Video Game Rivalries

This is just a fun video recollecting some of the rivalries and feuds that I witnessed while growing up. I've seen everything from the obvious console wars to niche character battles. Please share your own stories!

Some big rivalries that come to mind are Street Fighter Vs Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil vs Silent Hill, Persona Vs SMT and of course Mario Vs Sonic. Back in the day the Jaguar was heavily campaigning their “Superior” graphics against the SNES, Genesis, Sega CD and even 3DO, it’s didn’t last long but it was fun to watch.

Star Ocean Vs Tales is the biggest rivalry I can think of.
This was not just the fans, the developers hate each other too.
This is a war that has raged on for decades
Obviously Tales is the most popular franchise so it often ends up being the winner usually.
The only time Tales lost the war was in 5th gen
Personally I'm on the Star Ocean side but I'm fighting a losing battle, even though Star Ocean's recent entry is a very strong one, Tales still surpasses it in popularity.
But I'm used to being the one backing the underdog.
As far as I'm concerned, the only time Tales ever had a decisive victory over Star Ocean was in 6th gen with Symphonia and Abyss
There's no doubt that Star Ocean had a decisive victory in 5th gen though as Star Ocean 2 destroyed both Destiny and Eternia, though there are still some people who will argue Eternia is better (which clearly shows their bias).
Ultimately though it's kinda an unfair matchup since Star Ocean doesn't get as many games out since tri-Ace are a small developer, Namco are a big publisher with lots of $$$ to throw at Tales.

Whoops! I originally wanted to talk about WoW vs. FF14, but it slipped my mind. 🥲

That wasn't a rivalry, that was a straight up beatdown.
