Shackkobe said: Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony and Microsoft have all released mainstream video game consoles. From the Atari 2600 all the way up to the Xbox One, different consoles have been released, with many different hardware configurations. Some of the engineering gave rise to great consoles like the Super NES with its unique ability to have hardware upgrades built into the game cartridge itself, and others like the Playstation 3 which was so hard to develop for, developers needed at least one year to learn how to program effectively for the console. But out of all the engineering choices made, the design choices behind the Xbox 360 stand out to me as probably the best ever. The tri core CPU, GPU(with unified shaders), 512MB unified RAM, 10MB eDRAM, excellent controller, easy game development and superb online infrastructure made it an almost perfect gaming console. These design choices were so good, they influenced the development of ALL of the 8th gen consoles. So good was the design, I am led to believe that there was no need for Microsoft to have rushed the manufacturing, which led to the Xbox 360 being released only four years after the original Xbox. This rush to market caused them to incur the now legendary failure rate of the first wave of Xbox 360s. Yes, Sony messed up the ps3’s launch. But a big reason for their gigantic loss of market share was due to the fact that they had a rival console which was simply one of the best engineered consoles ever. Console sales, software library, game performance and developer praise all support this line of thinking.
Feel free to leave your thoughts below. |
Not all, there were so many stronger designed consoles for its time like the Neo Geo.

Yeah great a few wood more on the trees that justifies calling the PS2 port ass? the ps2 version has even better shadow effects on ashley. Both games pretty much look the same. The fact that the ps2 was even able to run this game and it looks almost the same and runs on the same framerate speaks more about the ps2 than the gamecube.
I remember when this game was announced for the ps2 how people and magazines were in disbelieve that this game would even run and look the same on the weaker ps2. But they were proven wrong.

You clearly didn't watch the vid fully. The comment section is also quite clear what looks the best.
The lighting, fire and smoke particles all look much worse on the PS2. The whole game also looks muddier. The character you play as also is more detailed in the GC version.

Its really not a difference both run on the same resolution and framerate, compare that to watch dogs on the wiiu and ps4 for example where the wiiu version runs on lower framerate, resolution while also having downgraded graphics.

I never said the difference between GC and PS2 was as big as between Wii U and PS4. It's obviously not.
The Wii U version of WD is a PS3/xbox360 port though, so not the best example.

You said the gamecube version looks good and the ps2 looks like ass which implies its like day and night in your opinion

It's called a hyperbole. But saying they look the same, that's denial.

Seems we didnt watch same video, It looks obviously better on Game Cube than on PS2.
