The Famicom actually had a modem that people could use for financial services and several games were planned for it but never materialized. Also, the Atari 2600 had a 3rd party modem that allowed for game downloads and the company behind it eventually became AOL. So there really wasn't online gaming, but there was online capability.

​@@Ironman1o1 Wow I'd completely forgotten about that commercial, but no. This was an interview for some gaming mag (PSM IIRC) on the speculative future of the Playstation. While I found the claims of virtual reality amusing (considering this was the early 2000's) what was truly ridiculous to me was that Sony believed the Playstation would last for 15 iterations.

[@thew0rstds224]

[@Yeen125]

Speaking of Ken’s claim about the PS2 being a PC replacement, that claim was enough to scare Microsoft and immediately announce the Xbox; which at the time, was a small side project by its DirectX graphics API team. So not only was the claim bullshit, it also lead to Microsoft becoming Sony’s biggest rival.

The GBA games released for ambassadors aren't simply emulated. They were specially programmed to run on 3DS. Edit: So while not emulated, it is running on native hardware, and as such lacks the features other VC games have. This may have been a reason not to release them, or possibly quality issues.

to be fair to Sam Tramiel, he was sort of right about the Saturn being a pooch to develop on. It had a very unusual architecture, with it using two 32-bit CPUs. This is also why emulating the Saturn is difficult.

But that's rich coming from Jaguar. Since we never remotely saw what it was capable of given how impossibly hard it was to develop for.

[@MadameSomnambule]

Not to mention polygons in 3D graphics were treated the same as 2D sprites which made things even more difficult, especially if you wanted to simulate fog to take advantage of the low draw distance. Most games aside from Sonic R didn't even bother with that.

[@VGamingJunkie]

And, in some ways, the N64 is technically the most graphically impressive system at the time since it had things like texture filtering and most importantly 3D correct perspective that the Ps1 and Saturn lacked. The latter allowed things to stay steady, which is why textures in Ps1 games noticeably warped around as you moved the camera.

[@blacksheep9950]

Although I feel like between Mario 64 and Ocarina, they do have a decent claim at a 'quantum leap' in game design.

[@sloppynyuszi]

simon woods in fairness in 1989 and 90 it was harder to have an arcade unit and console side by side. I’m sure coming from the NES and C64 version it pretty much seemed identical. Now with emulation games I thought were identical look quite different.

[@sloppynyuszi]

I remember when the magazines were claiming that. I remember playing Cruisin’ USA, and after plunging a ton of coins in to Daytona and Sega Rally, that game was quite the step down, so I thought that the N64 was going to be that. If I remember correctly, it did have an ultra 64 logo in the demo screen.

[@anonymousanonymous5732]

To be fair, they did intend on the N64DD having those features. That kept the DD in development for ages though. Had it been a humble disk addon from the start, maybe the thing would have actually released while the console was alive.

Also on the dreamcast thing, well it IS a 128bit CPU on the best way possible, the one where you use the 128bit as four packed 32bit numbers being processed 4 times faster than the usual, as in what happens with the SSE/Altivec/etc, so it IS correct to call it a 128bit console. The true stupidity is to measure console power by bits, which is pretty much wrong since the start, if you consider that the PC Engine, an "8bit console" was able to play pretty convincing neo geo ports with the help of a shitton of RAM in a cartridge, and that by the same measure of bits used in the dreamcast, the pentium 4 CPUs that can run freaking Crysis are also 32bits.

[@Kona_chibi]

This is what I was thinking. Back then, saying a console was 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit etc. wasn't a claim to it's CPU, but a way for the younger generation to gauge the consoles graphical power. We saw that the PS1 was visually twice as powerful as a Genesis or Super Nintendo, then the N64 was visually twice as powerful as a PS1, and then the Sega Dreamcast was visually twice as powerful as an N64. Saying a console was x-amount of bits was basically marketing spiel for "it has awesome graphics". I remember in college we used to talk about how, since the Sega Dreamcast was 128-bit, so too was the PS2, Gamecube and original Xbox, and that the PS4 and Xbox360 were going to be 256-bit, and then 512-bit and so on, because we didn't see bits as processing power or anything, we saw it as graphical markers, the idea that each new console generation's games would look twice as good as the previous because it's bits were twice as high.

[@fattiger6957]

Considering the most powerful gaming PC's are still 64bit, making claims about bits was stupid.

I'd think the PS3 would get something in here, but I guess that would depend on where you draw the line between exaggeration, hyperbole, and just plain BS.

[@TooBokoo]

Sony claiming the PS3 would do native 1080p because it was so powerful, but in reality, most games were around 676p-720p and then upscaled. Hell, even the PS4 barely does native 1080p in most titles. Usually it's like 900p.

[@fattiger6957]

Apparently Sony had big plans for the Cell. They sunk hundreds of millions into developing it, thinking it would become a new standard for CPUs and the ps3 was suppose to be its testbed. Unfortunately for them, they didn't consider how much developers hated working on it.

Thanks for mentioning that piracy was indeed a factor in the shortened lifespan of the Dreamcast. While people often treat the PS2 as the heir apparent and that nothing could have stopped the juggernaut, the fact that many early PS2 (anti-aliasing) games looked better on DC. So as much as everyone was already committed to buying a PS2, the Dreamcast should have and would have done better if the outstanding early sales were accompanied by software sales...

[@DoomsdayR3sistance]

5:36 The Megadrive had Internet connectivity in Japan and apparently (on checking wikipedia) Brazil, it was called the Sega Meganet and required an additional peripheral , The Sega Saturn also had a modem that went in the huge memory card slot in the rear, which again was Japan only, that modem came out a little over a month after the N64s release date tho. So the restrictions of previous consoles could have been in reference to Sega and the Sega Meganet came out over half a decade before the N64.

[@guerillarage8461]

I thought for sure that "Blast Processing" would be on this list.

[@chriswalls546]

The N64 released in 1996, after several other consoles tried internet gaming including multiplayer.

[@EmpanadaDeCaca]

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

I think he meant out of the box. Atari's dialup service that had games being delivered was the earliest I think, but for multiplayer there was X-Band on SNES/Genesis which was an addon, and then you have Sega Channel on Genesis and Satellaview on SFC. The Saturn also had it's own variant, Netlink. Which only supported Duke Nukem 3D, Virtual-On, Sega Rally Championship and Saturn Bomberman I believe.

To be fair, Sega also claimed the Saturn was 32 bit due to two 16 bit processors being built into it. 16+16=32, after all... Not to mention NEC marketing the Turbo Grafx 16 as 16-bit based just off its graphics card alone...

[@dan_loup]

The two main CPUs of the saturn are 32bits, but measuring things by bits is very dumb. It's like judging a car only by the number of cylinders. Also the saturn have 6 CPUs for the disgrace of the developers and joy of the marketing team.

[@KuraIthys]

Wait, it doesn't have an actual 32 bit CPU in it anywhere? lol. I mean, dubious claims are dubious - the n64 in practice pretty much never used 64 bit calculations (I mean, why would you, for games? It's generally pointless - the GBA supports 32 bit instructions too, but games mostly use 16 bit instructions for performance reasons.) But, both it's CPU and GPU do genuinely support 64 bit instruction sets... And the Playstation also genuinely supports 32 bit instructions... Weird.

[@dan_loup]

@@KuraIthys The two SH2 CPUs in the saturn are 32bit, as its the absolute mess that is the SCU. If you want to take a peek on the complete madness that is the saturn, look for the saturn DSP video of gamehut
