
It's not a "homonym" you fucking idiot. A homonym has a different meaning and origin. A gun cartridge is called a cartridge for the same reason that a rom cartridge is called a cartridge.
>>331943629
I'm sure that's why read-only files on the computer turn into those kinds of microchips, right?
Look. It does what it says on the tin. I really don't have time to get into an argument. The point is that we don't call them cassettes unless they are actually cassettes.

The fact that they finished up porting a mostly complete N64 game for the very beginning of the GC's lifecycle and then were sold to Microsoft before they could make any original games for the system does not count as Nintendo having both Rare and Retro during the GC era. It is obvious what the poster you replied to meant by that comment and you're either being pedantic or are horribly lacking in reading comprehension.
>The japanese call it a cassette in English, that means it's a cassette!
Enjoy this picture of a consent.
>>331943951
No, shit for brains. A homonym is a word like pole, a post, and pole, a person from poland.
A cartridge is a casing intended to protect and keep together elements, such as gunpowder and a bullet, or electronic components.
The word is referring to the same kind of thing.
Nice barf textures, Nintendo.

not the same thing, different, that's why it is a homonym
but i am glad at least you have stopped calling them casette, you are learning something
>>331944292
It's a ad from 19 years ago. Time to let go of the pain.
>>331944204
In entertainment media, the normal meaning of cassette is something that contains magnetic tape. You can verify that this is the widely understood definition by looking up the word cassette in dictionaries and on wikipedia. They will all tell you that it refers to a tape of some kind.
Does this mean the word was invented for that sole purpose in its original form and can never legitimately be used for anything else? No, that's not how words work. However if you use a word to mean something that is outside what its normal, widely-understood use is, people are not going to know what you mean and are going to wonder why what you are saying sounds like a bunch of nonsense.
You're right, it says it on the back of some japanese cartridges. This probably indicates that most japanese people don't speak english as a native language and that they made an otherwise odd and unusual word choice. Go ahead and refer to N64 carts that way if you want, and you can always point to those cartridge backs to say you are correct, but wherever you go people will rightly call you out for not being able to just talk like a normal person.
>>331944427
It's the same thing. You are a retard with a tiny brain that cannot draw connections between things, which is why you can't accept the idea that a "cassette" can be anything other than a cassette tape. Because you're subhuman.
>>331944406
That's different, that's perspective correct texture mapping. That's what makes textures warp at sharp angles.
The problem with the PS1 being unable to draw a straight line is a lack of precision in the number type, which makes vertices jitter between snapping to different pixels.
>>331944465
Theres no pain, Sinfe Final Fantasy has nothing on N64's library.

>>331944491
I DON'T call them cassettes. I'm not the original poster. There's nothing objectively incorrect about referring to a rom cartridge as a cassette, and your insistance that there is is wrong, and so I am explaining it to you. But because you are obstinately committed to being a single minded drooling retard, it is not easy.
>>331944697
whats the point of it being smooth when all the games are shit?
>>331944528
But that still makes the other guy wrong because the N64 coordinate system factors in sub pixels while PS1 does not
>>331944579

>>331944659
I already explained to you what a cartridge is. If you can't understand, that's your problem.

You are correct. The N64 can do it, the PS1 cannot, but the reason is different.

>There's nothing objectively incorrect about referring to a rom cartridge as a cassette
Yes, my post agrees with you on that, if you bothered to actually read it. Nevertheless, it is a stupid term to use because no one will know what the fuck you are talking about.
And the post you replied to was my first on this topic in this thread, by the way.
>>331944796
Yeah, it's an EPROM, which is a type of ROM.
A tape is not a type of ROM, even if it is read only.
The point stands.

its the same fucking thing. a cartridge is a container. for printers it holds ink, for bullets it holds gunpowder, for n64 it holds a pcb. its the one word with one meaning. I'm on your side that cassettes hold tape because that is the dictionary definition of them, but you also need to check the definition of cartridge.

>>331945116
There is a specific way that the term is used in entertainment media, this is what you are failing to grasp.
It's not an issue of whether you can prove in some kind of eternally objective way that the soundwaves produced when you utter the word "cassette" are metaphysically repelled by anything that doesn't have magnetic tape in it. The point is that because of the specific meanings words have in specific types of context, nobody knows what the fuck you are talking about when you refer to a Nintendo 64 cartridge as a cassette, so you are an idiot for going around using it and then acting surprised when people call you out for it.

If somebody referred to an N64 game as a cassette, I would know what they are talking about. I would think it's strange, but armed with my vast knowledge of etymology and my inherently quick intellect, I would fully understand what they were saying accept the technical accuracy of their terminology.

I would understand he was trying to refer to a cartridge, but I would stop and wonder where he got this "cassette" idea from and internally wonder if he actually thinks there is some kind of relation between this form of media storage and the things you put in the VCR back then. I would probably question him on this. As would most people who are into entertainment media as part of their hobbies in the first place.

And then he would show you the backs of the cartridges, and how they say "cassette" on them, and then you would start ranting about how japs are fucking stupid and everybody knows that they're called cartridges, and then any neutral observer would look at you and think "I mean it says cassette right on there, I don't see how you can contest that" and then you would scream NORMIES REEEEEEE WHY DON'T THEY TRUST MY AUTHORITY ON VIDEO GAME TERMINOLOGY and then they would walk away from you terrified.

type "film cassette" into google for me please.
then come back and tell me how it's universally accepted in english that for something to be called a cassette it must contain magnetic tape
ITT:
Faggots arguing about the definition of "cassette".
>>331946221
you mean a video cassette
35mm film, 70mm film is not magnetic
the word 'film' is confusing you

God no, playing Smash at a stable 60 on an emulator is a dream.
>>331946342
any combination of two common words will return a result, the point is that you don't understand the difference between these media

why troll over this?

>I can't be this retarded, it must be a troll!
The N64 Game Pak is a cartridge, not a cassette. End of discussion. Line ends here.
ITT: A little bit of legit discussion about vidya hardware back in the day, but mostly retards fighting over the definition of a word.
>>331940969
You know WHY Nintendo named the n64? Because the stystem was 64bit you twat
Nobody going to pick the OP up on "PSX"? Just me?
>b-but the psone and psx are different consoles
Remember when Playstation games came in cardboard sleeves? I do.
>>331946539
really so what is this >>331942302
do my eyes deceive me or is this not a N64 game wackadoodle
>>331946605
It had a 32bit bottleneck in one of the CPU buses forcing all games to run in 32bit mode.
>>331946605
I never said the hardware was not 64bit but that the games were not
>>331946686
nope it's only because there is literally no point to run games in 64bit when you are a console with 4 megabytes of RAM
>>331946686
yes but couldn't the registers do 64-bit calculation? I think your point is a bit moot here
>>331946646
Japanese incorrectly use a lot of foreign words.
Notable examples are cassette, avec, arbeit, mansion, hamburger. But this has been discussed already in the thread as you know.
>>331946634
PSX was an abbreviation for the Playstation, so I'm not sure what you're getting at. There also is a console called a PSX, that is a different thing than the Playstation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(video_game_console)
>>331946545
All of /v/ is about meticulous neckbeards trying to win an armchair argument about semantics.
>>331944530
N64 had no games.
Who cares? PS1 had better games overall anyways.
ps1 games do look better, at least japanese ones. later in its life they had some crazy workarounds and smoke / mirror shit (mainly in using as many 2d assets as possible and limiting camera angles) to maximize what it could do
>>331947272
This is what sonyponies actually believe.
>>331946949
The PSX isn't what people are referencing when they say PSX. When someone says PSX they are usually (incorrectly) talking about the Playstation, in contrast to the later, smaller Playstation model known as PSone.

Not even into console wars kiddo, the PS1 had a much better library. Maybe you should stop being so defensive over facts and drop your dumb company loyalty.
>>331946949
"PSX" was never really an official abbreviation for the system. PSX was a codename abbreviation. If I remember right it was codenamed "play station experiment."
After it officially became PlayStation, people had already been referring to it by the codename abbreviation of PSX, and since there was only one less letter it just kind of stuck.
>>331947495
PSX was a common abbreviation for the original boxy grey Playstation.

>>331944697
Most of the great looking N64 games use really simple models and cartoonish proportions to make them look better.
A better comparison would be multiplat games like the V8 series and RE2. I don't think any of the N64 car models in V8 could do reflective surfaces at all, and all the textures in RE2 N64 look much worse. N64 just didn't have the wobbling issue the PS1 has. Plus everyone's glancing over the issue of sound here.
>>331947454
Lifelong Nintendo fan who grew up on their systems here, no sane person thinks that the N64 has an overall better game library than the PlayStation did. There's just no competition. I love the N64, it had some great games, but PS won that generation in every respect.
>>331947589
Wrong. PSX was the name of a DVD recorder that could play Playstation 1 and 2 games.
Using it to refer to the Playsation is willful ignorance.
>>331942551
Fuck your prescriptivistic approach to language.
>>331947454
Not him but PS1 covered every genre thoroughly with great games while N64 missed out some genres or only had 1 or two games in it. It's not even about opinions, PS1 had far more great games on it than the N64.
>>331947640

Oh look it's a Sonyphony defending his greystation.

Go back to bed, child.
>>331942501
The stupid desicion about keeping cartridages as a storage medium instead of using CDs because of muh piracy. Also, it was much cheaper to develop for the PS1 and the content guidelines were much more flexive.
>>331947792
Dumbest post in this entire thread.

>N64 games had better gameplay, music and graphics
>>331947760
Name one genre. The n64 had the best library of the 5th gen, and I'm speaking objectively.
>>331948063
lol
>>331947742
Fuck your 'redefine a word to fit my argument' attitude.
>>331948121
Yep just as I thought. When you're challenged you cower away because you know you're wrong.

Literally means small case
>>331948063
N64 was greatly inferior in racing, fighting, JRPG, SRPG, arcade, general 2D games and action adventures.
>>331947731
no
you are fucking retarded
100 billion google results say so
fuck off
>>331948063
RPG
Schmup
Fightan
Racing
Puzzle
Action/adventure
Beat em up
The only genre where the N64 definitively had the PS1 beat was 3D platformers. You could certainly make a case for FPS, as well. So that's 1 or possibly 2 compared to virtually everything else.
>>331937562
Everyone got tricked by the FMV craze.
>>331948063
>>331948434
Plus survival horror, stealth, 2D platformers. Probably more too.
>>331948580
>Platformer
What is Crash, Spyro, Klonoa and Ape Escape.
>>331948759
A bunch of games that were not as good as the 3D platformers the N64 had with the possible exception of Ape Escape.
>>331948759
DKC clone before DK64, tech demo game playing catch-up, kiddie shit, and a gimmick.

these are technically gameplay styles

resident evil, a third person shooter

Goldeneye had great stealth mechanics

MM already mentioned, you can also have Goemon or Yoshi's story.
So there you go. Naysayers BTFO. I can keep this up all day guys, try me.

If you honestly think these are a match for PS1, you're delusional beyond belief.
>>331949091
>>331949117
Those games are better than anything the playstation had in the equivalent genre.
Quality over quantity is the key to a great library, putting the N64 firmly in first place.
>>331949091
this was 100% expected, I'm actually surprised he didn't type the answers beforehand and just pasted them instantly
>>331949173
Holy fanboy batman. I'm terribly sorry, but N64 had neither quantity nor quality.
>>331947602
You couldn't be more wrong. N64 actually supports hardware based reflections while it is only software based on N64.
Look up World Driver Championship on N64. Graphically destroys any PS1 racer (though I think R4 has better artstyle)
>>331949220
>claim N64 doesn't have games of certain genres
>backpeddle when you get btfo
Hot opinions bro. Maybe you could try swallowing the facts next time like a big boy?
>>331949264
Nice bait mait.
Are sonypawns get sonypwned so hard because I'm here or because you've lost your touch? Keep them coming guys I got all day.

>>331948901
What does N64 has except for Mario 64 and Banjo that is good? Literally nothing.
>>331949396
*on PS1
>>331949440
Oh, only Ocarina of Time. You know, the best video game currently in existence which pretty much defined 3D games and changed the landscape of video games forever.
Yeah, THAT little title.
>>331949440
No joke, I never had a nintendo 64 but I've never seen anything other than these games >>331948967
mario and zelda ever mentioned.
Did that fucking console have literally 15 games?
>>331949545
>Ocarina of Time
>3D platformer
>>331949440
kirby, yoshi, goemon, mischief makers, glover, conker
come on dude troll harder the n64 is famous for its platformers
>>331949580
Smallest library out of any home console that could be considered succesful.
>>331949626
>Kirby
>3D
>mischief makers
>3D
>conker
>good platformer
Nigger, are you joking?
>>331949580
Small library but nearly every game was of the highest quality. 90% of it is 9/10s, unlike the Playstation library which was filled with garbage and a couple of titles worth a look at if couldn't afford a Nintendo 64 and CD player.
>>331949580
>Did that fucking console have literally 15 games
Yes it had around 15-20 great games.
