Gaming - PS3 vs N64 - View Post

Clearly anyone saying PS3 wan't actually around in the N64 days! The N64 was revolutionary, the PS3 is evolutionary. There are several N64 games which not only rewrote the rules on gaming and defined whole new genres, but are still just as playable today as they were back then.

The PS3 may have some good games, but none of them have done for gaming what the likes of Mario 64, Zelda OOT and Goldeneye have.


This is... pretty subject, dude. Really don't appreciate the generalization. I didn't own a N64 but my brother did and I played quite a good deal of what most people consider the best on N64.

Also, interesting when looking at what D21lewis' and twesterm's posts. You point out games that were supposedly "genre defining/creating" but critics and PS3 gamers were saying the same about 2 PS3 games if i'm not mistaken [Heavy Rain and LBP] and this gen isn't over yet. One could argue that advancements in technology are the drive behind what's impressive about those games but so was popularization of 3D visuals--a tech based innovation--for those games that you mentioned. Everything felt new and refreshing back then.

The two systems are more comparable than you think and I think you're really undermining the PS3.
