Seeing Soul Calibur for the first time in a store must have been the most impressed I ever was by a jump in graphic fidelity.
>>12464342Yeah no, still looks like a 5th gen game
>>12464343It absolutely didn't.
Ignore the "Dreamcast is a 5th gen console" shitposter. He appears every time the Dreamcast is mentioned in one way or anotherThe Dreamcast is definitely not a 5th gen console considering it outputs 480p
>>12464349The Wii is definetely not a 7th gen console considering it does not support HD
>>12464348Bloody roar 2 is not that far off
"Yeah, this basically looks like real life. Can't get much better than this." -12 year old me
>>12464356>Wi-Fi>WiiConnect24>digital games>DLC>not a 7th gen console
It's a nice looking game, the sound quality is so bad lol.
>>12464361Oh yeah DLC and online were very proeminent in the Wii ... And that stuff was never ever present in the Xbox. ..The "Dreamcast being 6G" fallacy became more and more absurd as time goes on
Is it the prettiest game of its time? Maybe idk. After all, DoA 2 came out a few months later.
>>12464342I owned (still do) Soul Calibur II on PS2, that game looked absolutely incredible and still does. Couldn't even believe what I was playing at the time.
>>12464370I remember all the dlc fighters in Smash brawl oh wait....
>>12464342Honestly it just looked like more anime nonsense, but seeing NFL2K on one of these babies for the first time was insane and I wasn't even a sports fan.
Dreamcast hardware is basically a mid pc from the late 90's PC gaming were far above what the Dreamcast can produce (look at Quack 3 Dreamcast framerate)On arcade you have later sega model 3 games and especially the Hikaru which completely destroy the Dreamcast In 1996 you have Virtua fighter 3 released in arcade ,a far more impressive game for it's time than Soulcalibur was The "biggest graphical jump" of the Dreamcast is a fallacy invented by Sega fanboys and zoomers
>>12464425The admission that PC games could have looked like Dreamcast games in the late 90s if they had competent devs on the platform.
STOP LIKING SEGAHATE SEGASEGA IS BAD
>>12464434Sega games are good Sega hardware console are bad (appart from Megadrive a very well thought out console)The 2 times where Sega released an hardware at the same time as their main competitors (SG1000 and Saturn),they get completely obliteraded
https://youtu.be/we7CU8aE_4E?si=06AW7xrw7lMhyDRy the power of the Dreamcast !!! And that's considered a very good port
>>12464441Genesis was so good it needed life support
>>12464441The only questionable hardware aside from the 32X was the Saturn but in hindsight it was great. Nintendo on the other hand fucked shit up with the N64 and the SNES had processor issues.
>>12464461Nah there are tons of problem with master system hardware like no mappers ,it's shitty audio or the pause button (what were they thinking !!!)There is a 2 year gap between famicom and Master system and a 2 years gap between master system and PC engine and yet graphically there is a far bigger gap with the PC engine than the Famicom Saturn is just a bad jokeDreamcast was just a cheap PC based console with a shitty CPU and extremely limited RAM even for the timePS2 mog it extremely hard and it released only 1 years and 3 months afterThe PS2 is arguably superior to the GameCube and Xbox despite the larger time gap thanks to it's fantastic CPU and bandwidthFamicom,PC engine,PS1,PS2 that's what i call fantastic hardware ahead of it's time
>>12464479>The PS2 is arguably superior to the GameCube and XboxGameCube is arguableBut the PS2's hardware being more powerful than the Xbox's? Are you joking?
>>12464482Better CPU, much better bandwidth,better pixel fillrate...Yes there is a debate ,a game like Shadow of the Colossus could never work on Xbox
Silent hill 2 and 4 =port to XboxSilent Hill 3=no portWeird wasn't it?It seem like the Xbox couldn't handle SH3...
>>12464479Ehh pause button not on the controller is probably the biggest flaw but that was still normal back then. The Master System has better graphics and is considerable more powerful than the NES but what you're leaving out is that NEC was like the largest computer company in Japan at the time so they had an advantage in producing affordable hardware. Just like Sony next gen. PCE was not very ahead of it's time either, it was cool, I love it but it was an overclocked NES with 2 graphics chips. Not that there is anything at all wrong with that, but I wouldn't say it was ahead of it's time.The Saturn was more powerful than the PS1 but the thing is that it was designed as a 2D console which honestly would have been great. It still had the 2D capabilities but nowadays a real beefy mass marketed 2D system like the Neo Geo would have been amazing. Also the Dreamcast is not as powerful as the PS2 but early PS2 games look like shit and the DC has features like anti-aliasing and the simple architecture makes it easy to program for and cheap. I say all this as a PS2 owner.
>>12464492>The Saturn was more powerful than the PS1It wasn't though
>>12464492>>The Saturn was more powerful than the PS1The only times it beats the PS1 is with an additional RAM cartridge
>>12464342Same for me but with Sonic Adventure. The Dreamcast was amazing back then
>>12464492>The Master System has better graphics and is considerable more powerful than the NESFrankly there isn't that big of a gap>PCE was not very ahead of it's time eitherOh yes it is, better CPU than the SNES and better colors than the Megadrive+evolutionary console with the first cd add on and ram expansion>The Saturn was more powerful than the PS1HAHAHAHAHAMuch better CPU,alpha blending,continuous RAM,better video compression...The Saturn is one of the worst designed console of all time,even for 2D it's not that good and can't push as many sprite as the PS1 thanks to it's weak CPU >but early PS2 games look like shit and the DC has features like anti-aliasing and the simple architecture makes it easy to program for and cheapFF10 and MGS2 mog hard the Dreamcast The Dreamcast is easy to program for because it's a discount PCIt's not a brillant hardware I suggest you to quit because you don't seem to know what your talking about (and listen to expert on hardware rather than random youtuber)
>>12464519>Much better CPU,alpha blending,continuous RAM,better video compression...>The Saturn is one of the worst designed console of all time,even for 2D it's not that good and can't push as many sprite as the PS1 thanks to it's weak CPUHuh? The Saturn can do like 4 times as many sprites on screen. The processor in the Saturn is almost as good as the one in the PS1 but it has 2, it can handle much more operations per second across the board.
>>12464560Really dude stop your embarassing yourself
>>12464491now do it again but with FIFA2001
>>12464482It's the PS2schizo, anon. Don't bother replying to him.
>>12464343>still looksYou're a special kind of illiterate.
>>12464342There never wuz a DC with soul in store showing but I member shadow man wuz there but twas NT seaga
PS2 is fifth gen>Official Xbox Magazine December 2001>Us: Do you think that PS2 is starting to look dated?>Him: Yes. The PlayStation 2 already belongs to another [previous] generation.>In terms of power, the Xbox seems approximately three to five times more powerful than the PlayStation 2.
>>12465581Itagaki was the successful version of Kenji Eno.
>>12464342The only game that looked better than arcade counterpart.
>>12465607The arcade version was made on a budget machine that was essentially a beefed up PlayStation. Embarrassing that the Dreamcast port is only marginally better.
Anyone want to play?
>>12465617>only marginally betterOnly if you're blind.
>>12465581You were taken from us too soon, Pizza Face.;_;
>>12464342>highest-rated video game of all time>literally solely Westerners cheering that consoles finally reached a point where they definitively conquered arcadesGame is good at best but sadly the series itself nosedived when they resorted to guest characters.
>>12464342Yeah, it was something else. Shenmue was even more impressive at the time, IMO.
>>12464359That was my take the first time I saw digitized sprites in Pit Fighter lol. That shit looks REAL!
>>12465258I believe you meant "unobservant"
>>12464343Not even close.
>>12464370Which playstation was it again that stole all of the sales from the dreamcast?
>>12467972>Which playstation was it again that stole all of the sales from the dreamcast?PS1
>>12464356>>12464361Wtf even cares? Generations are just made-up organizational tools to help us talk about consoles. They don't actually imply anything about the consoles themselves, besides when they came out.
>>12468081>Wtf even cares?The moderation of this board apparently, since we're not allowed to talk about 7th gen games
>>12467972One who looks like this
for me, the biggest jump within a single console gen was seeing Tekken 3 after Tekken 2, at least for 3D.
It's 6th to me and that's the only person whose opinion matters
>>12464343You're out of your mind. It's a 6th gen game on a 6th gen console. Soul Calibur was arcade perfect on Dreamcast. It wouldn't look as good on a N64 or PS1.
>>12468360>arcade perfectIt's better than arcade perfect. The arcade version's hardware is practically just a roided up PS1. The DC version looks a generation ahead
>>12468341I recently learnt the Dreamcast controller didn't have built in rumble.
>>12464342>Soul Calibur must have been the most impressed I ever was by a jump in graphic fidelity.Its what it is. Ever since SC1 graphical fidelity in 3D games has been so incremental. Its like watching a snail trying to climb the vatican steps. Blame nVidia for that.
I have never been impressed by 3D graphics.
>>12464420>This retard thinks generic yearly sports garbage looks better than the granddaddy of an an entire 3D fighting genre that revolutionizedHorrific taste. If you said something like NFL Blitz , you'd still be wrong but at least you wouldn't out yourself as a tasteless retard.
Many commenters itt were not around for this. It was huge for a home system to look like this. Absolute banger.
>>12464450I feel like DC could have run that at 60FPS. Am I crazy?
>>12464420I'm 90% sure this is bait, but in the event that it isn't, I genuinely hope you kill yourself at some point.
>>12464342I saw it in the arcade first.
>>12464342for me it was DOA2 sex for Dreamcast.2D graphix, it was probably some VGA adventure game like The Legend of Kyrandia.
>>12464430>PC games could have looked like Dreamcast games in the late 90s if they had competent devsIF they had anime designers who were not gay.
>>12464441>Megadrive a very well thought out consoleSega Master Sys would have beaten Famicom/NES if not for Nintendo mafia TBQH
>>12464450>power of the Dreamcast !!!>>12468761its a good port but potato PCs of the late 90s and early 2000s can already do Q3 Arena Demo at 60fps at 480p. FPS ports to consoles were mid at best.
>>12464560Why would you engage anon. It's a retarded person.
>>12464343>numeric generation nonsensekys zoom
