Grandia and NiGHTS look pretty ugly. Even as someone that loves it, Saturn 3D is pretty offensive.
Sure, these are emulator shots, but still...
So ugly, so offensive?

Man, a full Sonic game like this would have been way better than what Sonic Xtreme would have been.
You saw that thread and you can't think of one even though people filed the thread with pictures of good looking Gen 5 games?
What's this game?
Sorry for the shitty gifs (if someone can suggest me a better site to make gif I would appreciate).R4 was easily the best looking racer of the generation.

I've been watching videos of some old games and Donkey Kong 64 still stands out as a real looker to me!
Will post screens later.
Saturn easily had the largest gap between terrible to great graphics on any 3D system. Some games look like putrid 3do shit covered mess, others easily on par with the best PSX/N64 stuff. I remember finding VF2 in a charity shop on holiday and being absolutely floored when I got it home and booted it up. This was pre-internet for me so I wasn't very well educated on what titles where available. Shit, I mean my Grandmother bought me a Saturn when I was in primary school and desperately wanted a PS1, I didn't even know Sega had a successor to the megadrive at the time and I was very young. Thank god she did now looking back.
Apart from that is running in an emulator at a higher resolution..

I think some of you guys are basing your suggestions on memory. I actually purchased an N64 and played a bunch of PS1 a couple of years ago and got to witness firsthand which games hold up. 3D games with Prerendered backgrounds still look good and in some cases impressive. Cartoony N64 games still look good. Crash and Spyro still look decent. The game that shocked me the most at how it aged was Golden Eye. I literally could not believe what I was looking at. I remembered it so differently. MGS and Tomb Raider have some nice touches but were games I remembered looking much more impressive.
LOL, why don't you blow it up and put it in a 5:2.145568 aspect ratio too
Did the game really have a widescreen mode?
I get that, the shocking thing wasn't how ugly the game looked, but more how different my memory of it was. It's kind of weird how my brain basically created it's own bullshots of the game.To be fair, Goldeneye was one of the earliest N64 releases, later Retro games for N64 looks much better artistically and technically, Perfect Dark being the finest example.

Sega was clearly the best in the industry at that time when it came to pushing 3D. Too bad that was only really the case in the arcade; a Saturn that could've handled this 100% would've cleaned house.I'm cheating because it's an arcade game, but

PCs have generally taken over that role now...well, they would if there were games made that required a Titan and nothing less.There was a time that arcade boards were the place to look at top tech in the gaming industry. Look at things like the Sega Y board (1988) and compare it with the console and PC games of the time.
I dare say Resident Evil 2 on the N64 was one of the best ports done. I don't care what the fuck you say about the FMV quality. The fact that they manage to fit it on a cart at that time when video compression technology isn't as good as today's in itself is amazing.thread needs some N64 love!
