The world was not ready for Dreamcast what a beauty😢
The world was more than ready, the world just didn't like getting burned by SEGA with the 32x and Saturn. Hence why the PS2 that only came out 4 months later turned into a juggernaut.
@@baddabaddabaddaswing LMFAO 💀
nope and the fact that it reads burned discs openly and freely. My god I was such a poor kid lmao
@@baddabaddabaddaswing the PS2 came out 2 years later not 4 months..... Dreamcast launched in November 1998 bro....
3-4 years after Playstation and 2 years before ps2
Thank you for having the PS1 audio coming from the left channel & Dreamcast audio coming from the Right. Such an amazing little touch, took me a minute or 2 to realise, you must have put so much work into this!
Thank you so much for checking this out and for the kind words:) This video in particular did take quite a bit of time but seeing comments like yours really makes it worth the time it took.
I noticed it too, really helps with the comparison @@RetroComparisons
@@evshrug I appreciate you saying that. I've had people literally cuss me out for splitting the audio in unhinged rants lol. So it's great to hear feedback like this:)
Great work on audio
@@RetroComparisons dude, eff them punks! I hadn't noticed that yet, but I haven't watched much of the video, yet. It's saved in my watch later, though, and I'll definitely be going back to it. Even without noticing the audio trick(which is damn cool), I can tell this video took some work.
The Dreamcast was and still is amazing!
Oh yeah absolutely!
maybe in 3rd world countries
A lot of Dreamcast games look so nice and smooth, it's pretty impressive. Thank you for this video.❤
Thanks for checking this out!
Its not even a fair comparison because dreamcast was a gen younger than the PS1
@@suiken3149 Very true but it's not necessarily being about what's a fair comparison in terms of one beating the other but more about the historical context of the improvements from one gen to the next.
they are emulated
@@suiken3149 Yeah, I think PS1 vs Saturn would be more fair.
I sincerely miss Dreamcast. It was a major part of my childhood gaming experience. I always compared it to arcade graphics but at home. Playing games like HydroThunder and crazy taxi at my friends place was SURREAL
As a kid I always dreamed of having an arcade cabinet at home. The Dreamcast was the first console to truly feel like it was on par with arcade graphics and was mind blowing.
They're not that expensive to get, and you can just burn games for the system.
lucky bastard.
Well it did have a TON of faithful arcade ports, so it is a good comparison
The last dream of Sega.
Very sad but what a way to go out.
The dream cast is just the baby Xbox. We still got it.
@@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide keep dreaming lol.
Phil Spencer just recently came out and said that they are losing the console wars.
Also said and I quote "if we don't get more people to subscribe to X box live ," "game pass" "that Microsoft is gonna give up on producing consoles all together".
Looks like x box in on the verge of becoming the next dream cast , out of business.
And another prey to Sony .
They scratching their heads and looking for deals just to stay alive and keep afloat with Sony.
Also what do you mean x box still got it ?
PlayStation has beaten x box -4 consoles now when it comes to exclusives, consoles sales and hardware sales . 😂😂
With the only acception being the x box 360.
@@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide
This year alone PlayStation has beaten x box and Nintendo on sells .
11.5 million more in profits compared to those systems this year alone .
It took x box 2 years after the PlayStation 5 was released to also add gyro scope and haptic feed back to their controllers .
*Sega Mega Drive Mini?
Games on DREAMCAST are really improved. 60FPS and more detailed colors and textures are really making a difference. In the years of release, that could be less noted. Because of the old tube TVs. Now with high resolution, HDR, and more color capable tvs, monitors, hardware and stream speed and quality, this is really a huge gap between PS1 and DREAMCAST.
Very well said. It still looked better at the time but most people weren't getting the best signal out of either system back then. I'd guess that the overwhelming majority of people were using composite cables for both in the 90s/early 00s. That VGA output on the Dreamcast is a thing of beauty and still looks great to this day on modern TVs.
Watching this on my phone with an AMOLED screen you can see how PS1 wasn't capable of achieving true blacks
Dreamcast is a Ps2 rival, not ps1, Sega Saturn competes with ps1
Dreamcast is in weird place as it aimed to defeat ps1 but came out too late and met ps2 which it was not designed to compete with. ps2 competed with first xbox and gamecube. I'm not saying you are incorrect but rather wanting to showcase the unlucky timeline for dreamcast.@@IdiawesKara
@@tttyyy949 but Sega Saturn is already a more powerful console than ps1, maybe cuz is hard to programming to that most devs released their games on Dreamcast Wich is easy pezy lemon squeazy, most of ps1 games has versions on ps2 that are the same released on PC, like tony hawk 3 too, so, I think is difficult problem
is nice to see those comparisons anyway
This is one of my favorite comparisons since it’s cross-generational. I love how many titles we have to demonstrate how developers had to approach the unique hardware of each console, and as a lover of both of these, I really enjoy seeing them side by side. Thank you so much for your channel and all your work
Thank you so much for the kind words and for checking this out:) I'm fascinated too by how things change from one generation to the next and this is one of those really interesting ones as both consoles were commercially relevant at the same time even if not for a super long time.
@@RetroComparisons No thanks needed! Yes, the commercial relevance is the neatest factor here. Like I said, I have a love for both consoles, and it's thanks to the PS1's unrivaled ubiquity during the era paired with the Dreamcast's lack thereof that we saw this profound overlap. VG history is one of my favorite things, and I'm sure you can appreciate that too, haha.
I still remember being blown away when I saw Sonic on dreamcast, it felt truly next-gen
Soul Calibur was MY jaw dropper. When I first saw it I just stood there and stared at the CRT - for minutes.
Same here with the Generator disc demo for SOnic adventure 1. i was so impatient for release to play it.
And Crazy Taxi!
Yes dreamcast was blow-minded
The ps1 was still great competing with a dreamcast
Tremendous effort putting this together!
Thanks so much:)
Holy cow another hour long special. Great work!
Thanks kind sir!
This video had to be a lot of work, I didn't know your channel, you did a wonderful job
Thanks so much! This video did take a very, very long time but makes it worth it when seeing comments like yours.
It's crazy how lazy some of the ports for the Dreamcast were. Increased display resolution and texture resolution were the only things done on many of those. The Dreamcast could do about 10x the polygons that the PS1 could but devs didn't feel like remaking the models so you still got blocky characters that actually kind of looked worse because they were much clearer at the higher resolution.
Clearly, a lot of developers who made PS1 games thought, "Hey, we can basically dump our PlayStation game onto Dreamcast, unchanged, and apply antialiasing to the polygon textures! Done and done!"
Haha yeah that pretty much sums up the majority of these ports.
it seems more that the ps1 ports are capped DC versions. look how the dream cast games are fluid as hell
the ps1 did great for 3-D hardware from 1994, its actually kinda amazing
considering that yeah . sadly it looks like poop half of time . but damn tony hawk pro skater was very well optimized on ps 1 . these versions are not much diferent
@@LordDeBahsnah, Pro Skater looks way better on Dreamcast.
@@lobesmcgee obviously . but consider ps 1 hardware . its miracle it looks like that
I honestly think it might be the best example in the entire video of the gulf between the graphics of the two consoles...
Great comparison video!
Thanks!
First off it's quite the dedication to put together this video so good job.
My takeaway having owned both of these devices when they were released the PlayStation holds up well against the more powerful and much later released Dreamcast on many titles.
I spent so much money back in these days chasing the most powerful gaming system, including the super expensive 3DO, SegaCD, TurboGrafx 16, and nearly purchased the Neo•Geo as well but the games were INSANELY expensive at around $200 USD per. Hell I purchased the N64 just to play Mario64, $200 to play one game...I had it bad 😂
I've heard of the "PC Master Race" on Reddit but you were a console master race back then lol! I think you made a wise choice not getting the AES as I don't think that console was worth it unless you're really into fighting games. It's funny you mention the Turbografx because I think that's the system most close to the Dreamcast in a historical sense. When the PC Engine came out in '87 it was way more graphically advanced than its main competition of the SMS & NES but then got stuck competing against the next gen of consoles not too long after that.
Thanks for checking this out and for the kind words:)
Pre-rendered backgrounds look better than todays games.
It does look nice, but stop that cap. No game back then looks better than what is being produced nowadays.
@@levianthony3944 yep.
Funny thing though being FF7R one of the best looking games out there, it used pre rendered background when you are looking at the lower quarters
Thank you so mucn for this upload video.... Appreciated
Thanks so much for checking this out:)
Hi coming back to your video after some time! you totally need to make one with Ps2 and gamecube shared titles :), amazing job in this one.
Thanks so much! That's definitely a project I'm going to tackle within the next year. There's just as much crossover with the PS2 as the PS1 so it will be really interesting to see how they stack up to each other.
Wow, you really did compare all games, even the ones nobody cares about... Great work!
My favourite change is in Soul Reaver, Raziel's model is really a huge upgrade
Thanks for checking this out! Yeah there were a ton of games that I couldn't wait to get through like the visual novels. Soul Reaver looks fantastic on the Dreamcast for sure.
Whew...another huge console vs console library comparison. I saw it pop up on my notifications just as I was going to call it a night, but I wanted to say that we appreciate the time you put in to put these together, Bill. I'll have to sift through it when I have more time. I know from my experience and your DC vs N64 vs PSX videos that the DC usually wins the comparisions between these two but that sometimes the PSX puts up a surprisingly good fight and/or sometimes the DC is just a higher-res PS1 port with no real benefits beyond clarity and sometimes better performance (and sometimes worse controls). It'll be nice to have all of these in one spot though.
Thanks so much my friend for your support and kind words! The PS1 did put up a good fight in a lot of these. There's a ton that weren't in the series I was doing as there's about 50 - 60 Japanese only games (mostly visual novels) and those of course looked pretty good unsurprisingly. There were a few others too that I somehow missed like Moho which turned out to be a very fun game. I hadn't quite finished the series before calling it off due to my N64 issues and some of those were good too. Of course there were others that were crap like Ultimate Fighting Championship where I spent over 30 minutes to get 30 seconds of footage without my fighter tapping out in the first 5 seconds:/ Anywho, go get some sleep lol! I need to do the same.
Fantastic Work💯💯
Thanks so much!
So many cool games.
Excellent job!
Thanks for watching!
Can’t believe how good the Dreamcast looks! Never had one but looks like I missed out.
When using the VGA output it still looks good to this day even on modern TVs.
Try the redream emulator.
The 640x480 resolution of the Dreamcast actually makes a nice difference with the 2d games especially in VNs/RPGs.
Most of these titles have nice differences and good graphical improvements.
Straight PS1 ports without enhancements are ugly on Dreamcast and you can really tell what devs had the budget/time to make their ports shine.
The Dreamcast had such a crisp output and that resolution did suit these games well. That was one of the downfalls though like you mentioned when it was nothing more than an upscaled port of a PS1 game.
Even straight ports were better than their PS1 counterparts with higher frame rates, lack of affine texture warping and greater draw distances
@@WWammyysoul reaver 60fps Dreamcast
Yeah, people complain about games getting remastered over and over these days, but these straight up ports were basically the same thing, just higher res versions of older games and if we were lucky better frame rates (although the vast majority still are locked at 30fps)
I feel like this ended up hurting to some degree since I'm sure many people were expecting a more noticeable jump in graphics. The higher resolution wasn't even that big of a deal back then due to most people still playing on CRTs via composite.
@@RetrOrigin wtf I noticed right away when I got a ps2 that the graphics looked ugly on CRT compared to how Dreamcast, Xbox, and most of the time Gamecube looked on CRT.People who played more than Playstation were big on graphics back than.Those games were not remastered it just that playstion came out with weaker hardware twice.
This was awesome! Honestly i didnt realize how much of a graphics boost soul reaver got until i saw this video cause i always thought the cinematics were AMAZING but the game graphics were still ps1. But i was wrong cause 29:04 showed me the difference. Awesome work!
Thanks so much for checking this out! Yeah there's a lot of PS1 games like that where the opening cinema comes on and I'm like "this looks incredible" and then you get the actual game and it's a letdown.
The dreamcast was astonishingly underated
Absolutely! I'm glad it's finally starting to get love in these past few years.
The controller was gimped tho. It had FIVE less input buttons vs the PS Dualshock controller! Even the Saturn pads had more buttons... 9 vs 7!? No LB, RB, L3, R3, or select buttons. It's 1 analog stick couldn't even click in. It made many of these ports from PS1 play poorer.... Soul Reaver, WWE Attitude, and Mortal Kombat Gold were all seriously affected by this. All that sacrifice for the nearly worthless VMU gimmick. PS2 controller was glorious after using the pos Dreamcast pad for a year.
@@TexasHollowEarth The controller was a huge weak point. If they at least had dual stick it would have seem much more of a sixth gen console. Having an equivalent of L1,L2, R1, R2 would have been huge too.
@@TexasHollowEarth yeh the controller was really big and strange I do remember that, going to order myself a Dreamcast very soon, I remember been amazed by the memory card thing at the time
and under-appreciated
This tells me once again, it ain't how good it looks but the controls, playability and MARKETING.
I STILL have my Dreamcast from 1999 and in perfect condition along with the VMU cartridge. Loved it that much from those times.
Does it beep the vmu sometimes?mine did i couldn't find more batteries for it it would suck do it in house of the dead 2 at the boss
@@Danakedgamer0523 I can’t remember the beeps. Maybe back then but I haven’t actually taken it back out the box in years. I need to get an HDMI converter for it to connect to modern devices. Any recommendations for the cable?
Excelent video... thanks
Thanks so much for watching!
Great job!
Thanks so much!
@@RetroComparisons of course! I’ve done some comparisons myself between Aladdin, Lion King, Toy Story, Battletoads Double Dragon on Super Nintendo & Genesis but it’s not a massive comprehensive list like this! Really cool to see… way to document & preserve this exciting era!
@@MarMaxGaming Oh nice! I'll check out your channel:)
Some of the remasters are really kickass but I don't like it when 2D pixel art is changed or replaced. Simply displaying a lot of these old 240p games in 480p is already a mindblowing upgrade. That said, I only saw a handful of games where Dreamcast wasn't superior. Its specialty was high resolution(for the time) 2D and damn did it ever do that well.
I love Dreamcast because of its unique niche as an inter-generational console. It's not really 5th gen and not really 6th gen either. It has a ton of games from both and pretty much every release it got was very polished. It wasn't quite as powerful as 6th gen consoles but it had a very simple architecture that was easy to work with. Devs in general seem to have had an easier time squeezing more power out of Dreamcast. For that reason and others, the OG Xbox is sometimes considered its immediate successor. Sega actually had a hand in designing the Xbox.
Also, for such a short-lived console it has a really massive library. Such a shame it didn't do better in the US. It had the power to run a lot of later 6th gen titles okay and still had untapped potential. The fact that a lot of really important Dreamcast releases never had an English translation really sucks. Like Mobile Suit Gundam federation vs Zeon DX. The Gamecube was screwed in a very similar way.
Very well said! The Dreamcast really is weird with its timing because it essentially competed with two different generations in its short life. It reminds me a bit of the PC Engine that was made to compete with the NES but within a few years was competing with the Genesis & SNES.
it was killed by dvd format which sony monopilized . console itself was good . better then ps 2 in my opinion
I will need to watch this on the computer. The small split screen on a phone won't do this justice. I will second what Shotgunl has said about lazy high res ports.... Damn cash grabs, I will watch this one tho!!!
Simply amazing work and efforts!!!
Just use Gshade with DH_undither with raduis set to 1 an and lum max distance at 0.20 and GTU50 with Screen Width (GTU) set too the MAX and if you are dealing with low color games on gtu50 hit Enable composite conection (gtu) and Disable scanlines, this makes everything look amazing even new games
Thanks so much my friend! Haha yeah there were quite a few lazy ports for sure. BTW I see there's a reply to your comment which I can't read for some reason so if you're the one who wrote that I'm sorry I'm not responding.
@@RetroComparisons Naw no other reply I can see. I notice youtube doing that on occassion. Sounds like a bug!
@@mikec3260 I'm not surprised, seems like there's a lot of bugs with comments on youtube lately.
22:00
The developers took a different approach over making a sub par port, love it!
excellent video. Didn't know about dino crisis, now I want to play it again in the dreamcast
Thanks for watching! Dino Crisis is excellent on the Dreamcast and there's now a patch so you can play it in 480p which looks extra crisp.
Dino Crisis has ULTIMATE HD MOD + REBIRTH (PC),
Replaces DirectDraw 5 with DirectX 9 among other stuff
Dino Crisis2 is available on PSX & PC REX HD (still not complete) + Classic REBIRTH patches
Dreamcast graphics are better than PS5!
Are u sure 🤔
ps5????😂
I second this 😂
Taking into consideration that we compare different GENs, PS showacase here is pretty impressive ... what a beast machine, PSX is. ♥
they realy optize thps on psx thats for sure . cant say same about some later psx releases that looks 2 x better on dreamcast and 60 fps . look at td 6 V rally . looks amazing on dreamcast . looks poop on ps 1 lol
Most of the titles on DC were lazy ports. Look at Test Drive Le Mans if devs had the time and budget for two different gen hardware. Makes you wonder if having to cater to the lower powered consoles in today's mixed-power gen holds back current consoles and PC games.
Awesome idea!
Thanks!
nice video❤
Thanks so much!
Interesting comparison, there is a lot of overlap, and I am quite impressed with how the Ps1games did hold up, in spite games being in an older hardware, since the Dreamcast in theory is on the PS2 league, and the Saturn is the Ps1 equivalent.
I couldn't believe how many games there were that were ported on both consoles. The timing of the DC was weird, it was almost like a PS1 Pro.
It's cause games were still being made with the PS1 in mind first and ported to DC afterwards. So the games were pushing the PS1 pretty hard, but the DC not so much.
Because of the DC's 2.5 year lifespan I'd argue it never reached its full potential. Even in a few years the jump in quality from Sonic Adventure to Adventure 2 was immense. Imagine what devs could've squeezed out had the system lasted til 2005 or 2006.
@@VexAcer I'd love to see what was coming out on the system had it lasted until around 05. I think we missed out on some great Sega titles.
@@RetroComparisons A safe guess would probably be at least some of the stuff we ended up getting put on the Xbox. Xbox games like GunValkyrie and ToeJam & Earl 3 were originally planned for the Dreamcast.
Stuff like Shenmue 2, Space Channel 5: Part 2, and Rez would've gotten a proper North American release on DC instead of on the Xbox/PS2 respectively.
@@vitamind.d.fishinsea8570 these ports beside some exceptions were very lazy and pushed quickly to the market. If you compare the best dc and ps the power gap is obvious.
Thanks for this! I've been using Redream a fair bit lately, and have been wondering about PS1 ports. I know of a few, but not of all of them. This is exceedingly useful!
Thanks so much for checking this out! I still can't believe how many games crossed over between the two.
@@RetroComparisons also, it's thanks to your Reddit post that I found the video. I got curious, considering I was playing Dino Crisis, and googled,"PS1 Dreamcast Ports." Little did I know that there are ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE OF THEM! 🤣😅
@@chuckclark3214Lol! When I was first researching how many crossovers there were I was finding lists with like 10 games, maybe 15. I knew I was in for a lot of work when doing more research and being at 30 games by the letter E.
The sega graphics were totally amazing. She kicked the butts of Sony's designers
It's interesting seeing how some of the games were pretty much just phoned in for the Dreamcast port by simply running it at higher resolution and framerate without any real asset changes and then others you can really see the big generational difference in capabilities with not just the res and framerate but also poly counts/ texture details, and background details and draw distance. This selection also showcases just how well optimized PS1 was at the end of its generation with some of the titles still looking and running pretty decent next to the DC port even thought its at lower settings. The one game I really notice PS1 had problems on was Shadow Man with massive framerate drops and quite distorted visuals.
So many lazy ports :(
Too bad, the Dreamcast was much more capable than some of these ports from lazy devs.
Thanks for the video, your work is amazing!
Thanks so much for checking this out and for the kind words:) Yeah a lot of these are not the Dreamcast's best showing. I've noticed that theme a lot though with these cross-generational ports on many systems like on the SNES vs PS1 video or even with Sega CD ports of Genesis games.
Dreamcast was just so far ahead of it's time. It's price against the competition really bit it in the ass.
Dreamcast was released 6years after PSX. Just saying. Not sure you are aware. Its quite obvious why it does look better
@@TMracer73 PSX December 1994, Dreamcast November 1998...that's 4 years, and SoulCalibur and Shenmue were the perfect example that Dreamcast was ahead of it's time.
@@pacocarrion7869 you are right about the release of Dreamcast. I was just trying to point out that these consoles are from different console generations. You know much more about Dreamcast capabilities. No doubt about it 👍
Hi great video, I loved the Dreamcast
Thanks so much for watching! The Dreamcast is such an incredible console.
This was pretty nostalgic, there was so many visual novels that I grew up playing, many I haven't seen since I was a kid, it was a trip through memory lane, and it was also very cool to see how the Dreamcast looked so much better when devs really utilized all its power, it was truly next gen before the PS2.
this whole 3D style of Dreamcast is very good looking to my eye and I love it. all these early polygon systems like the Dreamcast, the SEGA model 2, SEGA model 3, atomiswave, naomi arcade system. don’t know why but I just love the style.
I feel the same way. It seems to hold up better than a lot of other 3D games from the era, especially when compared to something like the N64.
Wow. This confirms my opinion, the Dreamcast was essentialy a PS1/N64 Pro. These comparisons are impressive.
Thanks for checking this out! The DC really does have the 5th gen Pro feel to it.
29:00 Fitting that the Dreamcast version of Soul Reaver is to this day the definitive one - you spend the entire game feeding a mirrored Dreamcast logo in the bottom right of the screen on all versions of the game.
Dreamcast visual novels compared to ps1 the brightness is overbrightned
The problem with the Dreamcast is that there are not that many games that show the true potential it actually had since most of the games on this platform are just straight ports of the PS1 games but a bit more refined when it comes to graphics and in some cases, even content. Kind of a shame since the Dreamcast could’ve actually put up a good fight against the PS2 if it received a greater number of higher-quality games rather than souped-up PS1 games.
dvd format won sadly . its not like ps 2 was realy more powerfull . etleast we got xbox pads designs which were insipred bye dreamcast pad and some ideas from dreamcast mutliplayer , online functions implemented today gaming
@@francesco6440 Obviously there are some exceptions, but my points stands true. Most games on the Dreamcast are PS1/N64 ports.
At least until studios like Criterion and Insomniac really started to push the PS2 vector units, and the GC/Xbox launch.
The Dreamcast GPU could render even Burnout 3’s polygons at 60fps, but it doesn’t have the memory bandwidth or CPU power to cope with the game logic , unlike PS2 or Xbox which had a lot more of both, if not several times more.
@@revenge1205 absolutely not. C'mon read the entire game list don't be stupid. Clearly there is some conversion Also from pc, but you can't write that the entire lineup was from ps1 or N64 ???conversion. You sound ridiculous, if you don't know nothing about Sega. I must continue??? Virtua fighter 3, berserk, JoJo, every fucking beat em up, sega GT, every fucking shumps, every Gundam, houthdead, phantasy star O, Sakura taisen, virtua striker, virtus tennis, NBA 2kseries, nfl2kseries, none of these are conversion and I could write a lot. So now I understand that you know just 3 games and never touched a real Dreamcast, but don't write that stupids things.
@@revenge1205 620 games on Dreamcast. 145 porting from ps1. Nothing from N64. Clearly you don't know nothing about Sega, never played, never seen or touched a real Dreamcast.
38:18 ROFLOLMAO
I was just watching this video, so seriously. Thanks for the comic relief! XD
Lol thanks for checking this out:) It's always fun to run someone over in a game like that.
Did you use the same av output for both consoles? I mean composite for both ? because I think you used HDMI converter for DC and regular composite for PS, am I correct?
These did use different methods. The PS1 is using a SCART cable through the OSSC while the Dreamcast is using the DCHDMI mod to tap into the VGA output and it's being upscaled through that.
I would say, that Dreamcast was between PS and PS2, because of those graphics and better details. I do have one and it's brilliant to play on a old CRT monitor ✨ Long live the Dream... 🌀
Soy dominocano y eso pense
Dreamcast once again proves it is the most underrated game console of all time.
Fun Fact: Some Dreamcast versions are direct ports from the PC. Its full compatibility with Windows made porting from there much easier.
I had both versions of Soul Reaver, what an upgrade!
The Dreamcast ports were basically remastered versions.
Dreamcast was already powerful more like a Ps2 than a P1. Another GEN in advance.
I love SEGA
Amazing video. A couple games surprised me though. Sno-Cross and Test Drive 6 both look like they run a bit better on the PS1. More consistent framerate and better sense of speed.
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah there were some that were equal if not better on the PS1 which is very shocking.
F1 World Grand Prix on the playstation has incredible particle effects for the console. But then there's the Dreamcast version that looks like it's running on alien technology by comparison!
Nice demonstration of the power of the Dreamcast.
In some rare occasions tho, the blurrier graphics of the Playstation contributes to the ambiance of the game (thinking mostly about Resident Evil 2 and 3).
Those RE games are a great example of what can go wrong with these ports. For the Dreamcast some of it higher resolution but the backgrounds aren't so it's this weird blend. The more blurry graphics of the PS1 do give it that more unsettling feel too.
look at power of ps1, that was real good hardware
real hardware? It must take a lot of work to compare this large number of Games. Great work man.
Thanks for checking this out! So for the Dreamcast it's all real hardware, no exceptions. For the PS1 I upscaled it through an OSSC, but unfortunately that's not great at handling 480i games so for those games I used emulation with all of the enhancements turned off.
Frame rate was massively noticeable even if nothing else is.
6:30 Love that Centipede is essentially the PC version ported to Dreamcast, but with better qaulity textures and graphics. Even with the addition of a whole other world to play! The game is an all timer for me and this is the best version to play
Then I would say that it actually wasn't a port of the pc version, but instead the opposite, since the dc version was superior in terms of graphics and textures, it is more likely that it was originally made for the dreamcast.
Dreamcast wins but the PS1 definitely held its ground good.
interesting how the contrast is so much better on the dreamcast
The black colour is like playing on old TV so deep and the sea colour so natural
Wow dreamcast
Seems like the PS1 holding the Dreamcast back these games should had looked a lot better on the Dreamcast,Dead or Alive 2 really shows what the Dreamcast was capable of
Yeah a lot of these were lazy ports where they were little more than upscaled PS1 games.
Much in the same way the PS2 held the Wii back. Look at how great games with the Wii made in mind looked, when compared to quick and dirty PS2 ports.
@@SomeOrangeCat not really the Wii was barely more powerful than a GameCube so even if the PS2 was holding it back it wouldn't be by much
The Xbox 360 came out a full year before the Wii and it certainly wasn't being held back by the PS2.
The only thing holding the Wii back was it's lack of power that's why many 3rd party games didn't come to the Wii so developers had to get creative and make dumb casual games that were suited for it's motion controls
@@artzbeltras5379 And yet games like Darkside Chronicles could be mistaken for 360 launch titles.
@@SomeOrangeCat bro are you really trying debate this?
The Wii is only about 1 and a half times more powerful than a GameCube while the PS3 and Xbox 360 are somewhere between 25 to 30 times more powerful than a GameCube it ain't even close bro the Wii was significantly underpowered
The dream cast would kick ass today if somebody was making games for it
Why develop for the dreamcast when you can develop for the PS2 or xbox classic?
29:00 really shows the performance divide of the machines.
1:02:00 Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles comparison
I have some great memories of the dreamcast and don't regret buying one when it was released. a lot of people held out for the PS2
Malgré les ventes ps2, pour la dreamcast restera tjs supérieure à la ps2.
@@DonItalucareal
In cases where the game is 3D models over 2D backgrounds, the increased texture resolution and and model detail actually works to the Dreamcast's detriment, as the models and backgrounds are no longer of the same visual fidelity. because while they could upscale the 3D stuff, the 2D assets were locked at their original resolution, as they had no way of re-rendering those at higher ones.
That certainly was one of the downfalls of having the upscaled games without completely re-hauling everything. When that wasn't the case though that VGA output of the Dreamcast really shined.
@@RetroComparisons VGA wasn't really the game changer people misremember it as. You had to buy it separately, and If you had a VGA monitor back in the day, you were probably a PC gamer. Most everyone else was playing Dreamcast on a RF-adaptor or composite cables. Its like the broadband internet adapter. Most people around the world in 1999/2000 were still stuck using a dodgy dialup connection, so internet play was still just a pipe dream.
@@SomeOrangeCat Very true but it did really help future proof the console in the same way that the SMS/Genesis were with native RGB output. Most people at least in North America were playing those with RF or composite too but they look fantastic these days without any mods going through an upscaler.
Hell yes. That's clearly visible on the Resident Evil ports.
@@SomeOrangeCatYeah but people play with VGA today and, well would you look at that, it looks so much better than rf/rca.
4:58 It looks like puzzle bubble in neogeo 👀
20:00 we can see dreamcast is better than PS1, textures are better and smoke is more realistic and maybe better frame rate.
que gran merito de la ps1 porque a pesar de sus limitaciones tecnologicas pudo sacar juegos y graficas muy avanzadas a su epoca, tambien la dreamcast pudo mejorar lo que parecia inmejorable de la ps1, por encima de las limitaciones de ps1, dreamcast pudo revivir con mejores graficas, efectos de luz, sonido y frame rate mucho mas fluidos, claramente se ve que los juegos ya andaban en 60fps de manera nativa en dreamcast, incluso algunos juegos se siguen viendo igual de sorprendentes que el dia en que fueron lanzados, especialmente los juegos de lucha de capcom, todos los king of fighters, de lujo
El gran merito de la PS1 era que se podia piratear y ya está!!!
@@2Bleicher ciertamente le ayudo, pero también su formato CD de 700mb fue definitivo, ya que en ese momento se puso muy de moda los cds de música quemada, los vcd, creo que salió en el momento justo, sino pues hay tienes de ejemplo la Saturn y el mega CD de SEGA, un gran fracaso comercial
@@2Bleicher los muertos de hambre de los latinos la pirateaban, en el resto del mundo arraso por su gran catalogo.
I honestly believe that the Dreamcast is the most overlooked and tragic game system EVER MADE, the sheer power and ability of the system, coupled with the revolutionary online capabilities and the VMU being it's own whole AMAZING thing just makes me cry at night, I remember FINALLY saving up enough as a kid to buy one used off my buddy only to find out that Sega was abandoning the system all together and that no NEW games would come out for it, but MAN, such a tragic case, the raw POWER of it is impressive even to this day!!!!...
That is the sharp 6800x or the pc98
Man, Dreamcast was the shizz back in the day. There was this game that you got with the console, with a car with guns and shield, rockets and missles, Reddog or something, we used to play that splitscreen until our eyes bled. Twas Awesome.
nice!
I’m surprised how much the PS1 keeps doing a good job versus the Dreamcast. Especially knowing the difference of power between them.
I was surprised too. I think the fact that it has a really clean output makes a huge difference too in terms of visual quality.
@@RetroComparisonsif ps1 didn't have wobbly graphics it would look nearly the same
It's no surprise at allm because of the selective bias that often is forgotten: Games existing on multiple systems that have been around before the stronger system have first been made and optimized for the older one and then where ported to the newer system later. This nearly always means that the newer system won't even be remotely used to it's full potential. For comparing the hardwares' capabilities you would need to check the exclusive game son the later one, or some specifically selected where you know before, that they had been optimized more than to the bare minimum for the later conversion :)
This video shows that nearly all these games are just using a higher resolution on the Dreamcast and most have higher fps,. because these are the two things that come mostly automatically by running them on the newer hardware. But you usually won't find crisper textures, higher polygon count more more objects or particles on screen in these conversion. Of couorse the Playstation 1 still was a good system for it's time, maybe the most advaned console ever relative to it's contemporary situation.
Até hoje me surpreendo em como o ps1 era incrível, mesmo com tamanha diferença de hardware ele não fazia feio!
I was surprised too. The PS1 cleans up really well using Scart/Component cables through an upscaler and it really pops.
na verdade é pq a maioria aí são jogos de PS1 que foram portados para o Dreamcast... o DC é sub-utilizado nesses jogos.
Mas sim o PS1 fazia coisa muito impressionante, o fato de ter vendido muito fez os desenvolvedores utilizar as capacidades ao máximo e contornar as limitações... coisa q infelizmente nunca aconteceu com o Saturn e até mesmo o Dreamcast que foram abandonados sem mostrarem todo potencial.
@@megaigor PS1 ditava as regras e o rumo dos jogos realmente! Atropelou N64 e Dreamcast mesmo com hardware defasado.
@@1.gamerqualquer sim, empresas vão sempre focar onde o lucro vai ser maior.
No caso do Dreamcast além do PS1 ainda estar muito popular recebendo jogos como Final Fantasy VIII(lançado no mesmo dia do DC nos EUA) ainda tinha sombra do lançamento do PS2, console que traria retrocompatibilidade e o mais impressionante para a época q era ser um player de DVD.
@@1.gamerqualquer O Dreamcast já era de outra geração, quem o atropelou foi o PS2.
Ps1 > graphical character(nostalgia❤)
Dreamcast > detail and sharpening
Please note that those versions on DreamCast were simply retouched, they were not remade. They were the same version but slightly retouched on DreamCast.
Dreamcast faired a lot better with racing games than it did for other genres. V-Rally 2 aka Test Drive V-Rally is one of the most impressive looking racers on PS1, yet on Dreamcast the same game really does look next-gen. Likewise with Vanishing Point & Re-Volt.
Como o Dreamcast sofreu com jogos Crossgens, ainda pensados no Hardware do Plastation 1, mas como todo bom console Superior de Próxima Geração, o Dreamcast sendo da Sexta Geração, Supera tranquilamente o Plastation 1 e demais consoles da Quinta Geração, é me parece que hoje isso se repetindo novamente, com Plastation 5 e Xbox Série X/S, onde novamente se ver consoles de nova geração, recebendo muito Crossgens, fazendo com que aconteça apenas aprimoramento gráficos, assim como aconteceu com o Dreamcast na Sexta Geração.
If you are a fighting game player & loved fighting games from this era, Dreamcast wins hands down vs Playstation. They played exactly the same as their arcade counter parts without cutting any animation frames and sometimes had online play. Besides that, having more horse power, disc space and higher resolution meant less concessions to be made. Hell, just frame rate being more consistent is a large improvement.
Amazing. Sarges Heros looks like a whole different game
i think the fall of dreamcast was that GAME developers couldnt maximize its hardware. we had a drramcast, and all i could ever think about was "it looks better and smoother, but it doesnt wow me as much as playing n64 and ps1 for the first time".
Sega really could go back to their beloved Dreamcast and release some of the classics in their that isn't just Sonic. Skies of Arcadia one of their true under estimated games ever since hasnt been remastered to this day yet
One thing that killed the Dreamcast for games was Sports titles, EA wanted exclusive rights to sports games for it but Sega at the time just bought a developer to make their own.
Then Sega ultimately decided to end support quicker than expected
Skies is a gem
I don't want them to remaster it because they'd fuck it up in today's world
Wow. Dreamcast (and Sega) deserved better. It was ahead of it's time. I had both systems (still do). Most of my Dreamcast time was spent playing Phantasy Star Online. Man... those were good times.
It's a shame because who knows how many more awesome games we missed out on.
Esse video eu notei que era tudo jogo que era pra ter sido lançado pra Saturn, as empresas preferiram lançar no Dreamcast.
It really just goes to show that Dreamcast was ahead of its time. I remember when my brother and I had this beast growing up. Legendary console. I wish Sega would step back in the console wars again and bring us a Dreamcast 2. Would be amazing as hell!
Pocos juegos salieron optimizados para Dreamcast, se ven diferencias en el dibujado del entorno en algunos, pero la realidad, es que no son juegos hechos para el sistema de 128 bits, sino para las 32 de PSX.
De todas maneras la comparacion esta bien, pero la Dreamcast de haber estado mas tiempo en el mercado hubiera hecho unos juegos que graficamente serian como la PS2 o Xbox...
Most Games are actually Ports from PC Version and not from PS1 :) but fun to see.
Dreamcast = Love
Those PS1 jaggies give me that warm fuzzy feeling.
Is this emulated footage for both systems?
Mostly no with a few exceptions. I emulated the 480i PS1 games since the OSSC is not great at handling that signal but the rest of the PS1 are through a scart cable going to the OSSC. The Dreamcast is using the DCHDMI mod to tap into the VGA output.
little games actually looks better on PSX!
Championship Surfers
Killer Loop
Roadsters
UFC ?
Some have different ascetics like :
Black Matrix
ESPN INT Track & Feild
Gaia Master
Grand Theft Auto 2 (is like a 16-bit color vs 32 colors on PC, mainly software vs openGl)
The Next Tetris
PSX games usually are inferior, cutting down team play & sprites (MVC Clash of super heroes)
