Yeah, but I didn't see any pre-rendered cinemas that good on the N64.  And the look of the actual game didn't take that much away from it.

 

The N64 had better 3D graphics than the PS1.  Many RPG's of that era (including FFVIII) used tricks to make you think they looked good.  Of course there was pre-rendered cinema scenes, which took advantage of the disk format, but I am not talking about that.  One trick used by FFVIII, FFVII and the Resident Evil series is a picture background with a fixed camera angle.

That is beside the point.  The SNES era was the last generation based on 2D graphics.  It has what I consider to be good looking 2D graphics.  The PS1/N64 era was the first generation based on 3D graphics.  It has what I consider to be bad looking 3D graphics.  I will take a good looking 2D game over a bad looking 3D game anyday.

They're both great, but Snes holds a special place in my heart that will never be replaced by any other console.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

Yeah looking at that gamepay footage... I never saw an N64 game look that well. Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 didn't.



Heavens to Murgatoids.

Zelda OOT definitely had the best graphics during the PS/N64/Saturn era. Most people will agree on that.

Ocarina of Time was the best GAME of that generation as well.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Playstation all the way. As much as I enjoyed SNES back in the day, PS just cannot be competed against. MGS, GT, Crash, Tomb Raider.... ahhhh the memories.

      I still think FFVIII looks great and if they used tricks to make the mind make it think it looked that good, well, then they accomplished their goal.

if you can't tell what a pre-rendered backround or an FMV is then yea, sure.  I can't believe people still argue about this stuff, N64 had many games that looked better than FF8, my guess is you never played them.

 



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
