Can we be real for a second please. These consoles are a complete joke. They are like a caveman's idea of what hardware is compared to PC. They had almost no memory or graphical prowess at all, to the point where even something like DOOM had to be downgraded. They had no real RPGs, like Diablo, Fallout, or Planescape, and they had no real RTS or strategy games because the memory, resolution and input was far too lacking. These consoles have extremely low framerates and animation counts, and really low polygon and simple level design. Put the PS1 in the trash and try out Quake just one time and you will see the difference.

I’d make the argument that there are a lot of games that came from that generation that are still worth replaying today, and the hardware limitations pushed the developers to put as much shit as possible onto the game. Now, we get 40 gb of uncompressed audio alone in new releases.

They were all more powerful than PCs at 3D at the time of their release. All of them.

No shit. Do not remember how much a decent PC cost back then?

You wanted all that for $299 in a small form factor, with low power consumption?

I dunno man I prefer these consoles over all others. Hundreds of good games on the Saturn and PS1.

Implying raw hardware performance of a given platform is the sole factor responsible for the quality of games released for it...

Oh yeah totally, which is why none of them could run Quake on par with a PC.

Yes, please tell me how well Quake ran on 1994-era Intels without any 3D accelerators to help out.

Atari 2600 games ran at 60fps with no jaggies or fog. How can the So_y Gaystation and Nogames64 even compare?

Get fucked, you absolute child. PC hardware is obsolete like 4 months after it is released, so you sound like a fag and your shit's all retarded.

This thread is a trap. I'm just looking at everyone's comments to a person who clearly didn't check the library of each console out. Every one of those 3 systems released some decent RTS games. Too funny.

I find joy in playing these ancient games but forget it's your world and i'm just living in it. Imagine being so fragile that everyone must like exactly the same things you do. You are wasting resources and space living on this planet you fucking energy vampire.
