Also, here's one of the most visible annoyances... the distorted bars in the weapon menu:

No, I did not stretch this picture to make it like that, that's how Anniversary Collection looks on a TV! All lines on the bars are supposed to look even, not divided every 3 lines.
All of the graphics in the games, like the tilesets (floors, walls) has this problem in every game from 1 to 7. It just looks so poor.
I'm not sure if the GC version has the same problem. But if it doesn't, then it has a worse problem yet: A to shoot, B to jump.
There's other collections on PS2, like the Genesis games. And they're also wrongly programmed to be 480i, but they don't have that uneven pixels problem.
Complaint: Why only 6 games?
Answer: Because these games were entirely made for a new engine that would make it easier to port to future consoles. Also the reason why Leaderboards and Challenges can exist.
Complaint: Aniversary Collection is better!
Answer: That collection is over a decade old and is now not easily acessible. It's also known for it's bad input lag and emulation that makes the ports inferior to their original versions.
Complaint: Whats stopping me from emulating these games?
Answer: If you had never bought these games legitemetely, then thats piracy, also no leaderboards or challenges.
Complaint: Price is too high.
Answer: No it's not, 2.50 for each game. And that's if you don't include the extra stuff.
It looks the same. It's as bad as the PS2 version (And even worse because of jumping and shooting being reversed, no arranged tracks and no video options to move the screen).
You can buy an entire console and the game, AND have to wait for shipment and whatnot
OR
You can spend $15 right now and get the classic games in a matter of minutes. No need for a console, no need for shipment, no need for physical products. All legal.
It's just an alternative for people who prefer the latter.
Barely, shipping and handling makes the difference negligible. Let's not forget users outside North America have to pay more and take more steps to run it.
Buying a Playstation 2 and/or a Gamecube is already breaking bank. And the Gamecube version is definetely not cheaper than Legacy Collection.
Why would you go through all the stress getting that collection instead of Legacy Collection? Unless you want the other games there is no reason why you would buy the Aniversary Collection in this day in age.
Buy the gamecube and the game and try it for yourself (Since you're the one who thinks buying all that is better than buying Legacy on steam and get it right now). There's no proof people can give you other than that because then you'll complain about people not using your specific configuration and hardware in order to make it look better or worse.
"You're not taking screenshots correctly, that's why your game looks worse than I think it should". Also that requires yet another step: Setting up your PC and TV in order to be able to capture shots from your TV.
In any case, you gotta remember that even though the gamecube is superior in tech, most devs never fully exploited its potential which is why AC looking the same in both versions is to be expected.
Alright, let me tell you a different question. Why do you think that Legacy Collection is not worth owning to the point you would rather buy a old console for an old collection?
If there is an issue with input lag, then I'm sorry to break to you...again, but Aniversary Collection also has input lag.
Game lag is actually because the developers put it in there. Playing the classics on the NES, they decided to put it in there to perfectly emulate them.
And again, your friends are wrong. The developers have said they created a new engine to archive the games more easily. And unless your friends also created this game, they can't really just say the game is an emulation with an overlay.
Furthermore, they kinda admitted that when they were talking about the game on a stream but just used different words to explain stuff. It IS an emulator, but at the same time the engine can indeed do extra stuff like displaying overlays on top of the game (Challenge mode black hole) and manipulate savestates to put stages together when required (Challenge mode stages). It also, of course, can have its own menues and whatnot to display extra content as you can see in this game.
Just because it's an emulator doesn't mean it's a weak product. An emulator is never easy to write and the collection shouldn't be written out "just because it's an emulator" when people can't even tell the difference while playing it. This "engine" even has the advantage of being future proof, which means we can see it coming out for the PS5 in some years.
"Complaint: Whats stopping me from emulating these games?
Answer: If you had never bought these games legitemetely, then thats piracy, also no leaderboards or challenges."
Also yes, I have read it now. He has good truth.
But again, superior ports compared to Aniversary Collection.
It's not piracy.
The cartridges those games are ripped form are no longer manufactured or sold.
