Reminder that the Gamecube was less powerful than the PS2

https://def-jam-wrestling.fandom.com/wiki/Def_Jam_Fight_For_NY

>There are features exclusive to PS2 and Xbox that are missing from the GameCube version. The player is restricted to having one voice for the main character - as opposed to the six found in other versions. Eight of the 28 available music tracks are missing. The Gamecube's hardware lacks the light blur effect that permeates on the characters and arenas. Furthermore, certain 3 or 4 player arenas have reduced crowds.

This wiki doesn't even mention how compressed a lot of the textures are on the GC. Also should I even mention how games like SSX Tricky literally had to cut tricks due to the Gamecubes controller not having enough buttons?

Then why did RE4 and Viewtiful Joe look and run better on GC?

Reminder that EA was one of the few last parties to not have given up on the Gamecube, and they still had to cancel Burnout 3 for the GC due to its inferior hardware.

Because both were developed for Gamecubes hardware and ports were rushed. Majority of games were developed as PS2 baseline including custom rendering pipelines in studios on engine level so it resulted in that and sole reason why Xbox versions look the best(not even always though) is because it was able to bruteforce those features due to better hardware raw performance wise. Gamecube for example had an issue with memory since it had two chips split 16MB for video and 16Mb for audio unlike PS2 that had 32mbs that let devs to allocate that in any way they wanted without doing anything special. This resulted in having to make custom memory handling shit for Gamecube ports often and a lot of studios just didnt bothered to do that. Gamecubes CPU also had some issues. That gen consoles had very custom hardware where all GPUs were handling rendering pipelines differently which allowed for custom solutions to be developed to go through raw power limitations.

Yeah the GameCube is a pile of shit.

The funniest part of their whole โ€œps2 sold because le dvd playerโ€ is, 1. the PS2 had far higher software attachment, and 2. one of their biggest shill points for the shitcube is RE4 having better cutscenes at the cost of less content. Cubies are mentally ill faggots and should be sterilized before theyโ€™re allowed any more zoomers into being smelee groomers

Back then porting wasn't that easy

Also Mikami said that he'd kill himself if RE4 ever went multiplat, so Capcom immediately rushed out a port as soon as he announced that on stage

>rush a PS2 port in less than a year
this is why
speaking off Resident Evil, REremake,RE0 and RE4's GC sales combined couldnt even beat the sales of RE3 on the PSX
GCfags not buying is the reason RE went into its dogshit action era

That's probably due to some of the gamecube's post-processing techniques. The Gamecube had a much more powerful graphics processor and general CPU than most other consoles at the time, especially stronger than the Dreamcast and the PS2. It was also one of the first consoles to introduce texture streaming, a technique that is still used today in many games.

Reminder even ports that seem normal at first might suffer because of the shitcubeโ€™s dogshit controller, like SSX Tricky and 3 missing entire trick sets.

The GameCube was more powerful than the PS2 and a little behind the Xbox during its generation but it was notoriously difficult to develop for, and the proprietary disc solution also hurt them a lot. It's so weird how much of an unfortunate flop the GameCube was, considering it had such a high attach rate for its software. Most games from that era are considered timeless classics now.

The shitcubeโ€™s entire identity can be summed up as RE4 cutscenes, missed mutiplats, shovelware party games, the worst 3D mario, no good RPGs, the shittiest controller ever, and the GBA player so you can play some actual good games. And cubies will defend it

Gamecube isn't at fault for lazy devs.
GC had a vastly superior CPU, clocked faster, better architecture, and it's GPU was clocked faster and was far more modern featuring programmable shaders, PS2 had 2 advantages, it was ablet to hit higher resolutions easier thanks to more mem bandwidth (not a bottleneck for standard games for the gen) and it's whole system was fully custom featuring dedicated processors for vector maths which would have made it better for processing physics, but that still depends on the dev, if you're good like say retro you can do complex hard/soft body physics because of the CPU gap, if you're shit like say Criterion then you will blame the Gamecube in spite of having a shitload of unused CPU resources. these are the PS2's only advantages, Gamecube was better designed for a more standard game use case.

Nintendo still had shitloads of cash just sitting around, they would have been fine, people forget that the reason why Nintendo tanks this shit is because videogames are their only business.

Radical had one yes one GameCube obsessed dude who alone made all GC ports of their games and made a lot of specific modifications to their Titanium engine for them to work. Hulk UD also runs at 60fps on GC while it targets 30fps on PS2.
