the jump from PS1/Saturn/N64 fighters to these Dreamcast fighters (namely soul calibur and this) in '99 has got to be one of the most incredible jumps in graphics there ever was or will be.

Agreed
The new textures on the chars look great, but I am not a fan of the new colors. DOA2's bright colors was its main appeal IMO

oversaturated graphics used stylistically is the dreamcast's calling card.
When you see that 1998 graphics still holds up today as being really beautiful, this shows how much Dreamcast was ahead of its time. It's a shame that SEGA wasn't able to have much success with it.

It was just such a massive leap forward. I couldn't believe most people waited almost 2 years for a PS2 when DC launched at a great low price with so many perfect looking/playing games. Right out of the gate the DC games were looking exactly like the best arcade games. The sports games especially looked so ridiculously real compared to anything before. PS1/Saturn/N64 sports games are a jagged mess in comparison. VF2 is probably the best looking 3D fighting game of the previous generation in terms of resolution and frame rate and this is such a massive leap forward even on that.

With the texture mod alone, you can see that DC had more to give! 😢

Most systems always have more to give, most devs don't figure everything out about the hardware in a system during its lifetime (a lot is also limited by the SDKs themselves), it's usually the homebrew scene that finds what the hardware is capable of.

this game is nearly xbox 360 quality! good lord Dreamcast rules.
You do know this was a test and tools now we can do more and fix the problems people keep listing .. Freaking test not final or complete lol
Great comparison. Obrigado for loads of great Dreamcast content as usual ♥️
The Dreamcast version is easily the best of these 2.

Nice mod, but they should have made the colors pop up more, just like in the original
Nice textures but maybe the lighting is little weird? I mean it's really visible the lighting changes in realtime.
Muito legal marota, tava doido pra ver as diferenças desse mod. Muito obrigado e parabéns pelo trabalho
Having some sort of side by side FPS Ticker would be dope city central. Amazing nonetheless, shout out to Hitachi & PowerVR, 2 names you would never think to respect so much all these years later. Hitachi fell apart and was reborn as "Renesas" and PowerVR essentially is mainly a mobile GPU provider for phones/tablets, SoC's.

Hitachi didn't fall apart. NEC split their chip division from the main company externalizing it to Renesas that is now property of both NEC and Hitachi. Videologic's PowerVR2 (nowadays Imagination Technologies) go on doing what they did: making mid-range GPUs perfect for mobile computing.

In general I prefer the original one, except some parts of the darker areas that look better on the mod. But the original looks better to me.
This is an odd in-between the PS2 hardcore edition, and the Xbox Ultimate remake. Its quite impressive what was able to be done not just on the textures, but the lighting too.
in some scenes the lighting became better, in some worse
WOW! I would love to have a dreamcast like this with all the games already inside, including Naomi and Atomiswave!
I don't quite like the lighting in cutscenes on the hacked version. In most of them it destroys the backlighting effect supposed to be seen when the camera is placed right in front of a light source. Also the colours may look more realistic but that's not because of better programming. The original artists could perfectly do this but they chose a more saturated palette that makes colours look more vibrant. It happens when people who can program and edit some features show total lack of any kind of artistic knowledge.
This makes me appreciate the original lighting setup and texture colours on the original release even more. Texture detail is improvement worthy in just some outfits, but it wouldn't have been all too visible on the displays of the time.
Nice hack 16:9 and shaders effects, Dreamcast is amazing Arcade machine!
❗ Now that's a proper d-pad for a fighting game. Especially for performing quarter and full circle inputs. For a 2000 game there is a lot attention detail to clothing physics during combat.
This mod is far from being finished, It was just a test playground ,lots of things in this video are either not modified, not final or just proof of concept to test what things can be modified. Also some color tint variations I am seeing in the video are not because of the mod, the Dragon Hills stage specially shows a blue'ish tint in this video and I don't recall changing the lighting in any stage...
The textures in the hack looks really good, but I kind preffer the lighting in the original, the hack just a weird white spotlight in the character.
3:05 when the Instagram filter goes off
Like most hacks, this is what happens when someone who has no artistic talent decides to do this to a game. 95% of the cutscenes have far worse lighting, often with just a single light source, so the characters look flat, especially the faces (2:08). And they've gone for more "realistic" colours but that isn't what DoA2 was about. The vibrant saturated colours looked beautiful and perfectly fit the game and the DC's excellent colour output.

The true DoA2 on DC can't be beaten it's still a gorgeous game and still the best in the series. DoA5 and DoA on 3DS were really good too, but come on, DoA2 is the king.

It's closer to DOA 2 Ultimate, and DOA 3, if you think this look bad, them you probably won't like how the "better" versions on Xbox look too, both made by OG creators.
Dreamcast is amazing console ever
I like both looks the Original was amazing when it came out with bright colours and the retexture is definitely more detailed with more natural looking colours looking closer to dead or alive 2 Ultimate.

@@esppiral nearly all of TVs/monitors can change saturation. If it was important to show or share with people then ReShade with Color Gamut or with Color Tempreture do the same. PC's Color Management with Adobe color profiles comes handy too, but broken anywhere outside Mac Os, and looks as capitalist/monopoly Samsung privilege on Android too
Miss this Sega Intro
Finally, everyone's skin looks like it's made out of rubber, like God and 1996 intended. Nothing looks worse than skin with a healthy outdoor glow. Every game modder knows you should be lit like you're working at the office 24/7.
One month Caju. Watched it again. 1. The textures look quite good on the hack version. Especially the brick layout on the first stage. 2. 6:28 A lot intricate details on Gen-Fu's outfit standout on the hack version. 3. The lighting effects during the Tengu cutscene stands out a little better.
Could you give any info on the disc used, would be very intrerested in getting it?
DOA2 do Dreamcast tem uma coisa interessante, que nas "cutscenes" ele reduz o framerate para 30 fps para poder ter dois pontos de luz e sombra projetados sobre os personagens ao invéz de apenas 1. Quando acaba a cutscene e vai começar a luta muda suavemente para apenas 1 ponto de luz e o fps passa para 60. Na hack dá de ver que, pelo menos por agora, eles desligaram os dois pontos de luz das cutscenes, o que inclusive causa uma pequena falha de luz ao final de cada cutscene. Talvez para compensar o maior processamento de vídeo que as texturas maiores exigem, talvez um bug ou efeito colateral indesejado, não dá de dizer. Dito isso, as texturas dos personagens estão mais detalhados, mas eu acho que ainda gosto mais da versão com as cutscenes com dois pontos de luz e sombra.
Um dos jogos ds década de 90 que até hoje me impressiona com os gráficos.
I have mixed feelings on the lighting changes but when it comes down to the alternative textures and models it's a massive upgrade. It looks like DoA 3 in a way.

I like it. I need it. Out of the many hacked versions out there, where did you get this or which one is this? Some are really weird...
The Xbox textures are great, but Sometimes I prefer the of lighting. Doa2 is the best 3d looking game of the 90's by far, even the early 2000s. Also, a lot of assets look stretched.

Yes
The mod show the untapped and unused potential of the dreamcast particularly in specular lighting,shading and better textures quality in some areas etc. But the implementation of these are not good for thegame though. You can see where the improvements and upgrades are but it doesnt made it look better than the game original look. What Dreamcast need is a game build completely up from scratch using these techniques then we can finally see what Dreamcast games full potential and glory would be like.
@litjellyfish
5 ай бұрын
Yes. Also I do not see any speculation lighting (where?) I only see same lighting but using offset vertex color as well. I think many people are confusing real specular lighting with just normal lighting that uses offset color = it does not just darken the texture but also brighten it
For the love of God, turn off quick select so we can see the models! 😭
i would love to play code veronica with this lighting 😁
I remember the first time the game was unveiled at the Tokyo Games Show, it BLEW PEOPLE'S MIND! I went nuts seeing how amazing this game was at that show and people were more in love with the dreamcast. All was wonderful until Sony went nuts with Metal Gear 2 and other titles.
Perfecto 👌
The hack looks better to me,nicer textures and more modern looking I actually prefer the light source,makes thr characters stand out ad if slightly glowing It looks clean I think its subjective,a preference and i am happy the mod exists
Some are saying that this mod is bad or didn't improve anything but I like the change in color and texture in some costumes, like Kasumi's and Ayana's second outfit looks better to me. Except for Leifang, I prefer her original costume texture and colors
I don't mind the extra textures, but could they at least keep the color tone like what the original had? It's like someone just took the game & suck the color out of it. Some of the models in the hacked version also have missing shadows on there faces.
The music could have been hacked to include the arcade and Xbox version's opening music, right?
*DREAMCAST WINS!*
2:38 Huh, surprised they were allowed to get away with that. Pretty cool 😏
I like the hack. Nicer appearance of shadows and textures are a great touch.
Very nice.
Good game mate, nice upload
Como modificação e melhoria, ficou muito bom! Porém, as cores mudam e os desenhos nas roupas mudam. Quando o char é congelado ou vai dar fade out, ocorre uma mudança radical nas texturas. Grato por todo o trabalho e pelo vídeo ;)
holy shit shes got the crane design on her tunic!
They muted the colors, which was the best thing about this game
I downloaded the hack from Dreamcast Talk but have no idea how to patch it (tried to use Universal Patcher). I´d like to test it on my actual DC with a cdi.

update! I managed to make it work with Universal Patcher and Dreamshell SD tru Serial port. Have some slowdowns due to SD card reading, but its playable, some retextured costumes looks amazing...sadly crashes when trying to play with the naked kasumi costume :( (you have to unlock it completing arcade mode with kasumi several times, each time is a new costume).I´d really like to test it con CDI, but not sure how to convert GDI to CDI, even using GDI Explorer. Anyway, is FANTASTIC we have this on our DCs! If retail DOA 2 LE looks already better than DOA 2 Hard Core in several areas, with this mod it stomps PS2 version on visual level.
The original on the left looks better. Don't mess with DoA2, dammit. 😕
I’ve theorized that a lot of dreamcast games use ps1 dev tools so the dreamcast never really showed it’s true potential.
3:43 This scene is ruined. The sun is in front of her and they decide to make her shirt fully visible from the back. If the sun is in front of you their would be a dark shadow behind you. This hack has no respect for proper shading & lighting.

"Realism"
the textures are great, but the models are really flat with that little light. It's missing that "next-gen" look that made it so remarkable in the 2000s
I see that the texture work looks more like DOA 2 Ultimate on Xbox, style wise. Hope it gets updated to have brighter colors like the original to be the best of both approaches
Can I get like a name or a link or literally anything about this hack? It looks gorgeous but there's no link in the description or even the name of the damn thing, I have no idea how I'd find it.

I don't see whats so great about this texture mod, the wide screen was actually cool, but this texture mod made the faces of Kasumi, Ayane,Lei-Feng and Tina look pale and ghostly, like they're not well, the only good thing about the texture mod ive seen was it significantly brightened up darker scenes, like when Hayabusa attacks Kasumi, or Tina's red and white striped shirt and the tengu boss. Other than than clothing looked dull and washed out.
The original are sharpen and honestly the colors look better.

Fine if you want to change the textures but why in the hell did the hacker change the lighting? it was already fine the way it was and now it looks terrible in most places. This is an easy skip for me until someone learns how to stop messing with things that don't need to be changed.
How do i enable this hack ?
The hack looks almost like the Xbox version.
Although i like th new textures, I prefer the original lighting. It looks closer to XBox but the lighting isn't totally there
É um bom rack, mas ainda prefiro o original, as novas texturas ficaram boas, mas a escolha de deixar o jogo desbotado pra tentar emular um HDR, ou cores "mais naturais" deixou DOA2 feio, morto vivo KKK
Long live the gamecast

As texturas estao melhores porem td parece levemente mais serriilhado e essa luz azulada e opacidade de cores nao ficou melhor q o original, o diferencial dessa versão de dreamcast e justamente as belas cores esse game e pra ser bonito nao realista
orginal best color
the PS2 version was even less beautiful in memory
The mod looks dull regarding the color schemes, the original dreamcast lighting and colors much better.
I like the original better both look good however
The colors took a nosedive in the hacked version. Fitting a circle in a square is not always the best choice.
mod version broke the lighting system 3:43
