/vr/ - Retro Games

That would require nintendo to not be a mafia-like company in the 80s. Which is impossible.

>nintendo to not be a mafia-like company

What the hell? Do you hate Nintendo this much?

Nowadays? Not much different since consoles are basically just underpowered PCs now anyway. Back then? I guess all the games would've just been on the Saturn instead or something.

Probably have more gameplay.

SEGA would still be alive for sure. Nintendo would probably be in the same position, Microsoft would probably still be working alongside SEGA like they did with the Dreamcast. Possibly it may have left enough room for Panasonic, NEC, or Atari to stay in the race for a little longer. 3DO probably would've been the third major console with a few more actual fifth gen games on it.

>Both NEC and Panasonic became parts suppliers for Nintendo, mostly due to Nintendo sabotaging their consoles (PC-FX and M2).
>Microsoft would've never bother.
>Atari fucked up on their own merits.
>3DO never had a chance unless they did basic upgrades every few years and not launce the original system at $700, and Nintendo would of still sabotage the future consoles.
>Sega would've still went 3rd Party as they had other issues besides bad selling hardware.
The real story is Nintendo not touching Sony's sound chip and go with Rocoh's sound chip (and paring it up with a Yamaha FM chip) before they striped it down for Fujitsu and Sega.
That and using Panasonic for the CD drive before the 3DO happen.

>Sega still would've stopped making consoles after the Dreamcast because the company would still be run by absolute retards
>Nintendo would be in the same position it is now, maybe with more third-party support during the N64/GameCube era
>Microsoft likely would've still wanted a piece of the console market pie, and with Sony not in the picture they'd probably have been more successful
>the Jaguar's failure was Atari's own fault and the 3DO was too expensive, both consoles would've been doomed either way

>>10775327
/v/ wouldn't have anyone to blame their life's issues to

>>10775327
not at all. we'dstill have the nintendo ps5, switch dominating the handheld market, and sega never making a sequel to phantasy star 4

>>10775458
>console market pie
Pie?

Gen 5 was such a fucking joke.

If you had anything besides then it was a waste of money, no argument.

>>10775327
Very
>>10775614
You're confusing gen 5 with gen z

>>10775327
Immeasurably better.

>>10775410
Based. I wish all these things happened.

wasn't the whole reason why microsoft joined the console race was because of sony saying the playstation was a home PC or some shit like that?

I had a PSX and I loved it but there's no denying this generation irrevocably fucked video gaming forever. Cinematic movie-games, the death of arcade-style games, the death of 2d games, the beginning of the normalfag infestation, the mainstreaming of "nerd" culture, big money taking an interest in gaming, publishers and other shitheads controlling game development purely for profit, etc.

>>10775614
PS1 is shit. That generation didn't produce a single good console.

>>10775327
Survival horror would be vastly different.
We would not have Silent Hill, and my heart would break.

>>10775327
There is no alternate reality where Sony doesn't have some part in vidya
Nintendo only went with carts on the N64 because literally everyone capable of making a CD drive for the console was already busy with either someone elses system or making their very own
If Sony had been free at the time and not a bitter enemy then Nintendo would've negotiated a deal with them

>>10775410
Thumbnail looks like the area in HL1 where you fight the Gargant

>>10775327
Dead. It wouldn't mean that the Saturn or N64 would have been a lot more successful or had countless more games, with the increasing cost and time required to make games and no massively successful platform for them we'd just see less 3rd party developers.

The N64 would of done better as...
>The N64 uses quad channel SDRam at 16MB instead of the laggy 4MB of rambus ram (cost was the same, traces included).
>The N64 got a 4X CD drive add on at launch to please Square, Enix, Capcom and Konami, faster drives came out at later dates when the drives become cheaper.
>Nintendo keeps Rare and allows Banjo and Conker (because 12 Tales did see release) to fluish, still buys Retro Studios for Metroid and more Donkey Kong.
>The N64 gets a proper 32 ADPCM channel sound chip, freeing up RSP resources.
>64KB of external texturing catch
>The N64 uses a 16 pin AV port so component video, digital audio and RGBHV can be used out of the box, also RGBS out of the box for all regions.
