Why was GameCube so much better?

>>385488527
Nah ps2 had silent hill 2 and 3 which look better and are actually scary

>>385488475
Because you were a 12 year old little shit back then who was impressed by graphics that consisted of more than 2 polygons.

>PS2 games looking better than GameCube games

>>385488873
Silent hill 2 and 3 look good though and the ps2 version of re4 is shit

>>385488527
That's not Eternal Darkness.

Because there was a higher volume of survival horror games. You throw enough darts at a dartboard you're bound to come up lucky once or twice.

GameCube games look far better, the PS2's hardware was literal garbage.

>>385489019
okay but we're talking about horror and not hardware

>>385488653
>he believes he is conversing with 24 year olds
Now if that isn't a gross overestimation. Most /v/ users aren't even old enough to have been around for the PS2 days, at most they will have played with their sibling's PS2. Most of the /v/ nu male crowd of today will have been 5-7 years old when the PS2 was hot shit.
Literally not even born when the PS1 was the big thing.
You will be discussing the FFVII remake with people who are going to pretend like they played it at release, rather than 10 years down the line (if at all).

>>385488527
Better hardware wise sure but that's it.

REmake is the best survival horror game ever made.
>Perfect pacing
>Perfect atmosphere
>Insane visuals for the time
>High replayability
>Non linear progression
>Varied locations
It's one of the few 10/10s in gaming.

no ones arguing that REmake doesn't look amazing. It holds up to this day.

But the fact is PS2 had more entries in the survival horror genre then gamecube

>>385489019
Sure, but the price you are paying for those slightly better gfx is that you are now owning a GameCube rather than a PS2 and will have to make do with shit games unless you are a huge manchild even by /v/ standards and enjoy Mario/Zelda.

>>385489405
I would but my neck is too busy occupying a noose right now.

The best looking PS2 games looked better than the best looking GC games though.

is clocktower and or haunting ground good? just got myself a ps2 for the first time and im looking for good ps2 games. already got silent hill and resident evil

ps1 was the survival horror console
ps2 is the hack n slash console
ps3 is the fps console
ps4 is the open world console

>>385490408
Clocktower 3 is my favorite survival horror game of all time. It's not for everyone though. You have virtually no weapons and have to run away the entire time. But it doesn't get any better for me.

Haunting Ground was just okay in my opinion.

>>385490578
Best selling games on ps1 through 4 are the various gran tourism is, the various GTAs and the various FinaruFantasiesu.
You are objectively wrong.

Haunting Ground is honestly one of my favorite games. The dog mechanic is implemented very well. Also there are no loading times once you load up the game, which was awesome at the time.

Clock tower 3 is more goofy then scary. Still, very fun if you are a fan of the genre. You're almost better off playing clock tower 2 on PS1. That game stresses me out so much.

They're kind of mediocre, though Clock Tower 2 is great because of Bates alone.

Fun fact, Alyssa's alternate personality's voiced by a woman in Japan. They went full Psycho for Clocktower 2.

Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground are better than the Clocktower series, which is overall pretty cheesy.

Haunting Ground has the best bad end ever.

>>385490717
I've never seen this opinion. It's obvious CT3 was a beta for HG.

>>385491030
the boobs get bigger throughout the game or something?

>want to talk about horror games on the PS2
>GCfags hijack the thread with their inferiority complex

I love me some Haunting Ground threads on /v/ when they come by.

I really hope that the creators of Haunting Ground did get greenlit of making a sequel. In my opinion, the way to go about it would be to continue from the C Ending where Fiona simply leaves the castle by obtaining the key from Debilitas and everyone still lives.

>>385496820
I'd say it's more hack n slash than horror even if it uses RE tank controls

>>385496889
playing on CRT, my dude. PAL2NTSC is shit.

>>385496820
The first Onimusha is very survival horror-like.

The ones after it are nothing other than action.

>>385489479
There was a hole here. It's still here.

>>385496889
Software wasn't made to be run on different platforms, emulators are unnatural and degenerate, and the work of the devil.

>>385495715

Shadow Tower 1 and 2 as well.

>>385495715
I got stuck at this game and got lazy to come back to it

>>385496443
>gem

That game is utter shit. I know some people see it as a bit of novelty but being novel doesn't make it good. The gameplay is terrible, the graphics are terrible, the audio is terrible, the story is terrible, it's just a shit game.

>>385489492
>muh mature games for mature gamers

sh3 is probably one of the best looking video games made in that era and still rivals many modern releases

>>385488475

>Fatal Frame
>Haunting Ground

The only thing I can say the GC had over the PS2 was REmake and Eternal Darkness

>>385496540
Is that Otacon in the top left?

>>385495715
This game was tense as hell, I never finished it because like the other anon above me I got stuck and I had no internet to look up for a solution.
It suffered from shitty first-person controls like the kind of thing From used to make with all their games.
