[@lordgasman9099]

Was both surprised and unsurprised to see you mentioned in this video. By far my favorite gaming KZbinr.

[@chaxus]

The Vaporwave really got me, Good Job PG. You've bested me.

[@Refract404]

same fam

[@kristopherb8046]

I have to say that this was the best Dreamcast dedication video I have ever watched an I have watched thousands.I really appreciate what you have done here.Your video was very well put together, you sir have definitely earned my subscription.Oh an we will always keep dreaming,SEGA fan till the day I die have a nice day.

[@PGunnii]

+Kristopher B thank you so much man holy fuck this is one of the nicest things I could have read. I put blood, sweat, and tears into this one so it's good to know that it's a favorite amongst dc fans.

[@Alienshroom]

I totally agree though I would have mentioned Skies of Arcadia. Great vid!

[@Ainigma]

@PGunnii I agree with Kristopher. Splendid job!!

[@devin8577]

I'm sure people have left comments about this, but the Sega Saturn outsold the N64 in Japan; the reason it shows up in Shenmue is because it was a beloved console there (the Dreamcast actually struggled in Japan, so this loving nod might have helped new Dreamcast owners feel more at home after owning a Saturn), with over 1000 games known to have been released.

[@marcosmederos2745]

Honestly, I believe that the Sega Dreamcast was the greatest advancement in gaming history. The Dreamcast revolutionized consoles, using hardware and it's own network that easily outclassed the competition.

[@KingRey.]

Wow, I just stumbled upon your work, top notch stuff. You deserve far more recognition. Keep up the great work! Subscribed! I would love to collab in the future.

[@Mister_Awsum]

I subscribed the fucking minute you said Shenmue! I love you and good job!!!

[@astrobstrd]

Hey man, I found this video through your thread on FP, and over the course of the past few days went through your entire channel. Your Crash videos are absolutely amazing and this one is such a great, well fleshed out love letter to my favorite console I never owned. Seriously man, I've still got an obsession with this console and I can't say I ever OWNED one as a kid. You've got a passion, and it's really nice to hear unbridled enthusiasm about gaming, and I feel like you harbor a lot of the feelings I have about certain games as well. Can't wait to see what you put out next!

[@iluvcamaros1912]

I'm 26 so during the late 90s I was a kid playing Dino Crisis, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro on my PS1. I feel bad for the more mature gamers who invested in the Dreamcast. I'm a huge fan of the RE series and I played Code Veronica on my Gamecube (purchased second hand just for the RE series). CV was a Dreamcast exclusive at first and when I played through the game long after the death of the Dreamcast I tried to consciously compare it to the PS1 -- I envy anyone who played RE:CV when it was new! Very comparable to almost all early PS2/Xbox games. Had to be mind-blowing in 2000. Sega just screwed itself with the awful CD/32X/Saturn combo. They alienated consumers and 3rd party developers at the same time the Playstation was blooming into existence. The Dreamcast was too little, too late.

[@PGunnii]

+iluvcamaros basically this :( agreed. Always glad to see more people from my specific generation. Somehow it always felt like the community was either far older or younger than me. So it's always nice to see someone with nearly my exact upbringing.

[@iluvcamaros1912]

My personal console history is SNES, PS1, GBC, GBA, Xbox, Xbox 360 - and then nothing because I'm working and shit. Also a few PC games in between. But I had a cousin who had both a Genesis and a GAMEGEAR! I have distinct and fond memories of both. But I like this video because it isn't some gamer talking into a webcam in front of his prized epic collection of video games and anime. It's the actual console history combined with the actual gameplay footage. PS: and of course I also have my 2nd hand GC for just the RE series. The console I laughed at as a teenager is the only one currently with me today :)

[@Peanut_Arbuckle]

I've had my Dreamcast for 16 years, and it still works like a charm. Such a great system.

[@hecku]

dude,i can't express how fucking great this video was,this is one of my favorite videos of yours alongside the animal crossing one

[@datguyuno98]

I don't know if I'm just a sucker for happy endings but the whole reactions to Shenmue 3 put a huge smile on my face, thanks for that man, you've got one new subscriber

[@Zakumei]

Got here from Anonym00se he gave you a shout. gotta say, wasnt disappointed. your content is premium. i had heard of the Dreamcast before but never actually seen one, played one or even knew what games were available on it. this is a little sad to hear that this console commercially flopped, since that means we arent seeing a more modern Sega produced console in the mix of the nintendo, xbox, playstation and PC, quatrafecta, when clearly there was great potential for it. rest in peace Dreamcast. The Picasso or Van Gough of your time. *droopy bagpipes*

[@UnoriginanComedial]

How do you have only 3.7K when your videos look like THIS? Like seriously, your production quality is insane. (and you're funny too!) Best of luck in the future, PG. I can't wait until you're one of the biggest video game reviewers on youtube.

[@gamecreaterdude13]

Nice vaporwave outro lmao. Production quality is A1! New subscriber most def.

[@storino03]

These videos would have been great 10-15 years ago, but now they are a dime a dozen with different people doing it slightly different from the rest. I approve!

[@moetophat8976]

Nice to see you and your videos back. They are truly one of a kind.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

I was still playing the Dreamcast while everyone was playing the PS2.

[@ThatKidYouKnow27]

Sick outro. Damnit. Great video man.

[@Trollisms]

Good work on the video. Great as always. Keep up the amazing work!

[@DONKINDONUTS]

Epic as usual, mah man PG. The way you described the irc chat feature, coupled with the text log there was priceless. Also when you talked about Crazy Taxi I got a huge smile on my face - I love that game! S ranked all the challenge levels and everything! That was, of course, on the Xbox 360 version a while back, but my earliest memories of the game were way back on my uncle's gamecube. I used to play the hell out of that with my younger cousin, taking turns and switching every time one of us ran out of time. Also, the game has a surprisingly in-depth move system. There's a+b drifting, instant stopping, perfect boosting, and even has the glitch "drift-into-the-wall-and-jam-yourself-against-it-racking-up-huge-tips" move.

[@PGunnii]

+DONKIN' .DONUTS I'm gonna go back to Crazy Taxi and try these now because stopping to get passengers was nearly fucking impossible

[@DONKINDONUTS]

I hear ya' man. Before I really got into it I found it extremely hard, too.

[@crossveilkyt]

Aww sweet, a new PGunnii vid. Man the dreamcast was and will forever be my console. I miss the commercials and just everything. Keep dreaming, PGunnii.

[@BlitzvogelMobius]

I love the late 90s for game consoles and rendering systems, because there were so many changes. The Dreamcast was arguably the first 3D console to effectively be PC derived or aligned in the "PC way" of handling things, at least for the time period. The SH-4 processor's vector SIMD coprocessor acted as the geometry transform & lighting engine, with the PowerVR graphics chip working in the same manner as a pre-GPU graphics accelerator, handling rasterization, texturing/pixel combining and outputs. Furthermore, the Dreamcast supported a number of hardware rendering features including texture compression, single pass multitexturing, bump & normal mapping, tiled rendering, and other now staple technologies that ironically the Playstation 2 did not (it could in software however......). Having support for Windows CE, including DirectX 6 compatibility, further pushes how PC like the Dreamcast was. What the PS2 did right, was how sheer beastly it was, and the fact that developers could do pretty much whatever they wanted within certain limitations and if they had the patience (and budgets) to reach for it. The PS2 both on paper, and when fully grasped by developers was leagues more capable. Had the SH-4 been clocked at 300 MHz instead of 200, (and the GPU at 150) I think Dreamcast would've been able to much better bridge the graphical gap between the two systems. The PS2's 300 MHz Emotion Engine, despite being equipped with a 64 bit FPU and two 128-bit wide vector SIMD engines, was configured to only use one for graphics (it was setup for handling geometry, lighting, T&L then shooting off display lists to a "graphics accelerator" just like the Dreamcast and 90s PCs). Devs flat out usually skipped using the other Vector Unit altogether because of it's hamfisted implementation. In this scenario, the SH-4's single 64 bit wide FPU and single 128-bit wide vector SIMD unit at 300 MHz would've been akin to what most PS2 developers were using on the Playstation 2.

[@itsgood2slide]

The Shenmue 3 announcement and reaction footage brought tears to my eyes. I agree with your choice of the three defining games too. Great video!

[@haryman222]

Great video man! I'm hyped for the next one!

[@obviouslyninnus]

I like how you showed Funhaus's video in the "These videos showes the love for the game" part, when in reality they were being sarcastic as fuck about it.@ 13:07

[@VineBiter]

Please tell how you don't have 1mill subs... Keep up the good work dude! Ps. Luv ya fam

[@RetroAllianceGaming]

Awesome video! this motivates me to do better! you sir gained a new subsciber! I love the dreamcast!! i do lots of hd videos with scart though hdmi up-conversion. I bought an atlona upconverter. The Dreamcast looks amazing on a hdtv. Best system ever!

[@BFKAnthony817]

Subbing! That was amazing! Keep it up I hope your channel keeps getting bigger!

[@EvilCapitalisto]

You earned my like solely because of your amazing editing, but you earned my sub with the amazing video!

[@Educationey]

*Has same reaction to new Pgunni video as those people had to Shenmue III*

[@adepressedavacado]

+Educationey rip shenmue

[@hecku]

rip pgunni

[@SianaGearz]

What. Shenmue production is well on course. We get a constant stream of backer updates with fresh screenshots.

[@jamalkherry5296]

Underrated vid, console, channel.

[@paladin3622]

it was great seeing you talk about this console that needs more attention thanks

[@Diablokiller999]

I think the dedication to Dreamcast sums up with the end of an era in gaming. The Dreamcast was the last console before gaming went fully mainstream with the PS2, XBOX and GameCube. Dreamcast just has this weird 90s attitude and is not shy to demand something from the player. It's an edgy conole with edgy games that bleed passion.I miss the old SEGA and this type of games, back then the videogame world was nerdier and not for everyone.

[@josemiranda3378]

Great video. Unfortunately my Dreamcast broke a few years ago and is almost impossible to find an affordable working one nowadays, at least from where I'm from.

[@felipenachmanowicz9393]

Dude, Panzer Dragoon Saga was fully voiced ;)

[@TheIsolatedGamerz]

Very good video dude. Well put together

[@chaxus]

Nice subtle hints on the next video. Can't wait to see it.

[@chaxus]

+[Chaxus] You should also make a video about Neon Genesis. Gloat about your favorite anime!

[@elitesqaudron]

next video is on SA and SA2 confirmed? I loved the troll hints throughout the video too xD well done!

[@SoulOfficer]

This was an awesome video man, you just earned a sub :3 The Dreamcast is such an incredible console, not only was it my first video game console ever and my introduction to video games, but it also was a damn great showing of it all. I personally felt like it failed because it was too good for us and it felt like it didn't it deserve to be gracing human's with it's presence...buuuuut that might just be me, lol.

[@scottpilgrim258]

Love your Scott Pilgrim volume 6 profile picture. ;) :D :3

[@SoulOfficer]

Why thank you :3

[@bruhlookatthisdude2507]

This is a fantastic piece of work. Take my sub and my body.

[@ruimagro72]

Just loved your video. Well keep on casting your dreams. Dreamcast 4 ever.

[@IchBinJager]

I had no idea about the network stuff on the Dreamcast. I never got to play it myself. Good video.

[@Useyno]

Great video the only thing you left out is the homebrew games that are still being made even today for this amazing system.

[@kingofthepluviophiles1515]

fantastic video as always my friend!! love love love your videos! also. I've never seen evangelion *covers my face to block flying items* what's so great about it??

[@Tanker4602]

It was like a dream that console, still my favourite and I really wish it had a successful life with a successor.

[@aguchamp7766]

I can't wait to get more Dreamcast games, it has to be my favorite console. I've played Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 on Dreamcast for hours, so I'd imagine my experience would only get better from there!

[@wilamanjaro]

man, pgunnii, you've just been blowin my mind with the similar thoughts and opinions of games in all your reviews. let me know if you ever wanna game or if theres anything i can do to help out dude.

[@AdamBodus]

Amazing video mate! I just shared it on my site, Dreamcast.se :) Keep it up!

[@PGunnii]

Thanks so much!!

[@beepbloop]

awesome video man! still shedding tears for my dreamcast, left outside to die in the rain [ thanx dad (-_-;) ]

[@hansliengnell3636]

So much love in this video.

[@alf_prime]

Best Dreamcast video ever, man. Couldn´t stop laughing! THANKS!

[@CineCid]

Missed your videos. Looking forward to this

[@jfitnesshealth]

dreamcast was the system that invented the triggers. also f1 racing games on dreamcast use the left right trigger system also. awesome!

[@muiscnight]

Funny their reaction to shenmue 3 was the same one I got when I got Sonic Adventure 2 for the dreamcast in 2001(Was a huge sonic fan)

[@tiagofernandes8389]

A kid talking about SEGA... The greatest videogame company of all time. SEGA & Nintendo forever...

[@ravend5595]

Thanks its a awesome vid im addicted to dreamcast videos its early 2000s edgy style its like the demon days (gorrilaz) of consoles a one of a kind a console with a soul games that showed a alternative future where all games are a piece of art weird Beautiful one of a kind

[@LightSoundGate]

I raise "Skies of Arcadia"!

[@thenoze5767]

PGunnii how THE FUCK do you have 4,416 subs?! Your videos are the greatest thing on the internet and I LITERALLY get goosebumps watching some of your videos. Your channel deserves better, man. Any way I can help?

[@PGunnii]

+T Henoze just pass it along to anyone! Thanks so much for the nice comment, I fucking love reading these.

[@thenoze5767]

PGunnii yep! Will do.

[@Terra_Hawk]

That Macintosh Plus ending though.

[@PTGKChrisHD]

If type want the Top 5 Best Selling Dreamcast Games they are Sonic Adventure, Shenmue, SoulCalibur, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, and Crazy Taxi. These games sold at least over 1 million units except for Sonic Adventure which sold over 2.5 Million Units. There are over 10 Million Dreamcast Consoles sold worldwide from 1998 to 2001

[@clarenceboddicker6679]

My Dreamcast developed a strange fault while using the high quality VGA output. After a few months the VGA video output started to not display correctly, the screen had a purple tint to it, everything looked purple. It was unfortunate for me because it meant I was forced to use the much lower quality RF output which displayed correctly but didn't look anywhere near as good.

[@neoknux009]

someone give this guy a medal!

[@marcomartins1074]

You won my subscription to your channel. Maybe I will return to the Dreamcast Scene as the "engine" I once was for things like KOS, emulator ports, and alot more!!!

[@PGunnii]

Do it! I need to see that scene stay alive as long as possible

[@hellozworld1577]

You guys know the Dreamcast still gets new Indie games

[@floydoroid]

Seriously amazing videos

[@Ben-fk2me]

Space Channel 5 deserves a comeback. I would play the shit out of it

[@donutguy1281]

I was Shenmoved by this video. Thanks

[@kennethforman5265]

[@aspiregnostic1144]

Shenmue....insanely ahead of its time.

[@GreyValkyrie]

ppl wasnt ready for the internet at that time on a dreamcast XD ps: dont you dare insult that controller

[@derpybone]

Great video mate!

[@jfitnesshealth]

anyone wondering of the song at the end its diana ross - its your move. But looked for the slowed down version lol

[@MrThugergnaut]

What song is that at 25:00 and great video btw. Dreamcast is my favorite console of all time.

[@PGunnii]

+MrThugergnaut Modern Computing by Macintosh Plus. Stupid me forgot to include the credit in the video like I intended.

[@MrThugergnaut]

+PGunnii Thank you and don't worry about it. Looking foward to checking out your other videos.

[@Captain1nsaneo]

You left out the price point the dreamcast launched at. As I recall it was the most expensive of its generation of consoles. Piracy wasn't that big of an issue as the internet wasn't ubiquitous at launch. PowerStone was fun though.

[@stezo2k]

you've earned a sub. thank you!

[@capnfedora5613]

Good job, man!

[@Jakeeenator]

This video was amazing! Thank you so much for making it. If you are interested, like Adam, I have a Dreamcast dev box and GD Rom burner. I made a video about them both and they are on my channel if you want to check them out.

[@racket_]

you forgot the best part of space channel 5 space michael jackson

[@PGunnii]

+alto • no yeah i know, but that was only in the sequel. plus i only found out about that after writing the episode :(

[@deathtape1249]

Not sure you've played the series, but would love you to make a retrospect on Phantasy Star/PSO. I'm still playing it to this day on Schthack.

[@PGunnii]

+Deathtape i definitely need to check it out. Heard so many good things. All I know is that it's been a really important title over time so I think it's worth it to give it a try. Thanks!

[@deathtape1249]

PGunnii Probably my fav Sonic Team title. Try play it online if you can with a keyboard. DC/GC/PC are all good. PSO Blueburst on Schthack is probably played most but there's loads of servers that support dreamcast. It can be a bit of bitch to connect though. Peace✌️

[@ravend5595]

Tbh love the controller its for rage play two love handles to try to rip it apart when angry thats love

great video. :) i love the dreamcast

[@LightSoundGate]

Nice video... So... I think I play some more Shenmue 2 on my Dreamcast. :D

[@asmallbabby4205]

Dreamcast was fun as hell. Sega should have incentivized the shit out of 3rd parties, get all the best-selling games as fast as possible, price reduce the console, come out with a version with a faster CD, maybe even a DVD-enabled version. It was nearly as powerful as the PS2 and twice as fun. Sega could have owned!!!

[@Dread414]

its all in your head

[@connormeade8361]

PGunnii, wheres your next video, you're still are awesome :) Even, my main internet alias (Jetsurf) took heavily from Jet Set Radio, so I owe a ton to it

[@PGunnii]

+Connor Meade Coming so soon! I promise! It's been a little rough getting this video going but it's coming for absolutely sure!

[@User-sb7py]

Can anyone tell me the song that starts at 2:00 minutes pls?

[@PGunnii]

Humming the Bassline - Hideki Naganuma. Second track off the Jet Set Radio OST!
