It was designed to be simple, not powerful. Most developers were able to utilize if completely with little effort which is why many multiplats looked better on the Gamecube than the PS2 despite the PS2 having a higher theoretical performance.

>>387310461
That Nintendo is dead long ago anon.

>>387310828
I thought it was generally accepted that the Gamecube was more powerful. In the RE4 port the textures had to be substantially downgraded.

The truth is that the Gamecube was just a well rounded platform that emphasized ease of development over raw power. The PS2 on the other hand was a Saturn-tier clusterfuck with about 6 different processors working in tandem, but could definitely out-perform the Gamecube if carefully optimized.
Resident Evil 4 was always designed for the Gamecube first and the PS2 port was an afterthought, so it's no surprise that it suffered.

>>387312308
Oh look, it's THIS faggot again. Just watch till he starts talking about how PS2 could push 75m polygons. Time to accept that GCN was a more powerful system baby boy.

The Dreamcast was as powerful as it could reasonably be at the time of its release. Like the other consoles of the gen (besides PS2) it was also nice and simple to use, with features like e.g. extraordinarily simple transparency support (unlike the Saturn which was famously shit at transparency).

>>387313012
What's the best looking PS2 game in your opinion? I doubt the Dreamcast could run Zone of the Enders 2, for example.

>>387312945
dreamcast and ps2 were about equal. the ps2 a shit, desu. the reason we praise it so much is for its library, not hardware.

the dreamcast and xbox had better hardware. both were well ahead of their time.

>>387313012

It wasn't though, that's not to say it wasn't impressive as fuck.
I reckon with some wizardry it could've pulled off some ps2 tier at a lower resolution or other optimisations. It wasn't as powerful, but it wasn't underpowered.

DC is nowhere near the PS2 power-wise, the architecture has severe bottlenecks, in fact it's the only console of that generation where the VRAM is a hard limit for the amount of polygons it can push. Decreasing the framerate won't help either, since it's a per-scene limitation.

DC can only compete with the PS2 as long as you're not taking full advantage of its vector unit power or polygon drawing speed. That system can match even the GameCube by sheer bruteforce, Xbox is a different beast, though.

It's literally a fuckimg cube, a square... Really makes me think

Dreamcast
>Better at texturing
>AA/Image quality
>More VRAM
>More features on chip

PS2
>More RAM
>Better CPU
>Faster memory bus
>Can push more polygons and effects

That's it in a nutshell. The PS2 was just that bit better than dreamcast because of its retarded architecture, devs were able to squeeze shit out of it.
The Dreamcast in theory should be able to run many PS2 games. Some looking better (Small games like fighters), whereas big open world type games would require serious compromises due to hardware and CD-ROMs.

Well, it was more powerful than the Dreamcast, but less powerful than the PS2 and Xbox. For the point to work, that it is "powerful as hell", it would have to be compared to the Playstation or Saturn.

Absolute garbage first party library. Sunshine was shit, Wind Waker was shit, Prime ruined the Metroid franchise, F Zero was a huge step back, Melee has a cancerous following.

in my experience the games were ether amazing or shit there was very few middle ground meh titles
also i disgaree with every one and i will fight you over the fact that wind walker was one of the best zelda titles
lets not forget best ports of spiderman 2, re4, soul caliber and timesplitters and some many more
best star wars games , and i don't care luigi's mansion n was a lot of fun
also best entrance to the tales franchise and metriod was god tier.
the pikimin series started its life on gamecube, and metal gear solid twin snakes is a amazing update (tho the cut sense suck compared to ps1)
call me a nintendo fag but i hosnestly think gamecube is a underrated brillant console that easily rivals dreamcast for shear cult status

Nintendo only makes shit consoles, ever since the N64. So yes, we will only see consoles like this. All shitty in unique shitty ways.

Nintendo is only good at software. EVERYTHING ELSE has been shit after the SNES. Meme company. Meme hardware. Emulate it all on PC and you skip the bullshit.

Dreamcast will always seem like such an odd case to me. Back in the sixth generation era me and most of my friends were sonybros although I remember at least one guy owning an Xbox. None of us had a Gamecube but I remember seeing it and its games in many video game shops so it was definitely there even though it flopped commercially. The Dreamcast however was nowhere to be seen, and I literally mean nowhere. I've never seen a Dreamcast being sold anywhere during my entire lifetime and back in the day I never saw any Dreamcast games anywhere even though PS2, Xbox and GC games were sold in all video game stores. Needless to say, nobody had a Dreamcast and it wasn't until years later that I even learned such a console exists. Even after all these years I've only seen like three Dreamcast games in real life and they've all been in some independent retro game shops that specialize in obscure games and rarities. Like, what the hell? To me, the Dreamcast always feels like some sort of Mandela Effect bullshit that comes from another timeline. Where was it sold and when? Was it common anywhere? Was it discontinued and abandoned like a month after its release? Did it have any notable games? Did anyone own the console? There are so many questions that I have but the bottom line is that I just find it absolutely insane that this was a console that was apparently competing with the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube.

I live in Europe if that makes a difference.

>>387315242

Amerifat here. I only knew like two people who had Dreamcasts back then, but it wasn't some kind of mythical secret or anything. All the stores had DCs and DC accessories. Vidya magazines covered Sega stuff alongside Nintendo/Sony/MS, etc. Pretty much all of the major third parties made DC games up until the end, so somebody had to be buying them.

>>387310461
Only the GPU was powerful, every Dev bashed how crappy the GameCube CPU and memory was. It was less obscure like PS2 so it was easier to develop but the raw potential you could squeeze out of it was low compared to competent devs on PS2 or Xbox.

Did the GameCube have tiddy physics? Soul caliber 2 on the Xbox did. Just wondering.

He's right you know.

The Gamecube was the worst console of that generation. Nintendo got out of the console business to make tablets. They won't make consoles anymore.

The Gamecube was garbage. It flopped so hard it caused Nintendo to stop trying to compete and only make gimmicks from then on.

Gamecube was the feels before reals console. Lots of dull, stretched out games that had to fall back on muh atmosphere as a crutch.
