Since this is a topic that comes up every now and then, I went ahead to look through my old magazines. So here is which multiplatform games were not coming to the GC, based on a release list from E3 2003. This is still rather early in the GC's lifecycle (less than two years old at this point). Games that were irrelevant for Europe were excluded from their list (i.e. college sports titles), it's a German magazine. 1. Alias Multiplatform games that skipped the Xbox: 1. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai That is for E3 2003. It's perfectly possible that some of the above games were ported to additional platforms, but it's just as possible that games that were announced for all three got cancelled for the GC somewhere down the line. Unfortunately, there is no such list for E3 2004, but the general release lists for PS2/Xbox/GC around that time show a ratio of about 2.5:2:1. The lack of PS2 games is easily explained by many Japanese games simply not making it to Europe. Around the same time in 2005, the ratio is about 4.5:3:1. It's not that the overall number of upcoming releases increased, rather the GC share decreased. |
yes, yes that makes sense. I think i do a list of MP games that did go to GC its entire life, but i guess the point is that GC kinda got left out in the cold toward the end. Hell i havent even heard of half those games.
