It would've been better as a polished PS1 title and would've sold much better.
Now he's dissing the SNES. Someone grab the flaming torches.

The other Ogre games are on the PS1.

I like how the SNES sounds. It's got a very distinct sound that is quite nostalgic for me.

I downloaded it from the Wii Store, it sucks. The sequel on the Wii though was cool.

Have we found the new Mozgus?

Though to be frank, I can't stand the way most SNES games sound. Opinions man. :roll:

The SNES had a great sound chip hampered by very short sample length, meaning everything had to have the crap filtered out of it. Sure, it sounded good, but it also sounded like it was underwater, playing out of a metal canister, or through a couple blankets, and sometimes more than just one of those.

Mozgus was funny at times though.

Well, do be frank, I'm not a fan of Panzar Dragoon Saga.

Just WHY does Sin & Punishment suck, by the way? You might as well go all the way with this one.

I'm old enough and I say you have no idea what you're talking about

The N64 is famous for its blur. Nintendo made some (IMO) poor decisions with the N64's graphics hardware and how the hardware was used. However, when the hardware was used well, the results are quite good. Look at this resident evil 2 ps1/n64 comparison. The PS1 has sharper backgrounds in all the shots, but the difference is not all that great. Both consoles look dated and blurry. The N64 does a little bit better job with the polygons, but the difference is not all that great. Both consoles look dated.

Some N64 games MP3s or other forms of compressed audio and sound great.
