Why hasn't this been locked yet? It's flame-bait if I've ever seen it.

"After playing zelda i need to spill some virtual blood : )"

That deserves a big, "WTF!?" I haven't seen a single intelligent comment yet...

When I'm in a bitchy mood such as this, I would rather avoid looking up sources to prove this kid wrong...Instead, I go straight for the ad hominem approach!

Ok here is an intelligent comment.

A game that I would like to bring up that is now considered to be old, infact runs better on the Gamecube than the other two consoles. The game i'm talking about is James Bond: Agent Under Fire. When you start a multiplayer game it takes the playstation 14 seconds to load it up, the x-box takes 12 seconds to load up and the Gamecube takes an amazing 4 seconds!!!!!! If anybody is wondering I got this information when I use to be an IGN-Insider member. I didn't pay of course somebody gave me their password

This just goes to prove that gamecube runs just as well as the other consoles, actually it runs better!!!!!!

no, lol

Regarding the original post, of course.

teckmoney · « **Reply #33 on:** December 12, 2003, 03:05:40 PM »

NAw , this just shows that if there is a game published for both GC and xbox ill by it for xbox b/c its nicer looking. Nintendo exclusives i will buy...but not ports.

That's true, but most ports cannot show the power of the X-Box or GameCube since they are PS2 ports, and they are usually not optimized. Rogue Leader is a fantastic testament to the GameCube's power. It is pushing 15 million polygons a second, and not even the X-Box has done that yet in a game. Furthermore, it's impressive that Factor 5 can tap into such power in 9 months with the GameCube, while developers working for years with PS2 and X-Box hardware might not achieve what Factor 5 did with Rogue Leader.

I don't buy the ports because they suck.

And never trust someone with monkey in their name. . . unless infernal is in it, too. Nevermind.

mario mario · « **Reply #36 on:** December 12, 2003, 06:06:17 PM »

I suppose what it really boils down to is the game developer. You may get a game develpoer that can make lots and lots of games but all of which are bad, and then you'll get someone like Factor 5 who may only make one game but they put there all into it. Of course having support from the game company like Factor 5 had from Nintendo doesn't go a stray.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #37 on:** December 13, 2003, 12:15:19 AM »

How a game looks is mostly down to the developer. I have heard that some poor ports actually run better on PS2 than on GC!

"True crime is a great game"

I am a hugh fan of the GTA series, everyone here knows that. With that being said, TRUE CRIME IS F"ING BRUTAL.
It is nothing more than a half assed GTA style clone, with horrific load times, the worst draw distance I have ever seen (I love it when a stop sign pops up when I am inches away only), and slow downs that are so bad that the game becomes virtually unplayable, and please dont even get me started on the f'in zombies.

If you like this game as much as you say then you truly are an idiot.
And before you ask, yes I have played it on both the cube and the x-box, because I was curious to see if the cube just got a crappy port, and nope, they both suck.

ghostVi · « **Reply #39 on:** December 13, 2003, 08:10:45 AM »

K then, I'm not the one to show you (teckmoney) the M titles you should get on the cube, since this is hardly in my preferences, but I MUST ask this question - did you have a chance to give Eternal Darkness a try? If not - you have lots of blood, flesh and bones ahead, delivered by some of the greatest story-tellers out there (Silicon Knights)

(Wow, only two words corrected by the spell checker, I'm getting better hehe)

that has alot to do with the GC using mini-dvd discs, although the texture compression the GC utilizes helps, so yea but it's not simply the GC machine it's also due to the format used for the discs. however, that all means Nintendo was smart in the design of the cube

"Gamecube loads games faster than xbox"

Xbox has more content, high resolution textures, higher polygon models...

Hostile Creation "And never trust someone with monkey in their name. . . unless infernal is in it, too. Nevermind. "

It's Teckmoney...learn to read...could be the reason why your vision is skewed.

thecubedcanuck -- True Crime is entertaining. Sure the load times get annoying but its a fun game and the cut scenes are funny as hell. I'm sorry, but i didnt like GTA...hate to disappoint you all.

Huh? Where?

mario mario · « **Reply #43 on:** December 14, 2003, 08:48:07 PM »

In my eyes the x-box is just a downgraded version of a pc. If I ever want a game that's on the x-box then i'll just get it on my pc. Besides it might be true that x-box can pull more pollygons and higher resolutions but graphics isn't everything. It's the gameplay that's everything!!!

And that's why I own a Gamecube

Very nice link KDR, although the author seemed to be me more versed in the technical specifications of the PS2 than the GC and X-box. At least the author gave an unbiased report on all three consoles. Its nice to see real journalism these days LOL In all honestly I thought MS would do poorly this generation and better the next, but with all changes in the X-box Next architecture they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot.

Actually, no it's not- just because there's an ATI sticker on the casing and the processor is similar to the PowerPC structure doesn't make it a Mac.

Damn, you're right. I feel so stupid for having mistook the absence of one letter, completely ignore the fact that I had "nevermind" at the end. Oh jeez, I feel like such a kiddy stupid illiterate moron. I think I'll go slit my wrists and join the Xbox zombies now and play True Crime because it's got a better framerate or something. Bye guys, I'm cool now.
