New Game........PS2 or GameCube?

*Dr. Doom* · 08-27-2003, 09:19 AM

I'm debating whether to get this for GC or PS2.........On one hand, I'm not a huge fan of the GC's controller layout. PS2 has the classic style. On the other hand, Gamecube has slightly better graphics, and if I get a GBA, there's that connection If it was a 4 player game, that'd clinch it immediately, but it isn't, so I'm stumped. What are your opinions? Any suggestions?

Ive only got a PS2 but I agree, the Game Cube has better graphics.

*cqb101* · 08-27-2003, 10:02 AM

I'm getting it for the gamecube just cause of the GBA hook up and the better graphics. But if you don't like the controller layout, I wouldn't get it for GC.

I own a good PC, PS2 and GC. PC version has of course better graphics, but I generally don't play console games on PC,[Few exceptions, tough] I wan't to play them with big TV and Stereo sytem. I happen to like GC controller better, and it has better graphics/framerate and faster loading times so for me it will be the GC version.

But if you prefer PS2 controller, you should bronanly get that version. The games will probably be almost identical.

If it's got some neat GBA connectivity, such as linking special features with the GBA game, I'd go with the GC version.

See, here's the cool thing:

You can buy an adapter that lets you use the PS2 controller on the gamecube. It's true, it's true!

So, I'd go that route. You get the controller you like, the better graphics and the connectivity to the GBA game.

Ca you get an adapter so you can use a GC controller on the PS2? Cuz, I really prefer the GC controller.

*Raven* · 08-27-2003, 11:54 AM

I have to get it on the ps2 because thats all I have

I think there are that kind of adapters to. Problem is that the controlls have been customized for the GC controller. If the game doesn't let you change the controlls, then it might be hard.

My little brother has GBA, so if the connectivity is something good, I should get the cable.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy, so uh.. Gamecube. *nods*. Faster loading speed, better graphics, and in my mind a better controller (it fits in your hands better... and the only button I don't like on there is the 'Z' button). Add in the GBA hook up, what ever thats gonna be, and you just get more out of it.

About the graphics... Gamecube's graphics card was designed for cel-shading, so over all the cel-shading is going to look better.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 08-27-2003, 01:30 PM

Get it for PS2 cause GC blows.

Funniest and stupidest thing I've heard all day.

**Karpo_007** · 08-27-2003, 02:21 PM

Indeed.

*Raven* · 08-27-2003, 02:23 PM

but its so true.

*runs like a little school girl from crowds of GC lovers*

**Karpo_007** · 08-27-2003, 02:29 PM

And now it's spreading to...

*Dane E5R* · 08-27-2003, 02:34 PM

GameCube crushes the PS2..Sorry. So there's my vote.

**Karpo_007** · 08-27-2003, 02:44 PM

I own both, and If I had to choose the better of them it would be GC. But that doesn't mean PS2 is bad. For a RPGamer like myself it's simply a must.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-27-2003, 02:46 PM

Gamecube technically is superior hardware to PS2. Just as X-Box is technically superior hardware to Gamecube. When you're debating about systems, there's no point. Nobody's gonna by a really powerful system if all the games on it suck. And nobody's gonna not buy one because they don't like the controller. It's all about what games a system has, that's why I have a PS2 and a GC (and wanna get a GBA). X-Box never really interested me THAT much in the gaming department. And that controller I hate even more than the GC one. The button layout is ok, but the shape is so akward, it doesn't fit in your hand right. But anyway, I digress. This situation throws that rule I live by upside down and kicks it in the ass, cause now I'm actually comparing the hardware as opposed to the software. As it stands right now, I'll probably get the GC version after listening to my own advice. Screw the controller. I got usta playing Smash Bros., Metroid, and Zelda with it, I can get usta playing a beat-em up that's probably a lot easier to control.........

**Karpo_007** · 08-27-2003, 02:51 PM

Exactly. It's the games that determine how good a console is. And since I have been Mario/Zelda fan from day 1, my vote goes to GC.

*Raven* · 08-27-2003, 02:51 PM

the only resons I think the ps2 is better is because it has the games I like, that was the reason why I bought it.
I dont like xbox because its a bill gates thing and hes the devil

um ya.
I still think the gamecube is ok, cant say much for it, because I dont own it, but I love dthe n64, so I guess the cube is also ok.
