Even though I love the Xbox and Playstation consoles, I still wish that Sega was still making consoles, and that the Xbox and Playstation consoles were the least popular. Sorry Microsoft and Sony.
Several months after I got my dreamcast, when I only had 3 games for it, I got a SNES. It came with street fighter 2, star wars, super metroid, and star fox. Yet I played my dreamcast more often than one of the most famous systems, with some of the best games ever. I actually gave my SNES and most of the games just for some dreamcast games. Best decision I ever made.
i find it interesting how the button layout color is pretty much similar with an xbox controller. I know he mentioned that one guy from part one but here me out. starting from the y button, if you shift(not swap) the colors down, right, left and up, you got the xbox button color scheme..
The Dreamcast isn't a total failure. You can still play the games it had,plus I think people still create games for it.Home made in other words. But I don't really know. I haven't played my Dreamcast in years. It's still a fun little system. People just need to give it a little love every once in a while.
PS: my first console was a Mega Drive, or a Genesis and I loved the damned thing even though the SNES was WAY better. God I really miss my Mega Drive... Selling it along with all the games I owned for it in order to buy a Playstation back in 1996 is one of the biggest mistakes of my life! But hey, I was a kid and I was broke...
I think that by just looking at the Dreamcast's controller you can see why Sega kept failing: they couldn't "read" the market! One analog stick when the Dual Shock with its twin analog stick setup had been available for years and hailed as one of the best controlers ever made? Can you imagine what would have happened if the DC was alive during the FPS boom of the 00s? It was the same story with the Saturn: they focused on 2-D graphics when everyone was going gaga for 3D!
After having a good look at the Dreamcast games I've got to say it was a great console at the time but it just came at a bad time and it followed after a disaster which was the Sega saturn.
This is the first time I saw a video about 10 min without skipping or fast forward. This is a very interesting video. I've learned alot, never heard about a Dreamcast before, thoght I knew it all but seems like I didn't :D Thanks for an awesome vid!
One of the big reasons was Sony was reporting almost mythical performance for the Playstation, back then gaming wasn't as big so people weren't really up to speed with what was really possible, so people believed it.Sega had really hurt there image by the time Dreamcast came out. Great system.
Wow. This is a well made video of the history of the Sega Dreamcast. Things even ended on a high note, when the Gaming Historian stated that homebrew games are still being released for the system. Many people are unaware of this fact....This informative video was simply perfect. No bias or hatred towards Sega.
The Dreamcast is my favorite console of all time. There are many, many haters out there, but they can't stop me from playing the games I love. Long live the undead console!
My Dreamcast is still alive until now and I'm still playing quake 3, Hidden & Dangerous & Phantasy star online on my Dreamcast... I love my Dreamcast more than my PS3 and my XBOX360...
@TheToadRacer sorry im replying 2 months later but i felt a need to. im not saying anything bad about sega, nor am i trying to act smart, im just saying that in this era, secrets get out. if they were, which they might be even though they probly arent, there would be about a 70 to 80 percent chance that the information was leaked, or some sega employee had a big mouth. In secrets are never kept and always get out unless your very lucky and it is HIGHLY unlikely sega is not making a new console
@nutsforbionicles well Sega did offend Nintendo by making a commercial saying "Sega does what Nintendon't" so pretty much Sega will try to be #1 again
Well sega hasn't officially finished. I think sega had a plan since they quit making consoles. What they are really doing is observing the way the other game consoles are made now and they are secretly making the best console made in existence right under our noses. For all we know sega had it all planned since the beginning.
well Capcom supported the Dreamcast and look they created several great games. For Example MVC2, SF3 3rd Strike, Tech Romancer, Plasma Sword and Etc were really popular toward Dreamcast sorry about saying it was the NES i confused

@iWATCHITT wrong sir, nintendo talked to Philips and when Philips made an offer they said "screw it, were going to Philips" and gave the middle finger to sony
Hmm, I believe the failure had more to do with a lack of spending power on Sega's end. In The Netherlands most people hardly knew what the Sega Dreamcast was.
I do not believe that the ps2 being marginally more powerful had much to do with it. The Ps2 games in the early days were uglier than the DC titles.
Why wasn't it mentioned that the Sony Playstation 2 never quite delivered on its promises? All the polygon counts where the DC lacked in comparison were just wireframe, whereas the DC polygon counts were shaded and with textures. The ps2 was more powerful then the DC, but it never showed it until like a year after the DC had died, and it took a year and a half for the first true great game to be released on the PS2, what other good game was there before Devil May Cry?
What Sega should have done was halt when the Playstation 2 rumors started circulating, and work harder on improving the DC hardware, it was farther ahead allready, and had it spent more time in production, it may of been a better success.
Quite Unfortunate what happened to Sega, but remember the you should never give up on Dreams, and the same should be said about the Dreamcast. That System will always hold a special place in my heart. I recieved mine in Christmas of 2000, and i will never forget playing Sonic Adventure for the first time....
Power Stone 2 was one of the greatest 4 player fighting games ever. I grew up on that with my friends. I feel sorry for people who only know Smash Bros...
Sega Dreamcast was a good console, great game libraries, but due to fail of sega CD, 32x, and Sega Saturn, 3rd party developers didn't want make game for dreamcast, instead they make game for PS2 and XBOX, that's why dreamcast fail and ultimately, discontinued after 2 years of living.
Oh great, so a console with a DVD drive could demolish one with a CD drive, Yet console with a Blu Ray drive can't do so with a console with a DVD drive? I'm talking about PS3 and Xbox 360 of course.
I don't know why people vilify Sony for the Dreamcast's demise.PS2 is the single greatest console imo,and the Dreamcast's doom was long predicted because of Sega's idiotic internal politics which lead to other failures like the Sega CD,32x and Saturn.Dreamcast's demise was all the more bittersweet because the amazing software released in such a short span.
This system was the last system to truly have been the last true gaming system that suceeded and wasn't a commercial failure ever. Stupid sony, I like sony but still they killed a true gaming company. LONG LIVE THE WHITE BOX OF JOY THEY CALL THE DREAMCAST!
Truely touching end. I wish i knew the sites ect. to buy the independent games my dreamcast would like to play some new games. I have played all my dreamcast games to death... I pretty much own all of the official released ones... :)... Anyone knw where i can get these independent games???
To me Sega maybe not a console maker anymore but it feels like Nintendo has made Sega a part of them, I mean look at the games they have made and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. To me Sega is a backup for Nintendo and Nintendo is a home for Sega in this cause they both help to both win
the system flopped basicly because of the dark backstory sega had with it's previous consoles, to refuse let genesis die on time, releasing stupid stuff like the 32x and the stupid way they acted about the saturn made gamers lost their faith on Sega, so when they finally got it right, it was too late and too few people were still there to believe. Dreamcast's story is a tale about broken promises, even seganet never took off, and sadly the console had the destiny it had, but it was sega's fault
@giantgaminghamster Unfortunately in today's market I really doubt it. Although I would like to see a new Sega Console, you have to ask yourself, would Sega be able to hold a candle to the PS3, the 360, and the Wii? Even now Nintendo is falling behind because of the superior motion technology in which was made for the 360 and PS3. Yes, the very company in which Sega had competed with and currently works alongside with is falling behind to Sony and Microsoft. Who knows how long it will take
@gigawarman12 for Nintendo to finally dropout of the competition and start making Mario games on the PS4 and the Xbox 720 (Ya I know they don't exist yet, but in couple years I'm pretty sure it will)?
Nintendo made their money with the wii and are moving on now. I still see motion control as a gimmick and am hoping that Nintendo thinks the same. It doesn't seem like their new system that will be announced will have a motion controller since having a touch screen on a motion controller would be just too ridiculous. In other words they made their money from motion control and are gonna do something different now while the other companies are trying to mess with an old gimmick.
Of all the Dreamcast reviews I've seen on YouTube, yours was the best. Love the switch from PS2 to Dreamcast and the music being played during it! You rock!!! Dreamcast will forever live on! Now let's go play some Power Stone!
I WANT NEW CONSOLE!!!... In 1990's there was new console like every two years or so... C'mon playstation... C'mon nintendo...C'MON MICROSOFT!!! We want PS4, Xbox 720, and Wii 2 with dual-core processor!...
@pufixas STFU you IDIOT. I'm was sick of companies doing that, making a new console then after 3 years I have to buy a whole NEW console for $300??? No, fuck that.
very sad;;. i kinda cry ;; lmao. Sega did put up a great fight. and about Shenmue 3. i would love to see that or aleast make a movie like that did with Shenmue 1. but that was a good story. love you sega;;
@M3rtyville yeah except Sony weren't betrayed by Nintendo. Nintendo weren't interested of a CD add-on for the SNES. Phillips only won this by making their own console with a Mario and Zelda licence which Sony never even thought of. Sony got pissed and sort of wanted a revenge or were desperate to get into the video game market which was flaring. I would have loved if Sony was working with Nintendo.
@iWATCHITT No. Nintendo promised a deal with Sony. Then Nintendo stabbed Sony in the back and went with Philips. I'm not trying to start a war, and I'm not a fanboy.
@McMuffinClause They went with philips because of an argument on how to distrubte the games.
Nintendo wanted to put a lock so It couldn't be pirated easily, buy sony didn't. After that argument, nintendo split and went with phillps on the deall that Philips could get franchise nintendo characters for ther upcoming system. So They used Zelda and mario.
@iWATCHITT not entirely......they both decided to go seprate ways, sony felt like they could make more money to make consoles than add ons and nintendo thought that the n64 add on would fail
@iWATCHITT no. nintendo betrayed sony by going behind their backs and having philips make the snes-cd addon. then nintendo screwed philips by scrapping the idea altogether. sony kept the plans for the cd system and released it as their own;introducing the sony playstation.
He is giving the review from segas perspective not Sony so of course the sega seams like the hero. You always root for the home team. The ps2 is better and we all know that but you still got to have a soft spot in your heart and cheer for the underdog.
@XxTSUNAMISNIPERxX I think Sega was on the downturn before Sony even came into the picture. Even without the PS1 I think Sega would have eventually dropped out of the console wars.
@XxTSUNAMISNIPERxX ehm no... Nintendo was always on top of Sega, the NES sold much more than the Master System and the SNES sold much much more than the Genesis.. and with the N64 the Saturn was already half buried so Nintendo always pwned Sega... BUT Sony's PS1 was superior to the N64 and the PS2 was much better than the Gamecube so if Sega couldn't even reach Nintendo's popularity... trying to beat Sony's consoles was just a dream they couldn't reach. Sony has proved to be superior over years
@atseninsoCO I would have to agree, although the dreamcast had some amazing games. Only releasing 16 games on it's first day is poor, where as the ps2 had atleast twice that. another thing that pushed sony ahead of the rest was the supply and demand of the older generation who would actually purchase it for them selves. where as alot of adults back then wouldn't look at sega or nintendo's hardware due to the repeatedly childish games. sony shook it up with GTA 3, and therefor it died.
I'm sorry to say I pre-ordered the Playstation 2 and received it on 28th December 2000. The appeal at the time was that I could play my entire back catalogue of PS1 games and with the inclusion of the DVD player, it was a no brainer. I have seen a lot of Dreamcast videos recently and have decided to get myself a little piece of Sega history and invest in a Dreamcast with Shenmue 1 and 2. It's all about the gameplay and experiences you get. I'd have Shenmue over Black Ops all day long
i liked the dreamcast better than the ps2. back when i was in chicago, in 99, my dad bought me a dreamcast for christmas. about a year and a half later, my gramps bought me a ps2. i never really liked the ps2, for i think 3 months i never opened it from the box, i always played my dreamcast. it was only in early in 02 that i started playing my ps2 only because my parents decided to give my dreamcast to my cousin.
the only thing i liked about the ps2 better than dreamcast is its color. black.
If Sega reopened their hardware team, made some adjustments to the Dreamcast, while still making the original games able to play, they could sell millions in just weeks.
I don't get why the PS2 being able to play DVD's was a big deal. If I'm buying a game system, I'm buying it to play games, not watch movies. I've got a DVD player for that.
It's true, I want a PSP so that I could play games like Project DIVA and sonic rivals 1 and 2, but I would rather break my back over a Dreamcast that's 30 dollars used at Game Force, than buy a PSP thats 100+ dollars. I grew up with sega, and even still today I play sonic 1. Always and forever a SEGA fan! <3
i will all ways hate Sony for killing the dreamcast and for making me get a ps3 that is shit just to tell you and dud you are like the coolest guy ive evewr seen thank for making this awsome vid
@mrfreeruner1 sony did not make you buy a ps3, u could have gotten a wii or a 360...dreamcast wasnt getting any support it's not like sony put a gun to sega fans...people realized what was going on with the dreamcast and they went with the best system at the time
The Dreamcast was good. Sadly, Sony came along and buried the Dreamcast. The XBOX also did pretty much the same. The GameCube had only one foot in the grave, thanks to established franchises and a great reputation.
The little console that could, hehe :) I loved the Dreamcast. It was really sad to see it go, but hardcore gamers know today, that it was the standard for gaming quality at the time. Not withstanding the excellence of Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, but the Dreamcast was developed in an era where the quality of gaming was everything. The last console built by gamers, for gamers.

SEGA failed mainly because of bad management.
Otherwise they could still be in the console race.
And 60 million polygons per sec spec that Sony stated for their PS2 is just bogus.
Sony has always over hyped the potential of their systems.
Most computer gamers will know when a console company is BSing their customers because they know the limits in hardware power.
The PS2 was a bit more powerful than the SEGA Dreamcast but no where near the gap that Sony wants you to think.

Dreamcast's story is a tale about broken promises, even seganet never took off, and sadly the console had the destiny it had, but it was sega's fault

@giantgaminghamster Unfortunately in today's market I really doubt it. Although I would like to see a new Sega Console, you have to ask yourself, would Sega be able to hold a candle to the PS3, the 360, and the Wii? Even now Nintendo is falling behind because of the superior motion technology in which was made for the 360 and PS3. Yes, the very company in which Sega had competed with and currently works alongside with is falling behind to Sony and Microsoft. Who knows how long it will take

@gigawarman12 for Nintendo to finally dropout of the competition and start making Mario games on the PS4 and the Xbox 720 (Ya I know they don't exist yet, but in couple years I'm pretty sure it will)?

@gigawarman12
Nintendo made their money with the wii and are moving on now. I still see motion control as a gimmick and am hoping that Nintendo thinks the same. It doesn't seem like their new system that will be announced will have a motion controller since having a touch screen on a motion controller would be just too ridiculous. In other words they made their money from motion control and are gonna do something different now while the other companies are trying to mess with an old gimmick.

@M3rtyville yeah except Sony weren't betrayed by Nintendo. Nintendo weren't interested of a CD add-on for the SNES. Phillips only won this by making their own console with a Mario and Zelda licence which Sony never even thought of. Sony got pissed and sort of wanted a revenge or were desperate to get into the video game market which was flaring. I would have loved if Sony was working with Nintendo.

@iWATCHITT No. Nintendo promised a deal with Sony. Then Nintendo stabbed Sony in the back and went with Philips. I'm not trying to start a war, and I'm not a fanboy.
McMuffinClause 7 months ago
@McMuffinClause They went with philips because of an argument on how to distrubte the games.
Nintendo wanted to put a lock so It couldn't be pirated easily, buy sony didn't. After that argument, nintendo split and went with phillps on the deall that Philips could get franchise nintendo characters for ther upcoming system. So They used Zelda and mario.
I'm not trying to start a war either.

@iWATCHITT no. nintendo betrayed sony by going behind their backs and having philips make the snes-cd addon. then nintendo screwed philips by scrapping the idea altogether. sony kept the plans for the cd system and released it as their own;introducing the sony playstation.

He is giving the review from segas perspective not Sony so of course the sega seams like the hero. You always root for the home team. The ps2 is better and we all know that but you still got to have a soft spot in your heart and cheer for the underdog.

@XxTSUNAMISNIPERxX I think Sega was on the downturn before Sony even came into the picture. Even without the PS1 I think Sega would have eventually dropped out of the console wars.
zerokoolkw 1 year ago
@XxTSUNAMISNIPERxX ehm no... Nintendo was always on top of Sega, the NES sold much more than the Master System and the SNES sold much much more than the Genesis.. and with the N64 the Saturn was already half buried so Nintendo always pwned Sega... BUT Sony's PS1 was superior to the N64 and the PS2 was much better than the Gamecube so if Sega couldn't even reach Nintendo's popularity... trying to beat Sony's consoles was just a dream they couldn't reach. Sony has proved to be superior over years
atseninsoCO 1 year ago
@atseninsoCO I would have to agree, although the dreamcast had some amazing games. Only releasing 16 games on it's first day is poor, where as the ps2 had atleast twice that. another thing that pushed sony ahead of the rest was the supply and demand of the older generation who would actually purchase it for them selves. where as alot of adults back then wouldn't look at sega or nintendo's hardware due to the repeatedly childish games. sony shook it up with GTA 3, and therefor it died.

I'm sorry to say I pre-ordered the Playstation 2 and received it on 28th December 2000. The appeal at the time was that I could play my entire back catalogue of PS1 games and with the inclusion of the DVD player, it was a no brainer. I have seen a lot of Dreamcast videos recently and have decided to get myself a little piece of Sega history and invest in a Dreamcast with Shenmue 1 and 2. It's all about the gameplay and experiences you get. I'd have Shenmue over Black Ops all day long

i liked the dreamcast better than the ps2. back when i was in chicago, in 99, my dad bought me a dreamcast for christmas. about a year and a half later, my gramps bought me a ps2. i never really liked the ps2, for i think 3 months i never opened it from the box, i always played my dreamcast. it was only in early in 02 that i started playing my ps2 only because my parents decided to give my dreamcast to my cousin.
the only thing i liked about the ps2 better than dreamcast is its color. black.

I don't get why the PS2 being able to play DVD's was a big deal. If I'm buying a game system, I'm buying it to play games, not watch movies. I've got a DVD player for that.

The Dreamcast was good. Sadly, Sony came along and buried the Dreamcast. The XBOX also did pretty much the same. The GameCube had only one foot in the grave, thanks to established franchises and a great reputation.

The little console that could, hehe :) I loved the Dreamcast. It was really sad to see it go, but hardcore gamers know today, that it was the standard for gaming quality at the time. Not withstanding the excellence of Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, but the Dreamcast was developed in an era where the quality of gaming was everything. The last console built by gamers, for gamers.
