Could a port of Ape Escape save the Dreamcast and Sega of America?
>>12568668how the fuck would you port a dualshock tech demo to the dreamcast
>>12568693Solid point, but that's not what Op is asking. He's asking if porting it to Dreamcast would have saved the Dreamcast and Sega of America. Let's try to stay on topic.
>>12568703it wouldn't have saved it because the game would be unplayable with the dreamcast controller
this board is so ass man
No, but it would have saved your mom's ass from my cock, because I'd have been too busy catching monkeys in the game and wouldn't have time to cuck your dad
>>12568668Nah Pong would have saved the dreamcast. And the saturn, and the jaguar, 3do etc
>>12568706Could Sega have made a dual analog stick controller (which is standard now) back then? Imagine the possibilities...
>>12568706>>12568724You guys just need to think bigger. A special DualCast controller for playing Ape Escape.
>>12567363How many of these threads do we need on the catalog?
>>12568693Not quite the gotcha you were hoping for considering they ported it to the PSP.
>>12569261>Ape Escape: On the Loose received "mixed or average reviews" according to Metacritic, based on 35 critics.[33] Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot lamented the loss of the "finely tuned control" of the original, but felt that the game "still has considerable charm".[25] GameSpy's David Chapman felt that, despite the noticeable flaws of the game, particularly the controls, it still remains "a lot of fun to play".[35] Juan Castro of IGN praised the game's use of colour, noting its enhancement on the PlayStation Portable screen. Castro also warned that "fans of the series will probably miss the second analog stick", but felt that the gadgets mapped to the PSP's face buttons would suffice.[36] 1Up.com's Jeremy Parish criticised the porting of the game for being outdated, declaring it "a game that was better in another time, on another system, ported simply for cynical convenience".[34] Parish felt that On the Loose served "to blemish the PSP's reputation ... as a dumping ground for warmed over 32-bit offerings far beyond their sell-by date".[34]
>>12569137My estimate is that currently at the very least 33% of the threads on /vr/ are by the same one shitposter
Nah but it could have saved the snes
Good thread. Dreamcast-hating Nintoddlers will cry about anything that isn't Nintendo though.
>>12568668Step1: disassemble ape Escape Step2: reassemble it for the Dreamcast Step3: find a time machine Step4: Go back and invent the Dreamcast dual cast controller Step5: hand over the controller, prototype and ape Escape prototype to the president of Sega of America Gentleman this is how we save the world.
>>12568706The game would've been pirate a ted instantly too
>>12570828sega of america would have vetoed it and you'd end up with ape escape for the saturn instead
>saturn hardware was so shitty that sega had to create another console that could actually handle most 5th gen games right at the end of that gen
>>12571025>another console that could actually handle most 5th gen gamesYeah, and they looked 500x better than the gen 5 versions so it's all good.
