feels hołdys man

DUDE
COLLECTATHONS
LMAO

Find me a better platform for racing games.

...

Or just say racing games are shit and dodge the question like I know you will.

racing games are based

>>5679420
Dreamcast. F355 Challenge, Sega Rally 2, and Metropolis Street Racer btfo's any N64 racer.

Even PSX with Ridge Racer T4 btfo's the N64's racing games. Plus Wipeout 3 > F-Zero X, and CTR > MK64 and DKR.

>>5679391
Crash is not a collectathon, though. It's as close to a classic, stage-by-stage, challenge-by-challenge platformer as possible, but in 3d.

>>5679442
The joke was N64 has too many same-y collectathon platformers.

>>5679457
At least it's not the console which got 5 yearly Crash game releases in a row, 3 yearly Spyro games in a row, 5 yearly Tomb Raider games in a row, 5 yearly Ridge Racer games in a row, etc and so on.

PS1 fans should be the last fucking people accusing any other platform of sameyness.

>another fucking console war thread

>>5679460
not to mention the gorillion of rpgs lol

>>5679460
3 spyro games is still less than the plethora of generic collectathons that the N64 has.

>>5679473
It's not a console war thread. It's just a thread about Silent Hill: The Console.

>>5679479
you're saying thay while the ps1 had even more below-average collectathons, and a bunch of them based on tv shows or movies.

>>5679476
Jrpg's are good unlike shitty collectathons like mario, goemon and banjo, fuck off.

>>5679479
Most of the N64 "collectathons" are actually pretty good and fairly distinguished from each other. Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are a lot different from each other than Spyro 1 and even Spyro 3 are.

You want to talk about generic collectathons? Check out how many literal shovelware titles in that area exist on PS1.

>>5679485
>actually trying to argue Jarpigs are a better genre than others

>>5679420
N64 has racing games?

>>5679420
Best platforms for racing games are non-retro (6th gen starts to have some really great peripherals and games) but to stay on topic, PSX and Dreamcast. N64 had some fun racing games and good party racers but there was nothing like Gran Turismo at the time.

>>5679460
thats why i love the saturn, see?

>>5679535
>there was nothing like Gran Turismo at the time
World Driver Championship is a pretty decent clone for N64 though

>>5679545
Played that one with the old man. Good times

>>5679545
I wish they all looked like this all the time. Instead these games all take place on bboring-ass racing tracks that are just asphalt, white and red borders and trees sticking from behind those. Why the fuck can't someone make a modern racing game with some inventiveness and variety like Outrun(ners)?

>no strategy games
>no role-playing games
>few (good) fighters
>no beat 'em ups
>no shmups
>few action-platformers
It must've sucked hard being an N64fag.

Glad I made the right choice getting a PS1 instead.

>>5679602
But hey, at least it has a bunch of racing games that have aged badly.

>>5679535
>best platforms for racing games are non-retro
We're reaching levels of retardation ITT that shouldn't be possible

>>5679647
richard burns rally shits on any retro racing game, lad

>>5679498
Are you kidding? Like 1/6 of the N64 library is racers.

>>5679665
Name three

>>5679602
Why not both? 4-player party games were fun too.

>>5679671
Wipeout 64

>>5679647
I won't really delve into why I believe it's true since the games are not retro but I will say that the steering wheels and other racing peripherals are miles ahead of where they were in 1999. The really great force feedback steering wheels started to pop up around PS2 era. That's not to say that retro systems don't have great racing games.

>>5679696
sorry anon, but that's baby stuff.
good baby stuff, but baby stuff.

>>5679710
The N64 had racing sims that weren't aimed at kids: Nascar, several F1 games, GT 64, Indy, Supercross, Monaco Grand Prix, Rally Challenge, WRC, etc. Whether any of those are actually good is another story.

>taking console sim games seriously
It's a CTR vs Mario Kart 64/Diddy Kong racing question.

>>5679735
sans Supercross, gt64 and rally challenge (has Genki ever made a good racer?), all those racing games are considered by many to be good (F1WGP was highly praised at the time).
