Sega knew their stuff

[noiseredux]

Am I alone in thinking that Sony and Nintendo should have waited to make the switch to 3D?

Sony, yes. Nintendo, no. The N64 doesn't look as terrible as the PS1, escpecially when you have the expansion pak. Just look at Rayman 2 or Ocarina of Time, they don't look ugly at all. Simple, maybe, but not ugly like PS1.

what??? WHAT???

Yeah... I don't understand that logic either.

[pepharytheworm]

I understand that logic. If you like pixelated mess the PS1 is the way to go. And yeah I know the n64 was foggy.

Yeah, what an ugly mess.

But Chrono Cross is the exception. It is always the exception.

Yeah, pick out the best looking game why dont ya?

I find the most annoying part about PS1 graphics is the warping, something that the Saturn lacks for the most part as a side effect of using quads instead of triangles.

[brunoafh]

I figured posting the best example of the PS1's hardware potential to do 3D made sense. If that doesn't count for some reason, what about Tekken 3, Final Fantasy IX, Vagrant Story, the Gran Turismo games, Einhander, etc?

Another would be 3rd parties not wanting to develop for it. Sorry, couldn't resist, back to the topic at hand.

[noiseredux]

there are a LOT of really great looking PS1 titles. Einhander is another good example, as bruno pointed out. But honestly -- Boring mentioned Zelda Ocarina, which is in my opinion by FAR the ugliest Zelda game ever. Ever. I'm including CDi games man. Ugly.



^seriously. Is this an argument that the N64 knew how to handle polygons?

Yeah, what an ugly mess.

So that picture was taken straight from a ps1? I have Crono Cross and I don't remember it ever looking that clear, still a good looking game mind you. But still shots always look better.
