Why have i seen so much historical revisionism these last few years where people seem to have gotten the idea that the gamecube was a vastly superior console to the ps2?

Gamecube had some of the best games of all time that have aged beautifully like
- Mario Sunshine
- Melee
- Prime 1/2
- Twilight Princess
- Windwaker
- Luigi's Mansion
etc.
PS2 had way more games but the highs weren't as high

Gamecube was superior if you were an actual gamer and not a "ball & gun gamer".

gamecube is like subscribing to disney plus and watching capeshit where every movie stars iron man, thor and darth vader. and then a new movie comes out and you're like holy shit there's a new iron man movie. ps2 is like having access to a private tracker where you can download and play whatever the fuck you want.

now THIS is revisionist history. it had the nis games like disgaea and phantom brave, the .hack bamco games, weeb cash ins from series like full metal alchemist and inu yasha. you had persona, you had final fantasy, you had dragon quest, it was weeb heaven.

>>732235690
It depends on what your criteria is. PS2 had a far better library, but as a console itself, the Gamecube was generally far and way superior. The only revisionism is people treating the Gamecube versions of games as the definitive way to play, when 8/10 times that distinction went to the Xbox, with the only outliers generally cases where the devs themselves admit they just weren't very familiar with the Xbox and did a hackjob (e.g. Sonic Heroes, MGS2).

>>732235913
Negativity bias. Even though PS2 has a huge catalogue of great games, the bad tends to be what people remember because the pool is diluted. GC is kinda like a greatest hits band. A good chunk of it is exceptionally mediocre, but because of its slam dunk titles, it's remembered more fondly.

basically every PS2 SMT game is stellar, with the sole exception being Raidou 1. Then there's the more niche stuff like Radiata Stories, .hack, Rogue Galaxy, Phantasy Star Universe, Disgaea 1 and 2, the Atelier games, Mana Khemia and so on.

tendies itt are really talking about paper mario and tales of symphonia as if the ps2 doesn't have a jrpg library that swallows those two games and then shits them out a hundred times over
they call themselves "real gamers" yet they all like the same four infantile games... when will they stop the self humiliation?
>>
>>
I honestly didn't really enjoy the libraries of either, I liked the Xbox more. I really liked the ugly cartoon aesthetics of a few of the launch titles and generally liked the multiplats more on the system. The dashboard was nice too, so was having an HDD that I could save my music to. Playing my own music over Tournament Paintball and THPS3 was great. I know the controller wasn't great but I liked it at the time, moreso than the PlayStation or Gamecube controllers. Xbox Live was also nice to have, even if my internet plan wasn't the best at the time.

Because I think you're just pushing some weird narrative to meme around.
It's also weird to put the RE4, a literal NGC exclusive, on the PS2's side.
Sony only got a shoddy port almost a year after the original release, practically months before PS3 dropped.
Could've at least used something like MGS2 or SH2.
>>732236012
None of those are anywhere near "the best games of all time". Some of it, like the Twilight Princess, are literally the WORST the franchises have to offer.
No, I am not joking. I have owned the GC since 2003, and PS2 since 2002.
Meanwhile, PS2 got:
>FFX
>SH2-4
>MGS2-3
>Fatal Frame 1-3
>Ico
>SotC
>DMC1-3
>GTA3, VC, SA
>Jak 1-3
>R&C 1-3
>Persona 3-4
>Yakuza 1-2
...and a plethora of multiplats + backwards compatibility to the PS1 library.

To me it's really funny because there's RE4/GC fans here that get really touchy about miniscule details in the American GC version of the game that aren't present in any other version, even the PAL and JP version.

I always thought GTA3 and VC didn't come to Gamecube because it only had 1.5gb discs. But I saw recently that both games came in at under 1.5gb in their original versions. So why didn't they come out on Gamecube?
>>
>>
>>
>>732237735
The Gamecube had like 10 games and everyone had the same few titles. So there's a shared nostalgia about the same handful of Gamecube games whereas most PS2 players played vastly different games because it had so many options.

NGC has a better cpu and gpu, it can display better graphics than the PS2, often at 60fps too, it would completely surpass ps2, sadly nintendo made the retarded descission of using mini-dvds wich made 3rd party games being cut in content, audio, and texture details.
>>
>>732239884
imo there's not that big a difference between average ps2 and gc games. xbox has the most noticeable differences but ps2 and gc usually trade blows. They run at the same res and gc has some drawbacks like fewer buttons which hurts games like ssx, and ps2 could do way better particle/custom effects.
>>
>>732235690
they were both good
the most notable difference is ps2 could play DVDs and had IIRC a significantly larger library.
I don't recall if gamecube had online functionality, I assume it didn't really, but PS2 did IIRC, for whatever that's worth.
>>
>>
>>
>>732235690
It was though? Wait are we talking technical superiority or the games. Because the Gamecube was actually more powerful, see the PS2 port of RE4. If it's the latter it's all subjective. I can name dozens of games I like on both consoles.
>>

>>732240834
Because it's the last generation with an actual interesting comparison. PS4 VS Xbone? Every important game is on both. It's just a matter of what you've already bought into in the past deciding what you get next.

There have been, and always will be, bad video games. What I am referring to is the industry practices of the time. The PS3/360 era introduced some of the worst (((innovations))) that we know today. Cut content from the main game to be sold as DLC, games as a service, the idea of not owning a game, monthly subscription fees, always online, all of this started in that era.

>>732235690
Personally it's a choice between aesthetics,library,and taste. The Gamecube just looked better than the PS2 as far as controller and the shape of the console goes. Even the startup was slightly better than the PS2 but way behind the PS1's intro. The PS2 had a larger library and more variety while the Gamecube was smaller but the multiplats it had were usually the best games on the PS2 so you could still enjoy alot of the popular games of that time. And if you just find Nintendo games more charming that'll factor in. The PS2 was better but I think the Gamecube was underrated and is just remembered more fondly because of Animal Crossing and the Mario Party games.

The hardware is technically slightly stronger but nintendo never nurtured enough third party devs to push the technology further towards the end of the generation. There are late end ps2 games that look better than anything on gc, because you had healthier competition on the ps2 and dozens of studios trying to squeeze every last drop of performance out of it.

Because it was vastly superior to the PS2. It and the OG Xbox were the only 60fps consoles in that generation.
The problem is that it wasn't a fucking DVD player and Kojima was the only one who, like the PS1, could actually make something that looks good on the PS2.
>>
>>
>>732235690
Because you're viewing all conversations that end in a loss for the playstation "side" as this revisionism, when in reality 90% of GC vs. PS2 threads are PS2 fans seething that they aren't literally the only console people talk about from that gen. No matter how shitty you think the gamecube was in comparison, it doesn't deserve complete obscurity, so the fags behind the playstation side of the argument lose anyway.
>>

I just miss the days when console wars actually had some validity to them. When different systems actually had different hardware and architecture that meant they had actual strengths and weaknesses, could do different things, and games were made for particular platforms in ways that couldn't be fully translated to others. All this meant that when you got a particular console, it had a particular feel. They had exclusives and differences between libraries.
Now everything is the same. PS5 is just a prebuilt. Xbox is a prebuilt for people who want to rent games. There's no point to anything besides a PC. It's boring.

It's more so the fact that the gamecube sold a tiny fraction what the PS2 did. Most people back then did not have a gamecube, and it was also heavily stigmatized at the time. Back then, you did not tell people you owned a gamecube. If you did you got picked on for having the kiddy purple lunchbox. It's dumb but that's just how teenagers acted. So a lot of people only "discovered" gamecube's library after the fact, either through wii backwards compatibility, emulation, general word of mouth, let's plays, whatever else.
I think this leads to people elevating GC in their minds, like it was some sort of secret that was hidden away that they rediscovered later. PS2 was just the standard that everyone knew. Gamecube was "different". Even though objectively PS2 was the superior system all around.

Luigi's mansion is the closest we got to a great ghostbusters game until that one that came out on the 360 and the original Luigi's Mansion, as much as people bitch and moan about it being "A tech demo" is good and fun video game. Sunshine is the more egregious pick since 64 is the best platformer of all time, don't even come at me with that faggot crash bandicoot, Spyro 2 is great though, I will concede that

As for the rest of you post. This is the problem with the nintendo bubble. You're desperate to bait an argument over platformers. Do you not recognize how many games are really out there? Did it cross your mind that there are people who don't have an interest in crash or spyro either?

>>732249795
>You're desperate to bait an argument over platformers
It’s the classic N64 argument. It had the best 3D platformers of the generation so they try to subtly insinuate its a superior genre to other types of games. This of course ignores that the PS1 had respectable 3D platformers and actually had 2D platformers to speak of.

the fact that normies might have been using it as a dvd player is irellevent to the quality of the best games it had to offer my big lipped spear chucking friend.
If the gamecube had gone with DVD's instead of tiny ones and it TOO could be used as a DVD player would that take away at all from the games you enjoy on it? The games you think are amazing? Would it have ANY effect on the quality of those games? Of course not. Its such a retarded non sequitor that I can't believe I even had to type this out. Popularity does not correlate with quality.

They were good on both ends of the spectrum too. You had great arcade sports games like NFL Blitz and the EA Sports Big label, and then on the opposite end you had really robust simulators out of Sega's ESPN games.
Then they started really controlling the licenses and it all went to shit.
>>
>>732252958
Switch 2 is very new and was barely months old at that point. Obviously most people who want the switch 2 would focus on exclusives first. Maybe its also the fact that the marketing push wasn't as big as it should've been since most people were still playing donkey kong at that point.

>Why have i seen so much historical revisionism these last few years where people seem to have gotten the idea that the gamecube was a vastly superior console to the ps2?
Because only autists, trannies and tendies (repeating words) care about revising the world to their worldview and caring about a controller with an inferior layout and dogshit assymetry
If you look into it all these groups care about rewriting history
>trannies psyop people into thinking tendie games are the only real games much like how they trick people into thinking they are a woman
Tendies keep talking about the same 5 games everyone already has heard because they were poorfags growing up. Even disregarding this, their autistic tastes make them aversive to any sort of variety (hence tendie worship). The normiefag console was the PS2, a gaming console masquerading as a DVD player, and is why there is much more game variety.
This is why you don't hear much sentimentality from PS2 fans: they mainly care about the games rather than superficial details.

>make a thread where you ask people their favorite gamecube games and these are the games you're gonna see over and over. make a thread about peoples favorite ps2 games and you're gonna learn about great games you've never even heard about before.
This. Every time PS2 games are brought up I hear some shit I never heard of. Game variety is at least 10 fold on a PS2.
>inb4 "you're a snoy fan"
You mean being a fan of peak civilizational creation (PS2) and pinnacle of white connoisseur gaming? Poorfags and richfags, negro or white, all enjoyed the kino produced on the system either way. Even the PS3 is in hindsight better than the Xbone 360

oh yes ALL of us are hyping it up. Fucking bitch. Also Virtual boy coming back is legitimately cool. especially with unreleased games coming out for it. But also that's IN COMBINATION of NEW entries for NS2 faggot.
Also lmao really? making sequels is just remakes to you? what a faggot. Mario Kart world is complete difference from other Mario Kart games. Also DKB adds in destruction mechanics so its not the fucking same like DK64

A few observations I have:
>the peak years for both systems were 2001-2005. Both hit their peaks almost immediately after releasing
>both systems shared a lot of highly rated games. Many of the multiplats were better on Gamecube unless they had a wonky issue with the controller (I know in SSX Tricky for example that tricks were removed from the Gamecube version due to a missing grab button)
>The PS2 had an exceptionally long tail compared to...basically any other system that has ever been made.
>Capcom published both of the games that rated over a 9.0. RE4 on the Gamecube and Okami on the PS2 are the only games using Mobygames' aggregate to do that
>The PS2 benefited *a lot* from Rockstar publishing their games on it and not the Gamecube.
>They also benefited from quick turnaround on sequels (I have never understood Nintendo's reluctance to put more than one 3D Mario game out per system)
Overall I'd say the Gamecube library is very competitive even if its ultimately outclassed just by scale alone. I think it stands up better to the PS2 than the N64 does to the PS1 imo.

they still revived Metroid in general by making dread and personally I prefer 2D metroid anyways. I can concede that Nintendo is not perfect at making revivals all the time but I feel like it's between them and sega who actually give a shit about moving legacy IPs forward.

>gamecube was a vastly superior console to the ps2?
Even the Dreamcast was superior to the PS2 but they didn't have the user base to make the hardware upper hand count in sales, you may have noticed starting with the Wii they just started using underpowered hadware compared to either Microsoft or snoy, probably the reason that the Wii U flop wasn't enough to knock them out of the console market.
>>
>>
>>732236435
It’s really shocking looking back at how the PS1/PS2 were exponentially more successful than the N64/GameCube. With how much people talk about the games on the latter 2 consoles you’d imagine them to have sold way more
>>
>>732256038
are you a fucking nigger? do those indie have a sexy space lady? Also, no indie metroidvanias are not the same since Metroid dread still focused on raw gameplay. Also the story is better since a lot of indies just try to make depression sims. Also the raw gameplay is better too. See I actually play games and I've played metroid dread so I know. Axiom verge is ok I guess but it's not the same. Also fuck you I can love indie metroidvanias too alongside metroid since most of them are on the switch anyways. I can actually enjoy two cakes. Also I like that dread at least isn't more pixelshit

Ignore the nerds in this thread listing their favorite obscure PS2 games like Ico as titles that made people buy it. The average normie genuinely just played GTA. The PS5 right now is probably only selling in anticipation for GTA 6 too. This is all that the typical casual player cares about and the PS2 had plenty of GTA games, sports games and miscellaneous titles to keep them happy in their 3rd world country

It's because the Gamecube library and fanbase is concentrated enough that you can lump it all into a single discussion.
Even here you can sometimes see Gamecube threads. When's the last time you saw an actual Luigi's Mansion thread? Or a thread exclusively about Super Mario Sunshine?
Meanwhile the PS2 has a hell of a lot less threads as a console. But discussion about specific games vastly outnumbers the cube. MGS2 threads, SOTC threads, Silent Hill 3 threads and so on.

The only reason GameCube didn’t sell that well was the overwhelming popularity of the PS2 around the world as the standardized game console. When people in this thread call it a brown console they are not kidding. Ask any 3rd worlder at the time what video game system they could get their hands on, of course they’re going with the console that had GTA, FIFA and a DVD player instead of the console that had RE4 and Melee
>>

>>732235690
Actual answer: Almost all of the fantastic exclusive games for PS2 were ported to non-Sony hardware like PCs, so people could play them legit. The GameCube games are all firmly still in Nintendo's grips, and in a lot of cases never actually left the GameCube itself.

One anon autistically listed most of the highly rated games on both systems. There was definitely a period of time where the libraries were highly competitive and the Gamecube even had an advantage with multiplats, but it ran out of gas down the stretch while the PS2 kept truckin

No the gamecube version is the basis for all the ports. PS2 version has busted lighting and most if not all cutscenes are pre-rendered video files instead of playing in engine.
The Wii version of the game is wild because it's mostly like an enhanced version of the gamecube version, but since they added all the PS2 content into it, it means the new cutscenes for Ada are once again just video files and look noticeably worse than the rest of the game.

PS2 version has scarier and more atmospheric lighting. Gamecube has shitty balance changes never used in any other version. Not to mention you get two nice beefy analog sticks instead of controlling camera with a little wiggly nipple

>>732258118

Nope. It has by far the worse atmosphere of any release of that game. No fog, no candle light shdows, no heat waves in lava areas. Straight up bland. Did you not know PS2 was the weakest gen 6 console or something? It's the only version that had cut content and nerfed graphics.
>>
>>
>>732258160
Install base has literally never been an argument for sales. Do you think Capcom cares what percentage of the userbase bought it? No, they see that the port they almost didn't even bother with sold 50% more than the original version.
Gamecube was a disgrace and hardcore gamers did not show up to support RE4

Nah. It was simply RE4 without added lighting and sound effects. You're a retard, all of this can be proven by watching a YouTube video.
>>
>>732258318
That's the balance that all future games used. Gamecube RE4 was full of spongy enemies but huge amounts of ammo, how is that survival horror?
Also a lot of the changes were added just for the Gamecube US version, probably to reduce rentals

>>732237236
the gamecube releases were the pinnacle of console gaming. The only flaw the gamecube had, was being released against the PS2.

That's 1000+hours of quality console gaming right there at the bare minimum, also the multiplats were phenomenal too, 007 nightfire was peak, NFS:Most Wanted was my favourite of the series by a mile, and Soul Caliber 2 was the peak of the franchise aswell.

i loved the minidiscs, because at the time, the GC had the fastest loading times of any console, i was the only one of my friends who owned one, the rest owned xbox+ps2's. And the loading times were insanely fast for anything in comparison.
Some autists on here have argued this point and claim the ps2 had the fastest loading times, but not from what i experienced personally, map loading was painfully slow for any game i watched my friends play.

The NA Gamecube version specifically had a bunch of shitty balance changes only in that one specific platform and region; the JP and PAL Gamecube versions don't have these changes, neither do the PS2 versions, nor do any future ports.
The PS2 version is actually the second hardest version behind the botched NA GCN version that had the shitty balance changes. The Wii version onward (and all future ports because they use this base) massively simplified the game by increasing ammo drops, slowing enemies down, and simplifying many sections.
The NTSC GCN version just bloats the game with a ton of enemies, but gives you a shit ton of gold and resources. It just removes all tension from the game and you are just letting bullets fly like crazy with no consideration for aiming. There is a reason everyone loved the PS2 version more. The game balance and atmosphere there are just far superior. Also the game just looks way too clean and sterile in the PC HD version, it just lacks any scare factor or atmosphere. The hazy, gritty look of the PS2 version along with its intense, foreboding audio really sell the atmosphere.

You're a dumbass and have no idea what you're talking about. The PAL and JP versions don't have those changes, they were only shitty changes for US version to curb rentals, very common in that era. Who the fuck wants hordes of bullet sponge enemies while resources are handed out like candy? That isn't a fucking survival horror game.
PS2 version is second hardest, and Wii version (which is based on PS2 version but much easier) is the basis for all the ports onwards.

That's even worse, it shows they knew it was bad, which is why they changed it for PAL/JP. The balancing of the NTSC GameCube version is basically an ugly shitstain that only exists in that one region for that one console, and clearly Capcom wanted nothing to do with ever bringing that mistake back.

Thing with PS2 is that lots of the games are multiplat. Dark Alliance 2 and GTA:SA
Good stuff on both consoles tho.

So what I gather from this thread is that PS2 games ran better at higher framerates and resolutions, but GC being the cheapest of the consoles made a cult out of poor kids who had nothing better and to this day they defend it to death?

>>732260169
/v/ is full of retards.
Both consoles had strengths and weaknesses. Neither could really be argued to be clearly superior to the other. The clear winner of that gen was the xbox. PS2 and GC arguing over who was second place is just pathetic and especially so when the differences between them were so slim.
