You do realise the PS2 has vector unit coprocessors and SIMD, right? You didn't seriously just look at the CPU mhz and think that was the whole picture?

Absolutely none of those are relevant to making cars drive. Would a Gamecube version have had worse graphics? Possibly, but I think the series underperforming on Gamecube is a likelier reason for the lack of a third game, especially given how technologically similar 2 and 3 are.

The Gamecubes one core CPU may be faster than the MIPs Core of the PS2's Emotion engine, but the MIPs architecture has advantages over the PowerPC architecture in cycle efficency and the Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU package) has 2 other co CPUs in it called VPU's which can are extremely capable themselves. This is what gives the PS2 power to do so many effects on screen.

Is that a good thing though? Nintendo found great success with the nes not because the console was powerful, but due to its price. And maybe for that very reason the n64 and the gc didn’t fare as well as the psx.

The reason it wasn't released on GC was because the disc capacity was too small.

I second this, as that's why a lot of third-party devs went straight to PS2. Hell, a lot of them didn't even bother porting their shit to XBOX.

It's corroborating evidence given the account made a post that doesn't describe Richard Parr's industry past and referring to him in third person in another post. Not sure why low IQ retards always hyperfocus on the location being different on top of that.

>>10858049
It's Criterion themselves saying it's too small. Others have even experimented by ripping all the music files out only to find the game data is still over a gigabyte too big for a GC disc. It wouldn't lend well to being split over two discs.

I guess racing games WOULD be more challenging to split into two discs than RE4.

I get the proprietary mini-discs, but the c-stick should've been the same size as the normal movement stick, they didn't have to make it a weird midget just to make the controller more distinct or something. It feels like shit in a twin-stick shooter control scheme.
