DF Retro: Sega Saturn vs Sony PlayStation - the Driving/Racing Game Face-Off (Patreon)
Content
This one's been available to Retro Supporters for some months now, but bearing in mind the 30th anniversary of BOTH of these machines, it's going public today. Non-Retro Supporters get a bit of a headstart - and well worth your time!
This has been one of the ambitious DF Retro projects we've ever undertaken. What if Digital Foundry - with all of the modern tools at its disposal - could have covered the mid-90s Sega Saturn vs Sony PlayStation cross-platform releases? We have a general idea of how the systems compared, but does the modern DF methodology make the case or bust the myths?
It took time for our digital-based workflow to adapt to the analogue days of yesteryear - particularly on Saturn where no HDMI mods exist - but here we are, and we think you're going to enjoy it. John Linneman kicks off this occasional series with a look at the fifth generation consoles' line-up of driving and racing games.
