What would the controls be like? The Graphics, Would they look Cartoon/Bad? Would the Game still be GTA, or would it turn out a bad game? I don't really think a gta on a Nintendo system would work out so well, besides the game boy one's they made.
What are your opinions? Is it even possible to make a gta game suitable for a gamecube?
I think not, the graphics wouldn't look so good, the controls would feel weird, and there would probabaly be less cuss language, sex, and violence.
I think GTA is great for PS2 Xbox and PC, but for Gamecube I say No.

You'd have Mario going columbine on strippers and gangsters.
Wouldn't work, tbh. Gamecube is aimed mostly at younger audiences, with the exception of Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, etc.

It's up to the game developpers how their game is going to be. It can be full of sex, swearing and violence, not matter what console. Graphics would probably be a tad better than those of PS2, as GC is slightly more powerful.

How about GTA on Wii. That might be interesting.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. Innovation at its peak, that would be.

I would love to use the Wii controller in Sa-Mp to knock certain users in a more creative way.

No, Nintendo has mantained since the NES days that they didn't want any explict or ultra-violent games on their consoles.

So what about Resi Evil 4, Eternal Darkness, Timesplitters?
Just because it's on Gamecube, doesn't mean it's for kids. Infact I havn't come across one game on the GC, that is explicitly for kids. The majority of kids I know would rather play GTA than Mario, but my friends and older people I know, would rather play Super Smash Brothers than San Andreas.
& as for graphics, Gamecube is more powerful than the PS2.

I'm sorry did I say that the GC is just for kids.....
Oh ya know what, I didn't. I did though say that nitnendo didn't want violent games on their console. I didn;t say that they didn't have any. And even then I said ultra-violence. There is violence everywhere. Even in E raited games. But there isn't ultra violence.
and ontopic- ditto the GC is more powerful than the PS2, and imo the GC had more potential.

The GC is more powerful than the PS2 but the size of the cd would also come into play.

I wasn't talking about you when I said the kids thing, just telling you an example of some of the more violent games. The kids thing was a general remark made by 'everyone's' view on it. Not yours, I can see why it looked like that though. I can see why it came across like I was attacking you, but I wasn't.

Makes sense that we can fit a GTA on a UMD, but not on a GameCube disc. UMD's are better/newer technology.
And the whole "Kids" thing means nothing. Resident Evil 4 did just fine.
I think it's really all about Rockstar's effort to develop a GTA for the GameCube. It definetely isn't publicized nearly as much.

Gamecube Discs can hold 1.5GB, whilst UMDs hold 1.8GB. If you look at games like LCS and GTA3 they barely took up 1.4GB, In my opinion they could of easily worked around and put either GTA3 or LCS on the Gamecube with a bit of time working on it, Heck they could perhaps even do Vice City.

It could easily be compressed to fit on a gamecube disk. If GTA can fit on a PS2 disk then it can fit on GC one. Except maybe those dual layered freaky ones.

The controls and graphics would both be crap on Gamecube. The PS2 is best for GTA, XBOX controls are crap for GTA, but the graphics are good imo.

Why would the Graphics be crap? You do know the Gamecube is actually more powerful than the PS2 in terms of Graphics and CPU speed.

That doesn't mean that all GC games have to be crap...
Edit: and not to attack you, but what are ALL of them crap? They have different genres and types of play... the only link they have is that they use the same hardware.....
Well, imo Gamecubes are crap...
We don't need your fanboyism. Thank you.
Most young kids bought the PS2, instead of the GC, from what I have seen. Kids aren't interested in how innovative a system, they just care about getting their stupid parents to buy them games they shouldn't be playing, like GTA. But then again, that's the way I see it.
Holy Crapper

To tell you the truth I didn't know the gamecube had better graphics then the PS2.

GameCube games don't necessarily have "better graphics" than PS2, but statistics have shown that it is capable of more than the PS2. Developers usually don't give it that extra effort though, as it isn't as highly marketed as it's competitors.
I salute Capcom for their tremendous effort on RE4.

I guess GTA wouldn't look that bad on Gamecube, but I know for sure, i wouldn't like playing the game on gamecube, it would be so different.

The only reason I wouldn't play it on a Gamecube is because the controls wouldn't work so well. The XBOX version of GTA is annoying for that reason.
Blame poor button assignment done by Rockstar North. =(GameCube games don't necessarily have "better graphics" than PS2, but statistics have shown that it is capable of more than the PS2. Developers usually don't give it that extra effort though, as it isn't as highly marketed as it's competitors.
I salute Capcom for their tremendous effort on RE4.In 99% of the cases the Gamecube version of titles look better than they do on PS2. RE4 looked better not just because of the better effects and lighting, but also because of the texture filtering, antialiasing and anisotropic filtering. Same thing with any other title.

How about GTA on Wii. That might be interesting. I don't think it would be because just about every game i've seen that is going to Wii looks Cartoony except for one and thats the Red Steel game.
So because the games you saw looked cartoony to you somehow means that Rockstar North is going to be like "Let's use the same graphics engine as Mario"?

No i was what i meant by that was that the system is kinda for them real young kids like from 5 to 10 years old so what i meant by that was it wouldn't be the best system you can choose to put a game on.
I find that not statistically correct. From what I've seen, most people who play the Gamecube are older than 5-10 years old. Kids just get whatever is in style these days, such as the PS2 or the Xbox 360 if people recommend it.

Man i guess your right but still why would rockstar put GTA on Wii and besides look at all the things Microsoft and Sony have done for the GTA Series.
The same thing Wii could possibly do.. get them money.
i would like to see GTA ont the wii it would be interesting to say the least.

Luigi and Mario killing people isn't the image Nintendo wants to put out.

Idk why I just lol'd at that. Ok, Here's what I think. Gamecube games are cartoony, Because gamecube is aimed at children, That's what nintendo is aimed at, Obviously. They have gameboys, Sony has PSP's for the older community. IF they made a GTA for gamecube, I dont think it would be cartoony, Because they will want to sell games, If R* goes cartoony on a GTA then they wont sell much copies, IMO, But tbh I dont think they will.

What the fuck are you all on about?
The gamecube, is just a console, it's not a game, so doesn't really have an image(well it does, but it's not as definative as a game for obvious reasons). It's target market is gamers, and now other people. Have you seen XBOX360 and Wii's advertisments? I havn't seen a single kid yet. Konami makes a game based upon their views of what it should look like. Last time I checked, being a little kid, wasn't cool. So they are undoubtably, not gunna have kids in their commercials, so I don't know where this Gaemcube is for kids mentally came out.
I mean I can understand it, Mario has qualities that apply to children, but so do loads of games on the Xbox and PS2. So the whole reasoning behind it is retarded. It's like me saying Sony is for smackheads cause all they ever play at E3 is techno music.

So the majority of first-party titles not having blood means that it's a child's console? Then explain Gran Turismo, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper..?
Im not saying just because a game doesn't violence its a kids game so dont put words in my mouth im talking about actual kids games.
example: and there a shit load more then this
Pokemon(s)
Dragon Ball Z
animal fores
bay blade
bratz
cars
chicken little
digimon
dinotopia
Disney's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers
Disney's Magical Park
Disney's Party
Disney's Tarzan: Untamed
Dora the Explora
Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Mis-Edventures
Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness
Harry Potter
Hello Kitty
Hot Wheels
Ice Age 2
The Incredibles
Jimmy Nuetron
Kirby
Madagascar
Mary Kate and Ashley
Piglets Big Game
Power Rangers
Powerpuff Girls
Rugrats
Scooby Doo
Shrek(s)
Spongebob
So compared to PS2 and Xbox yes i would say its more kid orientated.

Yeah some are on PS2 not 90% and thats not even all the kiddy games on gamecube all i'm saying is Nintendo always have more kid games on their system compareed to PS and Xbox its my opinion, dont like it too bad.
..Seriously, a majority of the games you listed are also on PS2.

I heard you the first time
some are on PS2 not 90%You said some, alright. Some doesn't sound like majority, thus me repeating myself without 90% since you wanted to get so technical.
All i said was compared to Sony and MS, Nintendo have alot more kiddy type games if you dont agree with me good for you but arguing with me wont change my mind.

There's way more kiddy games on Sony then there are on Gamecube, purely because Gamecube doesn't have as many games as PS2.
That picture was awesome though Fry.
