Here is a good looking 2D PSX game. It looks to me about as detailed as 240p resolution can support.

This is the bar I have set. In addition to telling me why it looks like shit and how Saturn would do it better I also expect you to give examples of 2D Saturn games that look noticeably prettier/more advanced.

For the saturn it should be a 2d console, until the ceo fucked this up.

Just compare several 2D games on both systems: any Capcom or SNK port (even those who don't use the extra RAM, still have more frames on Saturn), EWJ 2 (has more background layer effects).
Saturn is better at 2D than PS and there's plenty evidence for it.

95% of 2D games on both systems look nigh identical

>> No.5863674

Compare animation heavy capcom fighters of the time,like x-men vs street fighter. The ps1 version not only had less frames of animation, but lacked the tag system altogether because they couldn't fit all the fighters in memory. It was the same for marvel superheroes vs Street fighter too. The ps1 versions were terrible ports because the hardware was shit at 2d.

>hardware was shit at 2D
Compared to the Saturn, and what else exactly? The ps1 was fine at 2D. If it was actually shit at 2D it probably wouldn't have succeeded as much, because not only was a sizeable portion of the library 2D, but a lot of 3D games rely on 2D graphics.

The Saturn however was actually shit at 3D, which is one reason why it failed.

Saturn could use VDP2 to do infinite plane backgrounds, otherwise most 2D stuff that doesn't use the 4MB cart looks the same as PS1.

They look identical but they run like trash on PSX and have missing frames. Must mean the Saturn and PSX are equal!

Saturn is shit, it had some half decent fighting games ports and that's it, there's no comparing it to the PS1. It doesn't matter if you have a 1% technical advantage over your competitor if you have zero decent games.

nothing on the PS1 looks as good as Princess Crown or Nanatsu Kaze

Saturn being more capable at 2D isn't a meme, PS1 being bad at 2D is. it's a perfectly fine machine for 2D graphics, it only lacks RAM for Neo Geo-tier animation and Sony didn't care about RAM carts

How the Fuck are we still arguing this in 2019 the Saturn and n64 have better specs then the ps1 period. It's just the ps1 was easier to develop for so games would look better on it especially ports.

>Where is the evidence that Saturn has better 2D than PS1?
Gee I dunno, maybe all those 2D games on the saturn for starters.
