Why was the Genesis sound hardware so weak?

The SNES one is just the same song except shitty and muffled. The Genesis one at least tries to sound original and more videogame-like.

FM synth.

Some games actually benefitted from the Genesis sound chip. The Earthworm Jim soundtrack for example sounds way...funkier than on the SNES, where it sounds like it's being played in a wool sock.

I see the Genesis at least didn't TRY to do guitar here. Memorably laughable results when it did.

It must've sucked to be a kid and be stuck with a console making Atari noises while your SNES friends had a console with realistic sounds and voices.

Muffled vs. Farts: the war that will never end.
Was the Genesis even trying? The majority of it's OSTs were pure dog shit.
Or was Sega all about being a crash grab as we saw with the CD/32X/Saturn/Dreamcast etc.?

So many of the SNES OSTs could've came straight from a mainstream music artist production-wise.
That's a simple truth that many Genesis fags can't handle.

this was me. I hated the snes though, it was slower and the sound effects (especially in fighting games) had this weird muffled noise. Some even had this strange out-of-place echo sound effect.
its easy now, with HD monitors playing roms on pc, to poke fun at the genesis graphics (like street fighter 2) but 20+yrs ago, when all u had was the RF cable hooked up to an old CRT tv with scan lines the size of my thumb nail, it all looked the same.
my cousin and I could pick out of the differences in the sound, but each port that came out had advantages on each system. Laugh all u want, only proves u werent there to enjoy it, cause it didnt suck as bad as u think.
>24/7 anti-genesis shilling
for what purpose
did the wiiu fail so badly nintendo had to time-travel to get mad at sega's FM synth with cherrypicking
ps I played through stimpy's invention, it has some good music in it and the map song posted is a simple interlude between levels meant to make you feel ready, not a direct adaptation like some of the snes games have (which by the way sounds like muffled shit)

shit, i love both. I just hate bottom bitches who are loyalists and hate the other. Dont act like a sony fag, act like a gamer.
Reminder to sage and report this autistic fuck
This is the 4th time he's made this thread
Don't let this board become /v/
Why do you make a new thread for this every day
If you like muffled songs so much go listen so some AM radio music
>>3155945
>poke fun at the genesis graphics
Don't even go there, dude. Let's just let the Genesis RIP.
Is this /vr/'s Barneyfag?
Did you really need to post it again?
>>3155972
too bad your fagmachine wasn't powerful enough to have blood
>>3155963
I see the Genesis fag is already crying. This is /vr/, not /gen/... there's 20 positive Genesis threads here a day. Just leave here if you can't handle the truth. Simple.
>>3155976
>/vr/'s Barneyfag
now it makes sense
>>3155976
Nah, that would be Australia-kun. OP is smalltime compared to his autism.
Console war thread ban when? Who the fuck cares about specs for systems that are 25+ years old anyways? inb4 "lol buttblasted Sega fan", I'm actually a Nintendo guy myself, but arguing which system was better is pointless.
Also, remember to sage if you're posting ITT
It's always SNES PCM and Genesis FM. Why does nobody ever mention PC Engine's glorious wavetable synthesis?

Honestly, the SNES and Genesis shouldn't even be compared... as really the SNES was .5 generations ahead hardware-wise. Hell, the DKC series was able to fight PS1 sales briefly, while the Genesis was still using a Master System sound chip and 3 button controller with a 64 onscreen color palette. It's like comparing a Dreamcast to a Gamecube. Not comparable.
>>3156030
Then came the PC Engine CD add-on, where you could just stream music from the CD.

I mean, Sega did the same thing. And Nintendo was going to before they dropped it

The funny thing is both Genesis and Dreamcast are better than SNES and GC, despite having "weaker" or older hardware.
Hell, Nintendo's best system, the NES, has the worst hardware of all, but does that matter? No.
>>3156228

this board truly is full of autism

Nah i'm used to the arcade, that's how i know the SNES looks like shit in comparison you fucking retard.
>>3156283
Is this your idea of being clever, do you feel like the cheekiest of cunts?
Maybe I should repost some bait threads of my own. It's brilliant! Smashing idea, well done.

Let's not get carried away now. Just because the SPC700 sucked because of its tiny SRAM size doesn't mean that all PCM music is shit.
