Why do terrible N64 games live in infamy?

Games Asylum: "Question is, then, what’s so special about the N64’s worst games? It’s almost as if they’ve been granted special status within the halls of video gaming. If you care to indulge, we have a few theories about why the likes of Superman 64 have remained in our collective minds instead of fading into obscurity."

Bubsy 3D is just as infamous as any of these titles

I’m not a big fan of the n64 graphically. I prefer the snes in every way.

TFJWM2527d ago

umm graphics by far are better on n64...It is like saying I like the graphics of ps1 over ps2

NonShinyGoose2526d ago

The N64's graphics have aged badly. Like, really badly. Developers were chasing 'photorealism' at a time when it simply wasn't possible. The textures are known for being horribly fuzzy too.

2D visuals are often more abstract or artistic, so they don't age as badly. Particularly on the 16-bit systems.

FloydianAndroid2526d ago

Actually it’s not like the difference between ps1 and ps2 at all. If you go
Back and look at games from snes and n64, the snes games hold up a lot better especially in art style. There were some nice looking games on n64 but most looked really rough.

P_Bomb2526d ago

I agree with Floyd and Goose.

strayanalog2527d ago

Not just the N64, but that entire era houses mistakes; every generation does. The 5th Gen is the benchmark of what we primarily game on, and like an old yearbook we tend to look back to shake our head at our mistakes, choices, or revel in it.

I would love to see a true AAA game for the Watchmen.

SDuck1346d ago

don't see that working outside of colab appearences in other games such as Injustice

sourOG1346d ago

Nah a Rorschach narrated detective story would be dope.

Darkborn1346d ago

IO interactive making a rorschach game after 007 would be interesting.

Knightofelemia1346d ago (Edited 1346d ago )

I'd be down for Invisible I enjoyed the cartoon I wouldn't mind at least seeing a new Mystery Men movie that could lead to a game. Or even give Kick Ass a game I though hits movies were pretty good Wild C.A.T.S would also be an interesting game.

Abnor_Mal1346d ago

Howard the Duck and Squirrel Girl team up

sourOG1346d ago

I’d like to see a world breaker hulk vs the Illuminati game. Or army of darkness vs marvel zombies.

star1291345d ago

Superman Returns had potential and to me the best Superman game to date. Yet it lacked so many features like Superman music from John Williams , day and night cycles, Sidequests spaceflight, weather changes and much more. Take Returns foundation and expand to current gen and give slice of what Arkham did for Batman.

The Beauty Behind Licensed Shovelware

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Why do we do this? We are well aware that a specific licensed game isn’t good, yet we actually manage to be less critical, we manage to overlook its issues, and enjoy these tie-ins, these perfect definitions of the word “shovelware”, without an issue. What is it about these games that makes us more… tolerant? Is it the novelty of playing a game based on a license we like? Is it some kind of psychological effect that reminds us of simpler days? Does it mean that playing these games brings out the best version of the gamer inside of us?"
