They were kind of right, I mean, Dreamcast isn't a bad console, but in 1999 people who were invested in videogames know that in 1 year PS2 and GameCube came out, and also they know Sega and the things they did so people don't trust them. And people who weren't invested in videogames didn't know that Dreamcast was a competent console, they know ps1 and Nintendo 64 better.

PS2 version looks better.. that more washed out and darker colors lend themselves better to the horror atmosphere.

I'll never forget going over my new neighbors' house as a kid and discovering they had this new console called a "Dreamcast". I'd never heard of it. At the time, I'd only ever played NES, SNES, N64, and PS1. After saying that I thought N64 had the best graphics of any console, the 3 boys started chuckling to themselves in a knowing way. Then they booted it up. I was instantly mesmerized. I'd never seen graphics that advanced running so smoothly! I didn't have the language to describe why it looked so different back then, but now I know it was definitely due to the framerate and 480p. Not only were the textures and models great, the whole presentation just looked so different and new. Now I know why. Then the PS2, GameCube, and XBOX came out and I never heard about the Dreamcast again until adulthood. It was ahead of it's time, but got overtaken in popularity so quickly. I probably only saw it used in person just a few times in my life. My neighbors moved on to other consoles mere months after getting the Dreamcast. It made a lasting impression on me though. Even when games with "better graphics" came out soon after, for the most part they still had that muddy/ghosting look with an unstable or low framerate. The clarity and smoothness of the Dreamcast was simply unreal at the time.

That effect does not exist anymore. Yes stuff nowadays is more advanced but graphics on my Series X vs my Xbox 360 are oddly similar to the untrained eye.

@@torres3800 Definitely. The jump to 360 was pretty mind-blowing to me as well. I remember thinking graphics probably couldn't get much better than CoD4 and Halo 3. It was also the first time I'd seen consoles with HD support for TVs (that input lag was serious, but I didn't care unless I was playing competitively). Still, I had no conception of how good graphics could be until the Dreamcast. Like I said, the N64 and even PS1 cutscenes blew my mind as a kid. Ever since the 360 generation, everything's been improving much slower. New games look fantastic, but they don't "wow" me anymore. I almost expect them to look amazing. I can be impressed with new games, but I'm never shocked or amazed these days. I don't know if we'll ever see that kind of jump in tech again when it comes to graphics. We may get some new things in the future as far as the way games are played or experienced, but at the moment we just have increases in lighting effects, resolution, and framerate.

Great video. The PS2 is such an awesome system but I'll always have a soft spot for the Dreamcast. The differences in SOF is interesting. There are fewer details and assets in some scenes on the DC, likely due to it have less system memory, but the textures look better and that's probably from it having twice as much texture memory. I'm also not sure the ghosting in RECV is from the interlaced mode, you can still see it in the 480p mode in your video. Many studios tried to use a blur effect on PS2 to cover jaggies since it didn't have native AA support, so I'm wondering if that's what we're seeing here. Looking forward to your other videos!

One things I noticed in this video is the the DC is displaying square pixels. What that means is that the image is not distorted. The PS2 image is slightly lower resolution on the horizontal axis, which you can tell simply by looking at the shapes of things, especially faces, which you are more used to assessing if they look too wide.

About Crazy taxi: Sega always had an issue with transparency and fog.

Curiously, in the same game, we can see ghosts with real transparency, but not much as 85 percent opacity. I think this could be some of patent struggling between companies.

@@KimTe63 Would love to see a Saturn and DC mini, but they keep making different versions of the MD/Genesis mini lol.

Dreamcast games like Crazy Taxi may look better for the most, but many of them were hampered by slowdown when things got busy.

I never got the love for code Veronica, the move to 3D seemed premature, I much preferred the ambience of the backdrops in the 1st 3 games. The story moved from something that was believable enough in western movie kind of way into what was basically anime tropes, most people hated Steve & the puzzle back tracking was annoying this time around. Also it seemed entirely possible to brick your progress with the plane flight. When you compare this to RE4 on the same system it manages to look rather basic. I didn't hate the game. Just puzzled how it seems to be one of the better received entries in the series.

Crazy Taxi is one of my favourite games ever. Dreamcast looks much better. The mip mapping on Dreamcast is always really noticeable though. Maybe you could show a framerate graph more often. I prefer you keep it limited to stock footage. Soldier of Fortune was really rushed on the Dreamcast and was released at a budget price. It plays well with mouse and keyboard, but the framerate and loading times are horrible. They probably deleted a lot of details to get it to run at an acceptable rate and still get it out before the Dreamcast wouldn't be a viable platform anymore. I did complete it at the time though and had fun with it. Resident Evil Code V: I love the vmu function. I only have the PAL version. Don't understand why they dropped the VGA support. I did know that this was the case. I really don't like the extra blur on the PS2 version. Colour grading is much better on the Dreamcast. Texture resolution looks to be higher on Dreamcast. Prefer the Dreamcast version.

Thanks for comment (y) Yea id like to show framerate more often but the problem is just that it adds a lot of time doing these and not too much freetime to do these haha. Wish it was just as easy as capturing PC framerates . Yes SOF is pretty bad port but that makes it intresting these days hah. Did you know that port of RE2 has even way better VMU function compared to other re titles? Not only does it show your health , it also shows different stages of danger for example and also always tells you weapon you are using and how many ammo without ever needing to open inventory like originally in that game. its pretty cool

The Dreamcast has better colors too. Dreamcast also supports vga cable or box at 640x480 resolution.

Games like Soldier of Fortune really shows the Dreamcast's greatest flaw: It's antiquated controller design. Playing first person shooters with the Dreamcast's controller is an exercise in futility. To play them properly on the system you need the KB+Mouse, but if you're gonna go that route you might as well play them on the PC.

Welp, if it means anything, I still have my Dreamcast.

You really need a CRT to compare these two. All we are seeing here is how well his capture device handles interlacing or, more specifically, deinterlacing. There is no flat-screen that can natively display 480i well. If using an emulator... Nvidia graphics cards completely destroy 480i / 60hz by defaulting to 480p / 30hz. AMD cards can handle 480i / 60 but only if manually set-up. I have both systems and tri-sync CRT so I can compare 15khz and 31khz on the same screen. There is definitely a difference but it is nowhere near how it looks here. Real 480i is still updating 60x per second but only displaying half of each frame. The loss of detail vs 480p is very heavily dependent on the quality of the crt.

@KimTe63

4 ай бұрын

cmon bro yea its fine if you want to only compare them on crt you go and do that but this was recorded with retrotink5x with component cables which only makes ps2 look way better than without deinterlacing. Obviously difference is smaller using 480i crt because with those displays Dreamcast is also forced to 480i even tho it can output 480P for almost every single game.. now that being said back then Sony was smart to target 480i when it truly mattered but truth is in terms of image quality Dreamcast is just more capable when not restricted by CRT . When it comes to video output DC was just more forward looking and thats why it looks sharper with modern equipment and no that does not mean it was more powerful.. could games like San Andreas or MGS2 run on DC ? we will never know but possibly not. BTW its not screen doing deinterlacing in this case but retrotink5x itself. Anyways this is not CRT comparison and thats that

If Sega didn't roll over they could have easily competed.

I get US sales weren't there but and a lot of that had to do with the built in DVD player Playstation had. As far as game play capabilities dreamcast was superior graphically. Loved my ps2 and still love a lot of the games today also love my DC just hate Sega rolled over and gave up world wide but kept things going on the home court in Japan. As things progressed I'm sure the DC would have found its love don't think it'd dethrone the king but think it would have still done greatly better than how it ended.

You have some of that the wrong way around. The Dreamcast was pulled from production from within Sega Japan, they absolutely wanted to restructure Sega to software only from 2000 onwards. In the US, the Dreamcast actually sold well and it was it's key market with things like Sega Net and the 2K Sports range of titles helping garner a decent foothold. The Dreamcast only really continued with releases up to 2007 in Japan because it was reasonably easy to port visual novels and shooters to, and even then, Sega Japan stopped production of GD-Rom discs before 3-4 projects being ported to the console could be released. Realistically, they had no choice but to pull it, they were losing money on each unit sold and had very little reserves in the bank to cover that - they basically released it too cheaply, as it was meant to launch for $250 rather than $199.

First person shooter controls were terrible on the dreamcast. Really suffered from not having the second joystick.
