Ok, just an idea and yet a valid enough argument to say the least.

Now people would have other's to believe that the Nintendo Gamecube and PS2 are on equal power with each other concerning graphics, despite the various mis-matches that exist between each systems.
I have always denied however that there is.

So I'll ask this question- "Why then does GC Versions of PS2 Games have superior features to their PS2 Counterpart, if that's the case?"

Ill name GC examples:
1. Tony Hawk's 3
2. Klonoa 2 ( Which has been announced to be of higher standard than PS2)
3. Extreme G3
4. NFL Blitz
5. FIFA 2002

These are a tiny few and there are many more.

Well?

I'd agree.
The PS2 Is one heck of a great console. It has a lot of great potential. But I don't feel it's true strength's have been utilised at all.

Maybe it is a pig to develop for, after all a lot of developer's have stated this and it is well known in the video game industry. But so was the N64, it was a pig to develop for too (Going by free radical).

However 'I feel' the PS2 Is fairly close to the GC but yet not better.
It would be highly probable that the GC developer's would have something looking absolutley spectacular running on the GC, in considerable less time than it would for PS2.

Simple, If you look at the architecture of the PS2, you will see it is very complex and very advanced. Developers who can master this could create some of the best games seen, its still early stages and once the developers learn new techniques and how to get the best out of the hardware then we will see what the PS2 can do.

I have a question:

Why do people feel they have to compete and better the PS2 on these forums?

As for your question, i basicly feel its down to the developers
