System Wars: 1995 Edition

Silly calves, the Playstation will never be able to take over Nintendo's reign. The Ultra 64 will kick it's ass. Have you seen the new screenshots for Zelda 64? Holy crap!

Damn! Look at those graphics. NEXT GEN, BABY! AAAA, calling it now. Sig me if ya want. What does the PS have on this? Final Fantasy? Lol, jumped the shark the moment it moved over to PS. FF7 will flop, no doubt.

Also, Saturn will make a comeback with Sonic X-treme. I mean, c'mon, Sonic in 3D! Can't fail!

Damn the final OOT looks 2 generations ahead of those pics.

Anyway 3DO for life!!!

I remember Nintendo talked about the "dolphin project" back then. .. Was that allready released? Was it the GC...or Wii? killerfist

That was the Gamecube.

I can't believe I have to sell my Saturn because it no longer has games on it :cry:

*the same thing happend to Sega with DreamCast in 2001. Shows how unlucky Sega were with console making business*

Sony says this is gameplay

ATARI JAGUAR 64!!!! first TRUE 64bit system:?rogelio22

Seriously, Atari would make more money selling DBZ games or something.

Huh, I was a PC and MAC gamer back then...no intrest in consoles at all. Marathon and Quake were like bread and butter to me! :PImOldGreg

i sig bet sheep that PSX will outsell the ultra 64 and saturn and all other current gen consoles combined.

U know nothing, the JAGUAR is "alledgedly" the most powerful console ever, it is touted as "more powerful than the saturn and PS1 put together"*.

Its game catalogue is gonna be huge, supposedly.

Come on, atari where there at the beginning they know exactly wot they are doing,(if u ignore the whole E.T. debacle)

*quoted from some PR guy in a suit.

Did people really think that the graphics were good back then?

Yeah...when compared to SNES graphics, of course we did. Where you old enough back then to remember the first glimpses of 3D games? If not, you'd have to erase all of what consoles have been capable of for the past two generations in order to fully understand why we were blown away by such screenshots when they first surfaced.

Quite, I was amazed when i first saw tekken.

Now i need some seriously thick rose tinted glasses to appreciate them.

Even now, I think there are quite a few games of the generation that look visually appealing.

I don't think Resident Evil 2 is hard to look at at all. :)

I didnt intend to imply the gameplay is not still appreciated. in many cases (a couple uve mentioned) the games themselves havnt been surpassed in gamplay. However in most cases the graphics have. I can still appreciate retro graphics for the time they were done and the benchmarks they set. (I am still a spriteaholic).

Also I still think Ocarina of time is one of the best lookin games of all time. My point is some games now look really bad, in the case of tekken it has been surppassed in graphics and gameplay.

Also playin some old racing games seems almost impossible cus i've been spoiled by smotheness and HD.

"However, the clean sprites/backgrounds of Super Mario World, the sharp, beautiful water effects of Wave Race 64, the gorgeous colors, animation and lighting in Wind Waker to me are the type of elements in graphics that never seem to get ugly." FFCYAN

Hmm ive really messed the quote thing up there.

Yep, i suppose it comes down to the artistic side of the graphics. Sprite bases games especialy can be almost ageless, if origional and well realised such as earthworm jim, most mario games, gunstar heroes and the ever present Metal slug. Hope I convinced im not some graphics whore, it wasnt intended.

Any way where was I.........oh yes, the Atari jaguars AVP is the best FPS ever, even better than Halo and KZ2*, altho as im speakin from a 1995 perspective, they wont appear for over a decade.

*again with the PR speak

lol, just try playing an FPS with this controller:

Looks like the deformed offspring of a Genesis pad and a phone.

Ah probably the most innovative control ever................nope cant BS this one it was a bit (translate "alot") rubbish, even tho u didnt look up and down in FPS's in those golden years

Games need more calculations. Having automatic calculations of your stats in RPGs is so last gen.

Revolutionary Jaguar RPGs givve you the formula, and then you figure out how much HP you have. It's much better.

lol! contra 1 and contra 2 and battle tank were the best.

Real gamers play this bad boy! HARDCORE!

:lol: Great case design. Looks like a model #1 Genesis.

Back in those days I was a fan of the Sega Saturn then Nintendo 64 since my first console was the original NES. It had some great games but the games were so darn expensive, i remember paying 80 bucks for War Gods (mortal kombat clone). I also had Killer instinct Gold which was awesome. As well as Mortal kombat trilogy, MK4, and subzero mytholories... and of course Zelda (1st one).
