this is actually worse though, fotographing a TV will hide the imperfections

This is how they were played, and meant to be played. In fact, Genesis designers, because of its low color palette, often used the scanlines as a means to achieve a smoother gradient. I'm sure this logic applied to other consoles as well.Heirren

I wasn't aware games were meant to be played while looking at camera that is aimed at a TV

not really, for starters photographs tend to hide jaggies, something which TVs do not

[QUOTE="Heirren"] A decent photograph of a game running on a tv from the era these games were released is a more accurate portrayal of how they actually looked. Heirren

I don't think you understand me. I'm not denying that TV's have an impact

what I'm saying is, Photographing a TV screen will hide imperfections which are shown on the actual TV, the main offender usually being jaggies, but there are others

[QUOTE="Heirren"] Actually the quality of the image from the older gens was greatly dependent on the display device. These were different times--I agree with you if we're talking about ps3 or 360, though. But even then in the case of the ps3, which doesn't hardware upscale to 1080p, depends a lot on the quality of your tv. Heirren

[QUOTE="Heirren"] It's still the most accurate way, IMO. When do we ever see direct feed snes games running on the actual hardware?Heirren

they use capture cards, it's possible they mod the system to output components but they always play using the real hardware, in fact often they switch up, like you often see mark play a gameboy game, on a gameboy, a GBA, the SNES super gamboy and the gamecube gameboy player all on the same video

He is right.

Old CRT TVs had a smoother picture than modern HDTVs do.

Direct feed console shots all look terrible becuase they are not running on their native display device.

I'm not denying any of that

Oh its snes verse genesis hands down. I think the winner was the snes and that the snes was the best console ever made with the best and largest collection of good games such as rpgs like chrono trigger and final fantasy 3 which have yet to be beaten to this day,

When I think of the phrase 'Console War' I think SNES v Genesis

PS vs. N64 wasn't even a war. It was a massacre. Only Nintendo fanboys think it was ever a real competition.Dudersaper

PS1 - N64 wasn't a war.

The N64 was a gen ahead, only Sony fanatics can't handle the truth.

i liked the snes genesis war. i chose the supernintendo. i mean it had donkey kong country the most advanced technology in 3d modeling at the time.

as for the n64 psx war,l the psx won in sales and library diversity but the n64 won in game quality.

I'll say the Genesis and SNES. Like other people have said, it was the start of 'vs' thinking in marketing (in video games) and the age group it was geared at was just the right target audience for that kind of b.s.. I never felt the N64 and PSX were in a war. I felt that it was the Saturn and the PSX that were in competition. To me, the N64 was kind of just doing it's own thing. AtelierFan

SNES vs. Genesis for me because both systems have aged extremely well.

For PS1 vs N64 I feel like PS1 did not age well at all but N64 has aged better than PS1.

N64 & SNES over PS1 & Genesis, although all great systems in thier own right.

He's not asking what were the best systems. He asking what you thought was the bigger war: PSX vs. N64 or SNES vs. Genesis.

Nintendo for the win... hehehe

I'm asking, why would anyone want to play either version of Doom today :P

the SNES version looks terrible and has massive framerate and input lag issues

and the 32x version sounds terrible and is missing a lot of the levels

I don't agree, from what I hear the PS1 version is pretty good.

It's not about having the best looking version, it's just that... well.. the SNES and 32x versions are not what I could call good games :P
