Ranking Consoles (By Looks) - Kinda Funny Gamescast

[@mypsizllez]

Unironically I love the new format because we get these silly episodes. This was so fun.

[@ViralMomentsTV-bt7fg]

I thought the series x design was liked, it’s very simple and sleek. Putting it below the vcr box is a crime

[@dante4111]

They clearly don't like the minimalist designs for my Series X S they are at least A how you put the GameCube on S and not the Series X

[@EXxileOnline]

I was really surprised by their reaction for the Series X too. I love the Series X design, and overall I like it more than the Series S design by far.

[@ViralMomentsTV-bt7fg]

@@EXxileOnline I feel like it has to do with them having white setups. I have a dark setup and the ps5 sticks out like crazy

[@AlanHoey86]

The Series X has a monolith-like presence that I love, and the Series S is a minimalist throwback to the designs of Dieter Rams (From whom Apple has taken all their design inspiration). It has a modern sculpture-like appearance to it when in the vertical position.

[@fragr33f74]

PS4 OG is S tier. A perfect call back to the PS2 while still being a standout on its own. I love the 2 tone/material design, the angular shapes, and the blue light down the middle. Easy S tier.

[@andrer4508]

ps4 pro is more premuim looking because of the matt and the silver colored ps4 logo at the top. love it. the OG ps4 is just cheap looking with the glossy cheap plastic at the top. the Wii is the best and ps1

[@ChicagoBulls1984]

@andrer4508 general concensus is that the Pro had too many layers. Didn't feel more or less premium to me. The minimal gloss on my ps4 og stayed scratch free. I'd agree the wii in white or black is goated

[@andysauro1500]

We DEFINITELY need a Startup Screen Ranking/Tier list. So many S Tier console startups (I'm looking at you playstation and gamecube).

Great episode. Please do a handheld version of this!

Series X: "takes up too much space" PS5: "..." Overall good list but I despise the PS5 design and I can't believe it doesn't get more shit lol.

[@zach367]

I love my ps5 but I think they were trying way too hard with the design. That thing looks ridiculous and needing the stand to lay it down is super annoying.

[@JoshJr98]

Always liked the GameCube, small and modular, different ad ons and controller accessibility, cd tray on top and opens like a cd player, the handle for traveling with it

[@TheGoodMorty95]

Andy is the most sane person this episode. Y'all trying to put the Wii U at F and GameCube anywhere other than S is crazy 🤣

[@AlanHoey86]

S Tier for me: PS4, Xbox Series consoles, Gamecube, Atari 2600, Xbox 360 S & NES.

[@battlesat6]

Ps2 is a rectangle. I have never thought it looked good.

ps3 slim is S rank, just dones everything right ultimately pretty simple but nice matte black with physical buttons and a curve to keep it interesting.

[@millennialnerds2106]

Agreed. I’m looking at it compared to my fat ps3 and it’s just like wow, these the same thing lol

[@ATribeCalledWest]

This might be one of my favorite episodes of Gamescast! The topic was mad fun/entertaining and you guys were really locked in with great debate/conversation

[@DetroitsReaper]

"we wont use nostalgia" uses nostalgia lol

[@rick330]

They definitely used their personal feelings a few times.

[@realrobrose]

They didn't sell the xbox 360 and ps3 redesigns as "you should replace your original xbox with this newer version" the way the One S & X were sold as "you should upgrade to this one its the next level up". The 360 and ps3 redesigns were sold as just what the consoles look like now for anyone new who's buying it.

[@aweb_2u]

One thing they didn't mention with the Sega Genesis is how great it looks with the cartridge in it. A Genesis with Sonic the hedgehog in it is a classic look. I don't think there's any other console that has the game set so closely related to the look of the actual console. S tier

[@DRAGONxZC]

“Tim: I hate that the 360 is white” Immediately after that, he puts the Wii (a white console) at S tier. What is the point of these if you just constantly contradict yourselves?

[@jamesseavy2414]

Please tell me this is a joke lmao. The Wii and the Xbox have completely different aesthetics. The original 360 is pretty ugly the original Wii is less ugly

[@CrossOutBryce]

Simply put, the 360 is ugly. The Wii is not

[@DarthMagnus0605]

Loved this episode! Please rank the console startup screens next

[@Eldur0]

@@DarthMagnus0605 this should definitely be done soon. I really don’t care for the OG PS1 because of the color (like Tim) but that startup sound is S tier number 1

[@joshuabarnett88]

Ahh yes, we all knew the Dreamcast took all it's influence from the GameCube, Roger... ... Dreamcast, that famously came out on 9/9/1999 took it's design influence from the GameCube, famously out 3 days after 9/11...

[@millennialnerds2106]

You didn’t know the Dreamcast was actually developed in 2003 and sent back in time. The swirl is actually burn marks from each console going back in time.

[@bennetthasty7886]

I forgot how cool the GameCube was ❤

[@absurdlynerd9904]

GameCube should have been number 1. They did the perfect job of making a cube interesting to look at. I’d have PS4 as a close second.

[@nickthemage2052]

Tim has a personal vendetta against the GameCube for some reason lol. Dude is always hating on one of the objectively best designed consoles of all time

[@aoBubs]

Looks can’t really be objective but yeah I really love the look of the GameCube

[@nickthemage2052]

@@aoBubs whether or not you like how it looks yeah but the principles of design are an objective philosophy. Which is what I was referring to lol

[@Siferzion]

You guys really need to add the versions of consoles that had a significant redesign. The PS3 Slim and Super Slim were significantly different from the original PS3. I'm sure there would be several other consoles that have similar design overhauls.

[@MrBungle222]

Wii is absolutely S tier just for the glowing blue disc drive that would pulsate to let you know that a friend had left a note on the calendar asking if you want to play mario kart or that "you suck" or even an update. And the hidden Gamecube controller ports!?!? Omg it was perfect and that little green/orange power button light is chefs kiss mwahhhh.

[@A720BOXER1336]

The PS2 was wayyyy overrated just ugly box shape with weird ridges, the 360 with a symmetrical design was clean and awesome

1:09:06 i was blindsided by what Tim said on the show on Wednesday. i would never condone anti-Dreamcast speech or encourage slander of that console's glorious game library in any form. after much reflection, i no longer feel it is appropriate to continue to defend Tim at this time, and all Tim-centric entertainment is now on hold. i am grateful to Sega fans for their support and understanding. 🙃

[@fabienzaca]

You guys needed to rank all the slim versions as well. Especially since they look completely different. Some of which should be S ranked imo.

[@kheops101]

I love how every Roger takes were basically "I want all my consoles to look like a toy for toddlers".

I don't understand how Tim, of all of the people at the desk, hesitated to make the Wii an S Tier. It's clean, it's white and it's blue. Crazy

Andy consistently has the thoughts that I seem to mostly align with here and he seems to remove himself from bias and nostalgia best, like with the Wii U rating.

This list is pretty bad, PS2 in S tier for appearances is almost as atrocious as PS5 in A tier. OG Xbox and Xbox 360 should both be moved a tier up, the 360 is better looking than any other non-Nintendo console. Wii and GameCube are the top two for sure but I also think Genesis should be up there, and PS4 is also understandable as S tier.

[@OCMRick]

NTSC got shafted on the Snes compared to PAL. PAL is S tier every day of the week

[@MaxwellSmartOddy]

Greg’s reasoning made him sound super biased, but he’s right: the Wii’s design is absolutely goated.

[@ParadoxalDream]

SNES is S-tier, best looking console of all time. It made the Super Famicom look like a piece of trash in comparison. And since you ignored your rule about not talking about controllers, its the only console that ever had concave X and Y buttons and it was the best thing ever for platformers. Sega Genesis is a low C.

Just poor design takes from all of you

[@MKap33]

1. You reall can't look at the Jag without including the CD player because thats what half of the design is for... and it's embarrassing. Pure F-tier. 2. At the same time, you guys did the TurboGrafx dirty by including it with the non-duo CD setup. On its own, it's not that bad. 3. PS5? *facepalm* 4. I would have put the Gamecube at the tippy top and I'm glad it got close. 5. Series X may be boring but it's the only one shaped the way it is almost entirely for function (aside from the Vectrex, I guess). Engineering-wise, it's kind of brilliant.

Gamecube is the world's coolest Fisher Price product. King of B-Tier with "A-Tier energy". It's never been peak. It's like when the nerd gets a makeover but then afterwards settles for a happy practical medium, N64 but not embarrassing. Genesis is King of C-Tier. It punches up with unintentional swagger. Think Jack Black in Anchorman. Nothing else is that wild on this list. PS1 is maybe bottom of A-Tier, it's as slick as a console could possibly be for it's time but it's missing something. I'd like to think the Xbox's in general could be higher. I'd probably defend PS5 more than most but the plate fins look cheap, especially with white on black - a black PS5 could do A for me. Series S could go F or S, I have no idea, it's confusing to look at.
