@@BobbyHo2022 that’s what actually killed ps2 true library anyway the ps2 is under appreciated sometimes it’s absurd when I hear stuff like Dreamcast is the best fighting game system maybe it can be subjectively but not objectively. PlayStation 2 had more fighting games now I agree in terms of capcom fighting games Dreamcast offered more but even ps2 had some of those Dreamcast fighters that were a bit better on ps2 like street fighter 3 and capcom vs snk 2 but just a little and I admit marvel vs capcom 2 was better than ps2 and Xbox port because the sound quality was much better and the game looked a bit more smooth. But ye that’s just capcom people forget PlayStation 2 had king of fighters in its prime, mortal kombat games, the tekken series, soul calibur 2 and 3, bloody roar 3 and 4, virtual fighter 4, guilty gear x2 and accent core, neo geo battle collesuim, samurai showdown 5 and 6 dragon ball z fighting games where in there prime. Sengoku basara x, Street fighter ex3 and capcom fighting evolution were all that was unique in terms of capcom fighters on ps2 which fighting evolution was decent but nothing special and I never played ex3 or basara x but here good things. dreamcast had plasma blade, rival schools, power stone, a better mvc2 port, sf3 double impact version, capcom vs snk 1, jo jo bizare adventure, marvel vs capcom 1 And even then there are ps1 ports of some of these that yes are inferior but still decent ports and work on ps2 but yes In terms of ps2 library alone compared to capcom fighting games library on Dreamcast yes Dreamcast has more capcom fighters. But fighting games aren’t just capcom and in the end of the day PlayStation 2 has more. But honestly if I don’t agree with this it’s still a reasonable claim. Ive heard worse from Dreamcast fanboys like ps2 only has gta, or ps2 has nothing unique I even showed one Dreamcast fanboy some games and they admitted they never heard of some of these ps2 games and thought it was interesting. Why does this happen well because your right it was mainstream because of the dvd and other things like ps1 success but because a huge amount of people got it for dvd and gta that’s how a lot of games got overshadowed like even shadow of the colossus ps2 port sold less than shrek 2 ya even some of the popular ps2 games today failed misreably on the ps2 then you got gta which isn’t even a exclusive having the most sales. If we look at the most sold games in that generation Xbox: halo 2 Dreamcast: sonic adventure GameCube: super smash bros And PS2: gta sanaddres Ye all the other consoles highest selling games were exclusive while PS2 was a multiplat that was on PC and Xbox also. Nowadays there are people finding out about ps2 underatted titles so some people are noticing it’s library but ye it’s kinda crazy. So ye your right it was mainstream most people didn’t play it for the exclusives even tho it had the most exclusives. But honestly Dreamcast is my 2nd favourite of the generation and it can be annoying some of the ignorant Dreamcast fans I met but in the end of the day it’s still a great console and I see the appeal and why people call it there favourite

Nice list. I'm glad you left the Crazy Taxi games off unlike so many other DC racer lists on KZread. These games are definitely more driving than racing. I love Revolt tho. The track creator is insane. My friends and I would make tracks that were actually broken, but by hitting wild jumps in the right spot, you could land onto seemingly unreachable sections. It was Trackmania before Trackmania. Good times.

Nice list. f355 was so great. It had an online mode when you race alone and then you will watched the race with the others online players (6 or 8 don't remember). It was a little desappointed to not run live but it was also great because you knew you had to do your best without being bored by others players, and after you've seen the race with players and you did well but not finish first you tried new settings.

What videos like this highlight is how many awesome games were released for the Dreamcast. Being able to have a "top 15" of any genre and still not able to fit all the good games, for a console that only had a shelf life for around 2 years is simply astounding. I love this machine to death, to this day I still consider it being the best video game console in history. Such a massive jaw-dropping leap in graphics, incredible games library... I remember buying it at the time wanting to persuade my friends to get a Dreamcast as well, but they just waited for the "next Playstation" (I don't know how Sony did it, but during one generation they generated an incredible amount of brand loyalty)... When the PS2 released, the games had terrible ghosting to cover the insane amount of interlaced flickering. It looked like crap compared to the Dreamcast. Luckily the PS2 hardware eventually proved itself, but really, so would the Dreamcast if it just had more years on the market, and better sales. I mean, today people have been able to fit 64MB worth of textures in the Dreamcast memory due to its built-in compression technique. They have enabled modern effects like "normal maps" (bump mapping), specular highlights etc...

Trickstyle is extremely underrated and I would consider it to be the best racer on the Dreamcast.

I love the game for the same reason I love Mario Kart Wii - chaotic and tough, but extremely satisfying once you master it. Like Mario Kart Wii, Trickstyle even lets you discover and pull off crazy ultra-shortcuts, some of which the developer never even intended.

@@thegamelounge659 Watching speedruns of the game also helped me get good at the game and also gave me motivation to learn the game's mechanics. Even after 100%'ing the game I still come back to it JUST to practice my skills and attempt to do some "speedrunning" myself. A lot of people criticize the game because it's "too hard" but really, it's more of a skill issue on them. This game is frustrating at first, but this isn't a game for casuals, but rather people who are willing to take the time to really learn the game's mechanics and to experience the satisfaction of mastering their skills. Pro tips: You should complete the guide dude's tutorials first, that way you will have all the tricks unlocked and you will learn everything you need to know. The tutorials can be done at any time, but I suggest completing them ASAP as they are the only way to unlock new tricks, and you will need these tricks for stunt events. To ride the green luge trails, hold up on the analog stick while pressing B near them and you will be flying. If you want to fall from great heights without bailing when you land, let go of the throttle and hold it again right before you land.

As someone who has been playing racing games since the black n white overhead Atari racing game in the arcade and who loved the Spectrum this list is.... fantastic!

On the one hand yes it's an arcade racer but only in the very literal sense of being a game released in the arcade. Otherwise it's an out and out sim racer.

@@thegamelounge659 Yeah it would be pretty cool. I'm talking about these games, because it's a really serious and well-made first Indycar for the time, although we have the INDY 500 made for arcades, games like F-1 that I make is, let's say, along with Super Monaco GP and Virtua Racing the foreshadowing of that we have in games (F1 simulators) these days. But I need to say that games on your list I didn't even know. Too much! Congratulations!

Yeah great game, although SEGA GT 2002 on Xbox is the better game

I remember playing that game at my friend's house and couple years later i bought the Xbox and i thought the Dreamcast game was called project Gotham racing lol....

I can't get my flycast to run Le Mans 24h at 60fps, running locked at 30 during races aparently. I've tried a bunch of configs but I have no idea how to fixe that. And for a while I've had a bug where the sound crashes and just keeps repeating the same 1sec of sound while the game keeps going. Back then I played Sega GT but ported for the PC trying to scratch the GT2 itch at the time I remember I enjoyed the game and the graphics looked pretty decent or even better than GT2 but driving experience, carrer and general gameplay I favored GT2 more.

Sadly I made an error in this video. Le Mans in fact runs at 30fps. I totally agree with you on Sega GT, it certainly looked better than GT2 but you would expect that given the hardware but I think GT2 was the superior game. That being said it did fill a void for DC owners. Sega GT 2002 on Xbox on the other hand was first class

I wish they had of released scud racer on dreamcast years ago And also a perfect arcade port of daytona usa,the version we got of daytona was ok but graphically it looked nothing like the original,it was all cartoony looking

Agree with you on both points. Scud Race was actually running on the Dreamcast and shown behind closed doors at E3 when SEGA was revealing the DC. Daytona I agree, the controls have always just been off when using the DC pad to me.

@thegamelounge659 this game above others, I think. There's something about the film-like framerate to it as well. There's something about it. It kinda reminds me of Halo 1 on the original Xbox. There's a flow to this game that is very well dialed-in.

MSR is way too hard for my taste. I don't like it at all. I'm Flag 2 Flag was a really good racing game, by the way I'll definitely have to try out a couple of these racing games on the Redream emulator. Thanks for the list!

I’ll look into it. Real life is in the way of these right now but I have a video coming very shortly

The one i truly love on Dreamcast Racing games was it controller, the analog and trigger button really so precisely, grest for handling. My favorites was : - Tokyo extreme rscer - ferrari f355 - Daytona - sega rally - lemans 24h For SEGA GT, i think it fall behind Gran Turismo, even GT2 PS1 still better on gameplay.

F355 was too pedantic for me. And MSR was unfortunately much too hard and painful because it was too demanding on memory. Otherwise I realize that I should really buy a Dreamcast, not only because I have 2 sport games at home that I love but also because there are car games that actually look great. For Sega Rally, I think it's because this game was in every arcade games public room that I like it. Because to be more objective, it's very difficult and the cars behave like soap. Very strange gameplay.

@thegamelounge659

Ай бұрын

F355 certainly isn’t for everyone but I like the fact the learning curve to drive without aid was almost the game 😂 MSR I love though. One of my favourite games. Although I think I played the entire game in an Audi TT. Graduating to the faster cars increased the difficulty!

@@thegamelounge659 Lol, I barely played to MSR because it was asking so much saving space that I got bored by it.🤭 Anyway, my experience with the Dreamcast was mostly impregnated by Virtua Tennis and NBA 2K. Those games were so addictive to me. So I did not really care about the rest anyway. Yet, I was into car video games. But Gran Turismo conquered my heart at that time and took the all space because GT was such an experience at that time. As long as you don't get the Escudo man, you just follow the GT path day and night😅
