Playstation vs Saturn

Technically? Both have their own pros and cons but I think ultimately Saturn is more impressive.
PS is like in the middle, you know? It does have a better video codec than the Saturn though, so for FMVs Playstation is better

[Anonymous No.4375330]

If you thought N64 was the better one of this gen, then you probably don't value fighters and shmups, which means Saturn won't offer you anything special, whereas PSX has better shooters, platformers, racing, sports, and puzzle games than Sega's machine.

I was about to make a thread for the new webms I made but this thread is more than adequate for what I had in mind. Objectively the Playstation is miles ahead of the Saturn (which I hate admitting since I really don't like it all that much); superior hardware, infinitely more third party support, and a company behind it that wasn't insane. The Saturn, which I believe could have hit around GameCube level sales had it been managed competently, was pretty bad at 3D despite what SOME people claim (http://www.shinforce.com/saturn/information/3D-Capabilities.htm))

It also couldn't do transparencies easily leading to the much maligned meshes that were shoved down everyone's throat. Personally, I think they're a charming little quirk but apparently people have a real problem with them. If you ask me, the REAL obtrusive hardware "quirk" is the quad distortion. While the Playstation had tons of affine warping (which is nauseating in its own right), Saturn's warping isn't much better and due to the nature of its polygon rendering is impossible to remedy even in emulators. What's especially confusing is that people claim that the Saturn warps LESS than the Playstation which in my experience is total BS.

I guess what it comes down to is the games, and both have a lot. My problem with the Playstation's library is that 90% of its critically acclaimed games are better played on other platforms, like the entire Tomb Raider series (which ironically began development on the Saturn), Resident Evil(s), Soul Reaver, etc. That said, I think the Playstation DOES have Silent Hill to itself, and it has the definitive version of SOTN (the Saturn version is a long story). If you're a fan of RPGs then I'm sure you'll enjoy the console although I personally don't have that much experience with it.

The Saturn is a very mixed bag. If you like 90s arcade games, then this is without a doubt the console to chose, both 2D and 3D. It has tons of exclusives that remained chained to it...

Nice bait.

Anyway, it depends. Saturn was more expansive, so it wins in that regard (Netlink adapter, RAM expansion, VCD player add-on), but out of the box, PSX was both more powerful and easier to code for. However, Saturn could do 2D better than the PSX thanks to its second video chip which was like mode 7 on steroids, which is why it could handle so many 2D arcade game conversions almost perfectly, whereas they suffered on the PSX. Controller-wise, both the model 2 pad and NiGHTS controller were superior to PSX's. Yes, Dualshock gets some merit for having two sticks, but rarely any game actually used both of them. Library is tied, Saturn wins in terms of first-party while PSX wins in terms of everyone else supporting it. In the end, it really comes down to what you want from a console. As for me, I prefer 2D games and the Saturn pad, so I enjoy the Saturn more.

[Anonymous No.4375385]

>>4375361
...like NiGHTS, the Panzer Dragoon series (I hear Saga is one of the best RPGs ever made but that sounds to me like sad Saturn owners trying to compensate), and speaking of which, a TON of Japanese exclusive RPGs. Pretty much every first party Saturn game is excellent and worth owning, minus a few early launch titles like Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA, but they're cheap enough that it doesn't really matter in the end. At any rate, the Saturn's library is good in its own right, although you may have to do a bit of searching to find something that you can really fall in love with (in my case, NiGHTS). But that's just me.

tl;dr if you're a normalfag then choose the Playstation, if you're a weirdo, bandwaggoner, or collector who has already tried everything else, then choose the Saturn. If you're not poor, choose both.

Why do you get surprised about N64 (released years after the other 2) is more advanced?
It's not fair to compare the N64 to SS/PS because the later came before, and thus have less capabilities, other than CD storage.
I know, people could argue "but PS has a gorillion games!" and that's okay, but probably OP asks about the systems in terms of tech, not libraries.

Nah I disagree the PlayStation has better Software overall the thing is most people here didn't even own a Saturn hence the PlayStation library has been played to death and they are bored of it by now. I lived in Hong Kong at the time and owned both systems the Saturn library is great but it got culled so the final true year for Saturn was 1998 meanwhile the PlayStation kept delivering.

OP never said really, but anyway the N64 is somewhat more powerful on 3D but its 2D showcase leaves a lot to be desired.

[Anonymous No.4375889]

PS1 simply blows saturn out of the water in 3D for three main reasons: faster T&L, more fill rate and actual texture coordinates.
To explain the last one, on the saturn, every quad you draw ALWAYS have the whole texture in it, as it is an "sprite".
So you need to do all sorts of kludges to stretch the texture over the 3D models.

Saturn -> more VRAM, theoretically faster code, VDP2 is a 2D powerhouse, can support even more RAM, features online multiplayer.

PlayStation -> more Sound RAM, ADPCM compression, MUCH more flexible 3D, native 2D support but limited by DMA draw calls, native support for VCD-tier FMVs, supports far greater array of dot clocks for different screen resolutions, features serial multiplayer.

I was a genesis kid, got a ps1 and was satisfied with that. I heard tons of n64 hype back in the day, so I was curious to check out the n64 once I was finally able to and man it was really fucking disappointing. Literally Majora's Mask, Mario 64, Mischief Makers and Sin and Punishment were the only good games on the machine.

But I also much prefer 2d to 3d I like rpgs, 2d platformers, shoot em ups, arcade games, etc.

So then I got around to finally getting into the Saturn and its like where the fuck has this thing been my entire life. The saturn still has an inferior library to the ps1, but I'll gladly take the saturn over the n64.

Better FMV's, better library of games(although for the Sega Saturn, it's mostly imports), better sound. I feel like I get the full experience with either console, whereas the N64 I can't get it because it lacks the ability to produce a quality FMV & sound. This was mainly the case with WWF games. If you compare WWF Smackdown 2 to WWF No Mercy, the entrance videos and music is better on Smackdown 2. I enjoyed both games, but the N64 does have it's short comings, hence why Resident Evil 1, Parasite Eve, Metal Gear Solid & Final Fantasy 7 never came to the N64.

Doesn't matter. I had compared the sound quality with both PS1 & N64 with the WWF games. Guess what? PS1 won every single time.

No, when I use the term "maturity" I'm speaking of, making a game that's genre wasn't totally developed. For instance, PS had the better version of RE, which revolutionized the Survival Horror genre born with Alone in the Dark. Also think 3D platformers like Jumping Flash, rhythm games like Parappa and DDR, . Couple that with being the first system to have two analog sticks, a lot of people believe it was Halo that codified FPS controls for console, but that was actually the PS version of Quake 2 that did it first.

Then there were the 16 bit styled game that bloomed in the PS 32 bit era, like SOTN, and Suikoden. Saturn, as much as I actually love it, was more of an arcade port system than anything.

>supports far greater array of dot clocks for different screen resolutions,

The Saturn had technically more different resolutions, and it didn't take away from the VRAM no matter which one used. But they were all silly permutations and it couldn't do shading in any of the hi-res modes.

PSX had the 368px and 256/512px modes which were very useful, though. I don't get why they didn't do a 256/512px mode on the Saturn, especially considering that they needed it to ape all the SNES titles away more easily, and that it would have perfectly lined up in the 256k framebuffers. Also with 512px width, they could've used 15bit textures too, unlike the other higher resolution modes that forced 8bit.

The 640/704 x 240p mode was nifty though, a shame that they only used it in a few games. Winter Heat used it and it has incredibly clear graphics without flickering.

But yeah some games specifically switched to using low-res modes in sequels so they can do shading instead. If they could do shading properly in hi-res mode, there wouldn't have been a single damn reason to use low-res at all, and it would've made 3d games look way better.

In that case, I think PS games were generally the opposite of maturity in terms of genres, since most of these new genres were still developing, and most only attained maturity during 6th or 7th gen (and some continue developing, for the better or the worse).
5th gen in general was an experimental phase, some games nailed it, some games were good but were ultimately forgotten (Jumping Flash), and some games just weren't that good (The Crow or Superman 64)

They were exclusive for a time. PC gaming was not nearly as prominent as console gaming due to being extremely clunky.

People forget that drivers were an absolute pain in the ass. Thankfully, this is significantly easier now and most drivers are one time installs and continuous updates.

Now, sure, the PC versions are superior. But games like Metal Gear Solid may as well have been console exclusive.

The saturn has more vram but it is less flexible as it is split between both vdps and what do you mean with faster code? Psx is actually faster at processing.

Yeah, it has a more stable framerate. The Saturn version was really bad at that.

Mostly just the infinite background planes that got less detailed. But things like the parallax tunnel on the last stage were intact. And it actually added some extra effects, like proper transparencies.

On the upside, the Saturn version has better audio (CDDA vs ADPCM), but the PSX version had more content (FMVs, gallery, some trial gameplay modes).

>a single light source

The PSX didn't have any more either. All it could do was make a triangle and either do flat shading of 1 specified colour, or gouraud shading with 1 colour per vertex.

If you wanted to do more than one light source, you had to manually compute the sum of the colours before sending it to the hardware. On both consoles.

The picture you posted was from ONE single SDK. And an early one at that. One of the STI coders mentioned it on Sega Retro that they did a code that could compute 3 light sources entirely on the DSP (so without taxing the main cpu at all).

>>4378618
No, that happens because there is no depth information, textures are essentially 2d transformed. See affine mapping. The PSX would actually make it look much, much worse, since it would use two triangles instead of one quad.

[Anonymous No.4378656]

>>4378581
>This gave the Saturn that crappy look, compare Tomb Raider and Resident Evil on the PSX.

What gave the Saturn a crappy look in 3d games is that it had less texture memory, it had a third of the polygon fillrate, it had half the colour depth, and it had very difficult to use shading (you either use RGB textures which eat 2x memory, or you precompute every single shaded pixel). Also it could only shade in the lowest resolutions.

>>4378708
The GPU could only do 1 light per vertex, same as the Saturn, just more efficiently. Unless you mean the 3 lights as each individual colour components (R, G, B), which I suppose works out as such - but the Saturn could do that too. Albeit only in RGB mode that nobody actually used, they used palette mode most of the time, and in that you had to do shading through a hardware quirk (which allowed for bump mapping, not that any game ever took advantage of that).

>Also, the PSX could draw quads mixed with triangles, if you use quads, you can draw more polygons on screen.

The draw quads command broke the quads down to two triangles internally. It was only there for convenience.
I think what you mean is the draw sprite command, which was indeed twice as fast because it was a straight memory copy with no processing; this also meant that you couldn't put shading on them.

I couldn't care less about Nintendo but that's how Capitalism works, my child. If you have a problem with that move to some communist country like North Korea.

>that bumps genuinely good threads off of /vr/.
Those threads were going to 404 any moment if that happened. It takes days if not weeks of no one bumping a thread to reach page 10 here. That being said it's tiresome seeing the same blatant flame war topics getting hundreds of posts and absolutely no attempt by moderation to curb down on them even though they're up for days.
