Whats up with Redstorm.. GCN Ghost Recon, etc

alrighty... I was bummed to see such a low rating on Sum of all fears... .. no one could give me a personal rating on how good the game is.. but it scored 2.5. They said Redstorm totally blew the port.. and there is no way they should have let this crap come out..etc.

Second bummer.... Ghost Recon hits 4.5... ANOTHER BLOWN PORT. The xbox port got 8.8... but why can't the GCN get a good port?

Splinter Cell better not be the same way...

Anyone know why/how they can screw 2 games up..? THIS BAD?

It really is annoying.. why can't software developers put some time into these games. Avoid the fanboy comments please, but all 3 systems can handle more than what GR and SOAF have shown. WTH would you not look at the port and say.. meh... lets try to get this right? Come on.. the cube is better than that.... Sorry... I get bitter when ANY system gets a crappy port that can handle much better.

I know 1 guy working in Redstorm... I am going to talk with him on this issue too... but, I guess I just wanted to discuss it here.

sorry for writing again... I have been a redstorm fan for awhile. I loved the Rogue Spear.. and so forth...

Rainbow 6..(I forget it developed strictly with Redstorm) was a sweet game.

I have NEVER seen them screw up console ports this bad. Even the N64 Rainbow 6 was top notch in my books... fun as HECK.

The Rogue Spear for the DC was cool.. and it was for the PC..... although the controls are not fun with the DC controller..

The Ghost Recon and SOAF ports Just tick me off...
I was hoping for a more solid product, especially out of Redstorm.....

Let's face it, without Xbox live: Ghost Recon is going to suck. I didn't even know it was coming to GCN, but then again, it doesn't really matter anyhow.

Suck, however.

It's sad to see a shitty port;
but Spikesright....without online, this game just doesn't add up to much.

Its not my type of game at all...but its just sad to see the GC get shafted. Oh well.

Blu, have you heard about the new gamecube game called SPHINX? GC Exclusive, and it looks damn near godlike....

<a href="http://www.nintendophiles.com" target="_blank">www.nintendophiles.com</a> has a nice news story about it.

just read about it today

Have not seen too much on it yet. Yes, it is looking awesome... hopefully it follows through though.

I thought THQ said they were getting away from the cube?

Odd.....

But crappy ports tick me off...no mtter WHAT system they are on. there is no excuse except for laziness... (I suppose).

If it's new GCN games you're looking for, buy the game from my sig and be very very happy. wink

Spike-

How's navigating the menu system in that import?
Rough? Easy?

I'm looking for some info on it, but can't find much.

Thanks

You're asking a guy that can read most of everything in the game. So, it's very easy. wink

Go to gamefaqs.com and then check out the PS2 translation guide. I'm sure it should be of some help. I will say this much: there ARE some things that would be a pain in the ass to know if you didn't know JPN, such as all the stats of characters (there's four pages of stats per character, and unless you can read it, it would be a nightmare to know what they all are without looking each one up... who's got the best body balance again? DAMN!)

is winning 11 THAT good of a game?
i want a good soccer game but dont read japanese!

I think winning eleven is easily one of the best soccer games out, yeah. If it's made by Konami, there's a very good chance it's better than most.

It first came out for PS2, so if you have either one, at least check it out. I know it's coming to the states, but I don't think it's WE6:FE, but Pro Evolution Soccer 2. I hear they're very very similar, but still not the same. Most will tell you that WE is the better game, but it's all opinion, I'm sure.

Miles better than FIFA, for sure.
