6th Gen Multiplats

[Anonymous No.7768414]

Which games were best on each console?

[Anonymous No.7768435]

Multiplats were almost always best on the Xbox.

[Anonymous No.7768465]

>>7768435
any notable exceptions?

[Anonymous No.7768468]

>>7768435
It's rarely so clear-cut. Sonic games, for example, were usually the worst on Xbox. GC had the best releases there, except in the case of the expanded collection disks that PS2 got (mega collection plus for example). Just this one franchise demonstrates the inconsistent nature by which different releases would perform. You have to take it on a case-by-case basis.

>>7768465
some japanese ones like mgs2/sh2, gta sa also took some notable changes on. Obsessing over the best version to play isn't a recipe for a good time.

What was different with San Andreas?

>>7768465
MvC2, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 come to mind

[Anonymous No.7768525]

>>7768517
san andreas in ps2 had more aggressive post effects, heat haze, color grading that gave it a strong orange look, proper car reflections/filth states, etc and ran at a consistent framerate. Xbox version looks more like the PC version, sterile and more modern - although the PC version is missing more visual elements. Notably flying through clouds on the Xbox causes the framerate to tank but not on the PS2 version.

[Anonymous No.7768594]

>>7768414
The general answer here is Xbox but this is honestly a case by case basis thing. Do you have specific titles in mind, because if you dont, this is just console war bait.

Dreamcast - Sonic Adventure and Shenmue

Not him, but RE4 was the worst game in the Resident Evil franchise, which caused the sequels to be awful.

[Anonymous No.7768717]

>>7768670
RE4 was a true next generation game on a, then, current generation console. PS2 or GC, the game was ahead of it's time.

Dreamcast DoA 2 is beautiful as well

[Anonymous No.7768924]

Burnout 3 is an interesting scenario.

On the PS2 it had far better spark and motion blur effects than Xbox. It also had better blooming and specular light reflections. It also had a far better particle system too. IMO, not even a contest.

However, the Xbox version had better reflection mapping on the cars themselves and did have slightly better textures, which is probably why it had slightly better reflections. There were also better far off textures too, so this made a difference at high speeds.

Reviewers will claim the Xbox version used Antialiasing, but this isn't true. Xbox rarely used it for any game, it simply had better texture handling/filtering and a better display output. Run the PS2 in RGB SCART and now your neck and neck between the two, for clarity anyway. IMO, PS2 is the better version graphically, but it's not exactly cut and dry.

I don't know abut the other Sonic games, but the differences between Sonic Heroes on Gamecube and Xbox were slim.

>>7768924
Xbox games often had higher resolution than PS2 games, which is one reason the "anti-aliasing" claim is so common.

[Anonymous No.7769201]

>>7768968
Yeah he's full of it lol. Even if Xbox hypothetically looked worse for Sonic (it didn't), both Heroes and Shadow ran at 60. PS2 30 with dips for both.

[Anonymous No.7769423]

>>7768839
There were two final versions for both consoles. DOA2 for Dreamcast in Japan was the Limited Edition version. There was also a DOA2 Hardcore for Japan on PS2, which had minor enhancements and additions from the US release of DOA2: Hardcore with a total of 91 costumes, slight graphical tweaks, and other extras.

Team Ninja was only given 2 months to originally port the game from the DC to the PS2 so the original release sucked.

Keep in mind though, the PS2 version has a nude Kasumi.

Physics are miles better. You can feel the weight distribution on a motorbike for instance.
If it wasnt for the god awful control scheme it would be the undisputed champ. The game was designed with the DS2 controller in mind, drive by is painful on xbox controller.

[Anonymous No.7770024]

Not him, but Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X is an enhanced port that also features the levels from 1, it's the best release of that game and a very strange one considering that the Xbox was kinda late to the 6th gen.

[Anonymous No.7770029]

>>7768414
i don't have an xbox but i remember outrun 2006 being insanely good looking on it

[Anonymous No.7770063]

>>7770024
All Tony Hawk games on Xbox run best on it with later ones going up to 720p. Pro Skater 3 got an extra level on Xbox but it's kind of just a baren map they never gave it missions for singleplayer, at the time PS2 exclusively had an online mode for the game so that one might be a toss as far as features

[Anonymous No.7770067]

RE4 was way better on GC than Ps2

[Anonymous No.7770069]

>>7770067
Maybe that's because it was made specifically with GC's hardware in mind.

[Anonymous No.7770139]

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, unironically best on the gamecube for the hidden content that was unlocked by connecting the GBA version. No particular reason otherwise. Maybe give it a try on any 6th gen if you haven't, it's a fun game with a great soundtrack.

>>7768670
Incorrect. 5 is the worst, 4 is campy to 11 and better for it, has a fantastic aesthetic, and it's gameplay is fun nearly overall, minus the introduction of qte's. The graphics autists of the series will argue that the gamecube version is superior due to the correct lighting in a lot of areas, among other things, but personally I've never noticed a big enough difference between it and the PS2 version. The PS2 release has quite a lot of extra content, pretty much making it the best early version of the game.

[Anonymous No.7770187]

>>7768435
Yep.

[Anonymous No.7770198]

Nope. Almost all Dreamcast Capcom multiplats were superior to what other consoles got.

That’s fair since like the Neo Geo, Dreamcast was the same hardware in a console that you got at the arcade but actually affordable.

[Anonymous No.7770423]

>>7770139
Damn I was playing on Xbox assuming it would be best. What kind of extra content?

[Anonymous No.7770448]

>>7768638
It baffles me how Capcom ported RE4 to basically every non-handheld console, but never on the OG Xbox, they sure hated those gaijins.

[Anonymous No.7770532]

>>7770209
Not that Anon, but I'd consider it superior because of the 720p and Dolby Digital support (both of which Gamecube can't do)

yeah Ninja Gaiden for xbox, but its been rebooted and ported so many times you can probably get a better version else where.

[Anonymous No.7770613]

>>7768609
Shenmue is a garbage game only for nostalgia cucks.
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is a good introductory stealth game, I'd even go so far as to say the best stealth game. I can't speak for the others Splinter Cell games.

[Anonymous No.7770615]

720p support is nice several years later but I’m mostly thinking of how the majority of people would’ve experienced it at the time of release.

original ps2 release was basically taken from itagaki and released without his permission. unfinished but has 3 stages not present on dc limited edition

the main draw of doa2hc japan is the turbo mode and new intro

all versions have nude kasumi, but the xbox remake of 2 doesn't have her as a costume and instead a model for 1 stage

[Anonymous No.7770662]

also lacking 4 buttons and the c-stick didn't quite compare to a normal secondary stick

[Anonymous No.7770703]

>>7770423
The GBA version has hidden areas with various enemies and some kind of puzzle room only accessible via connecting to a GameCube copy, I don't know much about that but there's a video of it on YouTube. The GameCube version has a room accessible via the entrance hall with a painting that cannot be moved unless connected to the GBA version of the game. Entering it takes you to a rather pretty rendition of Gringotts, which doesn't seem to do much except provide you with four duplicate w/w cards, making collecting them normally in the run unnecessary, and also allows you to talk to a bunch of asshole goblins with unique voice acting not present in the other versions.

The whole thing is definitely sort of an afterthought on the gc version, but it's still a pretty neat obscure feature, and I love that sort of thing.

False. Shenmue is a masterpiece, hated by Sonyfags and Nincels. The original Splinter Cell is a good introduction to stealth gaming. Choas Theory may improve on game play, but it lacks the realism of the original.

I want to believe that it's just a menu option but I'm not totally sure. I'll be buying physical copies of both myself soon to test it out, but based on what I've seen so far you just have to have them connected

[Anonymous No.7773535]

>>7773526
Booted the GBA game to check. There's a main menu option listed "Connectivity" that prompts to connect to a GameCube.
I don't have the GameCube version handy to try it out but I presume this means it works without progressing in the GBA version at all.
