You probably like most just did not know what the Dreamcast was capable of bro!

Because of the windows CE OS you could download nes,,SNES,Sega genesis,Sega master system, and mame emulators and ROMs and play all those consoles games on the Dreamcast.

Yoiu could download mpeg and avi movies and burn them to a CD and watch them.

You could run Linux on it for study purposes.


The Dreamcast was truly revolutionary

In 2006/7 the first Crysis

That really just was unbelievable. Iโ€™ve never seen anything like it before. It was the biggest leap to the point Iโ€™m sure that would still be stunning compared to 2018 level.

Also on the ps2, gran turismo 3 and ace combat 4 were mind blowing but not to the same degree

Yah Mario n64.

But really fuk crazy good graphics if the gameplay blows.

Seems most studios spend 80% on art 20% gameplay. Battlefronttwo comes to mind.

Honestly blew my mind when I first played it...



I haven't had an experience like that since. Graphics have of course evolved, but the scope of HALO blew my mind like nothing else, because I had never seen anything like it in a game.

Gamecube. I had a Dreamcast but I was PC gaming at the time, so I'd seen 3d games already. But I explicitly remember looking at magazine articles for Super Smash Bros Melee and Rogue Squardon and being blown away by the detail.

Ones that made me say 'GRAPHICS' would be Gran Turismo 3 on PS2. It looked way too real.

Not to knock on anything prior to the PS2.

Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate on sega was so juicy in terms of graphics.

Glad you mentioned that. I remember getting Mario 64 when the system came out. I used to shoot myself up in the air with the cannon because it would make me dizzy watching the screen as I fell down

N64 had a lot of graphics potential for it's time it was just so damn hard to develop for seemed only Nintendo and Rare could really hit the mark.

Well the decision to stick with game paks instead of CD kind of truncated a lot of the potential. Audio files had to be downgraded to fit, for example the first Turok the soundtrack was made lower-fidelity to fit but it kinda sounds cooler that way.

Turok 2 is amost like an early PS2 game if you have the expansion pak and has MASSIVE levels, so it could work depending on the game type.

I agree! Running that game and rogue squadron without the ram pack and then with it was almost like two different games visually.

That was more an issue with the PS1, if I remember right. I remember thinking a lot of the games looked bad even then.

Ps1 just had jaggies cause of the limited hardware. Ps2 had big time issues with it

I still got old egm and gamepronmags back back then where games that were on Dreamcast and ps2 both even though the ps2 hardware was more powerful the Dreamcast versions constantly got higher reviews in graphics cause the Dreamcast was so easy to developo for cause of the windows OS and ps2 was considered worse the n64 to develop for I can't remember the the exact reason! Think it may have bee due to the duel processors and the OS.

battlefield bad company 2's ICE engine really blew me away once i went from a tube TV to a HD TV (and gonig from old style red yellow white connector to HDMI).

it unlocked so many extra visuals, it was quite amazing to me at the time.

BFBC2 did pretty much everything right as an online FPS, IMO it is the GOAT online shooter.
