How can a game work better on another console?  The only thing that differs really is controls.  I mean, the Gamecube graphics of RE4 could be done on the PS2...Ps2 may be the oldest system...but it still hangs with the other two.  It is not obselete and it is still very powerful.  OH and btw..Fable is overrated.  Its not as insanly customizable as you think.  And it gets old running through paths slashing through monsters.  Plus it is pretty damn short.

Since RE4 is developed FOR the cube FIRST, BUT will be ported to the PS2, it's safe to say it will be optimized for the cube, rather than the PS2. I'm not saying the PS2 graphics are weak, they are harder to optimize than the cube's or Xboxes. I doubt the graphics of RE4 will be better or even equal on the PS2 versus the cube, but the game is not even out yet, so let's just wait shall we? You want some examples?

A writer at Gamespot writes this about Prince of Persia 2:

QUOTE(Bob Colayco @ GameSpot)
Meanwhile, the PlayStation 2 version's flaws are graphical. As a result, the game has a slightly choppier frame rate than the other versions.


Another writer at Gamespot writes this about Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.

QUOTE(Brad Shoemaker @ GameSpot)
Alas, the PS2 version of Metal Arms really brings up the rear, since it lacks even much of the basic lighting that makes the other two versions look good, and it suffers from serious frame rate problems during intense battles.


Yet another writer at Gamespot writes this about Rogue Ops:

QUOTE(Brad Shoemaker @ GameSpot)
GameCube version takes a noticeable hit to the frame rate but is actually not too far behind the Xbox in image quality. The PS2 brings up the rear, as it's more aliased (read: jaggy) than the other two, and the frame rate can be a little jerky at times.


PS2 =P

So? There are games that look better on ps2 than other consoles. Burnout three looks better on PS2. MGS seriers looks better on ps2 (Twin Snakes looks gay). Just because a game is origionally made on one system doesn't mean it will suck for another. Back to MGS...built on playstation...works fine on Gamecube. And just because it was built on the gamecube has nothing to do with what I said. So what if RE4 is made for GC...its bs that they have it in the first place. Gamecube has nintendo characters...xbox has awesome games like Fable and Halo....can't you leave us our Metal Gear and Resident Evil T.T ? And the game could be ported and still be good. If they take their time on it, then it could even look as good as it does on Gamecube. From what I saw of the game...it's not too revolutionary in the graphics department.

Just to remind you that "consoles" were created to have a playable system in your house, to give entertainement to the owner; not pay XX more bucks to play online to games you could play on your PC.

And Gamecube does have online possibilities... They just are more focusing on the home-experience as for now (which is totally fine).

whatever you do, don't get an x-box. Halo is amazingly over-rated. Controller is the worst of the three. Only games i see as worth playing: Ninja gaiden, KOTOR 1 and 2, and that new DOA fighter. Those are the only games that come to mind i would even consider playing.

BUT,  find PS2 to break easily. It could break if you held it up and dropped it. You could drop x-box and GCN from a one story building and they would still work. If you hit x-box and GCN with sledgehammer, x-box breaks but a little ductape and GCN good to go! Nintendo always has durable products. tongue.gif

Unless YOU are going to buy 3 of the same game and play it on 3 different consoles and then tell me which version is better by every single detail, I won't believe you.

Your MGS point makes NO sense. How the hell can you compare a PS1 game to a version redone for a next generation system? I mean... OBVIOUSLY it's gonna look better, cmon.

You got to be kidding me when you say "can't you leave us our Metal Gear and Resident Evil T.T ?". You have your... FINAL FACKING FANTASY, then your GRAND FACKING THEFT AUTO to your OMFG GRAN FACKING TURISMO and also your SOCOM so please STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LACK OF PS2 FRANCHISES!

I'm not saying that making a PS2 version equal to the Gamecube version is impossible, it will take a lot of work since the PS2 is the hardest system to develop for compared to the Xbox or the cube. That is why I predict the PS2 won't be as optimized for the PS2 since it was originally a cube game.

I already gave you 3 valid points, but still you stubbornly persist. Look at Viewtiful Joe and you will see that the game it was made for "cube" is better than the port which is the PS2.

Even more recent is Viewtiful Joe 2. The version on the PS2 is inferior compared to the cubes. If you don't believe me, go to www.gamespot.com

RE4 is coming out on the 11th and I'll be sure to get it then. When the PS2 version comes out, get yours. Let's see who gets the last laugh. =)

Thats bs. When the next gen consoles came out they were going for a gaming system capable of graphics of computer quality. Multiplayer just makes games live longer...so why not make an internet service?

I'm not an employee of a game magazine and its not my job to see difference in games on different consoles. All I said is that some games have looked better on ps2 than xbox. Jeez.

I wasn't talking about ps1 comptared to Gamecube. I was comparing MGS2,3 graphics on the ps2 to MGS1 graphics on the Gamecube. It was from a different company and it looks goofy.

Gamecube has just as many awesome franchises. Why did they have to take our ps2 exclusives?

Stupid, why they coming out with an xbox2 when they just recently released halo2?!?

They've got to wait like at least one or two more years before releasing xbox2. It's just like Blizzard releasing Starcraft Ghost then couple months later they pop out sc2. They have to wait for their most recent release to sort of "die" out before releasing another huge release.

The mods changed it now i think.

Ps2 sux because i think many of their games have bad graphics, gamecube is ok but too bad they dont have as many features as those of xbox or ps2. Xbox i think is the best because of their great games, like halo and halo2. It's really because of halo which xbox is so popular now.
