PS1 had some quirks that made its games look worse than other games at the time but if you look at other games from the same time period, even on PC, they looked similar. The thing that killed PS1 games was the no floating points vertexes or whatever it was that caused the warping. Not sure if PC games at the time could do texture filtering either but the texture squares also looked bad.

If games that were on the PS1 got PC ports they often looked quite a bit better just because of getting around these quirks, like MGS1 or Driver.

But I mean low polygon amounts and shitty textures were par for the course in the late 90s.

Good game but Tenchu 2 was so much better. Should always be mentioned in the "best sequels ever" discussion.
>>
>>345260813

There's a whole bunch of problems with the PS1 hardware that make everything look like shit.
No float support means vertices jitter like crazy.
Affine texture mapping means textures warp.
No Z-buffer means problems with Z-fighting were common and profound.
PS1 hardware was designed for nothing but pushing polygons with impressive on-paper specs but it looked like shit in the hands of the developers, just like every playstation console.

The PS1 was developed before you even had any standardized consumer solutions for 3d graphics. The were literally guessing in which way 3d will develop for gaming. And seeing how it all turned out I think they made the right choices.

What other ways are you even thinking they might have expected? The PS1 was still missing a lot of stuff that even the N64 had and they just had to live with it until the PS2 came out.
>>
>>345261914

I suppose they made the best choices that they could at the time. They certainly made better choices than Sega did. But let me tell you, the N64 really did benefit from that extra year or so in the works.

Unless you imported from japan you didn't have many shmups to chose from on the saturn in the US.
>>
Honestly, it depends.

The best looking Sony games in my opinion were the ones that had either stylized graphics (Crash, Spyro, Ape Escape, etc), pre-rendered backgrounds (Resident Evil, Final Fantasy games, etc), or did 2D Graphics with 3D touches.

Coming from the Genesis, the Playstation was pretty damn great. Admittedly I thought the N64 had better visuals at the time (I still remember wanting to play SM64 so badly), but Nintendo did their normal dick move and did not produce enough shit for the holidays, so I did not get a N64 until a good 3 years after.
>>

>>345262097
>The PS1 was still missing a lot of stuff that even the N64 had
Maybe you should look up when was the PSX finalized and when it was in the case of the N64. They are literally years apart.
>>
>>345259658
that amount of shovelware

Just like the PS2
>>
>>345262260

Crash is such a masterpiece of technology. Every glaring hardware problem with the PS1 (no floats, affine textures, no Z-buffer) was creatively and efficiently sidestepped.

A shame that meant the game was forced to take place in a corridor.

I know they weren't released at the same time but I'm not sure why you say they foresaw how 3D graphics would go if they were missing tons of shit that became common even a couple years after it came out.

3d sucked until the ps2/xbox/dreamcast. ps1, 64, saturn, all looked like tragic accidents in real time. if you havent noticed, during the ps1 era is when 2d and 2.5 shit flourished because it had all that extra power to use.

AW DAMN, I think I had blocked out this trauma from my childhood after I finally got an N64 like two years later (with the best game ever, BK). Growing up in Miami, I remember just how hard it was to find N64's. They were sold out everywhere.

Then again, so was the PS1 I think. America sure had deep pockets back in the Clinton years.

>>345262904
The discussion was about exclusives, not inferior arcade ports though. Funnily enough PS1 actually has exclusive, top-quality shmups in addition to ports of the best arcade games.

>>345263193
I think N64 was a joke as well. most games 8-12mb.

Hardware was shit by late 1997 (1 year after its release) and the controller was the cheapest thing I've ever seen

>>345263283
Sony always banks off other tech than just video games for their consoles to be successful. The PS1 was a CD player, the PS2 was a DVD player, and the PS3 was a bluray player. That and the PS1 had a huge advantage with discs in general allowing for a lot more storage space for better textures, prerendered cutscenes and backgrounds, and better audio.

They weren't competitive solely because of their "foresight" in regards to 3D graphics.

Never argued that, dummy. I argued that the PS1 has actual top quality exclusive shmups for some of the biggest names like Gradius and R-Type so there's a reason to boot it up unlike the Saturn which was made obsolete by the existence of MAME when it comes to shmups.

Lol, you have be 10 degrees of stupid or delusional to believe this. 3DFX cards that could compete with the Reality chip didn't arrive for PC until the year 2000.

I prefer that metal gear because the cutscene direction, voice acting, and music are all better in the ps1 version. Every dumbass knows that the gameplay and graphics are better in the gcn version, but that's about it. Everyone's voice acting sounds off and not as good even though it's the same fucking people. Wasn't really a fan of the "bullet cutting" cutscene shit but that doesn't trigger me as bad as most on here.

Too bad Gradius and R-Type are shit and Raizing's catalog on the Saturn alone annihilates the totality of Konami and Irems shmup catalog.

Sony had the sense not to have texture filtering on their console. It may look dated but is way more aesthetically pleasing that the literal vomit-looking graphics N64 ended up with.

Honestly, filtering should have been laid off on until the 7th gen. Grainy pixellation > blurred ass soup.

Could you point out exactly how this is impressive so I can more easily reply? I mean it looks fine and pretty good for an N64 game but it doesn't look that different from some higher end PC games in the 1999-2000 area.

Saturn shenmue was made by a first party that had access to everything concerning the technical side of the system MGS was just a third party made on normal dev kits.

>By the way the best version of Metal Gear Solid 2 was on Xbox before the remasters.

The game was built to work on the PS2 by the team's engineers which had proper experience with the hardware, Xbox and PC may run at a higher resolution and even look better, but they received no comparable optimization and ran on brute force alone which has its limits.

I actually was not too far from you back in the day (was living in St. Petersburg at the time). I remember N64 was sold out for a good year or so where I was at in a way similar to the Wii, and the Playstation was absolutely everywhere. I remember the Sega Saturn being uncommon though, I don't remember Walmart or many of the major chains at the time carrying it. First time I ever saw one in the 90s was at a electronic store at a mall in Tampa.
>>
>>345265017
Not him but the PS2 version of MGS2 wasn't a solid 60 fps either. I have read about people on PC when it came out there talking about poor performance but I doubt it was affecting everyone. And the higher resolution is a reason a game might run poorly.

Well my point is that the N64's hardware wasn't "shit" for its time. As for my webm, I was more accurately referring to the way the game can render facial animations using the in-game engine. The webm you posted for example doesn't have any that I can see. More importantly, he makes a kneecap shot which were introduced in Goldeney two years before.

SWAT 3 does have facial animation on hostages and stuff. And shooting things in the game leaves bullet holes, like on characters or objects, and you can shoot through pretty much anything with varying penetration values depending on gun and ammo.

Also you posted a cutscene.

Presentation includes texture work, color palette, music, voice acting in codec calls (actually game relevant).

Why don't you give me a compelling argument on why should I play the gamecube version instead?

>you are simply retarded.

Those versions run on like 3 times the specs (in case of the PC version they recommend 1800mhz and SSE, there's a special executable just for that set of inctructions, which I suppose is some kind of optimization) and yet they don't seem to go beyond the PS2 looks or performance.

Look I prefer Nintendo to Sony for a LOT of reasons, but saying the N64 > Playstation is just shitposting.

>>345265495
In fact N64 was a mistake.
In 1996 everyone was already able to work with hundreds of mega bytes of data while you had to compress everything into 12mb on N64 plus the hardware while not bad was already very outdated 1,5 years later after its release

>Not him but the PS2 version of MGS2 wasn't a solid 60 fps either

Did people make videos about MGS2's framerate? I'm not talking about stress conditions such as with smoke effects and others, but the game running at nominal speed. I supposed that since the game engine is bound to the framerate, if it ever dropped from 60 you would notice. Unless they did the "let's skip half the frames when the drawcalling gets intense" switcharoo.

MGS 3 had smooth 14fps on PS2 and MGS2 was sub 30fps

And N64 barely had anything past platformers.
>>
>>345265804
Consoles in the past could be more optimized because they were purely for playing games. But I would think the standard PC resolution was higher than the PS2 resolution. And the PC version does have a setting for a 32 bit z buffer. Not sure if that's better than what the PS2 could do.

>>345266290
The framerate would often drop outside and the cutscenes were all 30 fps while on PC most of them can do 60 fps, but there's an engine limitation that drops the framerate to 30 fps when particle effects get heavy which is still on the PC version.
>>
>>345266125
>PC version is bad

I own the PC version and glad I also have a supported video card so that I don't get glitches on any setting. It gets its job done if you have the beefy enough hardware. I don't see how the Xbox version can be better than PS2 if not for the slightly higher resolution.

Yeah, and I'm Moot in the flesh.

I never personally owned a PS1, and I do have fond memories or MGS, but I've never been in a situation where I had to play any PS1 game, like N64 games. I remember the first time I ever saw RE2, when the guy gets killed at the beginning, thinking "THIS console came out after N64? Looks worse than the worst part of any N64 games I've ever seen." because I was a little kid.

Today I can see that they're not as ugly as I thought, but PS1 games are like junk food, while N64 was the Golden Corral. Show me something as ambient as the Spirit Temple on PS1 and PROVE ME FREAKING WRONG.

>It has better effects

I'm watching that video, I'm not 100% sure but judging by the colors it seems the guy is recording PS2 off composite or s-video instead of component or RGB. That has an impact on the whole color output and on the general blurring so it may not be an entirely fair comparison

About the resolution, PS2 runs at 512x448 so of course effects are going to look better on the better consoles, they have more pixels to show them, and with a high-quality signal (you can't catch 480p from composite/s-video).

>better sound

The sound is exactly the same, and music was likely recorded from a PS2-like mixer.

>better frame rate

Let me continue with that video.

The N64 was like some jetfighter with more of the impresives skills of it time, but with not compatible gas. Nintendo did a pretty dumb move making the developers packs closed and very hard to understand. All caused the need to fit a 64mb game in a 2-4mb memory.

It's true, N64 did only have 380 games or so, to the PS1's 2000. But it did have a variety of other genres to compensate for this, including:

>assortment of original racing games (Extreme-G 1 & 2, Snowboaring 1080, Snowboard Kids, Diddy Kong, Mario, Lego Racers, Hot Wheels, Road Rash 64, Vigilante 8; I don't think there was any setting of racer or automobile game N64 didn't have.)
>horror games better than RE (Castlevanias, Nightmare Creatures, Hybrid Heaven)
>futuristic shooter games ahead of their time (WinBack, Sin & Punishment)
>Killer RPGs (Paper Mario, Ogre Battle 64, Flying Dragon)

>he fell for the "It's bad" meme!

The only reason it didn't get higher reviews is because the ability to choose a different avatar that actually plays uniquely made it too similar to a certain Zelda game that also came out that year, and because of the brand "Castlevania."

Magazines run on advertisement and there are only 12 issues a year. Edge, EGM, or whatever other dead mags from back then couldn't give Castlevania the property room that Nintendo's biggest game of the entire year needed, and surely Sony had already bought the other months. So they had to dock it points. You can't have two GOTY's and from the underdog console, while the "popular" one has shit games.

This is the sad truth. I'm sorry you had to learn it from me.

KOJIMA fans are super hostile, insecure, and bash everything else because that's all they have even as Kojima let's them down continually.

Same as, the PC was my parents and the Playstation was my elder brothers but they let me play it if I was careful.
Fuck I had nightmares till I was 12 because I watched them playing the first three resident evils, they started playing the first one when I was 3.

Same, but our PC was only good enough to run DOS until 2001.
Missed out on a lot of cool windows 9x games but at least I got Doom
