Splinter Cell 1, 2 and 3
They were made by a different team, came an year after the original release and were downright worse. The areas were split in multiple micro-areas, adding a whole bunch of extra loadings. The first game was ported by Ubisoft Shangai, which also made the second one on all platforms, while Montreal was making Chaos Theory.

Nah.
There's a lot of games that were only on PS2 and Wii with the main difference being motion controls on the Wii.
Some other games are lower resolution on PS2 than Xbox but feature more advanced lighting effects on PS2 such as some of the Need For Speed games.

>> No.7272367

I mean, everyone loves the PS2 extras, even myself when I bought it again back in the day. But the experience was compromised and let's not pretend it wasn't. It ran so much better on GCN that you may as well use that as the primary after the novelty of the Ada missions wear off.

This also doesn't matter in present day. You can get the best of everything in the PC version so this is a dead fight.

Nah, I think the GCN sucked as a console overall and I got way more mileage from my PS2 tenfold, especially from burning import games. It's just A) This is moot since the downfalls of both are addressed in future ports so why care and B) The downgrade is way too apparent when you do them back to back. Though to be fair, most didn't so it doesn't matter except for those who want to compare them, which is expected in a comparison thread.

>Typewriter: Costs 1 million, giant item

>Lightning Gun: get it for free just for completing the game, takes the gameplay out if the game, makes all the above utterly pointless for no work
It was a "please buy this worse version" throw-in that should have been removed or rework in the actual good versions that came after. It just degrades the existing content on its own.

There was already an Ada mode and they decided to do it again for some reason. With disgusting low quality FMV cutscenes that no future version could fix.

I know it's hard for you to understand since you weren't alive when this game came out, but in 2005, this was easily one of the best looking games ever made and the graphics were the main selling point. the PS2 version came along and ruined the controls, added input lag, removed small game segments, removed dynamic lighting, made many 3D objects into 2D objects, removed small touches like flickering candles, lowered the framerate, made the textures even worse, compressed the cutscenes, and then wrapped it all up with 2 new weapons and outfits that are nothing more than joke items you get at the end of the game -- oh yeah, and a minigame. whoopdy doo.

for some reason they keep using assets from the PS2 and PC versions every time they port the game. for example, i still dont understand why they use the retarded 3D models of items on the inventory screen in modern versions, instead of the smooth filtered 2D sprites of the Gamecube version which looked so much better. just look how bad this looks compared to RE4 on GC, and it still fucking looks this way.

Anyone think of playing Petz: Cats 2, or Star Wars Super Bombad Racing? How about Animal Soccer World? Shovelware indeed.

The Gamecube wasn't a big hit and lived in the shadow of the PS2. Remember that the Gamecube was competing against what is now the best-selling game system of all time though, so it's not so much that the Gamecube was some embarrassing flop--it was just snuffed out by the PS2s insane success. Losing to Sony and then having to compete with MS too was really a good lesson, it planted the seed for Nintendo to break away from their immediate competitors, which was great for them in the end.

nah fuck that, ps2 version is better. gamecube does technically run at 60 fps (in battle only) but the thing would constantly drop frames like a motherfucker - you cast genis spells like tidal wave and the game runs at 10 fps.
ps2 version has so much more content that it makes the gamecube version look like a beta (characters like regal just don't have unison attacks in the gcn version for example) and it also isn't so fucking blurry all the time.

I have a lot of nostalgia for the gamecube version but outside of the tech/spell cancel glitches ps2 version was definitely better, because it came out like a year after the fact so they could revamp it

gonna skip all the "muh graphics" and talk about the real reason why RE4 on gamecube sucks - they made it way easier. knife does way more damage, ammo drops more, less enemies on screen because the ps2 couldn't handle it, and easy mode + overpowered weapons like the laser. only thing that makes the ps2 version harder is that the graphics are so washed out you can get ambushed by the invisible bugs more easily.

best version is probably the wii version once you plug in a real controller instead of messing with waggle, which is not an advertised feature, since it has the ps2 version content while having better (but not """hd""" that looks ugly) visuals than the ps2
