Hell yes.

I'll pick it up with Zelda when I go to the store, if I never do get it this Christmas for Xbox.

Any thoughts?

P.S. (I know Gekko mentioned it a while back in the Xbox forum. Not everyone saw it, I guess.. This is just proof)

Erm...

If anything the game (graphically) will be downgraded for the GameCube.

****ing ****!@#!$@ I just knew there was something wrong with this.

ehhh. maybe, if they just simply port it, or try thier best to port it with making a few cahnges to the code as possible. graphically it will be not as good as Xbox.

if they take thier time a bit, and redo enough of the code, its possible they can MAYBE get it better looking (but not by much).

because im sure as they went along and made it the first time, they'd of found out a few shortcuts or things they could change to help the graphics. that always happens.

but i doubt they'd redo that much. so in all likely it will not look as good as xbox.

As for me tho. i just pick it up for PC, then i get the best looking and best playing of of them all! muhahahaha

get the XBox version.

Actually, I strongly advise you get the PC version if you have a decent computer. It will be leaps and bounds above the best console version.

I wouldn't want to play this game without a controller, to say the least.

And the Cube can do very good lighting, but this game was developed on Xbox. Expect a port with downgraded graphics. Though, I think this is the first Xbox to Gamecube port, so who knows how well it turns out. PS2 to Gamecube results in ugliness.

exactly why you go out and buy your fav controller for your computer.

me, i have my PS2 controller on my PC. and i agree with you in that this is the type of game i'd prolly prefer a controller too.

i shall have a good time on it with my PC and PS2 Controller.

The graphics won't be 'leaps and bounds' ahead of the Xbox version, they should be quite comparable. Even if there is a 'huge' difference (which there won't be) I doubt many people have a fast enough PC to make a difference (as I believe you implied).

But I agree with gekko the main concern here is a controller. A keyboard and mouse won't work with Splinter Cell very well in my opinion. I suppose you could have a nice controller for your PC, but I haven't seen many that I like.

Blackmane · 12-04-2002, 06:02 PM

Yay, once again Cube gets a good game after another console...

gekko · 12-04-2002, 06:04 PM

That's because Microsoft bought it exclusive for a period of time. Be happy Cube is getting it.

he didnt exactly say graphics.

And i've seen an adaptor for all 3 console controllers, PS2, GCN, and Xbox. to plug them into your PC. all of which work perfectly, rumble, digital / analog buttons.
