Imagine comparing a very violent action film with loads of sex scenes to an elaborate, deep art film with a very intriguing plot, brilliantly written dialogue and believable performances by all actors.
You picked an decent example. Its just there was a terrible movie called "The Fast and the Furious" released in the 50s which has no relation to the 2001 film - which are just stupid fun movies. The problem is that the allusion does not work very well. There are games on every major console that are pretty, and others that are intriguing and brilliantly written. But you have to compare apples to apples. I mean a pretty RPG is always going to look better than a pretty FPS.

I feel the exact same way. I have never cared for Ocarina of Time, at all. Wind Waker wasn't really my cup of tea either, but it was way more Zelda than Ocarina of Time was. To me anyway.

OoT was great. MM was amazing. WW was perfect.

I definitely like MM more than OOT. The story is just so interesting, and well... F'd up.

Yeah, what an ugly mess.
Yeah, pick out the best looking game why dont ya? :roll:

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.
If you're going to use Chrono Cross, maybe I should use Perfect Dark or Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Those look almost as good as Deus Ex, a PC exclusive from the same year.

Why not just use Sin & Punishment?

Because I have never played it, and don't really know much about it, since it didn't come out in the US. Not knowing much about it includes not knowing that the graphics are supposed to be any good. *looks at screenshots*
You're kidding, right? Or does it look better in person?

What site did you go to?

I think that graphically it is one of the most impressive N64 games.

Why wouldn't I pick a visually impressive game as an example of a visually impressive game? Makes sense to me.

As for Perfect Dark and Conker, Perfect Dark looks very good. Conker doesn't though. I know it all comes down to preference and taste when you're saying which console looks better, but I don't see how it could even be argued that the N64 does 3D better than the PS.
