looks good...but needs more racing games...

Our Demo Model of it just came into work today and i will say it looks good but the same problem with the nintendo 64 is still with the Gamecube. THE COLOURS ARE TO BRIGHT! Bright Greens,blues, yellows and reds... i can see a lot of people having fits from playing it too long. bright colours mess with your brain and screw you over

No bad ... even have Panasonic (if I am not mistaken) working on their version of GameCube ...
Anyone got it on hand? :rolleyes:

I have a gamecube, X-box, and Ps2....overall the systems, gamecube has surprised me the most. Grand theft Auto is a great game, but Gamecube gives me the chills everytime I pop in Star Wars Rouge Leader. Oh yeah, and Resident Evil makes me crap my pants. I still think that Playstation 2 is the best system.

gamecube is good, if you don't like the bright colouyrs get a black one like i did, and the fact that the gfx processor is by ATi and is powered by an IBM Microprocessor, in a smart little box for £130 is amazing :D Though people should wait untill some more games are out for it.

Where is the 'No Opinion" vote?? :(

no, ps2 all da way
Posted by: Bubba Aikon2
it sucks coz the grfics arent better than the xbox or the playstation.
The xbox and the gamecube are dropping prices just to sell more than the ps2 so im sticking with my ps2 and my pc
Posted by: Millward
I disagree, the gfx are way better than the ps2's. I also have a ps2 and I have toi say I havnt been that impressed. There are good games but it is still over priced for what it is, and the dvd playback is just terrible. I have a panasonic dvd player which is way way better.

The GameCube rocks! I have a black one also. The only bright color they have out in the U.S. is the Indigo color. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the Orange one from Japan though.
@Millward: When you said that you have a panansonic dvd player, are you referring to the Q? -the GameCube DVD Player hybrid
Posted by: Millward
No, I meant a normal DVD player, I was just saying that it has better dvd playback than the ps2. That panasonic version is only comming out in japan I think :(

Okay, some things to clarify: 1: Colors too bright? WTF are you talking about? The games determine the colors shown in-game, not the system. I suggest that before you mistakenly fault any other systems you turn the brightness on your t.v. down a notch. :p 2: The PS2 dropped it's price to $199 BEFORE X-Box, and why would you not buy a system merely because it's dropping its price to compete (i'm looking in your direction, Bubba Aikon2)? 3: As always (and previously stated), the graphics are not determined by the system, but by the games on the system. The system can have all the graphics capability in the world and still put out crap graphics. Don't fault any of these next-gen systems for their graphics, they all have very well-to-do capabilities. Fault the developers if you're not satisfied. /// Okay, that's about it, except that I would hardly say the PS2 dvd playback is "just terrible". It has the same decoder that's in your panasonic and every other dvd player out there. The software is what you're probably complaining about, unless you're using dirty DVDs, which won't play well in any DVD player.

No, I also have a ps2 and from comparing, the ps2 dvd playback is terrible. People buy it because it has DVD, so what? I also agree with what you said about the gfx quality being in the games and not the actual hardware. I dislike the way everyone says a console is better because of it's 'Graphics' I first things I look for in a game is playability, replay value. Take wolfenstein 3-D for example. The ignorant of gamers, will just laugh and say, it's crap because the graphics suck, they don't even relise that it was good in it's day. Now by today's standards, yes the graphics are dated, but the gameplay is far from out of date. I still play it to this day, and I still get more fun out of it than most modern games which are boring and unoriginal [most of the time] A true gamer should be able to appreciate uniqueness or gameplay, rather than just graphics.
Posted by: JARED592
Right-O, except I still don't understand the dvd gripe since dvds are not analog and therefore will not put out a differing picture unless they are fed information at an inadequate speed, which could result in garbled pixels onscreen. Otherwise, I was originally thinking you were talking about the DVD playing software itself, and it's basic nature (no zoom, etc)

Gamecube is a great system, and i'm sure it'll carry on the prestigious Nintendo quality we know & love :D
No offence, but xbox is a sinking ship. If not for PS2 lending it titles like MGS2 Substance and the like, it would surely be no more. It has a few quality titles, but the rest... well...
Bill Gates should stick to computers.

I think x-box has alot of potential, but not for MS. hehe, people have alread found ways of modding it to play burned games, got a copy of linux running on it, changed out the hard drive, and all sorts of other great stuff.

I agree, all the big titles are on the PS and the PS2
and they always will be. I think running Linux on a M$ X-box
machine dosent sound too fun, and finally i think Nintendo
Gamecube needs to start looking at more adult titles.
Until then, GO PS2! :D

I assume your talking about the colors with playing, if that is the case. Turn the TV's brightness level down or change the tint. Never had any problem with brightness, except on Eternal Darkness when it wasn't bright enough and I couldn't see anything.

Now now kids, GC, ps2 and Xbox are all great Systems, but it's no doubt that Nintendo has better quality systems. That IS why Nintendo dished out the gamecube late, they made sure it didn't have any bugs unlike Sony. And yes, Gamecube does have better graphics than Sony, it's not an opinion either, it's stated in ''Gamepro.'' Ps2 has alot of games, but crappy quality. (I should know, I have one.) Gamecube has on the verge of 200 games, give me good quality and a decent amount of games anyday. And no, the gamecube isn't all kiddy. It has quite a few M rated games and ALOT of T rated games. So far GC is my favourite system, Ever.
Posted by: bryguy2323
Gamecube has as many T rated games as E rated games, and while many of the E rated games such as Mario and Sonic are kids games, they're not all kids game, but almost all T rated games are appropriate for adults, when it's rated teen, that doesn't mean that it's a game for teenagers only, it means that you should not be playing it unless you are a teen or higher because of content such as swearing and violence, it's really stupid that people think it has to be rated M for it to be appropriate for adults to play, all the M means is that is has swearing or nudity or violence. In other words, if what you people are saying is correct, sports games such as football are "kiddy" games because their rated E.

The only thing that ****es me off is Nintendo's lack of online games, they only have 1!:mad:

I personally think GC isnt as great as XBox or PS2

fantasy star online is the only game i like from GC

I have an N64 and I'm perfectly happy with it. :)

WELL,
As my name stats u will all probably guess which consoles
i like.
i had an xbox but i never liked it.

I'm a big fan of Nintendo but I was a little disappointed in GC
Posted by: Squaggleboggin
When the GC was first coming out, I couldn't be more excited. I figured it would be another Nintendo masterpiece, as I've been playing Nintendo systems and games for as long as I can remember, and it turned out to be okay, but nothing too special. I was a little disappointed with its graphics not being up to par with the Xbox, but I was glad that it still had four players. I think that the games on the GC are either aimed at small children, or at very mature themes; there seems to be almost no median besides games that are available on all of the 'next-gen' consoles.

xbox is the best system, but gc comes in second.
Posted by: 9homersimpson9
I dont know why alot of people say that its for kids???
Its because they grew up playing nintendo consoles and now turned there backs on them.
NINTENDO is still a great console.
Its just as good as the PS2 and miles better than the crapbox (xbox)
Posted by: CheeseB
I've had a PS2 for years, & I just got a GC. I think it's pretty good. XBox is a superior machine, but there are very few good games for it (Halo being the obvious, but also Top Spin for sports game fans, etc.) Although the GC lagged behind in the past, it has surpassed the XBox by far. Series like Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc. are exclusive to Nintendo. Also, there have been some good games coming out recently, like Viewtiful Joe, and even more scheduled to come out. The hardware may be a bit unattractive to some, & the control pad is horrible, but still, the GC is the second best console out today.

I LOVE my gamecube controller, what is wrong with it? Why is the xbox controller better, its a big bulky piece of crap compared to the gamecube controller. PS2 controller is the best of the bunch though :)
