Forums - Gaming - Hindsight II: Which Console was REALLY more powerful? Playstation or N64

Perfect Dark. Turok 2 Seeds of Evil (with Expansion pack).  PS1 couldn't touch that graphically if it wanted to.

I think you're confusing this with Perfect Dark on the 360.  Perfect Dark is a great game, but it's also a very ugly looking game(for the N64 atleast.)

N64. PS1 games were bigger because of the disc space. N64 carts were limited, but still looks better than any game on the PlayStation.



N64 is more powerful.

The N64 really had some beautiful games but Spyro on the PS1 was up there..

LOL come on now. You couldn't have honestly believed this was a PSone pic.



btw on topic the N64 was more powerful. Would have loved to see what more developers would have done on it if the console had more support.

lol fraid not. Perfect Dark for N64 was among the best the console could do. Don;t know what game you are thinking of, cause it required the expansion pack to even function.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

N64 graphics were a fog and blur fest with horrible textures.

Prefered PS1 pixelated "bare of filter effects" looks, but better FMV, better pre rendered bgs, better audio, etc.

Overall PS1 was just better.



Isn't it obvious? The games on the N64 clearly look better. I don't even have to know anything about the hardware to decide that.
