The Knowledge Nut

You guys are the realist for still coming to LA after the fire

Dude!

Fuck yeah! I love the gaming episodes! Maybe DOOM DFF?

MARCUS

I was definitely a PS1 guy. It just had the games that appealed to me. I remember first seeing Crash Bandicoot and being mesmerized by that game, and then the Final Fantasy games (among other RPGs like Legend of Dragoon and Chrono Cross) pretty much sealed the deal.

Paul's mic was off for sooooooooo long.

I had an N64... that is until I played Metal Gear Solid.

Michael P Ernzen

well if this was live pauls mic wouldnt have been dead for that long

This is not much of a contest. The N64 was great, and had a lot of nostalgia going for it, but the PS1 was revolutionary. It destroys the N64 in just about every category. The games could be sold for less because CDs are extremely cheap to produce, N64s had their own cartridge that game developers had to buy from nintendo, so they were very expensive. The library of the PS1 was expansive and very deep/rich. The N64 catalog is very sad, with a lot of garbage, like Quest 64 etc. Third party software developers had a much easier time producing games for the PS1 as the N64s hardware was notoriously difficult to develop for. Then we come to the hardware itself. The PS1's hardware was superior, period. Not to mention the PS1 controller, which is the same design (ish) still used today. The N64s controller is terribly designed. Anyways....just my 2 cents, and thats coming from a Nintendo fanboy who loved his SNES and NES.

Nintendo Power! Aw man, I used to love that shit.

Collin

I’d side with the N64 just because I have more experience with it but there’s plenty of PS1 games that I love.You can’t go wrong with the best games of either system.

Nicholas Fernacz

I had both, neither were particularly great. I would say the systems of today are much more exciting.

KDerp

So that Duke Nukem game on the N64 was just Duke Nukem 3D from the PC though it did look shittier.

Marcos

I haven't played bubsy 3d or superman 64, but it really is a toss up of the worst game ever. I think superman 64 is probably worse because the timer leaves no room for error, where you can screw around in bubsy and take your time.

Misgellsson

N64 has some of the greatest landmark titles in the history of gaiming, gotta side with it.

What's with the weaker audio quality?

The PS1 hardware was not superior. The N64 had a better CPU and actually had a dedicated GPU. Not to mention more RAM.

Keggerous

Both are basically the greatest systems ever made. They both have ICONIC games that go down, still, as being the best . . .

This episode was terribly researched and I'm gonna go full tism on you for it. You guys couldn't compare the specs side by side and just assumed that the Playstation is better. Other than it's CD format the N64 is way more powerful. I found this shit on wikipedia after 15 minutes of research. TLDR: The n64 beats it in every area but is held because of the smaller storage medium. CPU Playstation: 32-bit running at 33.8 MHz able to do 30 MIPS (millions of instructions per second) N64: 64-bit running at 93.7 MHz able to do 125 MIPS Graphics Playstation uses a co-processor in the CPU and a separate GPU to produce 360.000 to about 90.000 polygons (with full effects) has a max resolution of 640×240 in progressive and 640×480 in interlaced and a color depth of 16,777,216 colors The N64 as a 64-bit GPU running at 62.5 MHz and while wikipedia doesn’t list the polygon count from other sources the general consensus puts it at 1 million with no effects to 200.000 with full effects. It has a max resolution of 720×576 and has the same color deph but capable of 2,097,152 colors on screen at once. Audio: The same specs wise however the Playstation can stream music directly off of the CD like any CD player can, so it generally sounds better. The advantages that you see in some games on Playstation has everything to do with the fact that assets didn’t have to be as compressed to fit the format like they did with the N64. Specs wise the N64 is the same or better than the Playstation. Really just the format that the sony had over nintendo.

Joshua Kittrell

I was a Playstation kid in both of these systems' heyday, but the Zelda titles were great at the time. Fun trip down memory lane with you guys.

Vedren

I am probably older than most here. Atari 2600 vs Intelivision!

Blue Musket

Hey guys maybe you can help. I go to the older post but it says their unavailable. Is there somewhere I can go to see these videos? If you have the archive please share the link!

Nicholas Hamilton

favorite PS1 game Tomb Raider, favorite N64 game Legend of Zelda: Oracca of Time(honerable mention to Mario 64) Sidenote; so fun at LA with all those blowjobs you could say you really burned the house down...

LesClaypoolOnBass

N64 overall had better games especially for multiplayer

Shanne Tetzlaff

The guys were wrong about the original PS1 controller. There were 4 buttons on top. L1 L2 R1 R2

Matthew Owens

Okay so the whole video you guys argue that the ps1 is a more powerful system when really it isn't and the only thing that makes the ps1 look better at times graphically is the fact that more data is on the disc. The cartridges couldn't store as much data so there were fewer fine details. Just look at the specs and you'll see that the CPU clock speed is like three times that of the ps1. The multiplat games perform better and with smoother frames on the ps1, but the ps1 has the extra data being executed for lighting and stuff. Man if only sony and nintendo didn't split

No wonder this show has so many technical problems. Can't even tell the ps1 specs are worse than n64

Stop muting yourself Paul

Hell yeah I became a patron for this one x) Also Sega Saturn was freakin' awesome, you're wrong. Although it did fail commercially in the West it came in second in Japan and had a long life span.

Billy Goate

The N64 gave me fucking motion sickness on several games, if I remember correctly it was 'Shadows of the Empire' -- probably because I couldn't tell what was going on half the time because it was so dark.

Josh Jones

Looking forward to GameCube vs. PS2 vs. Xbox in the future. Great job guys. I love when you do stuff like this. Hell, I just love everything you do!

Oliver Edward Morgan

Seriously! He needs to just leave his microphone alone. Push it away or cover his mouth when he has to cought, sneeze, whatever.

Josh Jones

There was already a clear winner in this episode too, but that didn’t make the information and comparisons any less interesting and part of gaming history. The GameCube actually had some better graphical potential than the PS2. Of course that doesn’t mean the PS2 couldn’t achieve similar graphics. The way a game uses the processors may determine a lot. It was available at the same time as PS2 and Xbox, and therefore, it most certainly be part of the same Versus episode. I would consider it a lack of curiosity to say otherwise out of personal apathy or dislike for the system.

Brent Slade

This was the first DFF that I couldn't finish because of the ongoing inaccuracies about which console was more powerful. Literally the PS won in only one way: storage space, which was literally the only reason the games looked/sounded better, but the guys kept saying it was because of better hardware. LMAO Brutal.

Marcus Campbell

PlayStation for me. I especially love scotty's pick.

Realzodiackiller

"The N64 is like that THOT" that That Ho Over There?

ScottS

Playstation more Powerful? You guys need your eyes checked, It had lower frame rates in most of the games shown, awful swimming polygons and textures, lower detail character models in many titles (MK4 being one example) and terrible aliasing. N64 blurriness is from its anti-aliasing and tex compression due to limited storage. And why did you show 2 unrelated Duke nukem games? The N64 version was from the doom era as it was a port of the original Duke 3d while the playstation version was more modern and fully 3d.

Sven K

Ps1 is thr goat, better library and fuck texture filtering that shit is ugly pixels look better imo. Could do without affine texture mapping though.

Thomas H.

Scotty is painfully biased here lol

Taylor S.

TURN YOUR FUCKING MIC ON PAUL

Matt Newman

I have both the N64 and the PS1 sitting in front of me, and 90% of the time I play my N64 over the PS1. Maybe my PS1 collection is weak compared to my N64, but I find the N64 is just a more fun console.

Ceph

Take away Paul's ability to mute his mic.

Klemen Kekec

While I do think your technical analysis is flawed here, you brought up a great point - the PS1 was better for the evolution of games because it opened up the development option to more studios and more people, which birthed new franchises, new ideas, and has lead to the multicultural melting pot of ideas that is the gaming industry nowadays. Meanwhile, Nintendo stayed true to its isolation, which also brought it prestige. Nobody is playing the old original Tomb Raider anymore, and Crash Bandicoot shows its age even in the new remake, while Mario 64 remains a well-played game to this day.

Deep Fat Fried is the best, dude. I'm so glad this show exists.
