Powered by an unnecessarily complicated main processor that was very powerful but had to handle many functions via the VU units that the competitions more modern GPU's handled with ease.Īll topped off with good old mad Ken's pretentious marketing bullshit. Massive fill-rate with high bandwidth memory, but a paltry 4MB Vram that was hard to work around and was a massive bottleneck for textures and resolutions before dev's got better at under the hood optimisation.

The PS2 was a Ten Ton Gorilla with forearms like tree trunks but two broken legs. Splashdown set a new standard in water effects back then.īaldur´s Gaate: Dark Alliance was praised for such effects as well. If it´s water effects only, the PS2 was also praised a lot. In fact I think there might be some effects that even the Dreamcast can do better than the PS2 if I remember correctly.Īctually, I think it is more a matter of the Gamecube doing the water effects while doing many other things at the same time. Water is one thing Gamecube especially does well. You can again see that in RE4 comparions. Overall you can really say that the GCN is better than the PS2, but worse than Xbox.ĭon't forget all the special effects Gamecube can do more easily than the PS2. On PS2, it does not really emit any light, it´s just decoration. Or here, you can see how the flashlight on Leon´s belt lights the area on Gamecube. For one you see that the textures are a bit crisper on GCN, but more importantly, the gunfire and explosion lights Leon and the surroundings on PS2 only the explosion has a lighting effect, and it is not as good as on PS2. Here´s a nice example: On the left GCN, right PS2. The textures are a level below the ones on GCN, and for example in caves with torches on the wall you will see fewer torches (=fewer real-time lighting effects) on PS2. The PS2-version does come fairly close, and the PS2-scenes in the comparison vids above are worse than it looks in reality (it does look sharper than that, probably bad cables or something) but there is definitely a noteable difference. I think that Resident Evil 4 is indeed a good example. The Gamecube definitely has the better graphics.
