>It could deliver Genesis games, but not the Genesis experience.
Precisely, a perfect way to put it.
>Its reasons for falling behind are for reasons other than its power
This is also true, but the technical shortcomings still held it back considerably.

>GameCube has better graphics than PS2!!! Check out this Wii game!!!
LOL, this is the biggest reach I've ever seen. Sure, it has "better graphics", uh-huh, it's just that nobody ever bothered to utilise them, and the PS2 ended up with the better looking games, and the only counterexamples are from the Wii which is the next generation, yeah right.

It was also lack of hardware capability.

Burnout 3, one of the most technically impressive racing games of its era, couldn't be ported to the Gamecube -- and EA was still supporting the GC with ports of Def Jam Fight for NY and Goldeneye Rogue Agent, so it wasn't because EA said no.

It's literally the only game they can point to as an example of the GameCube being "more powerful" than the PS2, the only fleeting piece of evidence they have for that ridiculous claim, nevermind the countless examples one can find to the contrary.

>>9206196
The single example of a GC game being better than PS2 is RE4, and that's because it was tailor made to GC's hardware.

Wrong, it was far more powerful than the GameCube.

Incorrect.

False

Factual: Xbox > PS2 > GCN > DC

Was the Gamecube really "stronger" than the PlayStation 2?

The Gamecube was so shit it couldn't even handle Burnout 3, one of the best and most technically impressive racers - the PS2 could handle it, but not the Gamecube - and EA hadn't abandoned the GC like a ton of third party publishers had (Midway)

Oh and the fucking controls - requiring you to press 2 buttons at once. Godzilla on Gamecube requires TWO BUTTONS TO GRAB - but Godzilla on PS2 doesn't - and funny enough, the PS2 game not only has a button to do the grab, but it still lets you use two buttons to do the grab - kinda convenient, unlike the Shitcube

But I think the absolute WORST one is how Tony Hawk on Gamecube requires two buttons to do the revert.

Was the Gamecube really weaker than the PS2? This seems to be the case.

The GameCube also had other serious deficiencies, such as being far more constrained in terms of lighting effects or particles, and having far less general-purpose RAM.

Maybe that's because it was made specifically with GC's hardware in mind.

>>7720396
Yeah, remember all those impressive games the GC had to match up with MGS3 or SoTC?

Everytime this gets posted, mad tendies just refute with Criterion sucks at programming

If you go to the link in picrel and look through the autistic manchild the dev goes back and forth with, it really is no different from your average fanboy on /v/.

>>7440716
SOTC had better complex lighting, fur physics, particles, etc, than RE4. No question about it.
