wich games are at 60 fps on the gamecube? i want to buy one to experience the difference

 

[Ecrofirt]

GameCube has games?

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

Buy F-Zero GX, because it's probably only a dollar by now.


Shit, did that drop fast.

 

[goomba]

Super monkeyball, Metroid Prime, Mario Kart DD (not sure), FZERO GX benefits the most.

Timesplitters 2/3

As people have noted...

F-Zero GX is the best choice, I'd say. Prime really benefits as well.

Tales of Symphonia might even be a good choice, as the entire game is 60 fps EXCEPT the world map (which you don't even spend a lot of time on). You could see the difference pretty clearly there...

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Timesplitters 2/3

Timesplitters 3 has a lot of slowdown on GC. It's definitely not locked at 60.

 

[VNZ]

Super Monkey Ball is a good test case if you (for some foul reason) happen to have the recent PS2 version to go side by side.

 

[AtomicShroom]

StarFox Adventures. Drops in some areas, but mainly smooth 60fps.

 

[bigNman]

Eternal Darkness was 60fps with widescreen.

 

[Sagitario]

Prime 1 and 2...

 

[Jive Turkey]

As several have said...F-Zero GX is the best example of great graphics and 60fps.

 

[radioheadrule83]

I can't be certain which of these are 60fps, but many of them are likely candidates as they have 60hz mode in PAL territories:

1080 Avalanche
Beach Spikers
Billy Hatcher
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury
Bomberman Generations
Burnout
Burnout 2: Point of Impact
Capcom Vs SNK 2 EO
Crazy Taxi
Eternal Darkness
F Zero GX
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Lost Kingdoms 2
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Phantasy Star Online I II & III
Pokemon Colleseum
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 0
Rocky
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
Soul Calibur II
Spiderman
Spy Hunter
Star Fox Adventures
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros Melee


Those not at 60 will most likely be locked at 30 to look good at the appropriate refresh rate.

 

[dark10x]

Fixed list...

Beach Spikers
Billy Hatcher
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury
Bomberman Generations
Burnout

Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2

Gamecube has more games running at 60fps than games running at 30fps, perhaps it´s Nintendo first party japanase games that runs at 30fps (with exceptión of Mario Kart Double Dash) that do the effect of the all the catalogue in GCN runs at 30fps.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I know Super Mario Sunshine and Resident Evil Remake/Zero are 30 fps. Like you said it's a 60 hz mode, which is not necessarily the games framerate, just the games compatibilty with Pal's 60 hz mode.

EDIT: Beaten by dark10x

 

[Calidor]

thanks a lot guys, i will try F-Zero GX.

 

[FoneBone]

Beyond Good & Evil... inconsistently.
Sphinx

Also, Zelda is only 30.

 

[Speevy]

Animal Crossing. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

 

[olimario]

I thought SFA was 30. It's really not very smooth.
GX, Prime, and Monkey Ball are the smoothest games I've played.

 

[Nightbreeze]

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is 60 frames I believe.

 

[el jacko]

F-Zero GX has slowdown. It's rare, but it exists. Boost right after that first second turn coming out of the pyramid in the first Sand Ocean track and it's pretty obvious.

Tales of Symphonia slows down in battle, too, when multiple characters use powerful/showy attacks at the same time (ie: Gravity Well).

 

[zooL]

I can't be certain which of these are 60fps, but many of them are likely candidates as they have 60hz mode in PAL territories

Having a 60Hz-Mode has absolutely nothing to do with having 60fps other than that a PAL-game without a 60Hz-mode could never run at 60fps (the original NTSC-version could very well be running at 60fps).

 

[SantaC]

Prime 1 and 2...

what he said

 

[DieNgamers]

Take MP1 and F-ZeroGX cause with these two games you get great gaming experiences as well.

 

[nightez]

All the Burnout and Metroid Prime games are 60fps

 

[BDGAME]

Sonic Heros is 60fps and a good game to see.

In the past, to feel the difference between 30 and 60 frames, I first play Super Smash Bros Melee (60 fps) and next I play Mario Sunshine (30 fps).

It's really notable the difference!

 

[Yoshi]

My favourites for 60fps are F-Zero GX, Sonic Adventure 2, Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2.

 

[AtomicShroom]

This thread makes me wish companies would just stop making 30fps games.

 

[jarrod]

I really wish Mario Sunshine had been 60 fps like first promised.

 

[dark10x]

I thought SFA was 30. It's really not very smooth.
GX, Prime, and Monkey Ball are the smoothest games I've played.

Nope, SFA is 60 fps with very minor slowdown in a few areas. Cutscenes play at a very strange framerate, though (seems like a design choice). Seriously, go take another look if you have forgotten. The game is quite impressive looking (making great use of several GC features that very few other developers ever touched).

I really wish Mario Sunshine had been 60 fps like first promised.

Yeah, that original 60 fps footage always makes the disappointment seem even worse.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Yeah, that original 60 fps footage always makes the disappointment seem even worse.

Tell me about it. I remember seeing E3 footage on TV and it being a smooth 60fps. When I bought the game and saw that it was locked at 30, I was severely dissapointed.

 

[Bartman3010]

Sonic Adventure DX is inconsistently 60 frames...
