  • dreamcast was good.

  • @slimmer11 Japan is an NTSC country. Not PAL.

  • Yes! Add in pirates with stacks of copied DC games, and that's pretty much how it happened.

  • I love my dreamcast. I was sad to watch it go down so quick.

  • Dreamcast sucks and that's why its dead. Playstation Forever!

  • @codename7000 U MAD BRO?

  • @codename7000 The Dreamcast didn't succeed because Sega couldn't afford to keep it going. It sold really well.

  • @Christianrockrockz no the dreamcast didnt sell well it was a distant 3rd in the console market mostly because the ps2 had a dvd player and segas past fuck ups that made people not trust them i blame it on that barny stolar guy he pretty much killed sega as a hardware compny sega would probly still be in the console buissnes if it wasnt for him

  • @roosteemon It actually sold very decently in its beginning.

  • @Christianrockrockz yes IN THE BEGINNING then the ps2 was announced and everything went to shit

  • first off his name is Bernie Stolar,second you have no idea what the hell you're talking about....lol

  • @Imtherealsaturnsonic i know exactly what im talking about i do my reaserch on this stuff but everyone has diferent opinions on what brought down sega. there is no need for insult because your opinion differs from mine

  • @roosteemon No you dont actually know what you're talking about,you might wanna do some more research...lol 

  • @Imtherealsaturnsonic ok so youre aparently one of those people who think that everyone has to agree with there opinion or that person is a complete idiot. i know what im talking about and i really dont give a fuck about what you think

  • @codename7000 The Dreamcast doesn't suck!

  • @codename7000 Your Dumb!

  • SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGA­AAAAAAAAAAAA,

    dreamcast is one of the best console ever made =)

  • Dreamcast is better. By a LONG SHOT

  • @winlover37 that explains why it lasted about a year and got destroyed by the competition

  • @jordan3802 The reason why it only lasted a short amount of time was because it didn't have a DVD player. All of the PS2 launch games sucked but people crapped their pants because it could play DVD's. Dreamcast had very good games and had better ports than some shared with the PS2. I like the PS2 nonetheless because I grew up playing it.

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • when u compare dreamcast to ps2 make sure to compare them in 2000-2001.

  • the Dreamcast was not only the most popular console for the year it was released. it was the first game console that had internet at a viable rate, only console to get the whole VMU thing down to a science, and was the most affordable to get games for but it also had a steady stream of games (though the majority was by sega themselves) but it also had more good games than bad games whilst the ps2 had way more bad games than good. the dreamcast's downfall was because of the ease of piracy.

  • to be fair, the ps2 is still selling up to this point, while the dreamcast died before the n64 LMFAO!!

  • @peruforza2 btw the last game released on the dreamcast was in 2011 by redspotgames.

    

  • ch2?

    

  • only good guy on tgwtg

  • Sturmwind looks awesome... *-*

  • There are a lot of new official DC games- RushRush Rally Racing and upcoming Sturmwind (2011) - check out

  • PS2 has a lot of good games, if you see the opposite, you don't know what you are talking about. There is soooo much underrated gems.

  • @4Tommyisk most came out 3 to 4 years after its launch.. this is about its launch year

  • @benzaie there were sick games already one year after it released it didnt take 3 or 4

  • @4Tommyisk I dont agree with you and i'll take it up one notch. The Ps2/GC/xbox era is the worst era in gaming ever. Thankfully this generation of console is a lot better. Ps2 had an abundance of more of the same. Tons of generic shit. There are a handful of truly outstanding games Onimusha 1 & 2, Zone of enders 1 & 2. Thats all thats memorable to me and wasnt just worst versions of ps1 games. GC sucks Wind Waker and thats it. Xbox has handful of games I liked Ninja gaiden being awesome.

  • @Clesarie Uh, the Gamecube had everything. You like Mario, there's a new game. You like Zelda, there's a new game. You like Pokemon or Metroid? TWO new games. Along with new titles like Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion, which are both good. And the addition of the Gabe Boy Player add-on just doubled the game catalouge.

  • @littlekuribohimposte Nintendo spams me with the same Ips over and over and frankly thats not exciting or good to me. Hate mario sunshine hated lugis manson. Metriod Prime 1 was great but 2 sucked. Most of my favorite gamecube games are ports of Dreamcast games and ps1 games. Its a ho hum system with a whole bunch of nothing. It has the worst selection out of the previous gen. Suprisingly the original xbox had some of the best games. Panzer Dragoon Orta, JSRF, Ninja Gaiden, Crimson Sea, Shenmue2

  • This is why the PS2 sucked all of its good games were delayed for years...

    Basicly making you pay $300 some bucks on something that has only 1 use for the next few years...

    And video games are not for childeren dumbass...

  • played it last Night. i had a console gaming party. . played a lot of SC an snk vs capcom

  • Comment removed

  • I gave my dreamcast away for a gamecube and 4 games... sadness..

  • absolutely true... scary it truely is because this is the first time i have seen the accurate history of what happened

  • @allboutk you said all. Just that.

  • The OMG was hilarious

  • I have both Dreamcast and PS2, and I play Dreamcast more. Sorry to disappoint.

  • this video has so much truth it hurts. to add to it most people brought it to show off aswell

  • That wasn't funny.

  • wtf is rong with that dude that got the PS2 is he stupid the Dreamcast had way beter games then the PS2

  • I love you.

  • That's awesome maaaaaaaaaaaaaan

  • fucking gay voice

  • Nintendo rules all!

  • hahahaa true true

  • I lol'd hard at the motorcycle part : D

    BTW the only thing that's superior to the dreamcast is the 360

  • Youtube changed again! Next thing you know every website will change! Well this a new decade!!!

  • PS2 over rules Dreamcast.

    the only thing bad about that...it killed Sega ! :( cries a million Tears

    only if sega would give it 1 more try.

  • i tried to like ps2 but i just cant.

  • Wow it had a frickin DVD player big deal dreamcast had better games.

  • Dreamcast = Classic gaming with loads of games at launch in the West. :D

    Playstation 2 = DVD Player with few games at launch.

    Still... Both consoles were good. But I think the Dreamcast better. :D. Thats only my oppinion though. :P

  • no dip fag

  • lol, great video.

  • Comment removed

  • xbox sucked more than ps2 gaming wise.

    I never understand why sega people love the xbox, it's a downgraded pc and it only has shooters, the 360 is even worse. at least ps2 and 3 had some original videogames.

  • @drunkensailor112

    ever played Dead Rising ?

    or Oddworld Stranger's Wrath for the first XBOX ?

  • @benzaie Oddworld Stranger's Wrath would have been a great game if it wasn't for the fact that it came out at the same time as halo 1 and was completely overshadowed and very underrated.

  • @drunkensailor112 Dude you are so right. If you are going to have a 360, you might as well just wait and get a really good pc since most of the 360 exclusives can be played on the PC at higher res and they usually have more stuff. Whereas the games I have on my Ps3 are only on my PS3

  • @drunkensailor112 I didnt like the first Xbox all that much, but i hace to disagree about the 360.

  • @drunkensailor112 The Xbox and Xbox 360 has a more similar controller than the Dreamcast.

  • @Ohsta6t2 so?? the controller was the worst part in fact about the dreamcast besides that who cares about a console having a similar controller, seems more to me that m$ were unoriginal again and stole the whole design from sega

  • @drunkensailor112 That is why SEGA fans like the Xbox. Because the controller is reminiscent of the Dreamcast.

  • @drunkensailor112 Xbox had a lot more horsepower than the PS2 and Gamecube (which had also more power than the PS2). It's only problem was that it came too late, but other than that the Live support was light years away than what the PS2 offered, since you didn't have to buy and adapter, something that the Dreamcast also came with. Don't get me wrong the PS2 was a great console titlewise. But that doesn't mean the other consoles sucked...

  • @ChevyRoll48 i am subscribing to you my friend cause thats ecxactly what i think

  • If the ps2 didn't play games then it wouldn't be classified as a console no more. Also xbox wouldn't have won automatically because of gamecube.

  • Dreamcast is made for games so PS2 has more game but that doesn't classify it as the best

  • "Dreamcast is made for games so PS2 has more game."I question your logic there because that didn't make any sense to me.

  • game = games . games is eat I meant

  • "Dreamcast is made for games and PS2 has more games but that doesn't classify it as the best." If that's what you're saying then okay but all I'm stating here is that if ps2 didn't make any games it wouldn't be a console but just a dvd player.

  • Long live the Dreamcast !

    ...And it's fighting games ;D !

  • 2001 top dudes from sega america screwed us amercians the japenese and eruopeans thoses top dudes worked with or sold out to xbox the evil corp thay help make xbox were are theses greedy basturd dudes now?

  • dreamcast rules

  • FAIL!

  • REALLLY?? IT WAS CANCELLED TO AMERICA?

    Cant believe it, for the first time, europeans were lucky, hahaha

  • @segadreamer The Dreamcast was eventually cancelled in Europe around 2002.

  • @Ohsta6t2 I was talking about shenmue 2, I didn't know that was cancelled in US

  • @Ohsta6t2 I was talking about shenmue 2, I didn't know that was cancelled in US, in fact, I live in europe, so I lived that fatal day, when suddenly Dreamcast died

  • hapy birday sega 9-9-9

    Dream neve die

  • Hahah that was great!

  • Awsome!

  • i played my dreamcast till the bitter end. jet set radio was alot of fun.. so was sonic adventure, and sonic adventure two.. no one mentioned HEAVY METAL, i see. but when i found out GTA3 was PS exclusive.. i bought one (still played my DC, though)

  • that bald guy is annoying but dc rocks!!! also PS2.

  • Dreamcast Rules. But my favorite console is Atari 2600

  • PS2 only has a few really good games.

  • actuallyit has many great games, but the majority of them came out long after the Dreamcast ended

  • ps2 has loads of amazing games! the DC is no.5 on my list but PS2 is no.2

  • @NeutralFox4 PS2 has a ton of good games. If you like RPGs or SRPGs. (NIS to be specific)

  • i never played a dreamcast before

    i wonder what i missed out on?

  • Shenmue, Capcom vs SNK 2, Ikaruga...?

  • Jet Set Radio, Daytona USA 2001, Soul Caliber, Phantasy Star Online, Sonic Adventure etc...

  • i LOVED shenmue... so disappointed the sequel was never released... guess its never too late.. the 85 person street fight was the SHIT, with each guy looking different.

  • Shenmue II was released on the Xbox.

  • wth... Shenmue 2 was released first on Dreamcast, how did you guys miss it xD

  • Yes, but it was ported over to the Xbox when sega went third party.

  • Comment removed

  • Shenmue 2 ??? then how come I have it for the DC ???

  • im saying that it was cancelled for north america -_- and was NOT releaed in the US

  • and that they ported it to the xbox for the US release

  • @benzaie u live in france my big man

  • @benzaie He is reffering to the US version NTSC.. it only came out in Japan And In Europe as a PAL release

  • @benzaie because it came out in europe and japan, but not in the usa.

  • @benzaie Buy an European version, we played it at 60 hz

  • @benzaie it was released in europe only for SM2 on DC.

  • Exactly my point benzaie xD

    I too have the Original package for my DC right here.

    All i know is that it came out in Europe and Japan, but not in the US.

    Or maybe you meant Shenmue 3? that one was indeed cancelled i think.

  • im sayingt that it was cancelled in the US and that for the US realese it was ported to the xbox

  • @VakomaNOVA the PAL and the Japanese versions were released for the dreamcast.

  • @StrictlySegaAmerica

    Yes that is true, I forgot to mention that it wasn't realesed in the U.S.

  • Comment removed

  • @VakomaNOVA

    Shenmue was released on DC in Europe.

  • @VakomaNOVA It was only cancelled in America. In Japan, there was no Xbox version, and in Europe, both the Xbox and Dreamcast versions made it to the market.

  • @VakomaNOVA me2! clueless dude

  • alot Grandia 2,Soul Calibur,Space Channel 5,Jet Set Radio,Shenmue,Crazy Taxi,Sonic Adventure,Mortal Kombat

  • me either

    i <333 my gamecube

  • @chody10444 Hey me too!!!

  • That's simple, you missed everything :s !

  • PS2 was not only a DVD player, but also a PS1, so it actually had a bigger game library to begin with and in the end the PS2 was the platform with some of the most memorable titles of it's gen, while the Dreamcast had a couple good games, that now get praise, because of the platforms early demise. I now wait to be thumbed down for stating the obvious.

  • sir i gave you a thumbs up!

  • There you have it man, someone just game us both thumbs down. XD Pfft, fanboys, it's so sad the internet community is made out of those.

  • it's not that big a deal looool... the good PS2 game didn't came out until way after the dreamcast died, veru few things justified the purchase of the over expansive PS2 in its early years when the dreamcast proposed some of the most memorable games, not of the gen, but of all time, with Shenmue, Soul Calibur, Phantasy Star Online etc... was being overlooked....

  • not to mention the superior version of DOA2 on the Deamcast or the game had no aliasing, run mostly in 480p 60fps, where the PS2 kept it's low resolution and aliasing feature a lot (FF 12 and Shadow of the Colossus look horrible; years after the DC decline...)

    so PS2 became memorable but not during the Dreamcast years, it was plain crap and over priced at this time... and Dreamcast games were indeed great, they aren't being over hyped in any ways....

  • After the Dreamcast died, the reaction of it's fanbase was to praise everything about it. Yeah, games like Shenmue were good, but they are far away from the masterpieces ppl pretend them to be unless walking around and asking sailors and enjoying the town with suprisingly low interactivity qualifies as that. I am not ignoring that it's artistic aproach to the story and cinematic scope was awesome, but ppl hype it out of nostalgia.

  • shenmue always got some of the best score in reviews the day of its release, it is a masterpiece, and it was ahead of its time, the PS2 had to wait a bit before proposing graphics as good

  • just wondering benzaie, where do you stand on the current console war?

  • 360's a clear winner in term of Offer/Price... I like some games on the other systems though, but the console to have is the 360

  • I agree, not to say that the Wii or the PS3 are poor choices, but the fact that the 360 plays console games and get's a lot of PC games make it a win for me.

    Anyway when are you posting a new review? it's been a while :(

  • Someone took this video too serious and missed out on all the humor. "The TRUE History of the Dreamcast" is a sarcastic title, really.

  • Besides that the DC lacked EA support, because of the losses EA made on the Genesis, they withdrew their support, what followed (especially in the PAL region) were delays, cancellations and even removal of online features. What is a Unreal T good for, if you can't get online?

    Btw, you speaking bad about Shadow of the Colossus proofs poor judgment imho. Games of Team ICO are probably among the most artistic and creative ones in last gen.

  • I say the game was bad ? no I said it looked bad...the framerate is like 15 fps, et textures are ugly and the aliasing makes it look like f*cking first playstation...

    wait...Unreal Tournament came out for the PS2 as well, and didn't had Online Support, same for the version of QUAKE3 on the PS2...so your argument here doesn't stand...

  • Soul Calibur was Indeed a game unlike anything seen before in term of graphics, and it's gameplay made it one of the most played in tournament...but NO I guess you still think this is over hyped :)

  • @trustno1 it was the losses EA made on the saturn

  • Not to mention Sonic Adventure 2, Skies of Arcadia, Guilty Gear X, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2, MSR, Headhunter, Ikaruga, Marvel Vs Capcom 2, RE Code: Veronica, Capcom vs SNK 2... should i keep going on?

  • I agree

  • thumbs up!

  • PS2 was only successful because of it's include DVD Player. Dreamcast is great.

    and Nice Video. "Can you remind me why we're still friends...."

  • (Sorry for making another comment right after the last if it bothers you, dang 500 text limit)

    Nevertheless, incredibly awesome little vid here and surprisingly very true to what really happened! ;3

    And also, DREAMCAST PARTY! ^^

  • If anything, Sony were too good at brainwashing people into buying the PS2.

    Here's the thing, as much as I loved the PS1, I always wanted a Dreamcast since hearing about it and seeing what it can do way back in 1999. But, I never really got myself to really ask and ask again for a Dreamcast back in the day so I missed out and I got the PS2.

    10 years later however, I finally got the Dreamcast, pre-owned. And I'm in total love. As for the PS2, *sigh*...when will it be discontinued? xP

  • I see Dreamcast as a comparable parallel to the Neo Geo AES in terms of the arcade titles you can play at home (or your friend's if you are a leech :P), but unlike the latter you can play BOTH Capcom and SNK fighting games AND ALSO at a fraction of the cost (AND with minimal to no loading times - this we all have to hand it to the dedication of the staff of Sega Japan).

    GD technology ROCKS!!!

  • i own a dreamcast... meh it's ok, i'd rather have a saturn

  • snoop dog plays dreamcast

  • @Sermarfil fo shizzle

  • I actually bought a Dreamcast not too long ago and it does rock.

  • hahahhaah awesome

  • This is awesooooome!

  • My dreamcast broke.

    My only console that ever broke, wtf.

  • Ok, this was histarical! Freakin awesome, man!

  • thanks Dan, but was it Historical or Histerical ? I can't tell due to your typo ;) ahahah

  • I think he meant "hysterical" (funny)!

  • It's benzaie, so it's systematicly means it's funny as hell. Good job, once again.

  • Sooo true! The Dreamcast was awesome!!! With many never seen before features and unrivaled graphics! Unfortunately, it was without taking Sony's merchandising power with their fake tech demo running on PC, game graphics being from FMV, etc... Results: many people waited for the PS2 only to discover a "not so great machine" with jagged graphics. And having to wait 6 months after release to finally get some good games while on the DC you had Shenmue, Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Virtua Tennis...

  • what did you expect from 4 mo of graphic memory compared to the true 16mo of the dreamcast ?

    sonic adventure 1, sonic adventure 2, virtua fighter 3, soulca, dead or alive 2 for me.

  • It was hard to keep up with the consoles since they costed so much and came out so frequently, I got a dreamcast and didn't get a ps1 till 2 years later, it is that good!

  • Dreamcast was so fucking good! I got mine a bit late because I was stupid during that generation of gaming and didn't invest in a lot of the good games of that time. I was actually busy playing catch up with the generation before that because I was born about the year the SNES came out and wanted to invest in some classic titles for the SNES and Genesis. Curse time.

  • I own a dreamcast, and I am buying an OpenPandora Box, and I am American. Benzaie, you rock.

  • Dreamcast was awsome!

    Freaking americans, YOU UNDERRATE IT TOO MUCH!

    poor dreamcast............

  • lol awsome

  • the Dreamcast could've been so awesome :\ I think it was just bad decisions by SEGA, the console was great. you can compare that to the PS3 360, but this time around it's different, the 360 has much more chance to stay alive then the Dreamcast did, for instance, blu-rays are a over-rated, most games even the PS3 games are about 7GB, which fits in a Dual-Layer DVD easily. and the Graphics aren't much different, the DC had better textures but less polygon count.

  • Great job. No other words needed.

  • Je pense que tu devrais poster cette animation sur Newgrounds... ça devrait connaître un sacré succès ! :D

  • PS2 > DC.

    had both but played more ps2. I got them fairly late ~~ like the ps2 with ffx and dont remember when the dc but ya besides the fighting games I played nothing on it :3

    GRANTED: BEST FIGHTING GAMES EV0R! mvsc2, rival schools 2, street fighter 3 third strike, I LOE THEM! but the dc broke, too bad ^,^

  • MAAAAAAAAAANNNN MAAAAAAAANNNNNN AAAAANNNNN

    LOL xD

  • Wow animation is kickass and you perfectly copied a fanboy!!!! XD

  • Indeed that is how it happened.

  • jajajaj true. I loved my dreamcast, Too bad my mom made me sell it in order to buy my ps2 =(

  • You should strangle that bitch

  • Haha, très bon travail : les voix sont hillarantes, l'animation est énergique et l'idée bien trouvée.

  • Keep it up with your videos Benzaie. Do another WTF Moments or another Games You've Never Heard Before video MANNNNNNN!!!!!!

  • lmao

    hyperjerk is awesome XP

  • Dreamcast>Playstation 2.
