>>344957934
But the gamecube was a gimmic console. The form factor, the handle, and the 4 slots meant it was designed as a party system. The initial goal of the system was for you to play melee or air ride or double dash in your garage or dorm lounge with fold up chairs and beers.

Where did I say I didn't enjoy that? Gimmicks aren't bad. I also enjoyed the other gimmicks like the motion controls and the touch screen.
>>344958767
The gimmick is that it injects autism into your hands, slowly reshaping them so that they automatically reject any other controller, rewiring your brain so that you're attracted to animals, permanently loosening your bowels, and giving you a crippling addiction to Melee
>>344958653
Run over one more time how having 4 controller ports and playing games with friends is gimmicky. Not to mention some of the best games on the console are single player.

>>344959064
Gimmicky doesn't mean bad despite pc mustards using it as an insult on /v/.
It's not just the 4 controller ports, which is gimmicky compared to other systems at the time and earlier which required multitaps for that and had VERY FEW games which used them, but also the system being designed for portability, e.g. to bring to a party.

You know Resident Evil 4 was solely developed as a Gamecube exclusive to the point that Mikami said he would decapitate himself if it ever got ported to PS2.
PS2 version was quickly shitted out to prevent Capcom from earning a loss in that quarter.
F-Zero GX is the Devil May Cry of racing games.And that's a very good thing.
>>344961447
Anon. That dev was just being a faggot either shilling for Sony similar to BLAST PROCESSING of old or giving a shitty excuse.
The PS2 was without a doubt the weakest. Both the cube and the xbox blew it out of the fucking water.

4 ports on a console was in know way a gimmick. Lots of games also made use of four ports, mostly the console shooters of the time, such as the Turok series, many party type games, lots of arcade style racers, wrestling games, and so on.
>>344962172
Bought them the day they were released. Good times. I also have twin snakes but we don't talk about that
>>344962330
you dont know how ports are made, they dont just press a button and all the models lose detail they create new models with less polygons. they dont go through all this work to make it look worse if the console could handle it
>>344961695
no it wasn't. Ada mode and some other crap i cant recall were added to the game. which takes time. Ps2 was a weaker system.
>>344962727

But that Metal Slug comp didn't come to GC (it came to the Wii) and RE1 Master didn't come out until 2014.
>>344962931
You may he right about MS, I could have mixed that up, but RE1 was first released on gamecube...
>>344962492
So, a dead console, xbox, and 2 nintendo party consoles had 4 ports?
You're still ignoring the form factor and the sheer number of 4 player games on the gamecube.
>>344962931
http://www.gamefaqs.com/gamecube/535836-resident-evil
You are right about MS, my mistake
>>344963119
yes.
Argue all you want, 4 player games were a thing. Wasn't a gimmick, which is why it was made standard as time went on. Then Online came and ruined couch co op and such.
i also fail to see why you bring up the form of the console. Having to buy a peripheral led to a couple of situations that can happen such as:
tripping over wires
clutter
tangled cords
and of course, more money spent.
Were there a super mass volume of 4 plaer games? No, but there was more than enough.
>>344962164
PS2 version is superior it has more lighting and shadow passes
>>344964057
The only reason you don't see it as a gimmick is because you see "gimmick" as an insult.
I'll mention the DS. That was originally a gimmick but it's pretty nice.
>had nintendo exclusives

>>344957707
>star fox assault is bad

>>344964329
no i don't. I just posting reasons why it wasn't a gimmick. If you had posted the SNES multi tap or any of the light gun stuff, I would have agreed. Touch screen is still a gimmick, which is why on dedicated portables it still isn't used much.
>>344957242
Fag that worked at a video game store during that gen. PS2 was the fucking worst when it came to disc drive failures and the biggest pain in the ass to test since we had to go through dvds and cds to make sure it read all of the media.
Gamecubes usually just had sticky shit from being owned by kids but they worked fine. It was rare as hell to see a GC that didn't function, even the rougher looking ones we had to clean up.

I bought one LITTERALLY just because it could fit in my cargo shorts pocket.
>>344956919
Agreed. I've never seen a more overrated console. At least the PS2 deserves the praise it gets. The GC is hailed like a godsend but in the end it is nothing special.
Most first party exclusives are mediocre and rushed, except few exception (F-Zero GX). Third party "exclusives" have been ported on other platforms, see RE4 or Viewtiful Joe. It missed some important third party multiplats (like MGS2 which was on PS2 and Xbox) and the ones it had were nothing special compared to their superior Xbox versions.
Even the fucking Wii got more third and first party support, despite having a truckload of shovelware (like the PS2, gp figure).
Let's not forget the GC is the second worst selling home console Nintendo created, the first being the Wii U.
>>344967326
which is why i added the word 'nearly'.
>>344966483
>fill rate
Yeah sure the ps2 can do 1080i for about 2 games. But for both systems the majority of games were 480i or 480p so neither system was fill rate limited.
Now for the stat that affects the gaems.
>PS2 CPU: 0.3ghz RISC
>GCN CPU: 0.48ghz RISC
>GCN L1 Cache: 64kb
>PS2 L1 Data Cache: 8kb
>PS2 L1 Instruction Cache: 16kb
>GCN Polygons: 90 million/s
>PS2 Polygons: 75 million/s
So yep, the Gamecube blew the PS2 out of the water on cpu bound problems (over 50% faster cpu and over 100% more l1 cache) and could draw considerably more polygons.
>>344967664
on the contrary it's hard to find a multi plat that's better on Gamecube except RE4 and Sonic Heroes
>>344967379
i was able to do the same thing. I though that was neat.
>>344967685
Are you actually trying to compare two completely different CPU architectures by clock speed?
Way to discredit yourself immediately.
>>344967791
>two completely different CPU architectures
Anon I'm not comparing ARM versus x86. They're both risc you idiot.
>>344967947
Oh and to add, risc architectures are more comparable by their nature.
Oh and it looks like the pipeline of the gamecube is shorter, so branch misses hurt less.
>>344967947
>They're both risc you idiot.
RISC isn't an architecture moron. It's a type of CPU design.
You're comparing a MIPS vs PowerPC. And not just any MIPS. You're comparing the Emotion Engine which contains a MIPS CPU AND two vector units against the little lone PowerPC inside the Gamecube.
>>344956919
>Double Dash
>Paper Mario
>Eternal Darkness
>RE4
>Fucking Wind Waker
>Prime series
Tbh Melee carries this console, but rightfully so.
>>344966254
Because you can just buy the game on the eshop for 10 dollars :)
>>344968185
Do you know what risc means?
Also protip just because things are the same architecture doesn't mean clock speed is a good comparison, .t comparisons of cisc cpus such as amd's x86 vs. intel's x86.
But in this case it does because they're risc. If it were cisc, not so. Them being risc means an emphasis on minimal cycles per instruction, so cycles per second has a far, far greater correlation to performance.
And the pipeline of the gamecube is still shorter. And the L1 cache is still way way larger.
>2 dedicated math units with each separate data and instruction caches
>that each had 9 multiplication registers and 1 division register
>running at 1/2 clock speed
That's so goddamn over-engineered.
>>344969127
You can't buy and play 3DS games on Wii U.
>GameCube thread turns into a ps2 thread
Everytime. But I do kinda of agree with OP, the GameCube was pretty disappionting and could have been a lot better

>>344969457
Hey, the console was in last for a reason. Doesn't mean the library was shit. Pretty much all of the GC's exclusives are great games, if not well made/polished.

It also had the best Paper Mario game ever in TTYD.
