60 FPS Nintendo 64 and Saturn Games

[@GameSack]

N64 folks: I'm seeing a lot of comments about games you think are 60fps, but aren't really. If you're playing them in an emulator, they are likely enhanced compared to what the real hardware is capable of. The emulator is not representative of the real console when they're used in this manner.

[@Spokavriel]

on N64 it was easiest to run games at 20fps because of the data path design most games going faster on the screen draw were letting the RDP run most parts independent of user input.

[@rebeccasam3434]

I really loved it at the time, and like it a lot more than N64. At least in the United States I have to give PSX the overall nod as the best of the four main systems that gen just because of the library, but Saturn is still amazing. Honestly while I prefer the typical graphics in a Saturn game I was still surprised by how much better and more powerful it looks in this video after you get done with the N64 segment. It’s kind of making me think even even more that N64 was the worst design system that generation.

As an early adopter of the Sega Saturn.. when I first rented Virtua Fighter 2.. I was mindblown. not only did it have a high resolution, but it ran at 60fps. hadn't seen any polygon console game run at 60fps until then. Wish I bought that game instead of Fighting Vipers.

[@nashvilleplays]

Hey Joe! I thought it was weird that you mentioned Skeleton Warriors was “from Playmates,” which is true, as it was published by them, but there’s another reason that game is sort of noteworthy and also the only reason I remember it. It’s the first game developed by Neversoft, a game developer that went on to make the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series and also some Guitar Hero games before being sucked up into the Call of Duty mines that every Activision-Blizzard owned studio is fated to being designated to. Thankfully, they got to dissolve the company after working on Ghosts, probably the most panned CoD entry in recent memory.

[@DrMcMoist]

They were also responsible for the excellent Spider-Man games on the original Playstation.

[@WhoniverseReview]

[@ThootenTootinTabootin]

I like how both Sega and Nintendo both made great F-Zero games

[@stephandolby]

I think the Saturn had a technical - perhaps RAM-based - limitation, which forced 8-bit textures on VDP1 at high resolutions, which meant no lighting. This will be why there are mixed-resolution titles where VDP2 runs in high resolution but VDP1 runs in standard resolution, as I don't think the image would fit in VDP1's 256KB frame buffers. This could explain Virtua Fighter 2's baked-in lighting as compared to the real-time lighting in, say, Fighters Megamix.

[@woodenotaku]

For an excellent example of the advantages of 480i60 over 240p60, check out the original arcade version of Tekken 3. There's a setting in the options menu that lets you choose. The 240p mode looks like a chunky mess with the high-detail character models, especially when zoomed out.

[@Mogura87]

240p60 is still much better for sprite-based 2D fighters and shooters though, also on CRTs. The flickering of 480i is not good for typical 2D assets. It's one thing I appreciate with the Dreamcast and PS2 as well, for the 2D arcade ports that still supported 240p when appropriate, although I wish more of them did.

[@jsr734]

It looks like a chunky mess because the game was never intended for 240p resolution.I am guessing 512x240 because Tekken 3 Arcade normally renders at 512x480.

Is it just me or does the Saturn just look phenomenal next to the N64?

[@Mimi.1001]

Saturn devs definitely focused more on fast-paced, action-orientated arcade-style experiences (kinda what you would expect from SEGA), mainly 3D Fighters in this case, which probably benefitted the most from 60FPS. N64 on the other hand had more experiences featuring new, "big" 3D worlds where the 3D itself was the main selling point. Consumers and developers didn't care that much about frame rate - most N64 games don't even reach 30FPS consistently - it was probably also not really worth it. Like Ocarina of Time doesn't need 60 FPS, even if it would've been nice. You sort of just accepted a lower frame rate as a trade-off. Nowadays, many Saturn games look leagues better than many N64 games, because early 3D and its "big" levels really haven't aged well and because most of us actually think the 2D (or 2.5D) games weren't at all outdated.

[@mmarshfairc3]

@@jhkuno88wrong

[@jsr734]

It looks on par i would say. But that is because none of those games were really pushing the N64 really hard. With more complex games like Conker, Bajo Kazooie/Tooie, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, etc. there is no competition.

[@jsr734]

@@RadioTails Well, 240p is also "progressive scan" that is why i was asking. The Gamecube, Ps2 and Xbox are interesting as it seems the availability for progressive scan depends on the region. It seems the Pal Gamecube and Pal Xbox don´t support progressive scan natively, only the Pal Ps2 had some games with progressive scan (480p) option. Of course on Ntsc consoles progressive scan was out of the box in most cases but still some games were not compatible.

[@RadioTails]

@jsr734 Most PAL GameCube games changed the Progressive Scan screen to 60/50 Hz screen (or just used 50 Hz | In some rare cases used 60 Hz). It is possible to force some PAL GameCube games to use 480p, and even ones where the NTSC games didn't (like Super Monkey Ball).

The reality is that the Saturn is not less powerful than the N64. The N64 hardware could do nice effects but the console was very underpowered, this is why you either see nice looking games running at sub 10fps, or barebone games running at 60fps.

[@PhirePhlame]

Kind of sounds like a repeat of the SNES vs Genesis, if I'm understanding right. So one's got better visual fidelity while the other has more raw power? Now that I think about it, raw power definitely makes sense for the very arcadey approach Sega took to the Saturn's hardware design (even if that did make it way more difficult to develop for unless the devs were already accustomed to Sega's super-bespoke and complex arcade systems of the day).

Nintendo kinda demanded you to use several of the N64 features that did indeed hit the memory hard. If the game had any sort of visual issue that could be described as "playstation like", they would consider it a defect and not let publish the game. The biggest one of those is the Z-Buffer. It triples the memory bandwidth demands of writing a pixel, but you either have to use it, or you have to be absolutely 100% freaking sure no polygon will intersect or go over another or it's a block. Most of those 60 FPS games, and even some very impressive 30 FPS ones like world driving championship chose the "carefully manage polygons" route.

Yes that's true! More than a couple of Saturn games did that. Of course I couldn't count such a thing for this episode.

17:25 what a fantastic goal ! It may be just another soccer game, but it looks like a good one.

Hey Joe great video, I would like to see a PlayStation episode of 60 fps. I'm a big fan, keep up the good work!

I finished watching the UFC fight card and boom a new episode of game sack! Do a special episode with PS’s 60 FPS games even if there are 120+ of them
