PS1

Why hasn't this console been as fetishised as others by the "geek™" community?

Individual games and series have been. The PS library was vast, while the N64 was defined by a relative handful of games which coupled with childhood memories/nostalgia are easier to invoke than the PS1's 'aesthetic'

weve been over this a hundred times.

Ps1 has a big as fuck library with quality AND quantity games in every genre.

N64 has the same 5 games everybody played who owned the console

>Why hasn't this console been as fetishised as others by the "geek™" community?

I mean it's not like a the same bunch of 25-30 year old nerd cred types just bought copy paste HD a 20 year old killer app for said console or anything right OP?

everyone but dumb kiddies born after its release call it the psx

The games are too hard for normies.

People that owned a Playstation eventually became functional adults or normies, the same can't be said about N64 owners, it has nothing to do with console specs or library (both had fucking incredible libraries) but with the playerbase

This.
>own a PSX as a kid
>use it to play a vast library of games
>games are good
>go on to become an adult, play other games that are good and buy systems for good games

>own an N64 as a kid
>use it to play the same 5 games over and over
>games are excuses to buy colourful addons and sequels
>go on to become an obsessive manchild, play these same games in their re-releases and buy more Nintendo gimmicks to play in public while everyone around sidles away

It's utilitarian, was replaced by the PS2 then the PS3. There's no reason to own an actual PlayStation besides collector value. You also can't compare other gaming products to Nintendo fetishism. That subculture attracts deranged and underdeveloped minds.

STOP CALLING IT A PSX IT'S FUCKING PS1 WHY ARE YOU CALLING IT PSX!?

Since nobody uses cartridges for home consoles anymore, cartridge-based consoles have stronger "geek cred."
PlayStation's best games also don't fit in with "geek fashion" as much. Mario and Zelda will always be more popular than something like SotN or Silent Hill, so those are the games that get t-shirts which geeks then wear.

Its the best console of all time tied with SNES. I dont need to create thread left and right to proclaim it, its simply a fact.

No reason to own a pS1 when you can just get a ps2

Because I got used to calling it that before there ever was a PS2

bullshit, my first console was a ps1 and im a complete failure

When I was a kid people either called it the (most commonly) Playstation or PSX due to magazines and of vidya media dubbing it that due to it being the codename, then the PS One happened so the PSX became necessary to separate them. I guess you had to be around during the PSX's release to get it.

Atari, Sega, and Nintendo consoles have timeless classics. PS1 had shovelware and Spyro.

I worked two different vidya store jobs ages ago. It was 'PSX' in the inventory/point-of-sale of both stores. It's just a habit I've kept.

>people responding to the psx vs ps bait

I remember being surprised when a game mag pointed out that PSX was in no way an official term, given it was used pretty universally

Actually user, i believe it is called a "PlayStation". It waa written:
>on the box
>on the console
>on the controller
>on the memory card
>on the game boxes

"PlayStation" that's what i called mine.
>hey dude, you playing Pokemon there? You got an N64 for stadium too?
>no, i have a PlayStation though.

There is no reason to own a nice purple THICCcube when i could own a Wii, but id fucking rather anyway, and so would others judging by Gamecubes being worth more than Wii's now.

Because I was born before its release

me on top

Because it's a huge piece of shit. Some of the games are pretty good though. I don't understand why nobody ever complains about the horrible loading times on that thing.

>PS1 has a near limitless number of 7-8/10s and the N64 has pretty much all the games of the generation.
>PS1 "Won" sales. A metric nobody who plays games should give a shit about.
>Gee why aren't fond memories of the PS1 more common?

Mario and Zelda same as every single Nintendo console, very impressive.

This is sadly true.

If you look like Rebecca idgaf i will finger your butt

Nintendo characters are more childish and cartoonish, so attract cast outs.

where do people who had both fit in with your retarded assumptions?

The Playstation is a really nice looking piece of hardware. Far better than the N64 and the piece of shit that is the Sega Saturn.

N64 forever killed Mario and Zelda franchise by butchering classic 2d titles into horrible 3d trash.

SNES is the last good Nintendo console

Idk where you live bud but Wii's and gamecube's around me hover at $30. Also you're implying that the gamecubes design isn't something that you'd want to outright own. Come on son you can compare GCN design to the fucking ps1

>relative handful

you mean a literal handful because you can hold all the good N64 games in one hand.

DISC READ ERROR

This.

thank you that really means a lot to me

there's nothing wrong with calling it a psx

That's because it was the first one. Now we call it ps1 because there's 4 of them.

Except that the PSX is a completely different console
PSX name was dropped before official release of the PS1

It has been called PS1 ever since the PS2, it was called the PlayStation and by some the PS before that

video game magazines and even developers were calling it psx as early as the ps2 was announced

your counter's going to be
>I'm an autist so what I say matters more than people actually in the video game industry at the time
isn't it

Which did they play the most?
>inb4 hurrrr the same amount

U wan sum fucc?

This thread would get deleted during American Sup Forums time for not being "Nintendo-friendly".

but what if it actually was the same amount?
please explain how your highly intelligent theory applies to small idorts

People using the unofficial name past when it was dropped doesn't magically make it right

go back to /tonyhawk/ normiestationfag

>get home from school
>want to play my playstation today
>slap self in face
>"BAD user. YOU PLAYED THAT YESTERDAY"
>flip over hourglass and settle down to 58.6 minutes of N64
>be happy, because someday, this will help me shitpost.

are you implying that I'm the one shitposting here user?
you're the one who's making personality and lifestyle judgments from the kind of console someone played on as a kid

>are you implying that I'm the one shitposting here user?

>having nothing left to back up his paper-thin argument, the Anony Faggius resorts to posting wacky faces

>making personality and lifestyle judgments from the kind of console someone played on as a kid

Well, the things people do as they develop is important. Are you retarded? Maybe you played too much N64 as a kid. Are you wearing a tingle suit right now?

Except when the entire culture and community around the games call it this...thats what its called.
Like, you being a faggot. You may think you have a proper name, but to all of us here. Just faggot.

>implying i'm him
>NO U

Well, the PSX found a way worse fellowship than manchildren.

>pic related

>calling it a PSX

That's what we were actually calling it, back then. Why should we stop now?

Audiophiles are the scum of the Earth.

Because EVERYONE remembers the PSX proudly, not just obese autismals with odor problems and pockets full of amiibos.

Are you a dj

The Nintendo console instantly invalidates the Chadstation.

Good thing we didn't develop nostalgia goggles, only everyone else did. R-right bros?

Called it the ps1 when it came out and ever since only people trying hard to pretend they were alive when it came out make a big deal about calling it the psx

When Crash Bandicoot gets an HD rerelease it's called a big deal.

When Mario does, it's called Thursday.

No you fucking didn't you lying cunt.

You called it the PLAYSTATION there was no PS2 for the PS1 to need to be called the PS1.

The PS1 library requires you to be at least a little bit of a big fucking nerd to appreciate fully. Most people would at least vaguely remember stuff like Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, Crash and Spyro.

But games ranging from DEAD IN THE WATER to the Army Man games to whatever PS1 games you're coming up with yourself are what really defined the console. These obscure, almost experimental games made the PS1 so much more worth holding onto for the last 20 years because there's so much in its library to discover.

like cho aniki

youtube.com/watch?v=sxektgHKdLs

?

nah, in fact I would say I played quite a bit more PSX as a kid
I just think you're making some very large leaps in logic

That's a weird ps1 you have, OP. Mine was like like that.

Because the playstation wasn't a bing bing wahoo box

>calling it a psx
this triggers my autism every time

why was the disk drive cover on this son of a bitch so fucking stubborn

Mmmm, dat slim kiddie design.
I can't believe Sony became such a "mature gamur" company afraid of anything wacky.

the psx was already smol
this is downright tiny

Fuck, I am lying it was always just PlayStation thinking about it

When was the last time a mario game was rereleased with updated graphics

They knew the consequences.

Probably because a great deal of people bought it on impulse, or used it as a CD player. Most of those people weren't all that into video games to begin with. They left it to collect dust and quickly forgot about it.

Every game for the last 30 years. They just change the name, too.

>>use it to play a vast library of games
PSX was my first console but you can count the number of truly great games on two hands: MGS, FF7-9 and that's about it. More doesn't mean better

I wish they had managed to make the PS3 just as tiny as the first two.

How long until nintendo fanboys claim people only bought Sega to make sick chiptunes? How long until we learn that the market for Atari 2600 was all about those sick business apps, and there was no games or people interested in games until our lord and savior Shiggy arrived?
Deal with it, faggot, other consoles had games too. And people played them.

Because it's actually good.

Off the top of my head:

Tomb raider 1, 2, 3
Front Mission 3
Lunar 1, 2
Dragon Valor
Legend of Legaia
Twisted Metal games
Gran Turismo
Dino Crisis
Silent Hill
SOTN
Vagrant Story
Resident Evil
Legend of Dragoon
Alundra 1, 2
Spyro
Suikoden 1, 2

We gotta bring out the stick again, I guess.

There's some games with PSX on the back cover too.

They already claim that Nintendo saved video games.

It's a ps1, not a PSX. The PSX was a Japan only DVR.

I still have no idea why it says playstation 2 on the bottom right, but whatever.

>not one but TWO pages from the Czech OPM
Nice

still have my psone
never owned a n64

>I still have no idea why it says playstation 2 on the bottom right, but whatever.

Because that's the logo for the games, and it plays the games.

It was always either referred to as the "PlayStation" or rarely "PS".
Only after the PS2 was announced in 1999 did it become commonly known as the PS1. The actual PS one release solidified that.

PSX only ever re-appeared once the PS1 emulation scene started up, and even then was uncommon.
It's similar to people calling the GameCube "Dolphin". It was the first prototype designation.

So yeah, I agree, they can fuck off.
It's kind of a red-flag for being a 6th Gen or later childhood babby.

I never called it the PSX. I always new it as the PS1.

>getting this mad over a video game console

And they say Nintendo fans are cultists

I had three games on my N64. OoT, Goldeneye and Mystic 64. I got bored of it very easily and shoved it in a drawer. I found it again last year and gave it away because I have no attachment to it whatsoever.

Strange user, that one seems to have been called the PSone

Megaman 8
Megaman Legends
MML 2
Vigilante 8
Dead in The Water
Oddworld
Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness
Medieval
Armored Core
Ace Combat games
rereleases of MMX3 and MegaMan 2-6
Heart of Darkness
Metal Slug X
Grandia

PS1 was a beast.

Well then. TIL something from Sup Forums. Not something I'd ever thought I'd say in my life, but here we are.

Gosh, how did I forget Grandia? I'm ashamed of myself. Also, Parasite eve games!

Shit, PSX was amazing. Whatever you like to call it.
