Yes chance! You didn't answer my question though. I asked how many games you played and owned, not what your favorite games were, I was trying to make a point. PS1 and N64 are comparable on the top 5, N64 edges it out because OoT and Mario 64 are more revolutionary than anything on Playstation. Outside the top 5, PS1 starts leading. Once they exit the top 15, it's a bloody massacre in PS1's favor lol, that's the consensus. Some N64 games aged better than PS1's best visually, expected from a console that launched nearly two years later (they fucked up by sticking with cartridges though). Mechanically, no 3D game comes even close to aging as well as Crash Team Racing. And 5th gen 3D games, 3rd person adventure ones in particular, aged worse than SNES and later 2D games. PS1 and Saturn dominated the N64 in 2D games and traditional RPG's, both of which are mechanically almost unaffected by hardware limitations or the lack of the -now standard- dual stick controller setup. So which library aged better doesn't have a clear cut answer. |
Of course its a massacre when one console has 1000 more games available but on a quality front, the N64 has more gems than duds where as the PS1 had more duds than Gems.
The most memorable and revolutionary games on the N64 is on another level. Rare Studios alone made a giant difference.
Example: I played Siphon Filter and MGS on PS1, i played Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on the N64. Id take the N64 games night and day. Even though MGS was amazing and a Masterpiece in its own right, Siphon Filter was bad. Where as Goldeneye and PD were revolutionary and game changing masterpieces.
