@@TheL1arL1ar most of what you said is true. Most Dreamcast games though did have higher resolution and image quality compared to ps2 especially. Ps2 had a newer api and therefore a few more advanced effects. The Dreamcast however was not much weaker if at all in polygon rendering than ps2. 3-6 million on average whereas ps2 was sometimes under 3 million and sometimes slightly over the 6 million. The gap was nowhere near how large you make it out to be. Yes it was technically the weakest of the generation but each system had very different architecture. They were all interesting and none of them were bad. The ps2 had the worst image output quality of the 4 though on almost every game. Lower resolution and smallest color pallet with no AA. So each was better than one of the others at something. None were outright the best. Probably the best generation in terms of unique hardware.

I love both the DC and the XBox. I know I'm not the only one who felt like the OG XBox felt a bit like a pseudo-Dreamcast2. Lots of great games in this comparison. Admittedly, I've only played the DC version of most of them (MvC 2 [I have the DC, PS2, and 360 releases], Crazy Taxi, Crazy Taxi 2, HotD 2,Namco Museum, NBA 2k2, NFK2k2 [I have the last 3 games on XBox though], Rush 2049 [also have MAT3 on PS2 too], Hydro Thunder [ditto], PSO [played a friend's version on GC though too], SF3 Third Strike [don't have xbox version but did buy SF Anniversary collection on PS2], Super SF2 Turbo [have played but don't have a legit copy of X for Matching Services on the DC]) or neither version (Castle Shikigami 2, Cleopatra Fortune...very surprised to see that on the XBox to be honest, KoF 2002 [have it on Steam though], Rent a Hero, Psyvariar 2, Puuo Pop Fever [own it on GC though], Shenmue 2, Silent Scope, Tony Hawk 1, WSB 2k2). The only game I own on the XBox and have not played the DC version is Capcom vs SNK 2 EO. I have DoA2 on DC and DOA Ultimate on XBox as well as owning Tony Hawk 2 on DC and the wonderous 2X on the Xbox (2X is my favorite Tony Hawk release). All in all, I think this is pretty close to a tie. Yeah, some are going to like the DC pad over the XBox Duke controller or vice versa or the controller S on the XBox over the DC pad (I use my ancient Total Control 3 adapaters for fighting games usually on the DC). I'm going to say tie for me personally *maybe* give an ever so slight edge to XBox because playing DoA Ultimate online on XBox Live was amazingly cool at the time...But, yeah, I love both of the systems. There's some great games on both here in this comparison, and some amazing exclusives on both systems.

So well said my friend! I've had less experience with the Xbox than any other console from that era and it wasn't until about a month ago when I finally decided to spend some time modding the console so I could do this video. What can be pulled off when using the full power of the system is incredible and does stuff the Dreamcast wouldn't be able to do at its best. With these ports though it's a mixed bag. THPS is such a huge upgrade and I'll admit, after playing that version the game is finally starting to grow on me despite it being a running joke on Game Mode Retro that I hate the game. Dead Or Alive 2 is the game while doing this video that blew me away the most. I couldn't believe how incredible it looked. It was to the point where if you told me it was a 360 game I would have believed it. As for where the Dreamcast came out the victor with some of these games it's pretty much all when the Xbox versions came from compilations. The two Street Fighter games had a very soft image and the worst of them was Cleopatra Fortune from Taito Legends 2. That version was about as bad as it gets considering even the way less powerful Saturn looked infinitely better. Overall though I'm bummed that I missed out on the Xbox for all of these years.

@@RetroComparisons I remember one of the key features Team Ninja bragged about was that the women's models were rebuilt without action figure style segmentation. They were a generation ahead of other developers in realistically rendering the human form. Kind of. In a way. Ish. Something that's never been said about them before or since. But to give this monumental technical achievement the proper historical context, previews of Soul Calibur 5 revealed that Namco was placing a priority on making the women's panty regions as realistic as a teen rating allows. They thought previous fighting game character models confused thin with "She must have sawed off parts of her hip bones." I mean, a little more realism about women's bodies couldn't hurt the industry. Although, solving this burning issue was apparently way more important to Namco than finishing their game before shipping it. Anyways, yeah, crunch time does strange things to developer priorities, but besides that, I like how this gives us insight into the handcrafted feeling of games from that drcade. You couldn't just solve every design problem with "realism" and several hundred million dollars. And while we tend to look at work from this era through a nostalgic haze, I can't help but wonder what other small graphical achievements were considered a big deal by the many perfectionists who pursued them?

Did you use the original dreamcast console or an emulator?
@RetroComparisonsАй бұрын
Yep these are both on real hardware. The Dreamcast is using the DCHDMI mod to tap into the VGA signal and it upscales it whereas the Xbox is using component cables being upscaled via the OSSC Pro.

@@RetroComparisons I feel that something is wrong with the configuration of your Dreamcast, the colors are very muted, I noticed it more with the MvC2, in Dreamcast the colors look much more vivid and sharp, especially in the Clock tower stage, you should use VGA to an RGB OSSC, it's how I have it and it looks very nice
@RetroComparisonsАй бұрын
@@VashTyphoon For the Dreamcast I'm using the default settings on the DCHDMI upgrade. It's possible that mod does affect the colors a bit but I think it looks better than what I used to use with the Beharbros VGA adapter.

House of the Dead 2 was a bonus in House of the Dead 3. Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 don't have their own release but there's remastered or re-imagined versions of the levels from those games on Crazy Taxi 3.

I think that's because of the capture methods used, they looked different, and Xbox worse

@@SK91NO Nope, Dreamcast and GameCube had better color (no snow blind -errors or oversaturation) output than PS2 and XBOX. This was particularly noticable on Jet Set Radio (DC) Vs. Jet Set Radio Future (XBOX). GameCube game Metroid Prime had much better colour than any XBOX -game. Or when comparing for example Sonic Mega Collection (NGC/XBOX/PS2), the differences are huge. XBOX utilized Bump -Mapping and had most GFLOPS, so more close -up detail and way more stuff happening on screen than other consoles at the time, though.

@@M1XART Easiest direct comparison for a fair colour comparison imo are hdmi mods or emulators. But really the Xbox capture doesn't look right, Shenmue 2 is so dark you can't even see anything on the soles of Ryo's shoes it's too dark
