Episode Notes:
1. Most of the games here are captured on real hardware. I did do some on redream to test if they'd run or not. The sports games did ok except for Tennis 2K2, which always crashed, but Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament did fine. VF3 was a tad choppy, though.
2. I adore the visuals in Guilty Gear X. That animation is incredible, and the soundtrack is awesome too. Great game to pick up.
3. The Dreamcast is often considered inferior to the PS2 in regards to power. While I do think the PS2 was a capable machine, there are few games on the platform I honestly think a good developer couldn't get running on the DC.
4. I consider Resident Evil 2 and 3 to be best on the DC. I prefer them over the Gamecube versions.
5. It really is a shame Sega never put a lot of effort into Model 3 ports. I would have loved to have seen Scud Race and Daytona 2 on the DC.
6. I really wish someone/group would translate the El Dorado Gate RPG's on the DC. I so very much want to play them.

My girlfriend at the time gave me a Dreamcast for my birthday. She's now my wife.
still owe it?
@@BATCHMAN_0 Yeah, just gotta find it, I packed it in one of my moves. Really want to find it now.
Cherish that Dreamcast, but not as much as the woman who gave it to you! 😉
I'm had the opposite experience. I bought the Dreamcast in around '01 for my girlfriend and she eventually left me. I picked up my own system later on.
This comment should be pinned! ♥
Nice to see that Headhunter is part of this list - I worked as an environment artist on that game. The Dreamcast was just so much ahead of its time and so easy and fun to create art for.
That game looks to be another"ahead of it's time" kinda game I didn't know about. Fantastic looking man good job!
That looks the best
thank you for your work,
I sunk hours into that game, it was a true next gen experience
Headhunter was an amazing game especially for its time. It just got deeper and more involving as you progressed.
😮 great work
Shenmue's graphics were absolutely mindblowing at the time it came out. It might not look like much today, but after coming from the n64/ps/saturn, they were incredible.
Thats because they spent a hilariously huge amount of money on that game. 70 Million Dollars, which even now is a pretty big game budget, but back then was the most money ever spent on the development of a game by a long shot.
I read somewhere that every single person who ever owned a Dreamcast would have had to have bought 2 copies of the game just for the developer to break even on that development cost. It was a groundbreaking technical achievement, but doomed to be a financial failure
The textures and lighting effects in Dreamcast games still impress me to this day.
The graphics may be outdated now but it's still an incredible game. It is clear when you play it that the developers put a lot of effort into it
I had purchased a Japanese Dreamcast through a friend that had an import game store. I got the Japanese Shenmue when it first dropped and blew away my friends using the demo disk showing the high res face models. It was simply amazing.
Yes Shenmue had amazing graphics, they were probably the best I'd seen at the time and it looks better than almost anything for the PS2 in my opinion.
My story about why I love the Dreamcast is, as a Brazilian and growing up with Master System, Mega Drive and arcade Sega Games but in some point of my life Sega wasn't in my radar. I had Supernintendo and the PS1 later because Sega CD and Saturn was SUPER expensive at the time. During the SNES and PS1 period I stopped to go in arcades and we had less and less at the time had less and less. One day for some reason I went to a Mall in my city in Brazil and there has a really old Arcade in my city and I was see what's going with the worst expectations and if the place was closed I wasn't surprised and was totally opposite of that. I saw a lot of new arcades machine and whew I noticed rhe Sega logo on somes I was so glad! So excited! I spent the whole day there and in that and I passed to back there to play more very often. Two especific was my favorites at the time. Crazy Taxi and the Virtua Striker and this is Dreamcast means to me. I know, there's Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Residents Evil Code Veronica and a lot of classic but for me the console is back to roots, back to arcade, when was my beginning for my love in video games. Dreamcast ♥️
During this time in my life, I felt we finally were in the future. Games were mini worlds to me then, but with the technology, it made you feel deeper in the experience.
You forgot Resident Evil Code Veronica
Sega is cringe lol
I guess he omitted this one for being multi-platform.
@@RetrOrigin DoA 2, Grandia 2, etc. were multi-platform and they weren't omitted.
@@RetrOrigin It was developed for the dreamcast, the other versions were ports.
Chris McEvoy exactly I agree with you
This video reminded me just how much fun Virtua Tennis 2K2 was with four people. Neither me nor anyone in my group of friends at the time were sports guys, yet for years at almost every party someone would boot that game up and we would play for hours. Just amazingly fun to play with multiple people!
I knew I should've bought the Dreamcast when it was going for $50 at Toys R Us with the games I grew up playing at my local arcade. Recently I found a clean complete in box Dreamcast that works brand new with a handful of games like Soul Caliber, Crazy Taxi, Alone in the Dark, Legacy of Kain, Ooga Booga, and especially Sonic Adventures.
The Dreamcast marked the beginning of the modern era of graphics. This was the last console where I was in awe of the upgrade in graphical fidelity versus the previous generation. You would never confuse an N64 game for a Dreamcast title. Future console generations certainly made graphical improvements, but never again would the leap be so jarring and impressive.
100%
perfectly stated. And perfectly true. No exaggeration, whatsoever.
@@xman777b Ehh? I'd start with PS2. But I see the point.
ps2 to ps3 was the last tbh
@@cryptic255 I agree. Yeah, the PS4 was a graphical improvement over the PS3 too, but it wasn't a mindblowing difference like the older generations were and even less so from PS4 to PS5. Comparing games from 2023 to games from 2013 is like "Oh yeah, the textures are sharper, and the models look a little better." Comparing games from 2013 to 2003, however, is a world of difference.
Wow. Headhunter looks stunning for its time! I'm curious to see how it looks in 4K.
Cough redream cough cough
I’m an old man and don’t understand why you’d want to play it in 4K. Won’t that just make it look worse? Is 4K even that much better? I have a tube tv so I genuinely am clueless on the matter
@@gamesystemaddict3949 I'd want to play it in 4K on my flat screen display, because it greatly reduces jagged edges on polygons. The clarity is so much higher. There is a downside, though, and that is the obvious pop-in of objects/buildings that come into view. Depending on the player's preference, extremely high clarity in an old game could be better or worse. Tube tvs do a better job at masking jagged edges at low resolutions than flat screens. So, if a tube tv is what you use, that's fine, you're not really missing out. But for me, I haven't use a tube tv in years; flat screens are what I'm accustomed to. I've come to appreciate the level of clarity available to me now that I couldn't see before from over a decade ago, even if the graphical limitations are more noticeable. I really like the look of Headhunter in 4K.
@@MetalJody1990 that makes sense, and that helps me understand a little more about people’s preferences in resolution settings. Thank you 🙏
@@gamesystemaddict3949 You're welcome. Game on, sir.
The CIB Dreamcast console and around 50+ games are still the pinnacle of my collection and I have just about every popular console released in the US. Great showcase and I appreciate that you gave the beloved Dreamcast some retro love...! Thanks Sega Lord X ....!
Great choices. Headhunter was a staple of my early high school days. I remember playing through the Echelon rips and getting stuck due to a glitch on the second disc. I ended up importing the official PAL game which I still own to this day. It was my first import purchase and, with the help of the spinning reindeer, I was able to finish the game.
The thing that always struck me back then about Dreamcast games was just how vibrant, clear, and colourful they looked. Coming from the PS1 and especially the N64 everything had just looked a bit brown and muddy but here the colours were so lush and vibrant.
Everything about Headhunter felt like a low-budget direct-to-video C-grade action film from the 1990s. The plot, the setting, the color palette (which is not a knock on the graphics as they do look nice), even the music that tried to be more dramatic than it really was.
I loved it for that. I should play through it again sometime.
Man.... Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 and Phantasy star online are like 25% of my childhood. The aesthetic of those games will never age poorly for me.
I'd never seen or heard anything about Head Hunter beyond the cover art, I'll definitely give it a look. Plenty of great titles in that list!
Headhunter was freaking awesome. The music is amazing. The only problem I had with it was that when you do a Newgame++.. there gets a point where you can't finish the VR missions as the increased difficulty level makes it impossible to beat. But I think that's after playing on the unlocked UNLOCKED super difficulty.
Dreamcast will always have a special place in my heart. First system to truly bring the arcade home. The return to greatness of Sega Sports. Capcom loving in shooters and fighters. Best launch hands down. 9.9.99 for life
Dreamcast had the best lineup of launch titles of any console ever.
@@bigballzmcdrawz2921 Facts
What are you talking about by it being the first console to bring arcade to homes?
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess No system before the Dreamcast brought arcade quality or better home 1st. Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, anything by Capcom or SNK for example
@@tra0459 All of these were in Sega previous consoles, Soul calibur, SNK and Capcom fighting games were in the PS1
Man, I missed out on a lot of these. Dreamcast was a good system.
for it's generation of consoles (6th gen) the dreamcast was a better console than the Genesis was for it's gen. speaking on hardware capabilities. it's a ahrd debate on which had better games as i love many gens' classic games as well as DC's. what teh DC cast had software wise taht was definitely above Genesis , is 3rd party support. so many publsihers and devs jumpped on doing games for DC. if sega hadn't botched up witht eh sega cd , the 32 x and the saturn console so bad , then They could ahve afforded to flaot the Dreamcast a few more years than it lasted. They might even ahve been able to finish out that time period of the whole 6th gen.
So weird looking at some of these games after years and noticing the jaggies, low poly count, etc... my childhood memories tell me that the dreamcast eliminated all those issues! lol. Thanks for the continuous great content :)
The dreamcast isn't eliminating them, but the CRT.
Back then you were playing on the TV with far smaller pixel count there by making the games look super smooth
I've been playing my PS2 alot lately and I think most Dreamcast games looked far superior.
@@crono3339 I always thought Dreamcast games looked better also..
They were just clearer.. unless you’re talking about Gran Turismo three or Gran Turismo four
I remember back in 99 I got my Dreamcast with Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventureat at launch and I was blown away at the graphics from Sonic Adventure
me too. when I played Sonic Adventure I got a true next gen gaming experience.. something that ps1 didn't do it for me when I bought it. i liked the graphics, but I kept playing Dreamcast way more often. And no load times (Well hardly any loadings) thanks to the strong CPU
Tried Sonic Adventure at a Toys R US and ran around the hub world. It was like experiencing Super Mario 64 for the first time. I had no idea where to go, but I had fun. Then I got a hold of the sequel and played as far as I could without a VMU, repeating everything over and over until I had the game memorized.
I remember the first time I saw Toy Commander and Soul Calibur running on the Dreamcast back in 99. Mind blowing!
Soul Calibur is my first game when I bought a Dreamcast.
On launch day I bought Soul Calibur, Power Stone and House of the Dead 2.
Mine was Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure, one week later nfl 2k good memories
@@darthwisner47 u must have had some bank 😆
@@christianraines3032 I had been saving up for it. 👍
Mines was DOA2
Shenmue, that wasn't only the best looking dream cast game but it took till the end of the ps2 lifetime to even come close to that game. Not sure how you could miss that.
I didn’t. Shenmue is in the video.
C'mon man don't be ridiculous, it was a good looking game when it released, but even the early ps2 comparable titles crushed it in the visuals.
@@efuuu Yeah really, guy is out of his mind. Some games that came out in 2001 on PS2: Metal Gear Solid 2, Jak and Daxter, Onimusha, Gran Tourismo 3, Final Fantasy X, Silent Hill 2... Best looking DC game though is Dead or Alive 2 played on VGA.
When my parents bought me the Dreamcast, I had this adapter that let you hook it up to a PC monitor. The graphics were extra crisp and smooth.
This video was great! Would love a follow-up!
Power Stone is my favorite fighting for Dreamcast. It was so new for the time and so fun to play! And it looks just nice even today.
I never liked shoot'em ups. But Ikaruga blew my mind. A few years later I gave a serious try to the game on the GameCube.
Sturmwind is just an amazing shooter on Dreamcast. I love the style, music, playability of it. Surprised me totally. I played Gigawing etc first but did not really like them. Sturmwind just blew my socks off - its so great!
Dreamcast was dope. My favorite system.
Dreamcast was A++ quality. I hope that one day Sega comes around to releasing some kind of collection for the games.
To this day I still remember the first time I played DOA on Dream Cast, 2 decades ago! I was so blown away I thought I had died and resurrected in a new dimension. That was a legit show case of a leap into next gen graphics!
I love the doa series
I got to play Soul Calibur and Hydro Thunder at the video game store and walked out of there with a Dreamcast and 6 games :) The graphics blew my mind and i had the most awesome 2 years of gaming in my life. I bought almost the whole library of DC games together with my brother and we got the Dreamcast Gun, keyboard, fishing reel and the arcade sticks too :)
Man, you brought back so much good memories with this video ! Games I would add to this list are: Sega Extreme Sports and 4 Wheel Thunder.
Love all Dreamcast content, best console of ALLLLL TIIIIME! :) Thanks.
Soul calibur and doa2 in particular almost melted my eyes as a kid coming from ps1, n64 and saturn...that was truly the start of the 6th generation. Probably like pc players seeing crysis or star citizen for first time
Also forgot about sf3 third strike and capcom vs snk2 as well as marvel vs capcom 1 and 2...asthetics wise it wasnt graphics but the leap in fluid motion and detail in the art styles that blew me away. Sonic adventure 1 and 2 were also huge leaps from anything seen before
I always wondered why I never saw Columns 2 and it never got included in compilations. (Japanese exclusive explains everything).
Many Many Games at the time was graphics fantastic. Spul calibur, f355 challenge, crazi taxi, dead or alive, metropolis Street racer, sonic adventure 2, headhunter, vanishing point (60fps great looking arcade racer), Rayman 2, code Veronica, Virtua Tennis, NBA 2k, NHL 2k, ready 2 rumble boxing 2, quake 3 arena.....so many brilliant games.
Great video. You sure monetized the hell out of this one. An ad every 2 mins during a 20 minute video is a bit too much. I don't think I'll be checking out the next one.
"The shadow of greed that is."

2K Sports games were my favorite when I had my Dreamcast
Samba de Amigo is my absolute favorite in regards to pure graphics. All the activity going on in the background with its great art style, animation, and of course the music. 2nd for me is Jet Set Radio (I played the Japanese version, so it's not Grind for me)
Yeeeeeeeeah Dreamcast!!
Dreamcast blew my mind back in 1999
You have proposed a good list of games here.
I would add "Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage", which had great cinematic and music. :-)
And on sport's games, I think that "Sega Tennis 2K2" was somewhat good looking.
The Dreamcast was a really big onward progress on 3D graphics quality, after the Saturn and the PS1.
YAY a Dreamcast vid!!!! Thank you for everything you do man!!!
We never got to see the Dreamcast's full potential unleashed. I mean look at the difference between first and final wave titles on the PS2, Gamecube and Xbox. But thanks to Sega cutting off their nose to spite their face we never got the chance. Hey, have you ever done a "Sega on the Wii" video yet? They did crank out a few stinkers, but they also brought over some excellent titles as well.
Yep, I always wonder what games might have shown up on the DC if had lasted a few years more...I wonder if we would have seen Outrun 2 on it; the game was released on the Xbox (and its arcade counterpart the Chihiro board) but also showed up on the PS2 and PSP.
Might we have seen Ninja Gaiden? or Grand Theft Auto 3?
@@lazarushernandez5827 Perhaps even a revised controller with a second stick and a couple more face buttons, so multiplat games from later in that generation would be playable.
The GameCube doesn't seem like the best example, seeing as it had so many gorgeous games in its early years, and then support kind of fell off later. But I agree with your point.
The Dreamcast was really held back by the techniques and the standards of the day. Back in 1998, games like Metal Gear Solid and Banjo-Kazooie represented the pinnacle of console graphics. You still saw characters animated with outdated techniques (with each limb being a separate model), and many of the fancy next-gen tricks like ripple effects, depth of field, frame buffer reflections, bump maps, and shadow maps were rare, if not unheard of. And audiences didn't know or expect any better!
The PSP and especially the 3DS give some hints as to what later Dreamcast games could have looked like.
The first time I made it to Hanging Waters in Ecco... stunning, stunning visuals. Underrated game, too. One of my DC faves.
Gread vid as always.
I picked up a dreamcast at the midnight launch with soul, sonic and ready to rumble. It was amazing, I had so many games on the platform and loved that vga box to connect to my monitor.
Puzzle fighter in vga on a nice monitor is pixel goodness!
Sega Dreamcast was one of my fav consoles at that time with so many classic games released for it in its short lifespan 1998-2002 enjoyed your video was amazing plus i need to get back into dreamcast again
Dreamcast introduced me with the intenet, and it is my last console. Still belive in Sega, keep dreaming
I remember Shenmue, when i arived to Hong Kong and just found in pockets all my souvenirs from part 1, except souvenirs there was are photo of Nozomi, and its was photo which i did. Only one the thought was in my head - OMG, how it possible?!
IMO Soul Calibur should have taken the #1 fighting spot. DOA 2 what outclassed by the ps2 version i.e. DOA 2 hardcore. Soul Calibur still held strong even after part 2 was released for the ps2 and GameCube.
DOA2 on the PS2 had aliasing issues that always made the DC the version to own imo.
Its a close one between Soul Calibur and DOA2; Soul Calibur had very impressive characters and effects, but the backgrounds where just that, backgrounds, your fights took place on a ring out platform. DOA2 had detailed characters too, but it also included detailed, interactive environments; fights would often continue in new areas of the stages.
Not seeing what bearing a PS2 version of DOA2 has here, but there was a japanese DC release of DOA2 called LE (Limited Edition) that included a lot of the content/costumes DOA 2 Hardcore for PS2 had.
It had jagged edges which ruined the look on PS2 and a Japan only version with the extra content of the PS2 was released for dreamcast later so I would say that is the best.
I remember as a kid I thought Virtua tennis 1+2 looked like real life practically lol, can't believe it wasn't talked about more here!
I wanted a Dreamcast so much when I was a kid. 'Course I never had the chance to own one. I wasn't aware most of these games ever existed.
I only knew about them from Tips&Tricks magazine or EGM.
man i miss playing the og phantasy star online please sega put it on the switch
Hey SLX, kudos for bringing attention to Rayman 2 for DC -- one of my top 5 Dreamcast games! It was one of the first games I played with my wife when we started dating, and we just couldn't believe how fun it was (or how far superior for some reason it was to the PS2 and N64 versions). As long as GameRankings existed, there was a record online of how well that DC version reviewed (it had the #6 all-time aggregate rank for DC, after SoulCalibur, Tony Hawk 1 & 2, NFL 2K1 & Code Veronica). But with 3D platformers fading into obscurity during the grim-'n'-gritty 7th generation, and now with GameRankings gone from the internet and Metacritic useless for games before the mid-2000s, only those of us who played and loved the game back then remember the feeling.
I re-play through a bunch of these classic old 3D platformers every summer with my kids, and after we do Spyro 3 this month, Rayman 2 for DC is next on the list! They may still end up loving Rayman Legends more, which they've been playing ever since they started with videogames, but that's OK!
The Dreamcast is certainly one of the best systems that fall into that "underrated" category. There are so many quality titles compared to the "stinkers". I am not a big fan of that damned controller, and need to get something a bit more modern, like the Retro Fighters controller (I have the Genesis version that I use for my Genesis Mini and love that thing). I am lucky to have the version of the console that can read burned discs, so I admit I have one helluva collection of titles that is rather lengthy coupled with the dozen or so legit discs. One game I think you should have considered for the racing list was the amazing Star Wars Ep 1 Racer. It was leaps beyond the N64 version, which was already impressive to begin with. The customizability, the steady difficulty curve, the fluid controls, and that speed.
Ep 1 Racer is a good call 👍
I have Space Channel 5 both legit and burned.
I bought the game but it's like a piece of history, I couldn't bring myself to take it out of it's shrink wrap. Same with Sonic Shuffle, except I opened it carefully and kept it in its wrapping to keep from getting the case scratched up. Plus, next to Pocket Adventure it's one of the few Sonic games that only stayed on it's original system.
Episode 1 racer on N64 did have some better features than the DC version, the DC had better resolution but it was a pc port missing a bunch of visual effects.
Soul Calibur's 60FPS blew my mind back then. It felt so smooth! Same as Rayman 2.
Try with hooking up with vga yout head will fall off
Totally agree! 😀👍
16:58 FINALLY someone recognizes yu suzuki game works volume 1!! i loved that disc!
Somebody's making Dreamcast video in 2020. This is alsome ! Always welcome, always brings great memories 👏👏👏
Wow. If you told me that Headhunter game was a PS2 or Xbox release, I would've probably believed it.
I LOVED Tokyo Highway Battle
As an English man, you reckonising Virtua striker 2 on DC is amazing. The VS series in the football world countries are easily forgotten as its all FIFA and PES which do a great job and in my opinion are the best online sports games. However if you don't upgrade every season it's old, outdated makes them a cash cow for EA etc. Where Virtua striker still scores is it doesn't outdate itself and the arcade playability not trying to simulate makes it playable time and time again. It's like world Cup italia 90 on the megadrive, they have their own style of how to play but when adapted or mastered it's fun and doesn't lose its charm
Well, quake 3 arena provided us with 4 player deathmatches, we had a blast back in the day!
You gave solid props to several games! Dreamcast is still my most played console (that sounded more impactful years ago, as my newest system is a 360. But who needs a 360 when Saturn and Dreamcast were rocking the world? Don’t tell my brother, but I rarely turn my gifted 360 on, as frankly, what I love to play is SEGA games. They brought the arcade home *for real* right before arcades died. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft cannot claim to do the same. SEGA made quarter-munchers like Crazy Taxi, VF2/3, Virtual On, and so many more fit perfectly at home! All the fighters, and Crazy Taxi had no competition in the home market.
Great video....so many classics I had almost forgotten about here. Truly was an awesome system the Dreamcast. I am so tempted to pick one up again and a crt monitor on eBay!
Man, what a video; You should check out Aero Wings 2 and Aero Dancing i ("i" stands for internet); they look the part; the second game has bump maps going on, under rainy clouds; looks good; and Aero Dancing i, sports some of the most insanely detailed jet models and texture detail that I've seen in that generation; Ace Combat be damned (I love me some Ace Combat, though).
When it comes to racers on Dreamcast, I'm torn between Daytona USA 2001 and Le Mans; cuz Daytona has a much more advanced dynamic shadowing system goin on; scenery casts dynamic 3 dimensional shadows and these cast realistically on vehicles when you drive through them... impressive stuff for a 2001 release; and...
I can't help but mention the car models in Tokio Xtreme Racer 2; they're unbelievably high poly, but other than that, it doesn't have much more going for its visuals...
...speaking of platformers; Sonic Adventure 2 was one of the most beautiful games at the time of its release, its texture resolution and detail was absurdly good!
Adventure 1 had a few great things goin for it too; it had tons of reflective, shiny textures goin on, everywhere! ...it was ahead of its time in many departments; but its draw distance was... not that good, and models, although super stylish, were really blocky, unfortunately.
You shold, too, give Red Dog a shot; it's not the best looker, texture wise, but it has dynamic shadows on vehicles and regular enemies, and they react to explosions, light sources and stuff; it's a cool game all around!
Test Drive LeMans was gorgeous at the time. My most played game on the system, and reason I bought a DC, was THPS2. I saw how incredible the game looked compared to the PSX version. Those visuals were the reason I bought a DC and I'm so happy I did 😎
I remember D2 looking great and Power Stone 1
The Shenmue extras disc with next-gen models should have gotten a mention. That was mind blowing back in the day. Nothing like it at the time.
Oh yeah, Code Veronica was a looker too. Pure bragging rights against Sony fans.
Ikaruga looks amazing 😲
That "Emerald Coast" Sonic Adventure track in my opinion Defined the Dreamcast as a Fresh new console back in '99. I still humm it from time to time. Im proud to still own mine with all my childhood/teen games. Imma play NFL 2k2 on my projector as a matter of fact. IT'S THINKING. 🔻
Le Mans - "480p never looked so good." It's my favourite dreamcast game and these days I'm running 4K with a rock solid 60fps cheat. The game is STILL stunning.
To be honest. I believe PSO should have a shoutout instead of Skies of Arcadia. Especially since the graphics held up so well over time. Something that can't really be said about Skies of Arcadia. (which is an awesome jrpg of course! can't argue that) once you get into the cave, mines and ruins in PSO they all have really nice effects and the whole game has a very solid and coherent look. The forest level looks a bit dated with today's standards, but the nice lava effects (cave1) , water caustics (cave2) reflections and texture effects (mines) look really clean even today. 😍
Lemans 24 hours was my favorite racing in PC 😍🤩
The Sega dreamcast still kicks ass. 😀👍🎮
Still the PS2 is superior mainly because it has a DVD drive you can say the PlayStation 2 was future-proof
@@redseagaming7832 the dreamcast should have play DVD's in the first place. 😀👍🎮
Skies of Arcadia, Man I love that game. Sure, the ship you end up getting is cool, but I still prefer the Little Jack and the Harpoon Cannon :D
The thing that I absolutely LOVE about the Dead Or Alive series is the Girls
Never did get a Dreamcast, but it seems like only yesterday I was a teenager flipping through the Dreamcast preview issue of EGM and marveling at the graphics. I think Sega should do a series of Dreamcast re-releases on the Switch, would be a good fit, and there are a few games I never got the chance to play that would be nice to have on a portable console.
I'll never forget 9/9/99, they day my dreams were cast. Might not be the best console of all time, but it's 100% my favorite.
Why no mention of Tokyo Extreme Racer games? Or PodRacer? Those games ran gorgeous on Dreamcast!
Man I loved the Dreamcast. From NBA, to NFL games were fun and exciting. WWE games also were awesome along with crazy taxi and other awesome games
Under defeat look technically better then Ikaruga. I mean just look at the particles and transparency effects.. The smoke effects even has physics reacting to the explosions around it. Never seen anything like that on Dreamcast. Thats crazy.
Dreamcast games had clean texture and something I cannot explain who made them more beautiful than PS2
Skies of Arcadia still impresses me to this day. Especially the entrance of the temple of Pirrin is still graphically impressive.
Sega should really bring this game to modern systems with only 2 modifications:
1.make the enemies visible so you don't have random encounters.
2. Somewhere in the middle of the game you need a heck lot of money to build your island which means you have to grind a lot. A simple change of the amount would do it.
Otherwise , don't change a thing!
Still can’t get over how good DOA2 is. It was and still is absolutely gorgeous
Nice! very cool games you got here, I feel like im dreaming with all these classics ! Good job
Shenmue, Dead or Alive 2, Force five, Sega rally championship, Project justice, Tomb Raider etc
I would say dead or alive 2,Speed devils,the two Powerstone,crazy taxi,Sonic adventures 2,Confidential mission etc.
Nice video, i nerver played headhunter but it looks realy cool. DC is my favorite system.
Many games on the system are still looking so great... Technology ahead of it's time... Just a perfect device done by Sega bringing arcade quality into our homes...
Phantasy star online blew me away and soul Calibur is in my opinion the best looking game on the system. The Dreamcast was the last system I was truly excited for. Each game that released was exciting and fun.
My favorite DC game visually is the one I originally bought the console for; Resident Evil (3): Code Veronica. That opening movie scene may be the best opening in the entire series to this day.
Shenmue, Soul Calibur, Quake 3 & Phantasy Star Online also blew me away.
thought this will mentioned the #VirtualOnOratorioTangram, which it has just ported to the PS4 in the collection of "Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Masterpiece 1995~2001" last year in Japan
#電脳戦機バーチャロンマスターピース19952001
but thanks to show a clip at the very end of @19:15 :)
Dead or Alive 2, Soul Calibur, Zombie Revenge, Power Stone series, and Virtua Fighter 3tb had the best visuals
Chu chu Rocket should win the puzzle category, this game capture 2000 estetic very well
I remember the Dreamcast was so hard to find in indiana at the time of their release, I remember getting one right after Christmas in 1999 and I got fighting force 2 and blue stinger 😭😭🤣 games was wack but they looked better than anything I'd seen at the time then I got MK Gold, sonic adventure and soul calibur and wow was i blown away. SC looked better on DC than arcade. Unbelievable at the time. Miss these days.
Ecco was so good ,Got insanely hard if i remember :)
The helicopter shooter looks amazing
I didn't noticed it for the first winners of the list, because I didn't know their soundtracks...
but at 5:10 I heared the *Headhunter's* one and then I relized you "spoiled" every single winner by using its BGM from the begin of any category.
The most graphically impressive game on Dreamcast for me was Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram. I've clocked countless hours on the Virtual On: Cyber Trooper for PC. First time I got to play the Dreamcast version, my mind were utterly blown and makes me think "yep the future is here".
