I am tired of pretending the Dreamcast was a bad console. It was fucking awesome.>Great exclusives and arcade ports>Insane graphics at the time (DOA. Shenmue)>PS1 ports looked and played way better>First console with online play>VMU was the coolest memory card ever with fun mini games. >Fantastic emulationFuck anyone trashing this console. You weren't there when it came out. YOU WERE NOT THERE, FUCK YOU.
>>12801642I have a Dreamcast buts a bad console with a shit library, especially if you think it’s a 6th gen console.
>>12801642>>12801646The Dreamcast ultimately does not care what you think of it, it knows what it is and is unashamed of it.That is the appeal of Dreamcast. By the timing of its release it was of course going to share many titles with PS1 and N64. These games were of course going to be significantly sharper and more beautiful on DC. You also see many full fledged PC games which were undeniably a leap ahead of consoles at the time, having went through several 3D generations at that point and the DC was delivering. By the end of its run it was locked into compete with the early titles on PS2 but obviously cut short.I don't think it would have been the strongest competitor to PS2, PS2 is obviously a more capable box. The point is it was there and ready and already laid the foundation of what to expect from the generational leap.
I was there. And I bed to differ.>Great exclusives and arcade portsMediocre 3D Sonic, 5 years too late. Second rate ports of second rate arcade titles (VF3 was piss poor). Big whoop, another Resident Evil. The best game on the console was from their biggest rival Namco and absolutely schooled Sega in how to do it right. PSO was awesome.... until the definitive version came out on a rival console only 2 years later with split screen coop and 4 players natively >Insane graphics at the time (DOA. Shenmue)Good but not the step change from PS1 that would've made a difference >PS1 ports looked and played way betterno shit Sherlock. not much a selling point to brag about >First console with online playon dial-up copper telephone cables. awesome but again, not exactly a killer application and utilised effectively for only 1 game >VMU was the coolest memory card ever with fun mini games.VMU was a colossal waste of money both for the consumer and manufacturer >Fantastic emulationum it was nicely architected hardware but just not next gen enough for its time or its intended audience (people who wanted to play amazing open world and MMO PC titles on a console)
>>12801671>Good but not the step change from PS1 that would've made a differenceFuck off and stop larping Soul Calibur on Dreamcast was insane and on top of that it looked way better than the arcade original.
>>12801664If Dreamcast could actually bring sega into the 6th gen its library wouldn’t consist of arcade ports and 5th gen multiplats
Are the people calling it bad trying to get me to change my mind or just calling me retarded for defending it so hard?
>>12801680What a useless and pointless reply. Sega ran out of money so they announced it was finished prematurely and developers cancelled all their projects.
>>12801689NAOMI and Atomiswave got games way into the late 2000s
>>12801689>sega ran out of money so it couldn’t deliver good gamesWow what an amazing system and company!
>>12801696What a useless and pointless reply.
>>12801704Usually when people get owned they tend not to want to revisit the conversation that got them owned.
>>12801709What a useless and pointless reply. Your narrative failed, what do you do now?
>>12801695The problem is the Dreamcast was based on the original NAOMI chipset. The NAOMI 2 would’ve been a lot more comparable in power to the main three sixth gen consoles.
>>12801712>>12801704>>12801689Cope lol
>>12801642>PS1 ports looked and played way betterHum they look better but that doesn't mean they play better thanks to Dreamcast controller lack of buttons You can't use R1/L1 tu turn the camera in Soul reaver Dreamcast you need to use the D-pad to move the camera it's clunky af,Soul reaver PS1 is much more ergonomicTomb raider 4 and 5 are even worse,you use the Digital pad for walking and strafing, while the Analog is used for 360º movement and running. But the controls are very touchy. One minimal error and you are completely of track
>>12801750It's true, it's not clear cut across the board. Toy Story 2 is another one that's infamously bad on DC with polygons jumping in and out of existence, terrible controls and jank aplenty. PS1 version is definitive here.It also goes to show how important the lead consoles are, one can have a more powerful box but it can suddenly matter very little because the developers are focusing on the box that reaches the most customers or the tools aren't well rounded enough or even the controller doesn't get as much fine tuning.
>>12801642>Great exclusives and arcade portsNo much stayed exclusive to the DC lol
