Memory

Because the Dicktendo Sixty-Whore is for gay babies, or as I like to call them, gaybies.

>>4692019
maybe it was made for ps1 first and then ported to n64? the textures wouldn't look that much different on a consumer crt anyways

>>4692029
.

>>4692019
Dreamcast?

Anyone have a comparison of the THPS series?

>>4692049
Wasn't that game renamed GTA: San Andreas

>>4692019
N64 was much harder to program for
Limited cartridge space, so textures had to be smaller
Blur

i don't like the wobbly, pixelated textures and the lack of antialiasing the ps1 has.
And it really depends on the dev, most of the disney/activision games look better on ps1, but midway/acclaim games look better on n64

Probably because they didn't lmao pwnt

>>4692019
So what's going on in that screen? N64 version has worse draw distance or what? Because other than that, N64 looks better. Spidey looks bigger, his shadow actuall have his body shape (it's just a spot on PS), and the floor doesn't look like it's from a Tim Burton movie.

>>4692201
Yes, N64 has half the draw distance for some reason

>>4692019
Whatever you say, bro...

>>4693593
Army Men is a garbage franchise.

>>4693593
hope you had fun cherry picking through shit

>>4693870
That's exactly what this thread was made for.

Sarges Heroes is a goddamn treasure.

>Hurr you're just cherry picking, that franchise is shit, etc.

Yeah, nice cherry pick, OP.

>>4694198
You can't honestly tell me you unironically enjoy Army Men games, anon...

>>4692183
Well, it's all situational and comes down to the individual coders and the game. All this retroactive console war bullshit is pretty weak. Nintendo
and Sony are both Kyoto yakuza and the "wars" were orchestrated from the start. If you really believe the "Nintendo Playstation" was a real corporate conflict and not simply an intentional misdirect to switch Sega out for yet another deep state puppet show, you might just be retarded.

Please use this image from now on for your shitposting purposes, thank you.

The PC version of FF VII looks better than the PS one.

This is such a 1999 newsgroup post, I can smell the fat sweat stained t-shirt with a print of WWE wrestlers as South Park characters.

>>4694924
Mega Man on PS1 has no legs

>>4692049
it's always the exact same jokes about niggers ever since someone decided they're actually people like us

>>4692029
This is the type of quality post that I come to /vr/ for

>>4695138
no this

>>4695108
it is called mega man LEG ENDS for a reason, anon

>>4692073
THPS 3 performs better on n64

all 3 games have more polygons in models

>>4692019
not always

most midway games looked better on n64, but have have been slower

>>4692029
>>4695149
Awesome posts

>>4695108
is the culling fucked up or something?

>>4695213
They just didn't think their priority filling throughly enough.

>posting screenshots from emulators
>real ps1 geometry is fucked from no perspective correction

>>4692019
Did Spiderman look better on PS1? I recall there was a PC port and a Dreamcast version too.

>>4694917
This is the gayest thing I've read in like a hundred years

>>4694917
go back to /pol/ faggot

>>4695335
Since we're all gay, that means it's good, right?

>Give an N64 game better textures
>Blur the fuck out of everything so you can’t even tell

WHY

>>4695458
Absolutely

>>4695494
Because CRTs and non-HD displays

>>4695158
the definitive versions were on ps2 and can be Pcx2'ed please stop.

>>4692019
why did the look even better on dreamcast?

>>4692019
Emulated games on N64 look fine if you turn off the shit filter, there is no texture stuttering unlike the PSX...too bad N64 emulation is kinda dogshit.

>>4696192
eh

>>4692029
Absolutely based.

>>4695213
PS1 had no Z buffer so probably

>>4696192
N64 textures are too low-res to disable filtering

>>4692183
>>4694924
mmm that's good bilinear filtering

>>4692019
some look better, some look worse

it wasn't like the 2D fighting games on the PS1 and Saturn, where virtually all of them looked better on the sega system

>>4692183
nice ePSXe vs Project 64 at 480p comparison

meanwhile, the real thing

>>4694198
I'm not OP. I was just stating that the army men games are buggy as shit. And not at all well made or coded.

I'm sure the frame rate of the N64 version is 10.

>>4693910
>Sarges Heroes is a goddamn treasure.
Does it work?

>>4696538
>the real thing
Eh, that one is also manipulated, kinda. In that part of the game, you get buildings destroyed from the city, unless you're quick to take down Tron's robots, or if you pay Zenny in order to rebuild the city.
On the right screen, the N64 one, there's less buildings around because of that, not because they aren't there on the N64 version.
Still, it's true that the drawing distance is worse on N64, but that's still a tricky pic, making the N64 ver look emptier on purpose.
The real thing is also this: >>4695108

>>4695275
The dreamcast version was the best version of Spider-man, it used better models for the characters. IIRC, the extra shoulder buttons in the ps1 version allowed you to do a grab move and use an invisibility powerup on one of the costumes. Other than that, they were pretty useless.

>>4696602
the point is to show the draw distance and the sharper image on the PS1

>The real thing is also this: >>4695108
not really, that's from the youtube channel "VCDECIDE" and the capture is from emulators

>>4696635
>the point is to show the draw distance and the sharper image on the PS1
Right, but it's still done so in a meticulous way to give the PS1 advantage by not having all the buildings destroyed.
Also, I don't know who made that picture, for all I know those could be on emulator too, displayed on a CRT.
"Sharper image"; I dunno, Legends on PS1 has its own issues too. Best looking version is PC, and I'd pick N64 over PS1.

people say draw distance, but i think fog.

>>4692029
Good post

>>4696637
Why did no one tell me Legends was on PC

>>4693868
Portal Runner [/spoiler ]is great

>>4692049
Good to know /pol/ was a thing back in the 90s.

>>4692029
Shut the hell up, bunghole!

>>4696602
It's obviously to show the fog, not number of buildings. If they had to remove stuff to save space they wouldn't have started with the library. Having played both versions a few times the draw distance on the 64 version is abysmal. Nothing like fighting in the overworld and not being able to see an enemy til your within range of a high damge attack. It's not THAT bad but it's pretty close when the ps version doesn't rely entirely on sound affects to let you know an enemy is close(ruins aside). You can see tanks pretty far in the distance, and see much further undeeground than the 64 version.

>>4692019
Nope

>>4696454
Nigga are you blind? It's literally an option in any emulator and you get this:
>>4696205

>>4698149
thanks for proving OP's point.

>>4698884
While that comparison collage is shit, Shadow Man really does look miles better on N64 than on PS.
There's PC and Dreamcast versions anyway, but as with Rayman 2, the PS version is the worst.

>>4695606
>jeff-goldblum-oil-painting.jpg

This will be one of those images that I'll keep wondering about why I saved when I stumble across it three years later.

Because usually third party companies dont have the resources and time to be compressing shit to make their games more efficient. So since the N64 dev costs were so high rather than compress textures they straight up deleted some. And i dont blame them one bit, because there was no reason to use cartridges in fucking 1995.

>>4696689
because its a shit port

>>4692049
Did this game ever come out?

>>4699021
It's funny how cartridge based media in games is now coming back. Who know that the cost and space factors would one day be irrelevant so soon?

>>4699091
the big issue every console that gen had to deal with was ram prices being so high at the time.

>>4698779
I know it's an option, and it looks like shit because the N64 used lower-resolution textures compared to the PS1 most of the time

>>4698972
>with Rayman 2, the PS version is the worst
whle this is true there is absolutely nothing wrong with Rayman 2 on PS1.
It's probably my favorite Rayman 2 port to date.

>>4700779
>nothing wrong with Rayman 2 on PS1
Well, except for having worse graphics, lower polycount and smaller levels than the superior N64, Dreamcast versions.

Are you always this autistic or just when talking about things you don't like?

>>4695160
>most midway games looked better on n64
NBA Hangtime was the best on the N64 outside of the arcade. The other PSX version was terrible in just about every aspect. The music may be more clear, but it is not worth the halftime song to buy a specific version of the game. I have the PC version as well, and its been a long time, but I think the 64 is better then that also.

>>4700868
?
It's not that I don't like the Ps1 port of rayman 2, it's just that is is a downgrade from the superior versions.
are you projecting with the whole autistic thing or what?
