You can look at the image and see for yourself. 2 zelda, 2 entries to tap the holes. Meanwhile the PS1 has Resident Evil 1,2 and 3, Crash 1, 2, 3 and Kart, Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, etc.
pre dual stick fps that's why (though technically you could get it to work with dual sticks), it was very ambitious at the time but like many ambitious games at the time the framerate suffered as a result which is even more apparent to people in the present used to highe refresh rates
Nintendo 64 was better for when you were a kid, but playstation was better for growing up with and could appeal to adolescence and early adulthood. It was actually sexier and had more variety.
Metal gear was never on N64. RE2 wasn't on Nintendo 64 for sever years after it was released on Playstation. For awhile it was basically a playstation exclusive. It's a bonus game for N64
Put it this way, if all I had was an N64 I probably would have gotten bored and stopped gaming a long time ago. PS1 had a lot more variety that kept me hooked over a long period of time.
The best the N64 had to offer is better than the best the PS1 had to offer, but the PS1 had way, way, way more to offer in terms of games worth playing.
The PS1 has masterpieces and great games across every genre. The N64 has almost nothing. And no, the N64 doesn't have "a few masterpieces". OoT and Goldeneye have always been dogshit, and SM64 was far from perfect even back then.
This is the kind of embarrassing opinion only your own brain half respects. I only had an N64 and I do admit the PS1 was the better console, but to say the N64 doesn't have a single masterpiece is beyond laughable. In fact, nothing the PS1 has is as influential across the board as OOT.
It’s not lock on, otherwise you could actually use it instead of just following enemies with your guns

Worthless gimmick that games don't use.

How about actually locking onto things rather than just pointing your guns at it? Because you can’t do that in TR

If you don't think Tomb Raider was more influential than OoT, then you are just straight up ignorant of 5th generation games and have never ventured out of your Nintendo bubble.

I don’t know how you got that from anything I said but I like both series. Hell I’ve probably even played more time raider than you

Tomb Raider more influential? At what? Making lewd drawings? Don't be ridiculous, all the greats from Miyamoto to Carmack would spit their drink laughing at your face.

Oh wait you're going to tell me about how the Jaguar is underrated huh?
Ps1 and saturn were equally good in terms of wuality titles if anything sayirn slightly edged it. Sega was on top in gaming in a way sony never was, ruling 90s arcades with an iron fist. Ps1 owes namco big time for helping it to even come close to competing in that realm. N64 was completely different kettle of fish to both. Comparing ps1 with n64 Its like comparing switch to ps5. Enough of this zoomer, armchair historian, muh numbers google bullshit.
>Comparing ps1 with n64 Its like comparing switch to ps5
That's complete dishonest bullshit. N64 was like the first xbox, it was the more powerful machine. The Playstation was the underdog in the market and was the cheaper option. It was in every poor kids house who coudn't get their hands on the nintendo, and yet actually challenged the only competition which was Nintendo 64. Nobody gave a frick about Sega Saturn, they were not on the same level as Playstation.
This is the kind of post that is the more correct. I only had the N64 but now I know that I missed out not getting a PSone, it was better. But you make a great point, multiplayer wise, the N64 left it in the dust.
In Europe the PS1 was completely dominant. I had both N64 and PS1 but I didn't know anyone else with an N64. Everyone at school had the PS1 and the Gameboy so Nintendo to them was just the Gameboy.
n64 >best arcade racing >best platformers >best action rpg >best farm/town management? (I actually can't think of anything on psx) >smash bros if you want to count it as its own genre >best fps >best minigames
psx >best jrpgs >best sim racing >best fighting games >best survival horror
Of course, psx had the bigger number of good games.
There's also sports, puzzle, and flight simulation that I don't know who to allocate to.
I knew I was forgetting more genres. I couldn't pass judgement on rail shooters because on psx's side I only played time crisis. Also can't say shit about shmup.
saturn was the only console between the N64 and ps1, there you go genius
n64:
2 zelda games and mario 64
ps1:
mgs, sotn and ape escape
i think its a tie
you forgot re1-3 and silent hill
re2 is on n64, bro
ok but 1 and 3 are not and the N64 version of RE2 is inferior to the PS1 version

wat
Unpopular opinion: GameCube had more good games than PS2, but PS1 destroyed N64
>GameCube had more good games than PS2
what the frick
As an ardent and life long defender of the Gamecube you're delusional.
Psx has Xenogear, the N64 doesn't.
I found out about Perfect Dark recently. It's supposed to be a critically acclaimed game yet I never seen it being discussed. Why?
pre dual stick fps that's why (though technically you could get it to work with dual sticks), it was very ambitious at the time but like many ambitious games at the time the framerate suffered as a result which is even more apparent to people in the present used to highe refresh rates
PS1 has dozens of great games, N64 has a few 10/10s. Overall, I say the PS1, but I can see the N64's appeal
Nintendo 64 was better for when you were a kid, but playstation was better for growing up with and could appeal to adolescence and early adulthood. It was actually sexier and had more variety.
>half of PS’s games in that pic aren’t even console exclusive
>2 Zelda games shown for 64
>Series entries of Tekken, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Crash, Tomb Raider, left out
Which of those games were not PS1 exclusive?
Metal gear, RE2 was literally on n64, tomb raider II, soul reaver, FF7, tekken I think?
So Metal Gear Solid, FF7, Tekken 3 were all on the Saturn?
MGS and FF7 were both on pc
Come on now. Nobody cared about PC fats
Metal gear was never on N64. RE2 wasn't on Nintendo 64 for sever years after it was released on Playstation. For awhile it was basically a playstation exclusive. It's a bonus game for N64
>it’s a PlayStation exclusive if you ignore it being on other platforms
Interesting theory
Interesting pilpul
Put it this way, if all I had was an N64 I probably would have gotten bored and stopped gaming a long time ago. PS1 had a lot more variety that kept me hooked over a long period of time.
PS1 and it's not even close. MM, Banjo and SM64 are the only decent N64 games. The PS1 has dozens upon dozens of fantastic games.
The best the N64 had to offer is better than the best the PS1 had to offer, but the PS1 had way, way, way more to offer in terms of games worth playing.
The PS1 has masterpieces and great games across every genre. The N64 has almost nothing. And no, the N64 doesn't have "a few masterpieces". OoT and Goldeneye have always been dogshit, and SM64 was far from perfect even back then.

Your taste is garbage, and OoT wasn't influential regardless of how much journalists tried to pretend it invented lock on.
Do you think tomb raider’s auto aim is lock on? Because it’s not
It is, and you trying to pretend it's not aside it's still not even close to the first game that had it.
It’s not lock on, otherwise you could actually use it instead of just following enemies with your guns
>It's not real lock on unless you can lock onto NPCs

The only thing OoT influenced was to get more games to have big empty fields between the content.
That's not true. It invented automated cinematic platforming.
ahh super edge lord.

Why do you bring up Saturn when literally nobody owned one outside Japan?
PS1 has a massive library outside of these iconic titles. The N64 doesn't.
I had both. probably ps1 was overall better. But I had way more fun with the N64 alone and playing with friends
This is the kind of post that is the more correct. I only had the N64 but now I know that I missed out not getting a PSone, it was better. But you make a great point, multiplayer wise, the N64 left it in the dust.
generally speaking, N64 games have less janky controls
In Europe the PS1 was completely dominant. I had both N64 and PS1 but I didn't know anyone else with an N64. Everyone at school had the PS1 and the Gameboy so Nintendo to them was just the Gameboy.

Best rail shooter(s)
I knew I was forgetting more genres. I couldn't pass judgement on rail shooters because on psx's side I only played time crisis. Also can't say shit about shmup.
I like both for different reasons. I mean the ps1 smokes the n64 when it comes to rpgs. But the n64 was a way better mutltplayer system
Playstation and it's not close.
N64 is and always was trash.
