who gives a fuk who makes the games, aslong as the r great games
it just so happened that both nintendo and rare were responsible 4 most of the great games on the N64, not all, but most
Okay, here comes the truth.
I completely skipped the N64/Psone era of consoling. So I probably have the least valuable opinion here. (I jumped from the SNES to the cube and ps2)
I just think that RARE in particular excelled at only making two genres of games, being adventure games (Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, etc.) and First Person Shooters (Goldeneye/Perfect Dark) and because of the lack of different developers that the N64 had, it lacked different genres of games. I could be wrong but I don't really recall hearing of *any* RPG's that the N64 had. And not that I'm a fan of them or anything but there seemed to be no "real" racing games (ie. Not like Mario Kart or Diddy Kong racing) ... and if you think about it now, they are two extremely popular gaming genres.
That being said,
Multiplayer wise, N64 completely hammered the PS.
Anyway, as I stated previously that's just my opinion and I tried to back it up.
and my opinion is probably strongly affected the back that I went from the Cube BACK to the N64 and so I missed this "revolutionary 3d" stuff that the 64 was famous for. "THE CAMERA WORKS SO WELL" really doesn't cut it when you go from Zelda: wind waker, back to Ocarina of time.
