optical disks with 700MB of game data vs cartridges with like 64MB
decent 3d rendering capability
memory cards for guaranteed and easy game saving feature
this attracted developers to make games for playstation
>literal who
The biggest electronics manufacturer in Japan and one of the biggest in the world?
The Saturn used CDs just like the Slopstation. The real issue was that game developers were too stupid to use co-processors and wanted to brute force everything through the CPU. The Saturn's design was ahead of its time. The Saturn also didn't need an external memory card, it had an internal one.
That is a myth, the Saturn was just as capable of 3D games.
>That is a myth, the Saturn was just as capable of 3D games
Yes, because they panicked at rumors of the PS1 and then haphazardly packed processing power into it. Problem was that it made it MUCH more expensive than the PS1, and MUCH harder to develop for. And since the PS1 was already outselling it at absolutely insane rates, no devs bothered to frick with the shit show that was the Saturn.
Also a myth, the Saturn never changed its internal design after the Slopstation was announced. The issue was that Sega assumed game developers had enough experience with actual computers to write games that could utilise co-processors. Unfortunately game devs were not capable of that outside of a few companies, so the archaic design of the Slopstation. Ironically, the Dreamcast and PS2 switched on these designs, with the PS2 adopting a similarly complicated design to the Saturn. It just goes to show that the hardware never mattered at all, Sony's bags of cash were enough to win the fight before it started.
Jesus... Imagine shilling for a company that's been dead in the water since the mid 90's.
>"Although the Saturn's design was largely finished before the end of 1993, reports in early 1994 of the technical capabilities of Sony's upcoming PlayStation console prompted Sega to include another video display processor (VDP) to improve 2D performance and 3D texture mapping.[14][16][17]"
Wikipedia said so, it must be true! Please ignore that devkits had already been sent to devs by then.
Thanks for letting us know that not only were you completely wrong, but you're also too moronic to understand what a citation is.
Let me guess, they cited some random blog by an "enthusiast". How about asking Sega themselves?
>1995
>blog
Anon buddy, just stop now. I'm getting second hand embarrassment
>still can't name who they cite
Yeah, you're done. Either stop stalling or admit the sources are bunkum.
Nobody is stopping you from checking yourself, moron. The sources are from 1995 publications interviewing Saturn and 3rd party developers.
Here's your last (You)
I don't use Slopipedia. The burden of proof is on you. If you aren't willing to name your sources then what you're saying is merely heresay and you should be forgotten like the cowardly worm you are.
yes, zoom zoom, blogs did exist in 1995. internet diaries and fan pages were the fricking rage before you were born
Dude are you even capable of acknowledging the extreme mismanagement of the company in the 90s
That has nothing to do with the hardware of the Saturn.
>the slapdash hardware produced by the mismanaged company had nothing to do with how the company was mismanaged
You seem like the sort of dweller who has very strong opinions on the color of sonics arms.
>slapdash
I already explained why that is a myth. The Saturn has been vindicated by history, as its design has become the norm. I could call Sega forward thinking, but they weren't. They were just following trends in the computer market.
Sega was convinced that consumers wanted to play arcade games in their homes, so that's what the Saturn did. Sony leaned into the emerging 3D game market. Sega has always been completely fricking out of touch. I'm honestly amazed they're even still around.
Sega was pretty much already dead from their hardware expansion scheme with the Genesis.
It legitimately didn't matter that the Saturn and especially the Dreamcast were good.
How did Nintendo 64 get dunked on so hard by Sega Saturn's superior library?
As much as an N64 fanboy that I was at the time, by the end of the generation, I realized N64 sucked balls. The hardware was cool, but goddamn mogged by its own cartridges.
>Literal who
Sony was a tech giant, the number one electronics manufacturer at the time, It's like when MS joined, some unstoppable force of moneyhatting everyhing and everybody, Sega had no chance.
crash bandicoot
also the dual shock
Dual Shock these balls
>literal who company
Stupid people believe in advertising. Programmers weren't talented enough to make use of something twice as powerful. It was too early and underpowered.
Sony was not a literal who company. Everyone knew about the Walkman; they had a strong reputation for making good electronics. Sega had a reputation for tryhard edgy advertisements that were mostly "other console bad", hence why their fanbase is so autistically confrontational and childish. Also the games. Most of the world stopped caring about their watered down arcade ports that you beat in half an hour.
