Seriously, has a single person claimed PS2 was more powerful than Xbox here?
Idk what your beef is, or why you direct such posts at me or in general to folks saying good things about Saturn games here. Not once have I said or implied Saturn is as/more powerful as/than PS so why do you need me to reiterate something silly like Saturn can't have GT/RR4? Noone said it can.
All I've done is post some good Saturn games that look, run & play well, for their era or now, whether they technically top the grandest PS/N64 example (or version) you adore or not and whether they use real polygons for everything or mix in sprites and voxels and VDP2 planes and effects or not.
Adding that plenty great PS games wouldn't top those same greatest PS examples or how certain grand PS games also exhibit issues you've completely trashed Saturn games/ports for or how there's no need to post hyperbole about things like Wipeout 3 having no pop in yet it does or how Tenka has no framedrops throughout yetit does that you keep doing in your effort to stress Saturn and its games/ports are trash whenever they too happens to display fps drops or pop in. Now you keep harping on about STCC like that's the pinnacle of Saturn racing games/graphics (there were way better since 95) and pit it against the very best on PlayStation because I pointed out you praised TOCA (1) which also has serious performance issues, ie, you're very inconsistent with what you find acceptable and what trash based on if it's on Saturn or not.
Good looking/running/playing Saturn racer: Oh but only 2 carZ? Yes, that's how it was designed, even in the arcade with far more powerful hardware, not all games have 40 rivals on track like Daytona USA, noone said it tops GT, just that it's a good looking, running, playing racer.
Good looking/running/playing Saturn fps: Oh but 2D enemieZ? Yes, that's how it was designed, even on powerful PC you had games like that, not everything was the pioneering Quake and sequels, noone said it tops Quake II PSX, just that it's a good looking, running, playing fps.
Never going "Oh but 2D backgroundZ?!" for RE2 and such of course, except to say those would somehow be impossible on Saturn as well (when, again, noone said they'd be 1:1 anyway, with similar concessions to the original RE expected, which still made it a great game to play).
Etc.
Tl;dr, if you can play TOCA and Syphon Filter on PS and Perfect Dark and OoT on N64 among many other greats that are far from perfect on these far from perfect machines, you can enjoy games like Tomb Raider and Resident Evil and Wipeout XL which were great to have on Saturn even if not their best iteration and can enjoy loads more Saturn exclusives/best on Saturn games even if they also exhibit performance issues or other stuff you latch on when you run out of meaningful issues like suddenly remembering it has mesh transparencies after reluctantly praising a game in order to take it back, lol (surely as some hardcore retro gamer you don't only rely on raw pixel/emulator captures you keep presenting in the worst manner possible here but have all this gear available, you can get a cheap composite or RF cable or at least use a shader preset emulating one and the mesh is gone).
You pretend having an objective discussion (wElL iF It'S GoOd WhY iT dIdN't SeLl, ThAt'S tHe ThReAd's PoInT?!) but love constantly telling people you disagree with they have a high tolerance to shit tier gameplay/graphics and you don't (obviously PS is magically on the threshold where it's just right, anything lesser is pure shit tier and anything more just unnecessary, that's a trend with every Sony machine for such super objective folks like you, lol) because they don't find sprites in 32bit 3D games to be an abomination or less technically sound choices for the era (or giving Saturn an unfair advantage so we can't count games using them because they aren't polygons, lol?!) and can play games that aren't flawless on the Saturn just as you can play them on every other platform but the Saturn.
You're all over the place and make no sense, now this post is the same because of that, I guess you can go find more youtubers or ancient print reviews telling you/us this or that is unacceptable (blue shadows anyone, such objective critics) because you couldn't even tell from videos/playing
RetroGaming who bring up games like Tomb Raider, F1, GTA, Quake 2 and all that. One could just say I couldn't carless about Colin McRae, F1, TOCCA, FF7, MGS , Quake 2 Ect,ect on the PS1. I'll play them on the PC and with the PC, have by far the best version of Quake 1 and 2 the Tomb Raiders and also the best F1 game ever made with Geoff's F1 GP2 and a better port of F1 97 with more features...
