Now that GTAIII & GTA:VC have finally been ported, what other games that should have been on DC all along would you want next?

>>12596494The obvious choices would be ones that probably were meant to be 1st party Dreamcast titles but the ported elsewhere after Sega killed it off prematurely like...Monkey BallVirtua Fighter 4Jet Set Radio FuturePanzer Dragoon OrtaBilly HatcherGun Valkyrieetc
>>12596512>invest time in a new game/vr/ in 2026, Everybody
>>12596494Could Dreamcast handle ports of Yakuza 1 & 2? I don't see why not. Neither of them are doing anything especially fancy or demanding.
i don't understand this whole 'porting games to a platform they were never released on' thingthe reaction of literally every single person is 'huh, thats kinda neat' and then they'll go on with their lives and never think about it again

>>12596530>playing a retro game on retro hardware isn't retroWhat did he mean by this?
>>12596546Because non poorfags actually play their retro games on real retro hardware instead of slumming it with emulators so enjoy additional games for their platform of choice.
>>12596547I won't say it's impossible but seems unlikely to me because Dreamcast has half the RAM of the PS2. It already seems like a miracle that Vice City works.
>>12596494All those late NAOMI games kind of like how they did with ATOMISWAVE
>>12596559>calls others poorfags>has to rely on hackjob unofficial ports instead of playing the game on the hardware it was made forEmbarrassing.
>>12596514Appart from Monkey ball all others games will suffers huge downgrade with a Dreamcast port
>>12596584Oh it existed. Rockstar just didn't release it so fans took matters into their own hands.
>>12596598You'd be surprised what clever programming from 25 years of accumulated knowledge on the hardware's in & puts and no corporate deadlines can accomplish. Here's a VF4 tech demo someone recently made on Dreamcast.It's not playable yet but fingers crossed it can be done. https://youtu.be/fVlUsfcTIQg?si=p05Q7lYt8ht3z36U
>>12596616The game is not running at all
>>12596607Joke's on you it's made from the source code of the PC Port officially released in 2002 which makes it real retro software. Just admit you'd rather be playing Genshin Impact or Zenless Zone Zero or whatever microtransaction riddled weeb goonerslop and head back to /vg/ where you belong
>>12596514thisi yearn for the day where every single sega game on the ps2, gamecube and xbox has a homebrewed dreamcast port
>>12596627>The game is not running at allYet

>>12596632holy seethe
>>12596642>I only play real retro games on my Chinese Miyoo Mini Plus HandheldGood for you, Sport.
>>12596642Board rules allow homebrew ports from any year
>>12596616>You'd be surprised what clever programming from 25 years of accumulated knowledge on the hardware's in & puts and no corporate deadlines can accomplish. Dreamcast is basically a PC hardware extremely streamlined and easy to program for so there is little room for optimisation unlike custom based console like PS2 or 5th gen consoles
>>12596667>i have a dreamcastCool I'm sure it looks great with the Funko Pops and rest of your dusty set dressing while you stream Roblox
>>12596670Well too bad for you. We're allowed to talk about these ports and there's nothing you can do to stop us
>>12596632>Genshin Impact>Zenless Zone ZeroNever heard of these games, how do you know about them...?
>>12596680>N-No uGood one!
>>12596514>>12596640>Billy HatcherNo way you guys actually like this shit? This might be one of the gayest, faggiest, fruitiest, queerest, more homosexual games ever produced by a major company. Even toddlers would find this unbearably GAY.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpsN91jI-FE
>>12596494all the fucking Spikeouts man... there's like four different games
>>12596717>you know nothing about retro games. you’re here bc it’s trendy nowNow who's projecting, Newfriend?
>>12596514monkey ball and virtua fighter for sure, but leave the sega x titles alone, they're already home.

>>12596639These videos aren't ports in progress or "port previews," that is a misnomer. There is just a guy who is working on a very capable Dreamcast engine who has been loading models from other games into it to test and show off. It's a very cool project and I'm excited to see what kind of game they actually want to make with it, but it won't be any of the games from these "tech demos" that have been coming out lately.
>>12596661>PC hardwarenot at all>easy to program for so there is little room for optimisationjust because it's easy to program doesn't mean there's little room for improvement—just look at the PS1
Woulda gone hard.
>>12596597Oh, so you're just ignorant of what is going on in the porting scene. It's not primarily about PS2 backport hackjobs, that's just a cool curiosity that proves the Dreamcast is very capable. The ports that people are most excited to actually play are improved versions of Saturn or N64 games with enhanced T&L, 480p, 60FPS, not to mention features like online crossplay matches in Sonic R. Or OOT with more than 15 frames per second average.
>>12596494apparently these should have released on the dreamcastNinja GaidenFableHalo
>>12596851So how about Puyo Pop Fever or Thunderforce VI
>>12596723we don't talk shit about Billy Hatcher here
>>12596723Hey, show Billy Hatcher some respect
>>12596494I’m very hesitant to refer to these as ports. If they were commercially released, they’d be savaged by critics for being extremely buggy ports.
>>12596616>You'd be surprised what clever programming from 25 years of accumulated knowledge on the hardware's in & puts and no corporate deadlines can accomplish.Then it’s not a real port. Prove that you could’ve put these games on Dreamcast using circa 2001 PC hardware or GTFO.
>>12596559>Physical hardware fags enjoy more games people who emulateHuh?
>>12597229Probably somewhat true. Just look at the handheld general. They spend countless hours setting up their front-ends and tweaking emulator settings. I wonder how many games they actually end up playing.
>>12596494I’ve seen /vr/ shitpost about these so called ports plenty of times, but I’ve never once seen any proof that anyone on this board has personally played them on actual Dreamcast hardware.
>>12597235The people who post here wouldn't know how to compile an up to date version of any of these ports anyway, and will probably end up judging some ancient buggy test version that shouldn't exist.

>>12596735Nigga get a new shelf.
>>12596494Supposedly, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex began life as a Dreamcast game, so that one.
>>12596494Sonic The Fighters port
>>12596735well that's one way to prove him right
>>12597484>Simpsons Hit and RunSomebody was working on porting this, at least, last heard from two or three months ago.
>>12596735Your shelves have scoliosis.

>>12596876>Ninja GaidenFuck, I wish they did that
>>12596876halo is a hard one to pin down, because it changes a lot during development, it started as an RTS, was planned at various points to have versions of DC, PS2, Windows, and Macintosh, and only really went full xbox because microsoft needed some launch titles so bought bungie.it was a different game around when dreamcast was a target, i'm not sure DC and PS2 were even targets by the time was being finished off, near the end aiming to be a Mac exclusive with a Win version a bit lateri guess MS saw macworld '99 and thought that'll do for their directX BOX project
>>12599672-- oh and Oni was being developed around the same time, the fact that only got a PS2 release suggests Halo on dreamcast was pretty unlikely to have happened even without microsoft getting involved, Halo was already scaled back for the xbox (it was an open world game before 2001)
>>12599251It will be in 6 months. Feel old yet?
>>12600085"20 years old" != "retro". but no, the xbox 360 being over 20 years old makes me feel older than the wii being over 20 years old (soon). the wii hardware wise is likeif the gamecube came out a year after the xbox instead, basically the same thing but just bit more. a bit more megahertz, a bit more ram... identical otherwise
