Forums - Gaming - PSX music was superior to N64 music

The N64 was just as capable of producing the same quality sounds as PS1, but the cartridge format doesn't allow as much room for audio streaming. So you would usually see games making use of the sound hardware, which also happened to be shared with the graphics hardware. So you ended up having to choose between sacrificing sound or visuals for the system to excel at the opposite.

With all that pointed out this is my favourite N64 track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4VEod2_Z6o

Yeah, it was also better at displaying large amounts of preredered data. It also had more software variety. On the other hand, the N64 had better in-game graphics, a far better analog stick, short load times and more games of classic quality.



SILENT HILL?

The actual point of this thread is to point to a failed business decision by Nintendo, and a successful one by Sony. Whether it's one or the other matters little to me, I care about the history of it, and the accuracy of our perception of what actually happened is paramount to me.

That's what this thread is here for.

FYI PSX =/= Playstation 1

PSX = 



*tear* that FFVII music brings back so many memories.

Ofcourse it was, N64 had to use compressed audio files to fit on the cartridge. Goemon 64 had amazing catchy tunes though.



IMO, both are a step backwards from the SPC700.



well nice topic I never really thought about it haha. Both systems gave me enjoyment so I guess the sound didn't bother me too much.
