rotating items break your immersion. Wtf

Awesome video

18:35 The European version of Dino Crsis runs at 480P, and I think it has VGA box functionality.

It amazes me how people argue that disc-rot isn't a real thing and just something made up by "industry people trying to stop us from owning games." Also, Sonic Adventure was the last Sonic game I ever bought for a new console. I despised the game, lol. I loved Sonic, but when he started going off screen and I had to dodge stuff? Just kind of annoyed me too much. I had a good number of these games on Dreamcast, but back in the day I had no way to play my Dreamcast anymore so I gave it and all my games to a friend. Then I found Retrotink later. :( So much regret but at least he was playing it with his kids and stuff.

The D-pad is actually really good, you just have to get used to it.

I can easily guess the age of content creators when they say : “it sales were not strong enough for Sega to continue”

The D-Pad is like the Genesis 1, Great for 2D Fighters like SF3, hell even VF3TB.

14:35 SEGA Rally 2 has two graphics modes actually It has a performance mode as well which takes some things away and some effects away to maintain a more stable Frame-rate It's a combination of button presses at the start screen, after ya do them, you will hear a chime and then hit start and the graphics should be a bit lowered to maintain a higher Frame-rate 😅

All of Fumito Ueda's games are classics but I've always loved ICO the most , I bought It on launch day In 2001 and Immediately knew It was special and still Is , the melancholic dreamlike atmosphere Is surreal and arguably more potent than any other game I've ever played.

I love the Dreamcast, my first console purchased from my own, saved up hard work. It blew everything at the time out the water.

The Dreamcast footage is a little washed out, try to calibrate the black levels so black looks black and not dark grey. Aso the Code Veronica footage looks more colorful, with better contrast on Ps2, maybe because black level on the Dreamcast footage is not set properly.

First console to have Hall effects thumb sticks.

Thank you for making this video dude! I still play PS3 to this day on a regular basis. Thank you for giving the PS3 some love it deserves even after all these years. It really was the best time for gaming for everyone PS and Xbox alike. The pure variety of games, exclusives on both ends and the push on graphics and mechanics. In my personal opinion FF13 is by far the best looking game on that generation.

I think the best thing you can do for a Dreamcast, these days, is install an optical drive emulator. You may not want to do this with your childhood Dreamcast, for sentimental reasons, but the Dreamcast isn't as insanely priced in the collector market as the PS2. You should be able to acquire a second hand Dreamcast to mod. All that said, of course, emulation is a thing, and we live in a world where the NVidia Shield TV exists. Probably the perfect Dreamcast emulation device. If you don't want to perform surgery on a Dreamcast, emulating it on the Shield TV is perfectly acceptable.

Another great video from a era that I have skipped. It's good to know more of consoles that I did not have the opportunity to play at the time.

hearing all this makes me feel bad that it failed.

At the time the dreamcast was literally out of this world, a super computer or something, but is funny how when the ps2 got launch the dreamcast graphics got old and it´s games too, the ps2 games that came on blue CDs look like dreamcast games, but the DVD games looks far superior in textures and effects, on the hardware aspect the dreamcast look good but when you play it you can see that it was a rushed console, the saturn feels way better, the dreamcast controller is HORRIBLE, and feels cheap, the console is very noisy, everybody thought they got a failed unit cause the natural sound of the disc drive, as a console is a good console but it came too late, it might have survived but needed more marketing, better games and maybe a 2.0 version to really compete against the gamecube, ps2 and xbox

i was WAY too happy to spend hours with soul calibur on dreamcast. i bought the dreamcast used for 50 bucks and soul calibur from gamestop for 3.50. i wish i were joking. the used market for dreamcasts was just amazing for a short time yes, i still have them

While I waited for the GameCube to release the Dreamcast was on its way out. I decided to buy the Dreamcast to hold me over and found it on sale for $99. Bought Powerstone 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 to go with it. WONDERFUL decision. I loved the Dreamcast.

I adored my DC, was like having an arcade at home for the first time

Ótimo vídeo! E parabéns pelo RT4K. No momento estou usando o cabo componente da RetroCablesGamingUK e uma Sony Wega FS-140

Marvel vs Capcom 2 NEEDS to be remade. Such a great cast of fighters. Super fluid. Tons of stuff to unlock. Heck, just port it to the switch.

Twice Sony took the lead of game consoles because of movies not the games or hardware. Dreamcast in game play was as good or better than ps2 cutscenes. Really a shame. To be fair though Blu-ray players were really bad in general about updates which Sony was very good about. Spending 400 on a Blu-ray player then having to wait for the company to push an update so you can play a new movie was ridiculous. Ps3 really just as a Blu-ray player was a better buy than many dedicated players of the era it supported most features and had frequent updates.

i own a lot of console and used a lot of controller for me nothing beats the dreamcast dpad. best for fighting games.

It was crazy how much more advanced it was than other hardware when it launched in Japan in 1998. Shame they didn’t manage to make it a world wide launch as early as then

Mano, ótimo vídeo e parabéns pelo excelente inglês. Me incomoda um pouco o fato de vc e eu termos níveis de inglês bem parecidos, mas eu deveria estar melhor, pq tô morando no exterior faz 5 anos 😅 Infelizmente meu Dreamcast morreu 2 vezes, na primeira troquei o leitor do laser na Tectoy, na segunda foi o mesmo problema, aí decidi que não compensava $$$ trocar o leitor de novo. Tenho ele até hoje na caixa, deixei na casa dos meus pais aí em São Paulo... Enfim, boas lembranças...

Your knowledge and analysis on legacy games and audio-visual electronics always impresses me. I had a Dreamcast that I loved, but I lived in an area where it seemed like games for the Dreamcast were almost never available. Even the rental places rarely got titles in. It was an absolute shame because the games that did get released looked awesome back in the day. I hope that everything is going well. I have been watching some of your lives with Elder Ring. When you were over three hours into the battle with Malenia and your wife was watching and wanting to start her Friday night, I was empathizing with you. lol We've all been there.

The GameCare's adaptor is a variant of the GBS Control.

I got a Dreamcast, played Code Veronica and MvC2 on it. They're still better ports than the PS2.

I had a signed Dreamcast by Yu Suzuki and my ex wife sold it at a yard sale....

PS2 video output was always terrible. The worst if its generation. It also had the deepest game library of its generation so I guess it balances out. Multiplats are way better on Xbox though.

Good to see the pixels. There are several Sega fanboys showing bullshots (with 8xAA or more) claiming that they were real time, but in fact it's an 480p image and has a lot of aliasing. Nothing wrong with that.

Dreamcast games always seem to clean up so much better than PS2 as well. PS2 never supported progressive scan output either.

I was a sea kid through and through, but sega lost its way during the Saturn generation. If they sega had released the a 2d sonic game on release with all of the other japan games. The Saturn may of lasted a lot longer giving the Dreamcast more time while rebuilding trust.

Title says dremcast

@2:48 Really? Funny considering the Dreamcast was dead well before PS2 XBOX or even GC came out and only had a run for about two years. Also the DC lost because of the original Playstation.

!

Playing music from FF 10 at your wedding is peak man!

If anyone interested with how the games look with CRT, checkout ShaderGlass (i would put link here if not YT will mark it as spam)

Ready 2 Rumble and Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 have great facial features and crisper graphics compared to the blurry ps2 version. Not only that but you can beat up that Nasty Blonde Hair Demon in the game that ran for President in 2016. The one that is still crying about how they really Won and is doing nothing to unite the Country but pushes for division. That little monster.

LOVE DREAMCAST !!!❤❤❤

Dreamcast to me is the best home console ever , it gave you that real japanese arcade feeling , i never had one but it was on top of my list i owned a Game Boy , NES , SNES , but wanted a Dreamcast so bad sad it failured🎉

WTF is a DREMCAST? Change your title and learn how to spell. Just kidding, we all make mistakes

Thank God for emulation

I wanted a Dreamcast when it was released but I had lost faith in Sega. The short life of the Sega CD, 32X and Saturn in Europe meant I didn’t want to take the risk on the Dreamcast. I bought one a few months ago so now finally own one. It’s as good as I thought it would be and love it.

I remember when the PS2 came out. Everyone was buying it because it had a DVD player.

The BOTW Shrek boss lol I love that video

That consoles a gem. I wish I still had mine 🤦🏿‍♂️

Dreamcast is also the signature console of Chad Warden's sidekick Anthony Perez.
