Let's answer this once and for all, which was the GOAT? -*Playstation vs N64*-

N64 vs Dreamcast is a much more even debate

 

[Ze Pequeno]

Heres the problem with this age old debate

Playstation had a library that was so deep and varied, and unique, and risky, and awesome, that the 'name the best games' discussion actually gets fractured and crazy. Its like going to a University library and going "find the five best books" like where do I begin. The n64 game selection is like going to the used video store and trying to find a gem in comparison.

N64 you WILL GET THE EXACT SAME GAMES MENTIONED OVER AND OVER.
Here we go

mario
zelda
banjo and the other identical rare platformers
Smash bros
Mario party
Goldeneye/perfect dark
Turok
wrestling games
nfl blitz
KI
waverace i guess
starfox

brehs, N64 did not have the library, quality, variety, or games to hold PSX's jock there is ZERO competition.

I get what you're saying. but the fact of the matter is that some of those games that were on N64 are regarded in the top 10 videos games of all time, today.

You can't ever say that N64 didn't have the quality, breh both zelda games alone slay everything that was on the ps1. and don't get me wrong I was ps1 head back in the day, but in retrospect N64 really had it.

Don't even get me started on Jet Force Gemeni

I can say that because I just proved it.

FFVII is greater than or at worst equal to Zelda OOT. N64 had about 10 good games and the rest were rehashes and sequels. It was not an impressive console to most, it had VERY little variety and the cartridge held it back A LOT. I like how the BRUTAL issues with foggyness, pop-in graphics, no FMV, which were absolutely annoying during this era of n64 are just forgotten now.

 

[bangbreh]

crazy thing the console had the hardware to be GOAT but treated 3rd parties like crap

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

I'll put my argument this way


I sold my N64 and brought a ps1


It was the best gaming decision I've ever made


FFVII>>>>>> errrthang

Ive put in at least over 300 hours gaming time in that game so yeah that argument doesn't hold any weight for me breh

Same thing happened to me. During the drought we had on the n64 side I was able to get my hands on a ps1. What made my decision was the lack of fighters on the n64 and no games to play until 97. Im glad I kept my n64 for goldeneye,wrestlemania 2000 and perfect dark

 

[TH29]

Man this is tough. My brother and I had both when I was younger and at first I was thinking n64, but after some of the games mentioned in here I have to rethink it. I mean when it comes to multiplayer n64 hands down. When we hung with relatives and friends we always hit up the 64 and played goldeneye, super smash, mario kart, and those aki wrestling games. I think we had way more n64 games than ps1 games, but I loved the resident evil and syphon filter series on ps1. Also someone mentioned Driver which I had forgotten about. I guess I will go with n64 because that is what I played the most as a kid, but looking back on it playstation had some amazing games, and I am still with playstation now on the ps3.

 

[Fury616]

FF7 gave me the same "oh shyt" feeling that I got the first time I saw Super Mario bros as a kid. I didn't even really know what I was witnessing but I knew it was amazing.

Goldeneye on N64 was some great gaming but it pales in comparison to almost everything I experienced with the PS1.

 

[Christian3o5]

The 64 had waaaaay too many classic to mention

the nostalgia

 

[Gifted one]

Mario 64

Mario Tennis
Mario Party 1 and 2
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Diddy Kong racing
Shadows of the empire
Pokemon snap
Starfox 64
No mercy

[Heelish]

:ohmygawd:

 

[MMS]

i had both systems and as great as goldeneye was, PSone utterly shyts on N64

its not really a close comparison

SNES and Genesis is close, but not this

 

[Battle Beast]

I like the N64 more but PS1 probably has the deepest lineup of games for any console ever.
