Other reasons to own a Gamecube

No, it just wouldn't. I hate when people think there is a magical knob that you can turn that tones a game down ever so slightly "jag up the edges a bit, that'll do!". Its just not that simple. As you have said the consoles run on totally different architecture. And if you were to try and make these games on PS2 or GC, you would have to lessen the AI, shrink the area's, lessen the number of enemies on screen, lessen the speed, lessen the effects, totally rework the physics, have much less happening at once etc... not to mention try to program it from the ground up. Hence it would no longer be the same game, thus a feasable port is not possible.

I know what it takes to Port a game. In the first place it depends alot how you write your AI engine and such if it can be easily portable.. When games that are written to be on multiple system design most of there stuff to be easily portable hence they can make it for all of them..

But again i know what it takes to do stuff on different architectures and how it works.. I do small little programming for my own use. Even in PHP if you wanna make a site that works on multiple servers you have to think about portablilty differences between Linux/Windows or different PHP configurations.

But the thing is they CAN be ported and they would probably look almost as good.. But they WON'T because it wouldn't be Economical to do it. (Besides being locked into a contract)
