CONSOLE WARS

Jesus. What a shit looking game. Low poly and low texture size.

>>4805174
Really want to see you post examples of good looking PS1 games.

>>4805175
Why the fuck do you want me to do the impossible? You try and post one, they don't exist.

Low poly, low texture size, uneven geometry...etc. Fuck off with the impossible tasks.

>>4805175

off the top of my head, R4.

They just could not fathom the awesome power of the Nintendo 64™

>>4805174
it sorta hurts to look at

Crash looks alright... but a bit samey, and I never really liked the character design or most of the art direction, but that's just me.
Anyway, console wars, duuuude.

Why must you console war?

Higher specs don't actually help much in creating a nicer looking game. You have to have actual artists who can create something that outputs nicely.

Much of the N64 library was from devs like Midway and Acclaim, who produced mediocre games, both in gameplay and visually.

>>4805153
The N64 really excels at cartoon style 3D. It's nearly impossible to make it render shitty PS1 quality images even if you try.

>>4805153
carts and small texture bus=lack of good textures

>>4805174
>low poly
okay
>low texture size
higher than nearly everything on N64

>>4805598
Sure you can, it's ezpz. SGI even wrote a fast, low-quality microcode that made a ton of accuracy tradeoffs for raw speed.

>>4805153
Crash was far more linear than any of the popular N64 games, so they could optimize it much more.

>>4805153
Are you seriously trying to ask why a corridor game has better textures than the open-world fare on N64?

>>4805659
So why didn't anyone reproduce that blocky, jittery PS look on the N64? It might have not been a complete failure if they had. I might think it looks shitty but if soinibois are still praising it over two decades later it must be something people want.

Console wars are responsible for this board's existence. Everyone knows it's meaningless, but it gives them something to passionately argue about, and keeps the meme alive. It's the exact same phenomenon as waifufagging and it's the reason why there are subcultures around things like Star Trek.

>>4805257
Console war is good for the consumer. Without it, we get shit like Intel's Netburst architecture.

>>4805851
Why doesn't Maserati make cars that look exactly like Feraris? That they don't doesn't prove that they can't. Different brands have different styles, that is the nature of competition.

>>4805861
Sony would have wanted PS1 games to look like N64 had the technology been available to them at the time.

>>4805863
Right, Sony's R&D had not yet discovered the elusive "blurring technology."

>>4805867
Well they did eventually find it.

>>4805861
How is using a display style comparable to making bootleg cars? Are you brain damaged or high or brain damaged due to getting high too much?

>>4805153

because in the n64 games you can move freely, unlike in this game where the graphics are pre-calculated and doesn't allow you to move anywhere

next question

>>4805153
It did. Play World Driver Championship.

>I'll pretend not to understand comparison by analogy
>hehe showed them

>>4805175
Adventure of little ralph looks great., even to this day.

Conker?

>>4806561
>I'll pretend someone was pretending
>hehe that'll distract them from my retardation
Actually has the exact opposite effect

>>4805175
honestly I find both the ps1 and the n64 held up bad graphic and gameplay wise, but n64 did better because some games are kinda fun on it as opposed to ps1 where they just pure suck
