The console that killed Arcade gaming.
>>12574005mb wrong console
It's problably the Dreamcast with it's extremely close arcade conversion Once the arcade lost it's technological advantage it was over
>>12574017The Dreamcast’s status as bridging the gap between home and arcade is heavily overstated. It could only do faithful/superior versions of arcade games made on budget boards (SoulCalibur), aged arcade hardware (Marvel vs Capcom among other CPS II ports), or NAOMI (a Dreamcast turned into an arcade machine). All ports of arcade games originating from contemporary, moderately high-end machines were noticeably gimped (See: all the Sega Model III ports). Considering when they released, it was hardly better than the Saturn at bringing the arcade experience home.
>>12574057Nah Dreamcast wasn't on the level of Hikaru or later Sega model 3 but it was still pretty close especially for an untrained eyesThe difference between Sega model 2 and Saturn/PlayStation was hugeEven a complete casual would spot the difference between Daytona arcade and Daytona Saturn
>>12574005Nope. That was Dreamcast and the PS2.
>>12574005Thank god. Imagine paying money to play each round or to continue. I was there and absolutely hated arcades because it was expensive and felt like I was getting scammed by being forced to constantly input quarters
Famicom was the gradual killer of arcades. You couldn't have Zelda or Dragon Quest on arcades; the Famicom recontextualized to a mainstream what games could be or provide. It has nothing to do with graphics.
>>12574285Because RPGs and Adventure games didn't exist before the NES, right?
>>12574103Dreamcast killed itselfwhile PS2 killed third-world piracy
>>12574017Dude like 3 people had dreamcast, shut up
>>12574005Wrong picture
home consoles in general killed arcades
>>12574005I would argue gaming in general. PS1 and PS2 had great games. But Sony’s dominance was ultimately terrible for the video game industry. Imagine telling someone back then what the PS5 would be like. No one would believe you. The Saturn and the Dreamcast flopping was the beginning of the end.
Really, we never wanted arcades to begin with
>>12574005>The console that killed Arcade gaming.
>>12574005Actually true
>>12574523That's why I used the word mainstream. But if you want to say the Apple II ended arcades, then sure go ahead.
>>12574057Horseshit. The Dreamcast was the arcade hardware in a home console form factor. Basically what SNK was trying to achieve with the Neo Geo CD. Dreamcast was unquestionably the console that bridged the gap.
>>12574269It's called having skin in the game and raising the stakes. But you wouldn't appreciate that because you're low T.
>>12574715Go suck some more corpo cock. And make sure you tip them afterwards
>>12574285People played in arcades because arcade games were better than home consoles games.Once this premisse flipped, the result is obvious.
>>12574532one of those 3 was me
>>12574523WTF?!
>>12574005Arcade gaming was slowly dying out over the 90s as a whole because home computers and consoles kept getting stronger and more capable.Increasingly, the grandeur that an arcade machine could put on which nobody could have at home, would become more attainable to the average gamer. Arcade ports kept getting better and closer, and arcade-like games just the same, if you wanted to have the latest version of Street Fighter 2 at home by 1995-1996, then you could get a pretty damn good port of it and a second controller.So did the PSX kill arcades? Sure, in the same way that Genesis, SNES, and PC also did, it was all of the big players together over time.>>12574017Dreamcast did better than some people think (in spite of having to be retired to salvage the company), but of all of Sega's consoles to have a part in that, the Genesis had a much stronger effect in North America and Europe, and the Saturn had a stronger effect at home in Japan.>>12574709>Basically what SNK was trying to achieve with the Neo Geo CDIt's really not, because the Dreamcast was affordable and a lot more people bought it than a NeoGeo.NeoGeo was legit arcade hardware, and that made it very expensive with a small target demographic.There's some relation, but devs still had to do their share of adapting from the arcade cabinet to the console (and some of them did an excellent job).
>>12574529I had a modded PS2 pretty early on it's life. Can't remember how early exactly tho
>>12575865My understanding is that there was very little difference between NAOMI based arcade games and the Dreamcast chipset aside from extra memory for the arcade.
>>12575927That memory makes a shitload of difference.
>>12575940But in the arcade, wasn’t it just so the entire game could be loaded into memory instead of having to stream from the GD-ROM?
>>12574269h-haha yeahimagine if a game expected you to keep giving it money, in order to continue experiencing content.that would be pretty crazy
>>12574005eeeh, if we're talking '95 specifically, arcades still had a little life left in them.but by the millennium, the only reasons to go to an arcade were fighting games and DDR. that was it.
>>12574523No, they didn't exist before the PS1.
>>12574005Arcades were still a thing until Xbox 360 era. They didn’t die because of it but as a result of the explosion of social media, 2008 market crisis, and high speed internet with online gaming.
>>12574529No. Piracy Killed the Dreamcast. As for PS2, it was hardly pirated because it required a modchip, which is risky if you don't want to brick your console.

>>12576646Getting your ps2 chipped was trivial.
