[quote name='jputahraptor']The playstation brought so many new franchises. Tomb Raider, Crash, Spyro, Parasite Eve, Twisted Metal, Resident Evil, Cool Boarders, Medal Of Honor, Tenchu, Driver, Tomba, Medievil, GTA, Ace Combat, MDK, Syphon Filter, Dino Crisis, Gran Turismo, Rayman, Tony Hawk, and a ton of original entries in established series like Castlevania, Final Fantasy, Ape Escape, Star Wars, Batman, Spider-Man, Contra, Mega Man, Metal Gear and on and on. So many great entries and continuations of series that you would never experience on the N64. Even by genre N64 had some great platformers and two good FPS Goldeneye and PD which was essentially an expansion pack. But as far as RPG, stealth, racing (besides mario kart what standout racing game is there?) action, survival horror, flight sim, sports and snowboarding skateboarding type games, puzzles and plenty of good platformers. Pretty much every genre had a dozen or more great titles.
On the N64 the only new franchises I can think of were Banjo, Cruisin Series, Conker though there hasn't been any sequals, Mario Party, Smash Brothers, Paper Mario, and Turok. We got some shitty Castlevania games, some good Star Wars games and not much else. Discounting first party titles there was maybe half a dozen games worth owning on the 64.
There is no contest, the n64 has some great stuff but it lacks variety and Metroid. The PS brought about innovations like demo disks, could play more than games (CD's), had the benefits of voice actors and FMV's, came in cases to keep everything together, and brought a lot of new experiences to home consoles like Light Gun games.[/quote]
the n64 did one amazing thing though, made indiana jones the infernal machine more superior then the pc version. how odd?!
