Just in reference to the visuals in RE4 PS2 vs. Gamecube

As you can see the PS2 version lacked all of the dynamic lighting and particle effects that were in the Gamcube version ... Its difficult to see in youtube videos but there was also some degrading of the ammount of geometry onscreen and the textures were (often) lower quality on the PS2 version.

The PS2 version may have had more content but was graphically inferior by quite a wide margin.

 

Not to mention it was far more satisfying to do a lot of the context sensitive cut scenes with the GC controller and reguarding the geometry and textures, they were MUCH worse on the PS2 especially if you compared the trees on GC to PS2 you could see it the best cause while GC had many branches the PS2 only had a few. It might be me and playing the GC game but the PS2 seemed easier but that may either be due to AI or just experince.

Wow. First of all, HappyRat, you are hypocrite if you are trying to say the GC version was better because the graphics were better. I see that lighting is better, but saying "wide margin" is a stretch. I'd much rather have hours of extra content than slightly better graphics.

Secondly, Maxwell Smart, the context sensitive cutscenes were more satisfying? Really? Did they change them for the PS2? Give me a break. As for the game being easier, yeah, perhaps it was the fact that YOU PLAYED THE GAME BEFORE. You may be on to something there.

Regardless, my original point is that RE4 was not exclusive to Wii. The Wii has 3 true exclusives rated 90% or higher on metacritic and during the same time the PS2 has 2 with 1 additional a month before. I'm just saying that it is very odd for the leading system to have those stats.

Maxwell, you can continue to ignore my valid points that many think Okami looked better on PS2 than the Wii if you want. Even Onimusha, who I'm pretty sure hates my guts, agreed with me there. The controls were reportedly inconsistent, as well. If you don't believe me check the reviews. The point is that the game isn't exclusive.

Edit: and for the record, regarding SMG and MP3 vs the GC versions, I am just going by comparison videos similar to the one Happy posted above. Look at them yourself on youtube. I'm not going to rehash that topic again, because most people that own Wii's have come to terms that the graphics aren't a lot better than the GC/Xbox, and it doesn't change their enjoyment of it.

 

@ the Underlined - what's up with the name calling?  Seriously you throw around names and even call people ignorant, mind you name calling is against the rules.

And yes the context sensitive cut scenes were more satisfying because you got an ergonomic controller with a rather large button to press when you have to sprint then the doding done with the analog shoulder buttons something that was adopted all around this generation. 

As far as Okami goes, again why don't you play it so you can actually judge for yourself, for me personally I haven't had an issue, and the vibrant colors, solid framerate, widescreen, and quicker and easier brush strokes make Okami on Wii a much better game.

And it's very easy to just turn your argument around, the Wii has the highest rated exclusive game this generation, period.  See how easy that is to turn around?  Why hasn't the 360 in the extra year it's been out not have a title to top this?  Or PS3 with it's extra power, blu-ray support, and sixaxis motion controller been able to top it?  Really man just enjoy the games instead of trying to put down a system you don't like it's just silly.

I ignore your points for the simple fact that you've obviously never played the games you try to tear down, much like in the other debates, you tried to say Metroid Prime 3 doesn't look any better then Metroid Prime 2 & 1 when any half blind old lady with her glasses still being repaired at lens crafters could tell the improvements if they actually PLAYED the game instead of looking at some grainy low res you tube video most likely captured with a camera or a cell phone.  

Onimusha isn't that great of a reference just so you know. 

But it boils down to is that you blast the Wii day in and out yet you've obviously never played the very games you talk bad about, either that or you're a troll, which is worse, I don't know which is worse for you personally to either lack the knowledge of the topic you're trying to debate or just troll cause you don't like the Wii.
