i could listen to the dreamcast startup theme for hours
email notification
Same, or the original 360 startup
+soundlessleaf80 "original 360"
Seems legit
SilverSurfer16 YT lol
So could I
The Dreamcast was pretty much the heart of my childhood. Arguably the best first party line-up of all time, incredible arcade ports, some of the best fighting and multiplayer games ever, had the first subscription based console MMO and was the first system to make use of cel-shading. Such an incredible machine that sadly died long before its time.
Soul Calibur is still awesome to this day.
Lotus Prince Hasn't aged a day since its release. Kind of ironic how more recent SC games have aged considerably worse than the first 3.
Woodo
Early PS2 3D games seem to age a lot more than any of the Dreamcast 3D games. Shenmue still looks good. That's quite a feat, considering that this is the age of HD gaming.
first party? the whole console was just ports lol its a port machine
Lotus Prince Huh. I never noticed that until now but you're right. Games like Oni and Dynasty Warriors 2 are certainly testament to that. I think it helps that the Dreamcast came out when Sega were at their most creative design wise.
The Dreamcast. She went before her time.
+The Sonic Fan (Dominic) The Neptunia series says otherwise. Plus lead connections have "male" and "female" ends (a USB wire for example is "male" but the port is "female), which means every electronic you plug something into is technically a "she".
i like what your saying, Sega hard girls?
+Madness1 What about a USB extension?
Rabid Koala Technically it's male and female, so maybe siamese? Or a male connector which likes things up the rear.
yeah maby
I still have and play my dreamcast. Phantasy Star Online will never get old.
U can still play online?
User I don't play online, but I think there are ways people can. Not sure how but the power of google will probably explain it. ^_^
me i still
I'm thinking about getting a Dreamcast for Christmas, what would I have to do to make it play games online again?
+referral madness thank you my good man
They should do a Did You Know Gaming episode on Did You Know Gaming.
That wouldn't be about gaming. It'd be about the channel.
Lotus Prince JOKE
------------------------------------------
YOUR HEAD
craig shaw
Assuming it was a joke, of course.
Oh silly ManToast youuuu. *Crowd laughs*
Lotus Prince it has to have been
Great video! The Dreamcast will always be one of my favorite consoles. I was obsessed with it back in the day.
9.9.99
It's Thinking...
Just wanted to say even if I don't use google* often I think it's awesome you added me. I'm Chris Heredia on Facebook. You've probably seen me. I'm also as you can see vinbuscus on UA-cam lol. I'm a long time viewer. 6 years. And thank you David you are awesome!!
can somebody tell me the music used here in thisvideo
Ah the memories I have of getting mine home and booting up House of the Dead 2, good times there....good times
AlphaOmegaSin *sobs* the memories are *sobs* too strong. *starts crying*
That motion controller looks like one of the Wii prototype controllers!
Jack Registeel it totally does
So Sega inadvertently created PlayStation and Xbox, looks like Sega did defeat Nintendo in the long run
hahahaha thats dope!
Actually Nintendo won the console war due to Sega systems having horrible hardware even worse the NES a 8 bit console had better hardware than s 16 bit console the Sega Genesis
The truth is even more ironic, you want to know why Sony came to Sega for a console idea? because Nintendo backstabed them out of the deal. Nintendo first wanted a partnership with Sony to make a CD based console and the first concept looked like the playstation but Nintendo then canceled the partnership without telling Sony so Sony wanted sweet sweet revenge.
Faust Girl From what I remember (I can be completely wrong here) Nintendo contacted Sony to create a CD add on to the Snes much like the Sega CD, but Nintendo backed away and instead went to Philips to create it and shockingly backed away again, thus leading to the CDi as well as the PlayStation and we all know what happened after that.
Home4infiniteLosers
I've heared that Sony and Nintendo were working on a new game console, but Sony wanted to support 3rd party developers. Nintendo didn't want that, so they cut the deal.
Man, so many rumours xD
Anyone who bought a Sega Dreamcast on launch day. Had the most powerful console with the best graphics, for a whole year. Thanks to my friend bringing his Dreamcast over to my house. Because I had a big screen TV. I was able to experience that year. People would be walking in the house, thinking a real football game was on, when we played NFL 2k.
+referral madness thanks for the link, I'm gonna sign the petition.
+referral madness You won't get anywhere. Do you seriously think sega will be able to do that in the state that they're in right now. It would make more sense for them to just make a new super monkey ball game or some GOOD games for once.
referral madness You might be right. The only thing I see that they could do now for console gaming would be to make a steam machine
+Kart On Fire! Hey guys, how about a collection of the Sega Dreamcast's greatest hits collection, for the PS4. Here is the question, can they fit a few games on one disc, or would it be put in the PS Store for download? I'm still not all that cool with downloading full games on to my console. I still love having the physical disc. I know in the future we might all have to download our games. I did hear Sony and/or Microsoft, might put their games on SD cards, for the next gen, in a few years. I could deal with that, because I would still be able to go to the store, and buy some type of physical game.
They've made a lot of Dreamcast collections. How about a Sega Saturn collection.
The Dreamcast was too advanced for its time.
Your icon really adds to your comment
Strawberry the Glaceon oh, stop it, you.
Cause they predicted potatoes would be a thing
SolidSanics Dreamcast didn't fail with the gamers. The gamers failed with the Dreamcast.
no
Man, Sony was ruthless when it came to creating the Playstation. All but steeling Sega's console plans to create the Playstation, and getting started on the gaming train because they felt burned by Nintendo and wanted revenge.
That's why to this day, I still don't support Playstation in any way.
I am very content with my Dreamcast and it's wealth of games and SEGA IPs, that Sony only *later* had to rely on SEGA games to bulk it's library with at least something quality, because of all of the Playstation's inclination towards it's in-house shovelware.
Well in a way microsoft did the same for the xbox .
Don't forget that the PlayStation was going to be a SNES Add-on.
SwankeyMonkey yeah, the dreamcast died way before playstation came out. if anything sega fucked it up before dreamcast with the satern. dreamcast was only popular for about a week. the sales after that week, maybe two weeks if you're feeling randy, just dropped off. there excuse was that they just didn't make enough for supply and demand. the playstation didn't come til like a year later.
shadowspider9 Hey, when you know it's your time to shine, you can't help it when you beat the competition. Playstation had so many good games too. I am a Sega lover, always will be, but Sega made too many bad business decisions and remember, Sega was proven to be just as ruthless in the past as well with their advertising. It would be awesome if they all collaborated and made a super console.
Did you know that this console fell into obscurity faster than Bubsy?
Fuck Bubsy, that cat was the bane of my childhood
Mat Milo But what about Bubsy 3D
Michael Lambert don't mention that....
Michael Lambert those were dark days for us all
Michael Lambert
its in the pit with the last airbender movie
I got one in 2001 there has yet to be a console as unique as it was.
Mr Eighty
The Switch?
The Sega Dreamcast is truly a gem in console history. It was advanced, powerful, and had its own network, leading to the advancement of more online networks.
Sega never really made a *bad* console, not even the SG-1000 was bad, they were just overshadowed for the most part.
For some reason, the Dreamcast feels so... timeless. It has enough graphical capability to not look dated when put next to other next-gen systems, it still has unofficial games produced for it, and most games on the system still justify a purchase 16 years later.
... Dang, I want a Dreamcast now.
I think we all want Dreamcasts now.
If you do ever pick one up, try out Ed Edd n Eddy: Nightmare on Ed Street.
It's a Beats of Rage homebrew mod that's decently fun.
I bought a dreamcast a while ago (around 5 months ago) and I'm still playing it. It's a really good system and that's coming from a 14 year old
Oh no, trust me, Dreamcast games will graphically pale in comparison to most if not all PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games.
I have one in a box, it used to be my brothers, it has no wire or hookups though
daleva187goligo or controller
3 favorite games that i played in dreamcast:
Soul Calibur
Crazy Taxi
Resident Evil: Code Veronica
The Best 7th Birthday ever when the Sega Dreamcast came out 2 weeks after I just turned 7 years old. Thank You Sega for the Dreamcast
Wii U is the Dreamcast of this era. So many good games and potential overshadowed by the success of sales over the other consoles.
I have to disagree on that. The Dreamcast had a much, much better starting lineup of games when it was released in the US instead of falling flat on its face the first year, not to mention the DC also had a more varied library of games. The Dreamcast also brought some new features the gaming world instead of a few gimmicks .
On a business point, yeah it fell flat but the process in developing for ALL these new systems are taking a lot more time then anyone expected. But from a gamer's point, some of the grade A games are already here and the rest of the highly anticipated games are coming. People keep referring to the GamePad as a gimmick. If you played with it, you'll realize it is more used as a tool and does not get in the way of gameplay, only adds to it.
North American UA-camr well, in general Nintendo has money whereas Sega did not.
Javy G Maybe but bear in mind the DC started well and then the PS2 momentum started going and pretty well ended the possibility of it getting a good foothold (along with wonky biz decisions Sega made of course) the Wii U has been around for 2 1/2 years and started as a fizzle but hasn't died just yet as opposed to Sega's announcement at 18 months.
Dreamcast has a much, much better and more innovative library, with masterpieces in every genre, and the technology was groundbreaking. Nintendo did not innovate with the hardware or software of the Wii U, and suffered for it. They are just now recapturing that creative spirit with the Switch that Sega had while creating the Dreamcast
Ah... Grandia II, Jet Set Radio, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online, and Sonic Adventure 1 & 2. Thank you so much Dreamcast.
"I ate a potato chip."
"What flavor?"
"VMU flavor."
CoasterKing it’s so GOOD
So Sega unintentionally caused Sony and Microsoft to enter the video game market. Huh.. Is it me or are video game companies creating their own competition?
DrClay999 Most likely :/
Microsoft yes sony no we have Nintendo to thank for that. Also the PS1 was made to compete against the N64 as more of a revenge tactic against nintendo
Yup. Nintendo also helped sony get it into the console market. Nintendo sales have been shaky since then.
@Schweirdo Nooo, the idea for the PS1 came about because Sony had developed a prototype disk-based system for Nintendo, but Nintendo decided to continue using cartridges and develop their own system, so Sony said screw it and released it on their own. PS1 was squarely aimed at the Sega Saturn, quickly surpassed it, then continued to dominate the market when the N64 came out a couple of years later.
Actually, Sony got in because Nintendo stabbed them in the Back with the SNES CD add-on Sony was supposed to make. A Major reason Microsoft came into the Market because they wanted to Compete with the PS2 after realising it was taking over Homes.
Back in 2002 I got a Dreamcast from some random guy staying with my mom along with like twenty games and an internet adapter that's now worth up to 200$. That guy literally disappeared and I've never seem him since.
+SwankeyMonkey Ikr
You could also try out the Sega Saturn. Go to Game Over Video games online store.
Was his name by any chance Segata Sanshiro?
SheerSonic Sanshiro-san going from town to town, leaving good little boys rare exclusives, like our own SEGA Santa Claus.
Domo arigato Sega Claus!
Martin Luther King would've been proud. We should all aspire to have a Dream......cast.
Fuck it I'm done with this shit.
I thought he was against sega-gation XD
masterbj1990 FIGHT DA POWER STONE!!
nah I'd rather go to saturn
I hate myself
Gappy's 4 Balls But I love you...
You Jew to be killing me!!! Lol
Dat Skies of arcadia footage when he talks about piracy...
+CarozQH Such a good rpg, I have an itch to play it =/.
+CarozQH mind blown!!!!
+CarozQH well you play as a pirate in Skies of Arcadia
Tiago Matos
I know, thats why i wrote that comment...
+Tiago Matos Duh
6:53 I'm really glad I didn't find that out when I was young. That probably would've given me nightmares for days or even weeks.
Ninjinfox22 I was thinking the same thing. But then again I already had nightmares from Rayman 2 on the dc…
best start up sound ever🔊🔊🔊🔊
Dreamcast was released on 9/9/99, video is 9 minutes long, the square root of 9 is 3; Half-Life 3 confirmed!
WOOHOO!!!
nice logic
hey don't blame me! I want that game!
8:59 actually
Or... Half Life 3 gets released 3rd of march 2033!
Why do I feel like this was more about the Xbox than the Dreamcast. lol. If you make a part 2, you might want to mention how the Dreamcast had a VGA output allowing it to play nicely on computer monitors and HD televisions of the time.
Brings back soo many great memories. I love you Dreamcast, You were a great friend.
Man I loved the Dreamcast and still play it from time to time! What a great system!
Why so much footage of Nights Into Dreams for PSN / XBLA ? ... It was a Saturn Game & the Dreamcast sequel never existed and no picture have ever filtered... Re-using footage of the early remake bugs me to no end as DYKG is usually flawless...
Benzaie sur une vidéo de DYKG ! *-*
This was probably one of their favorite games which might explain why they chose to show this much footage... But you're right anyway... :/
That's whats bugging you? Not the fact that they picked the most fucking ugly area to get footage for Phantasy Star?
Bacongeneral At least that was on the dreamcast unlike Nights !
BenzaieLive
At least the Nights footage looked good compared to Phantasy Star !
Honestly the caves were the worst possible choice for showing the game off and could you pick a better place than a doorway?
There was a sequel to Nights Into Dreams for the Wii, actually.
Anyone remember the Power Stone series on the Dreamcast? Those games were awesome! I still play them to this day
I fucking loved those games!
Powerstone was awesome!!!
Hell yeah, remember mixing the weapons and items in that chamber thing to make dope ass weapons?
So much yes. I loved those games
Fuck yea!! they need to port that shit to the xbox.
dang. idk how long you guess take on these but i appreciate it. every video you make is like a slap of nostalgia. havent even been a subscriber for more then three weeks and ive watched all your "Did you know gaming" series.
You guys consistently have the best background music to your facts...Like seriously!
Hearing the Dreamcast start up sound just brought back so many memories. So much nostalgia.
:)
The sound always brings me to my Pavlovian happy place.
Man, I loved the Dreamcast. It was so perfect, It was the best console. There were no flaws. I can feel the nostalgia coming back.
(sarcasm intended)
I'M REALLY FEELING IT
the only flaws i can think of are the design of the controller, and the fact that it didn't have enough of a third party support to stand against the powerhouse that was the PS1.
***** It failed because people didnt trusted Sega anymore, and the PS2 could play DVDs.
No flaws? Hahahahaha
Plenty of flaws, sadly. Only one analogue stick and no DVD support were the two biggest, and ultimately meant the PS2 rapidly took over.
This is by far my favorite DYKG video. Some very interesting stuff here. Especially that bit about MIL-CD.
Wasn't expecting to see Brutalmoose on this one lol, always great to see another video with him.
DYKG: TY The Tasmanian Tiger. Make it happen =)
wouldnt hate it :3
Jak and Daxter maybe?
Hey I've seen you comment on Destinys videos :D
Sly Cooper, too.
Thats one of my favorite ps2 games!
Did you know the Dreamcast' text font is Tahoma from Windows
The Dreamcast will forever hold a place in my heart. I absolutely loved it. Sonic Adventure was absolutely addicting.
My buddy got it for Christmas because his parents stood in line for hours, they said. I recall it being very popular on release. I was always at his house playing it until I got my own.
Dreamcast is probably my last console that really pulls on my nostalgia strings. It's the last console that really was just so big in my childhood. Still got mine, too. Still collecting games for it.
The beginning song is Emerald Coast from Sonic Adventure, and the end song is After the Dream from Nights into Dreams
Did Sony just team up with everybody until they had learnt enough about gaming to make their own console?
Dreamcast was way ahead of its time.
exactly
NO!!
I remember getting the Dreamcast on launch day.. it seemed so ahead of its time with built in ethernet port, internet browser, and advanced graphics. One of the first games I played was Seaman with the included microphone attachment.. and let's just say I never played a game like that or expected to at the time. I was blown away and have many fond nostalgic memories of the short lived system, like enjoying mindless hours playing Crazy Taxi or simply admiring the cute little characters that would pop up on the VMU (Video Memory Unity, the memory card with a screen basically) and playing little mini-games on the VMU. I thought it was a cool idea to have your memory card basically be a little handheld system with it's own screen and operating system built in with little mini-games. It also changed what was on the screen depending on what game you were playing on your Dreamcast as well as reacting to events within the game as well in real-time. Very cool and ahead of its time in a lot of ways.
I am very happy to see you used one of my videos (i.e. the one with PSO online gameplay at 2:52) to make your video, which is very good by the way :)
1999-2001. Too early to discontinue the Dreamcast back then.
Ramon Ramirez But it was still popular in Japan for years and their were even ntsc/pal version on dreamcast being produced along with original Japanese dreamcast releases.
Ramon Ramirez he should discontinue the dreamcast very early because the ps2 killed it
The Dreamcast, an unsung hero of gaming that was WAY ahead of its time and paid for its predecessors sins. Also, it is MINDBLOWING that both Nintendo AND SEGA played huge parts into Sony making the PlayStation. Nintendo basically forced Sony's hand to make the console and SEGA gave them the blueprint of how to make the PS1.
But the additional kicker is that SEGA basically birthed Xbox or GREATLY influenced it as well the creation of Xbox Live. Microsoft was actually AGAINST the idea at the time. All of these were all of SEGA's ideas in addition to other things thought crazy by most to implement then but are standards now. This is all insane.
Tl;dr version = SEGA inadvertently created Xbox and PlayStation (at least in the form it is now), Nintendo also inadvertently created PlayStation (as well as Philips CDi) and now both PlayStation and Xbox took the spots of SEGA and Nintendo as the two biggest consoles on the market. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Video game history is so damn exciting since they rarely ever talk about the behind the scenes things back in the day and they aren't constantly documented like they are now. SEGA, it's a pity what happened to you post Dreamcast. If only the world had been ready for you and you were more business savvy. You'd probably be ruling the industry right now.
The DreamCast will forever remain high in my heart. It was one of my first game consoles, and I was always more of a Sega kid growing up. I'm greatly saddened by its short lifespan.
My Dreamcast is hooked to my CRT via S-video and I still play it all the time. What a wonderful little system, even if it died young.
Man, stay off the light speed!
my bad!
6:53-7:05 I think I'm gonna have nightmares! D: (I have a fear of warning messages)
***** Duuuude same :o
***** I love the rush of tose warning messages. idk why.
The dreamcast was probably my favorite console of its time. I still consider it one of the best to this day. I remember saving for a year or two and begging my mom for one, we were pretty broke in those days so I didn't get one until right around the time they were discontinued. I was devastated. But I had a nice little back log of really good titles to go through and I enjoyed it immensely. I remember playing resident evil code Veronica and being blown away by how amazing it looked. It looked even better than the ps2 port.
This gave me a nostalgia. still waiting on it to go down
Did you know: people are still making games for release on the Dreamcast; despite it being discontinued the year I was born?
It's in the video m8.
NES- Did You Know Gaming?
It's just a suggestion.
The 64th Shadow The SNES isn't the NES you insensitive fuck.
The 64th Shadow Is a SNES a NES
The 64th Shadow Thought I'd point out he asked about the NES not the SNES :)
The 64th Shadow Epic fail tho.
Lmao you guys are assholes but then again how do you confuse a NES to a SNES? ! XD
I love you guys for this!
3:35 I didn't even know Crazy Taxi had sequels yet alone a 3rd installment.
I own a Dreamcast, think it's okay, but I personally stick to my Saturn even more. I love 2D games, loves its even more comfortable 3D Pad and significantly comfier 2D Pad and wish it had homebrew games released for it. I wish it had more games in general, too, but the games that I do own for it utilize the system in the best imaginable way.
As revolutionary as it was, the Dreamcast should have came later on. The Saturn needs love too, but SEGA did not think so. And lots of people simply judge it as a failure without realizing the potential it had within. Also, its online still works as well. And I think it has a fantastic library of hits that many people besides myself should experience.
It does. Japanese Saturns use a server for their Netlink, well American Saturns use dial-up.
***** Look it up on UA-cam, too! People have videos of them testing it out. Someone was doing a Netlink match as recently as a few months ago! :D
***** I have over a few dozen games for it and they are all pretty memorable.
Medachod Ever heard of Bleemcast? The group had figured out how to get it to boot PS1, Gameboy, and some SNES games on it. Not sure about Saturn, but that wouldn't be a far stretch of the imagination.
If people could figure out how to beat the devs and pirate cartridge games, it should be possible on the first Windows OS console.
CheffBryan That does sound interesting. If Bleemcast could do just as good of a job as SSF can in booting up Saturn games at full speed (even games that failed to run fast normally, such as Castlevania and Waku Waku 7; both run at full speed on this emulator, but not on a real Saturn) then that does sound interesting.
*Raises controller* Long Live the Sega Dreamcast
+dandroid98 Well, it didn't really live long...
+LuigiDoesStuff Mexico still make third party OEM Dreamcast up to 2011, and theres more under ground factory all over the world doing the same thing, so it was somewhat like an underground resistent group of the gaming market
referral madness
You can order brand new dreamcast and all the parts you need to repair it form sega and there is the proof you need, they came in many place, mexico, china, servreal countries of asia and eastern europe, cuba and south africa. Seen them at a console repair shop next to one of my customer.
referral madness
I am not sure about the link, but I know they dial up to sega with phone numbers, tough they won't give it out easily. Cause you know, those are business screct.
+Saviliana got a link to buy brand new dream cast?
Ryuichi Sakamoto is my favorite composer. He has the most melancholic piano pieces I've ever heard.
When I saw Aerowings for the first time it changed my life, the feeling of seeing how real that looked hasn't been matched by any system since then(maybe because of age), but to me the dreamcast is the best system I've ever owned.
Goddamn pirates. Don't they see the damage they do?
+Michael Pappano
None, many surveys point out that pirates in most cases are not potential custommers. That means if they had no means to pirate they would not possess the hardware in the first place nor the pirated software
Other information says differently. Regardless, it's illegal, immoral and shameful.
+Michael Pappano
What other information? There is no credible source that says otherwise. All anti-piracy adds and campaigns are done by the producers or lobbyists.
In the case of Sega Dreamcast the rampant piracy was the direct result of Sega taunting hackers by spreading lies about GD-Rom technology and claiming it to be impossible to circumvent. Hackers don't take such statements lightly, you know?
picketf and that gives them the right to do what they did? Not in my opinion.
The moral of the story is the real world isn't black and white. So circumventing security is beneficial and defeating arrogance through humbling measures too. But most important is the fact that nothing is absolute specially when it comes to hackers and pirates. The harder a company tries to fight piracy the harder these individuals will fight back. It turns out that many GD-ROMS didn't actually use 1GB of data, more like 70-100mb which was just about the right size for people to share the games online. In the end SEGA dug their own grave with their lies.
Where's James Small when you need him?
Fapping to Chu Chu Rocket.
I got goosebumps multiple times throughout this video.
The dreamcast was so fkn ahead of its time it's almost unreal with motion controls and online capabilities alone. no one was even really thinking about that stuff back then.
Sega needs to stop making stupid decisions and get back to making unique games like the Dreamcast was known for.
Or at least make those games that people loved on the dreamcast for modern consoles
Exactly! Sega has so many amazing IP under their belt and yet all they do is make more bad Sonic games.
Or maybe actually be a sovereign company instead of a division of Sammy. That'd at least be a start.
They actually do, they just don't release them outside of Japan though.
Alien Isolation. Discussion over.
Bought a Dreamcast today!
Hope you're enjoying it!
Nintendofanboy 1889 is it awesome?!
Sucker!
The sound of a dreamcast booting up still gives me chills. On a separate note, you know what would be swell? A "Golden Sun" did you know gaming episode
Still remember playing Quake 3 Arena, Unreal Tournament, PSO and a bunch of other games online for Dreamcast way before Online gaming was a standard for Console gaming. Dreamcast was definitely way ahead of its time. Kudos to Sega for going out with a bang in the Console market.
That is an impressive amount of storage on their disks.
1.2 GB? DVD-ROM discs (PS2 and Xbox) can hold 4.7 GB, four times as much.
doctor345678
Yeah, but the Dreamcast predated those systems.
Impressive compared only to PS1 and N64 standards. Even GameCube discs held more memory
Sjono I mean, for the time.
If it were for the 5th gen yeah, but it'd be already outdated by time its competitors arrived. It'd get worse third party support than GameCube
So Sega partnered with a fighter jet company???Thats cool.
Most video game technology is based on military contractor technology.
+Jack Barrington no but the PS3 was.(that was said in the PS3 video)
I've loved this console for as long as i can remember. I still play Power Stone 2, Guilty Gear X, and THPS2
Seeing all those games brings back memories...
DYK the correct way to pronounce SEGA is 'Say-ga' not 'Segga'
Source - the loading screen and sound of every single sega game ever made.
I like the Dreamcast its not the best system but for Sega's last console they left with a bang.
jeez. i was a hardcore sega fanboy back in those days and i still didnt know 3/4ths of what they mentioned in that video. i already knew sega was a pioneer for many aspects of gaming that are used today but i had no idea to what level until now. its like sega could see the future and the only thing stopping them was money and business management. since they went software only, ive lost interest in sega over the years but its good to see that theyre still alive and kicking in some shape or form. sega will always have a special place in my heart because the master system was my first ever home games console. funny considering that i actually wanted an nes but my mom bought the wrong system thinking that they were all "the same". that was probably the best "mistake" she ever made because if she didnt i never wouldve been so devoted to the sega saturn plus never bought a netlink plus never frequented irc which was a highly used feature with planetweb's browser which led me to meet the future mother of my children. this is ironic considering that for most of my life my mother said that videogames would never amount to anything in life when in reality it gave her grand kids and more importantly, a granddaughter (my mom never gave birth to girls despite her wanting a daughter very badly). well, im rambling now but this video couldnt help but stir up some pleasant memories of my past, both in and out of gaming. sega, thanks for the good times. :)
that was an amazing review. loved it
Now Sega is just giving us shitty sonic games.
two words:bayonetta 2
And Total War
And Alien Isolation
And Yakuza
And Football Manager
And Hatsune Miku (For some reason)
What do you mean? Sonic Gen and colors were fucking awesome.
I knew my father has flaws. At least his's doing well.
sega is known for arcade games look at japan club sega the dreamcast was just a glorified arcade port machine
Wow. Uzume had it really tough. She has been beaten by both Noire and Vert very hard, and then piracy. No wonder that she's living in a shitty world. If I was her, I would be really envious of Neptune.
Hyperdimension Neptunia reference right there
Nooooooo
It died so young, and had so many good games for it. Man, I have so many nostalgic memories for that console, and I still keep it and it's games with me to this day.
What? The hell's a Dreamcast? No, I'm talking about the Gamecube!
I miss playing the Dreamcast. I had fond memories with it as a kid.
Come on wtf. What is the song at 5:30 that plays throughout the video! Someone deliver damnit!!!!
"Potato chip" I GET IT!
I’ve always seen the original Xbox as Dreamcast 2 especially when it came to its online functions and Sega sequels like Toejam and Earl being released on it.
Wow you can still find new releases on Dreamcast ? That is amazing !
Should I get a dreamcast?
I still play mine, but then I have a lot of the games and since most aren't available on virtual consoles, it's the only way to play them.
It would be difficult to get nowadays as they seemed to have Disappeared after the PS2 destroyed it, and that was back in 2001.
The Dreamcast didn't fail.
We failed the Dreamcast.
I couldnt concentrate on the video I was too busy feeling nostalgic feels over the sonic music in the background
I just bought my first Dreamcast system yesterday. Already in love with it.
The Dreamcast was a total microcosm of Sega as a whole. Yeah, the Dreamcast was great, but did any one of us mourn when it died? Nope. We were all too busy enjoying the PS2 and eagerly awaiting the Gamecube and Xbox.
Sega was always the generous well-meaning Joe but just could never get out of it's own way. Their games were always good but were never the best games. Their consoles were strong, but never the strongest consoles. Even before their mediocre third-party days, they always had missed potential. You enjoyed their company, but there was always someone better than them, wether it would be Nintendo, Sony or whoever. When Sega was belting out B-quality games, everyone else was posting masterpieces. We enjoyed the Dreamcast while it lasted, but then came the Playstation 2 and the rest is history.
I don't think Sega really had the drive to be great. They were satisfied just being a good option, and I think that's why they always failed.
People liked Sega because they always had POTENTIAL. But when push came to shove, they never lived up to it. We all wish that once, just once, they would have the breakthrough.
Now, we have Bounce Pads and Bandages to their name.
I mourned its passing. I bought one on launch with saved money from my first job as a mantnence man at a camp for muscle distrophy kids.. it was fuckin great. Nfl2k changed the game. It was a great console. I loved it, right up until i may or may not have traded it for a big bag of ... basil ...
Let's face facts. The only successful Sega console was the Genesis. While Nintendo had success with the NES, the SNES, the N64, the Gamecube, and the Wii and Sony has had success with all it's home consoles. I've seen Sega fanboys say that if Sega makes another console it will destroy Sony and Microsoft and that's sad because they think Sega can actually make another successful console because they've never been able to make a console that's sold like the Genesis did and even then the Genesis still didn't sell as much as the SNES.
Jake Murrin I don't think that's what his point was. His point was that no one cared when the dreamcast flopped and no one cared when Sega dropped out of the console market and got bought by sammy. The truth is the only successful Sega console was the Genisis and all the consoles after the genisis were a failure. Also by saying that Sega developed more good games than any other developer in the entire video game industry makes you sound like a huge Sega fanboy.
Jake Murrin Still didn't sell well.
Brandon MacLeod The N64 and Gamecube weren't successful consoles. They didn't do horribly, but they were crushed by the Playstation One and Two. The N64 sold less than a third what the PS1 did and the Gamecube sold something like a seventh of what the PS2 did.
The Dreamcast wasn't a rousing success either mind you, at only half of what the Gamecube sold. I'm just saying trying to prop up Nintendo like every system they made sold like hotcakes is painting the picture a little skewed.
Painfully ironic that both Nintendo and Sega are the result of Sony joining the console race.
Rewatching but cried tears of joy.
RIP Dreamcast, you will forever be in our hearts.
Sony Should Thank Sega for Virtua Fighter
How can a Sega fan not cringe when hearing the word Sony. The Apple of gaming, gets credited for everything invents nothing.
I miss the Dreamcast. It's sad it never took off, but it was the only system I actually imported and then bought again when it released in America. I loved that system. I think it would be in my top 3 favorite consoles of all time. Next to SNES and probably Playstation.
I miss the VMU, it was brilliant. I'm surprised no one did something similar again.
