Why SM64 is more famous exactly?

Anonymous Mon May 23 09:19:32 2016 No.3237161

Just like how Crash Team Racing is a better cart-racer than Mario Kart 64, yet MK64 is more "famous" than CTR. Or how Mario Party is more famous than Crash Bash.

You can clearly see that around this time, Naughty Dog was attempting to copy the Mario "formula" for these games when they made their Crash-based 3D platformer, cart-racer, and party game. Granted, there are differences between the games, and often the Crash-based games had improvements since they came later, but there's no denying that the Mario games were the inspiration behind them. The trailblazer in these instances are more likely to be well-remembered than the imitators who tried to come later.

Also, it's Mario. Let's be real here, you simply can't beat Mario's popularity.

But narrow corridors instead of wide expansive worlds. It seemed old fashioned even if it looked good.

>better music

Nah. The music in the Crash games has always been the definition of average.

>better controls

At least they fixed the input lag from the first game, but Mario's got a huge incredibly fluid moveset while Crash has a couple of cookie cutter moves.

>better level design

Nah, level design has never been a strength of the series. Even the developers openly admitted they designed levels for nice graphics first and then tried to fit a game into those levels.

>better difficulty

I dunno what you mean by better? Do you mean more difficult?

I played Crash 2 for the first time recently and while it was a good game, I don't think it can hold a candle to Super Mario 64.

For one, it felt more like a 2.5D game than a 3D game. It was a lot like Donkey Kong Country but if it broke up the sidescroller segments with narrow hallways. I thought the fixed camera was a problem in moments where you had to run towards the camera - not being able to see what's in front of you is dubious design.

Super Mario 64 was much more revolutionary by giving you fully open environments to explore, and yes, you could make the argument that Crash Bandicoot is a more traditional platformer, but I think Mario 64 nailed what it set out to do, especially considering it was more or less uncharted territory at the time.

I aint gonna touch those other subjects, since SM64 is lacking in some of them (especially difficulty), but seriously?
>better controls
I'll never understand people preferring these weightless twitch platformers without any form of momentum. Momentum is integral to platforming feeling good! SM64 has weight and momentum. Not realistic, but it has it, and it can be felt when moving and bouncing across stages. Crash feels wholly separated from the world around him and weightless, and while it is easier to do precision maneuvering in the air, it will NEVER feel as satisfying as when proper momentum is involved.

So many kids subconsciously mad that they've enjoyed an inferior pile of shit game for so long because Nintendo viral marketed the shit out of it because they limped to the next generation late with a steaming pile of shit and decided to pay off reviewers and create a new generation of non-gamers that care more about its bright colors and style over its horrible controls.

Crash was a fucking decent game. Not perfect, but decent. But so much hatred for it because you were all FUCKING brainwashed by Shitendo in the mid-90s with their shift to sell garbage to idiots thus killing Good Nintendo.

I'm not here to defend crash nor do I dislike Mario 64, but that game is to platformers what MGS5 is to MGS level design. Mario 64 levels are huge in scale with absolutely nothing in them, maybe a few blocks and slopes. It's Mario's acrobatics that made platforming next gen, but the levels were primitive as fuck. At least Crash 1, especially the side view levels, were absolutely nothing but platforming Ultra-Nightmare.

It's easy enough to defend a game that does nothing but play it safe. Mario 64 levels may be relatively primitive, but the space accomodates Mario's hugely innovative and versatile moveset. Crash has a few stock moves and most of the difficult platforming was focus-tested out before release, with the exception of Slippery Climb. Their focus was undeniably pointed toward making a pretty game over a rewarding gameplay experience. That's why Crash doesn't measure up to Mario 64. And fyi, there is more complexity in the making of a level like Tick Tock Clock or Tall Tall Mountain, where the goal can be reached in a variety of novel ways, than in any one of Crash's hallways or extremely linear 2D platforming segments

SM64 is the definition of a game that's aged poorly. There's 15
repetitive courses with 7 stars each as well as 15 hidden stars.
FUCK THAT. The game is set out to be a grand scope of a 3D environment
that only ends up being tedious to explore less than an hour into
gameplay. Also thanks to the cartridge medium, the textures are garbage and
there's only 10 tracks of music in the wole game. 2D Mario shits all over
that with the very first game having 32 unique and challenging levels.
Crash Bandicoot's first entry, on the other hand, had 33 levels with
6 unique boss fights, unlike SM64's throw the bad guy off of the stage bosses.
Crash Bandicoot was enjoyable enough because it played the platform game safe;
literally a 2D platformer in 3D. Crash was great because it wasn't trying to be
the collect-a-thons that SM64, DK64 and Banjo-Kazooie were, albeit Spyro did
that better than those games too. It was just a tried and true platformer and
that's satisfying enough for me.

Because SM64's gameplay has a higher skill ceiling, allowing people to discover new tricks within the game 20 years later.

Crash, on the other hand, may as well be an FMV game.

How is Crash not a collectathon? You run through the levels collecting gems and fruit and stuff. It's no less focused on collecting than any of the other games you mentioned.

Also, comparing the quantity of levels in those games isn't really a fair comparison because Mario 64's levels are much larger than the other games with considerably more replayability.

I think the Crash games are really great, but the argument that they're better games because they didn't try to innovate doesn't hold up.

Why the fuck was there an option to fight cortex at the end? I've been meaning to play it again to finally beat it.

I'd argue Uncharted is the modern Crash.
Unlikeable main character, hallways, platforming without momentum. It also added shitty puzzles and dull shooting elements, but the platforming stuff is like Crash.

Crash feels overdesigned I guess. Feels like everything is placed so that you can easily hold down up and press X every now and again and make it though levels with little difficulty.

Like they knew exactly how far Crash jumps and designed the obstacles in the levels to always be just on the edge of his range to maximise the feelings of being Good At Videogames the player experiences.

Basically how Tomb Raider was all on a grid but without the satisfaction you get from the execution. It follows through into Naughty Dogs modern games too. A sense of forced risk that means you never really feel like Nathan Drake is in any danger.

That holds true for most of Crash, but the parts that were designed as actual expert segments were quite difficult (before mastering them). With the exception of Crash 1, the games were never difficult until warp room 3.5 to 5 where it lays down the pressure on you. It was designed so beating the game with all purple crystals can be done by literally anyone, but the proper game itself is getting all the clear gems and colored gems, basically a lite casual filter.
