I honestly don't think the mainstream can distinguish well between which systems have better graphics. The system with the better graphics in each era is usually the one that sells less. It's usually the system with the best marketing that wins.
Once again, mainstream idiots fucked us with their eye candy loving.

Daytona looked horrid, and seemed like a harbinger of things to come - most of the initial Saturn games didn't look too hot. Daytona better than Ridge Racer? Hmm...I'd say that's a draw, but RR definitely looked better. Daytona's a bit more technical, and with three distinct tracks, but the overall fun-factor's not much different in my eyes, and RR had more to do in it.
And as much as it hurts me to say it, Tekken was better than the first Virtua Fighter. Of course, it was released much later, but there was more to it at the time, both visually and gameplay-wise. (Actually, the visuals weren't even close). Tons of characters, combos and those mindblowing cg endings. It's very easy to forget how simplistic the first VF was - it wasn't until after the second installment that VF really put some distance between the two franchises.
And you're leaving out another big game that put some distance between the PS and Saturn - Tomb Raider. The Saturn version really made Sega's machine look inferior.

Let us not forget that TR was destined to be Saturn exclusive, until Sony lined Core's pockets to pull the switch. Bastards.Originally posted by StriderKyo

Wasn't RE as well? Or am I imagining things?

RE as in Resident Evil? I believe it was always originally intended to be a PS game. Of course, I could be wrong.
I think you are right. The first I ever heard about it was in GameFan, and it was already on PS.Originally posted by Ashod

Resident Evil was always intended to be a PS game. The Saturn one was just a downgraded port.
Tomb Raider started its development life as a PC game before other versions were announced.

Actually, I remember hearing that TR was going to also be released on the 32X, waaay back. Sure, it probably isn't true, but who knows?

Are you sure about that? I remember reading in Gamefan, about the developement of Tomb Raider. The game was initialy planned for the Saturn. Core had tight relations with Sega, as a bulk of their games were released on the Sega CD. The PC version came out after the consoles, and I believe it was released as Tomb Raider Gold.
