Sony PlayStation VS Sega Saturn - Game Sack

"I really wanted a Zelda game on CD". Luckily, you could play it on the Philips CD-i... :O

With all the resources Sega had, they needed a Sonic launch title. Even a 2D Sonic game at first and later on a 3D experience would have been a game changer for the system.

Soon as "Rollllllinnnnnng starrrrrrt" plays christ brings tears to my eyes so many memories

Sega adding 3D chips to the Saturn at the last minute wasnt the problem.. Not sharing their secrets to 3rd party developers, forcing them to learn on their own was.

I miss when consoles weren't exact replicas of one another.

The real winners are those who lived through this era and experienced the excitement of the time. 1995 was an amazing year ! The jump from 16-bit to 32-bit was just amazing and unlike nowadays , it was mind blowing seeing the 32-bit wars start as soon as the 16-bit wars ended, and all the bit players ( 3DO , Jag , CDi ) crash and burn while these 2 slugged it out. Anyway I believe that if more Japanese Saturn games were brought over the system would have lasted longer. My question to Game Sack is how come we didn't see any 3D games take advantage of the 4MB RAM cart ? Would that have pushed Saturn graphics past PS1 ?

I love the look of the Saturn. Reminds me of a jet black sports car.

I own both consoles, Great machines, good old times! With 20 years they still working! Great video

Saturn got COMPLETELY shafted in the US. I owned one and was really disappointed in the amount of games I could actually locally get. The real magic is in Japanese releases.

Thing is Saturn has both Suikoden I and Vandal Hearts lol. I have both!!

Soul Edge/Blade's opening is still one of my favorite songs today. TO SHINE!

Would love to see a game optimzed perfectly for the saturn to see its true power that was never fully implemented. I loved mine and enjoyed every moment playing it.

The Sega Saturn can do 480p?!? 😱😱 Even earlier than the Dreamcast

It seems like AAA games from this period were much more varied, since games were still aimed at "gamers" instead of the general public. I hate that AAA games try to appeal to everyone now days, since that pretty much sucks all of the personality out of them. It's a kind of Jack of all trades, but master of none situation, I guess. What do you guys think?

"I really wanted to play a Zelda game on a CD". Well, there was three Zelda CD games. But we do not speak of those!

I like that positives and negatives of both systems were touched upon and this is as unbiased a review of the two systems I have seen. Good work

In hardware terms Saturn was...the PS3? Damn.

"I like Saturn better than PlayStation, but we have to be realistic." That's fantastic. That's how not to be a freak fanboy. This should be taught in schools. (Sega fan here)

I enjoy how you guys are able to mix plain matter-a-factness with not taking yourselves seriously. Really great channel.

I feel like Saturn was lowkey an INCREDIBLE 2D SPRITE-BASED console when everything was shifting to 3D polygons/triangles and unfortunately, it made the Saturn get OVERLOOKED in the public perception. Because despite Genesis being a household name, it seemed like EVERYONE I KNEW GROWING UP moved to the PlayStation rather than the Saturn which was SO STRANGE TO ME at the time considering Sega was a respected name in gaming at the time and Sony hadn’t yet proven themselves.
