Comment on The N64

Every piece of hardware in a given budget is ultimately a product of compromise. 3D capabilities of N64 are way beyond what PS can offer - texture filtering and Z buffer just put Playstation to shame. No CD is equally embarrassing to N64. The controller… well, it was a weird time.

I played a lot of THSP2 on my PS2 and was horrified by the N64 version’s audio quality when I played it at a friend’s house

the ps2 came 4 years after the N64, a crucial time window of consumer audio chip evolution. but even more importantly, the N64 didnt even have a sound chip, relied on the CPU for it while competing for resources.

Sorry I meant PS1! It played CD quality audio as well
