This month marks the 10th birthday of Nintendo’s Gamecube, the tiny purple system with a handle that spent its entire five year life cycle struggling to carve out a niche against the then-seemingly infallible domination of Sony’s Playstation and the surprise success of Microsoft’s original Xbox. Despite the Gamecube representing Nintendo’s lowest point in terms of popularity and market share, the system is now remembered fondly by gamers for also being home to some of the best games of the last generation.
Company skipped last year's event.
Not surprising at all.
I mean, they´ll be releasing a new console in a few weeks.
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.
I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
But dude... Tales of Symphonia.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Skies of Arcadia
No pikmin? NO PIKMIN??? Pikmin 2 is one of my favourite games of all time.
ocarina of time, resident evil 0 resident evil nemesis, metroid, resident evil 4.
