32X vs. 3DO vs. Jaguar

[Vicman]

Awesome work Melf!

The PSX got 'Return Fire' two years later.
IMO, it's almost never worth it to get a console for the sake of a single game. If the 3DO had other titles worth getting, then it would be a more reasonable choice.

But as it stands, the 3DO has nothing.
but hey, it still has more than the CDi

The Jaguar.

At least sega had a name so i go with 32X,it had some really good arcade ports and a few decent games.Atari still sound worse Oke I have to admit taht atari 2600 was good for its time,But to base every console on youre roots is just shit.Come on Atari jaguar lived for temepest 2000 and the lynx isnt worth a Trash dump it is just to crap,I loved it a little bit but a year later i found it a shame in my collection The graphics look horrible 16 bit Yeah right it looks like 8 bit,Atari 2600 TM 7800,not impressed Nintedo and sega already released their consoles to set 8 bit with original games and not tempest arkanoid and pacman aggain,all their consoles where fun but not good exept atari 2600.Oke atari lives aggain and they release tempest 2005 and pacman aggain,a,a,a,a, this for just 200 $ with atari,s brand new console The atari Packman<you ask why packman because it comes packed with 100 games youve Never played this system shows you the most upp to date graphics,That the X box 360 couldnt produce(Wouldnt dare to produce.)it shows you 4 bits ingame graphics,Now you see lipp-boy former genesis commercials,that is retarded and old in Atari Packman commercials>B,B,B,B uyy this while its hot and brand new,ATARI for live>Think about that and it maybe reminds you of what history atari had In my uppinion Atari Sucked for live theyre still bringing that atari shit on the marked Atari collection 2005 etc,when does the hurting stop,Thousand times better a 32x than something atari,And then we aint talking about the 3do 3D oooohhhh what shit is that console,To expensive to early released plus saturn and PsX set the 32 bit score.BTW not many know Panasonic as games industry so serves em right the console faded in cow shit.Sega was one of the few companies people did know in that time,next to nintendo and sony. :lol

Well you gotta give one thing to Panasonic with their 3DO

It was developed to be a license free platform. It didn't cost them any licensing fees to develop for the system and release games (which is why so much crap was released on it and one reason you should praise SEGA and the big N for their lic. deal.) Still a [failed] nice gesture towards the developing teams out there.

Anyways, because of that though, it caused the consoles to be high priced because that is what Panny was making their money off of.

32x is the only one with potential it recalls other system for its games that made it,32X cd games.3DO lived for its ports much games where ported to psx and saturn and what was left exlusive for the console was some crappy games.Jaguar is just pathetic Posting in big Lettertype 64 Bit supreme power etc,It just was made of 4 16 bit processors,The console showed 16 bit graphics and worser sometimes A few times a bit 3D but 64 bit come on,The so called 64 bit games could be ported to saturn and psx whit no problem so certanly not 64 bit plus what games did it have all typical atari games that bore some people to death Come on arkanoid and some polygon shit games smart showing the so called 64 bit graphs on the back of the box,That where just fotos.The controllor looked like a calculator and the jaguar cd wasnt nothing good either.Than still one of my favorite games come whit the 32x Virtua fughter and after burner and those games where well done,sore that there werent more of that games.

What the heck are you trying to say? I can not read any of your posts, and I'm sure everyone can not either.

Neither can I, but I think you just need to structure your sentences a little better. The ideas seem good, but I just can't understand you...

[lordofduct]

His grammar is worse then mine... but I kinda get what he is saying.

Oh and the Jaguar was not 4 16-bit processors... it had several different processors all code named.

Tom
consisted of 3 processors for graphic processing
1 32-bit main GPU processor
1 64-bit object processor
1 64-bit blitter processor

Jerry
consisted of 1 32-bit RISC processor for sound and joystick control along with other manipulation for RAM bus speed boosts
was rather good actually

Generic
consisted of 1 16-bit Motorolla 68000 at 13.29 mhz
it's just a faster version of what is in our little genny.


There may be fights over bus speeds through out the system (causing a lot of its bugs). But technically it does have a 64-bit bus in it... two of them. Along with 64-bit RAM accessing. It usually processed at 32-bit though and was handed code from a 16-bit processor...

you know what.

sounds like Windows 9x to me! HAHAHAHAHAHA

If jaguar shows 64 bit then i would have voted for the jaguar,but it doesnt at all,BTW dont talk so simpel,Oke my english isnt great but still you get what I mean,bTW i am dutch,if you cant read englisch a bit or something than that isnt my problem.I trie to explain it in good english and howcome you still react to my posts,if you couldnt read it you wouldnt better it,BTW do we al have to be smart asses that pretend we cant read a bit of it.BTW logical im dutch,Than youre grammer has to be very worse if youre english or american ,If you compare it to mine ,anyways thanx for praising my grammer youre enlish doesnt seem bad Lordofduct.TRY TO FIGURE THIS OUT

[Psy]

The problem with the Jaguar was that it had a very convoluted design and was a bitch to program for.

I played 32x virtua fighter yesterday its a fine title,But whats upp with the game gear sounds,over waved by some thin guitar sounds,Still the Dural stage sounds Fun but the sound is something that scared me in some parts,also did doom.

sorry bout posting on an old thread but this whole thing is ridiculous, the 3do easily outclasses these other systems, it's on a completely other level to them!, I can't believe people are saying there's nothing worth buying on the 3do and then saying the jaguar had promise in the same sentence!, anyway here are my reasons for the 3do being the best of the 3

1. the ONLY console to get ports of the first Alone in the Dark and STAR CONTROL 2, which is one of the best games ever made and virtually reason enough to get the 3do alone, don't beleive me? check this, http://top100.ign.com/2003/51-60.html (star control got 53 greatest game ever made, also notice return fire at 56) and http://uk.gamespot.com/gamespot/feat...games/p-7.html (star control 2 got into gamespots greatest games of all time)

2. street fighter 2, samurai showdown and road rash were considered some of the best versions for any systems out at the time

3. Need for speed, Return fire and Space Hulk were all created for the 3do originaly, and all gained high critical success

4. most of what the jaguar and 32x had were on the 3do as well anyway! (cannon fodder, theme park, lemmings, Flashback, Syndicate, fifa, bust a move)

5. though not amazing games, immercenary, star fighter, the horde and killing time, were all solid games and received mid 80 percent scores in magazines of the time.

Anyway to wrap up, all the jaguar had was alien vs predator, tempest 2000, and a good port of doom, a bunch of "usual suspect" ports and a controller that was a mess.

All the 32x had was virtua fighter, and a bunch of "usual suspect" ports, as well as it being ridiculously under-powered.

I can't believe people are saying there's nothing worth buying on the 3do

The titles you mentioned were the ONLY good releases for the 3DO, Alone in the Dark on the 3DO is substandard considering the Playstation port. Plus there is a reason 3DO filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy recently, they had bad marketing strategies throughout their entire life cycle as a console developer and a Third Party developer with the Army Men series being their only real accomplishment (the series isn't even that great anyway). The 32X had more than just Virtua Fighter, it had Virtua Racing, Corpse Killer, Night Trap, Star Wars Arcade, Kolibri and a not bad port of Doom to say the least. The 3DO is just not worth owning for the 4 or 5 good titles that were released for it. You are entitled to your own opinion however and I hope you continue to enjoy the 3DO in the future.

What ! I Am outraged. How do you justify this indignity?! How could possibly forget the CD-I? It had such a wonderful library.
