  • The Dreamcast is basically a scaled down NAOMI. The NAOMI is awesome.

  • What would the world be like hadn't the dreamcast been canceled? Well it would sure be a better place than it is now. And we would see half life multiplayer on the dreamcast...

  • G-man sure can kick ass!

  • 0:17 Gordon the ballsack is the weakspot!

  • 0:13 Gman Spasm!

  • The Dreamcast version didn't play the best, however I was glad they "released" it. A better unreleased game is Propeller Arena. It was like Crazy Taxi meets Crimson Skies; it was ultimately canceled because of 9/11, but it was an excellent game and still should've saw the light of day outside of the internet. Definitely glad it was "released," too.

  • Do bad this is just a edited Soul Caliber commercial.

  • coming to a dreamcast near you.... NOT!!!!

  • @RaiCoss I can help you. Where did you get the iso and what did you burn it with?

  • Half life is on Dreamcast? For Real???

  • @ChibbyTonx It was leaked onto the Net to Burn but It never came out sad to say. The Guide Did but is Pretty rare these days.

  • @SpinTheDemon aww, what a shame u.u

  • huh i didnt think this got an actual retail release,magic beans i guess.

  • one of my buddys has the dreamcast version of halflife, its fucking hilarious. He found and printed out the proper cd sleeves and everything

  • @MRbeattie64

    yea then i hate your mate lol. i have never got the half life dc iso to work :(

  • This is outdated...The DC version used the HD Model Pack

  • can't wait :3

  • I just found out that half life was available for a sega system. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

  • Sony put the nail in Sega's coffin but it was EA's lack of support that killed the DC

  • is this version really better than ps2?

  • Dreamcast failed cuz it was the sucessor of an underrated who made sega lose a lot of money and give it a bad rep. so when the Dreamcast came out it didnt had 3rd party's due to the failure of the Saturn.

    Another reason it failed was because sony lied about the ps2 power and people were thinking that the ps2 would be like 1milion times better and didnt get a DC back than.

    Dc was way more balanced only problem was the lack of DVD.

    Games, Design, Acessories, Online, browsing was the best.

  • Hellz yes!!! I love L4D, L4D2, and the Portal games, but I can honestly say the Half-Life games are my favorite series of videogames ever made. And the Half-Life games, in my opinion were the most addictive and best games that Valve has ever made. The part that sucks is that I had to play the original Half-Life on PC, when I used to have a Dreamcast, but had no idea they made HL1 for it... That sucks dudes... But the PC version of HL1 is actually badass. Even for console gamers like me, its cool

  • @SuperVasco117 it was unreleased, which is why you wouldn't of been able to get it anyway ^^

  • @SuperFunnyman001 Oh I had no idea. Well, I guess that fixes the ol' Dreamcast Half-Life problem I was having lol. Thanks for letting me know man, cause now my endless resultless search is now over.

  • @SuperVasco117 you can still download it and burn it to a cd, and play it that way. because its a dreamcast you don't need to mod the console or anything :)

  • @SuperFunnyman001 Oh wow, really? That kicks total ass mang! I should totally do that. Thanks again for that awesomely badass heads up, bro!

  • @SuperVasco117 ^^ s'all good. I was looking for a link earlier, but I couldn't find one, but if I do I'll tell ya ;)

  • @SuperFunnyman001 Well thanks again man, I don't know how to repay you but I'll find a way :)

  • @SuperFunnyman001 Please, tell me too! ^-^

  • Funny how SEGA dropped out of the Hardware race cause of their reputation causing them problems, and now Sony's reputation is in tatters cos of PSN being and Identity theft. could History repeat itself? lets wait and see.

  • @seanMmaguire1 I just hope they don't try to beat Nintendo/Microsoft in console wars again, because Nintendo consoles have almost always been more successful and whenever Microsoft release a console it just kicks Sony in its shiny black playstation ass

  • i lov how they maid it the old crap models indead of the poopie new ones :D

  • There is a version wich is 95% ready :)

    

  • FUCK man... I totally would have bought this.. :'(

  • Lots of things killed the Dreamcast. Remember how it didn't need any mod to play game copies?

  • damn, if sega had support from major 3rd party publishers, the story would be other

  • I have Half-Life on my dreamcast... you can just download the iso from DCiSOZONE (google it) and then just burn it to a disc with Discjuggler, and it works!

  • 0:15

    Thank you god mode.

  • Just download a copy for those that want to play this - it's freely avalible with abit of research.

    Awesome game which I've completed twice on my Dreamcast!

  • Woo, gman is having some fun I see.

  • Sad part is that 11 years later and my cellphone can render better graphics. Let me put that into perspective... It took about 9 years before cell phones could posess the power of the dreamcast after this commercial and the dreamcast was out a year or two before then. I guess it's hard to convey just how advanced the DC was back in the day (yeah the ps2 was the same but still i like to pretend)

  • @ExploringBeyond dude, ps2 and dreamcast are NOT the same. to play bootleg games on a ps2 you need a modchip... which isn't necessary on a dc :D lmao. and dreamcast had vmus... which were possibly the best memory cards ever.... and dc better games than ps2 overall. if only they'd continued porting the GTA series to Dreamcast... then it would've been the ultimate system :D haha

  • @O7DOYLE7O I was referring to the graphics, hence why my entire post was about graphics. Just sayin'

  • Nutshot at 0:17!

  • My God What are you doing?

  • rpg in power up chapter? :\

  • I saw gman...

  • Shh... It's thinking, and if you're not thinking either, Axel will run you over with his cab!

  • its thinking... O_O

  • I GOT THE BETA

  • @wyatt190 WTF HOW

  • i have a copy and its sweet, slightly different from the pc version.

  • Probably this wasn't released because the commercial had Gonarch in it (0:16) and thousands of parents complained.

  • @wilysmachine

    It's unreleased,but somehow there are a few leaked copy exists on the Net.

    You can check it out in youtube.

  • I never knew Half-Life was released for the Dreamcast.

  • @BullFrog360 it was never released

  • nes is cool but the best of the best is n64

  • Lmfao.

    Gman shooting an SMG sideways like a GANGSTAH = BAWS.

  • Wow, got delayed a little, huh?

  • Its still thinking.....

  • xbox 360 is the best 

  • @link13r2 FUCK OFF! EVEN NES OWNS 360 -_-

  • Hey theres the gman squad

  • i think you guys mean Nintendo ruined Sega the dreamcast was supposed to shatter the N64 but it failed sony was doing their own thing with disks unlike Sega and Nintendo who were still using cartarage. still the PS2 is indeed a fine system too bad i never got the chance to play a Sega Dreamcast all my friends had a PS2 or N64. shame

  • Comment removed

  • @Kalkas53 sorry, i'm incorrect Dreamcast is actually the third piece of hardware to use discs- the Sega CD add on (which was a collaboration with Sony) was the first, then Saturn........

  • @sayastra Okay, nvm, you corrected it. ^-^ Goman nasai...

  • @Kalkas53 Sega DID NOT use cartridges in the generation before the Dreamcast, Nintendo did but... GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!

  • this commercial was damn awesome! and if you compare it to the original Half Life advertisement it really shows Valve learned a thing or two

  • ROFLMAO at gman 0:14

  • Sony is the fucking devil. Playstation 2 completely ruined Sega and destroyed any chance of them ever creating a new console. Now they are forced to make games like for X-box. What a fucking shame....

  • @DinoEllis i WOULD agree with this- but actually what "ruined" Sega was Sega themselves, all of there bs in the past (5 hardware releases in 10 years- not including re-models) caught up with them.... it is a shame.... everyone i know who bought a dreamcast swears by it's quality. The PS2 is a fine system as well..... but let's not give it THAT MUCH credit.

  • @sayastra Great response. I think it is a given that Sega was the one who ruined the potential success of the Dreamcast console.

    The Saturn was a failure so they were already shell shocked from that experience and gave up very quickly after the DC appeared to falter. What a shame.

    The PS2 wound up becoming the most successful video game console in history and is selling to this day.

    I guess 4 players in the game was just too much. (Sega, Sony, MS, Nintendo)

  • @retroboz thanks-cheers buddy!

  • the atari 2600 is the most succseful console get ur facts straight

  • @TorpedoBill9 no, the ps2 is, selling nearly 1 million on its first day, get YOUR facts straight.

  • @funkymunky65 listen dumbfuck i no these games more than yuor5 monkey ass fuck will ever no

  • @TorpedoBill9 Like how? What do you mean you know more about these games?

    Dreamcast or the Atari 2600? I was talking about how the PS2 is the best selling console of all time, not a game.

  • @funkymunky65 listen retard, the 260 is the best selling console of all times. get ur facts strate

  • @TorpedoBill9

    The 2600 has sold 30 Million as of 2004.

    The PS2 has sold 145.4 Million as of July 30, 2010.

    Don't Believe Me?

    Go Check Wikipedia

    Please, keep your facts up to date!

    Your making your self look like a retard.

  • @funkymunky65 wikipedia is unreliable dumbfuck u is thwe retard

  • @TorpedoBill9 Well, that may be so, but this time it was correct, still, to be sure, check it with multiple sources. Even the PS1 sold more than the 2600.

    It was the first console to breach the 100 Million Mark, but it still sold less than the ps2. Well, Its funny your 25, but i feel like I'm talking to a Stubborn 2 Year old.

  • @funkymunky65 i ain't no 2 year ole you little punk bitch. it was officialy declared as the bestselling console of all time in 2009 dumbass. get your dick out of your mouth fucker

  • @TorpedoBill9 Officially?, by who? you? Doubt it, PS2 has sold the most consoles of all time, Atari 2600 failed even against the NES. it may have the most games, but I'm not sure, the PS2 has 1800 titles. maybe the best selling in the 70's, but not now, it has been a dead console for quite some time, here, i even have a chart so your dumb monkey brain can comprehend

    Google this "Best selling consoles WiKi"

    Click the first link.

  • @funkymunky65 by official records as stated in the book of world records for videogames in 2009. It outsold the nes and sure as hell outsold the ps2. it did have over 3000 titles

  • @TorpedoBill9 Okay, It had more games (Because they where very simple and were only 4KB in size LOL), BUT IT DID NOT OUTSELL THE PS2.

    Ask anybody and they're going to say "PS2". The PS2 has sold 145.4 Million Consoles WORLDWIDE!!!! Not just in the USA, EVERYWHERE. Japan, Europe, Canada, EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! Until you can provide me with a link of some sort then Don't bother. The Atari 2600 was born in the "Video Game Crash" that's why it sold so little. 30 Million vs 145.4 Million you do the math!!

  • @funkymunky65 atari 2600 was made in 1978

    video game crash come in 1983 dumbass

  • @TorpedoBill9

    There where Two (2) video game crashes, one in 1978, and one in 1983.

    Please do your research before commenting again.

  • @funkymunky65 listen assfucker videogames were just taking off in 1978

    my bros fucking destroys wikipedia dumbshit

  • @TorpedoBill9 Yes, I know this, No need to inform me of when video games where taking off. As for your "bros", relay this to them, "How retarded can your gene pool get?" P.S. After looking over your "Comments" (If you can call them that), I have come to believe you are: 1) Gangsta 2) 2yrs. Old 3) Retarded 4) All of the above And why must you use such Harsh Language? It's already hard enough to have a mature conversation on YouTube. Without the other person just start using harsh language.
  • @funkymunky65 okay, no more swearing. i'm 22 and i meant to write 'bro' not 'bros'

    he is 19 and going to harvard.I'm going to MIT. I'm not gangsta.

  • @TorpedoBill9

    Thank You for not using harsh language.

    Well, good luck with MIT.

    I hope to become a Computer Programmer.

    The first computer language I ever learned was BASIC. (When I was 10)

    Now I've moved on to C++

  • @funkymunky65 your welcome. lets end this meaningless war and subscribe each other

  • @TorpedoBill9

    Okay, I don't like to have meaningless wars.

    I Forgive you in advance for the names you called me.

    And I'm sorry for all the names I called you.

    P.S. What consoles do you own?

    I own a:

    PSP (Blue Madden 09 Edition, With Wololo's HBL 100)

    PS2 Slim (Unmodified)

    Xbox Original (Softmodded, 40GB HDD, UnleashX + XBMC)

  • @funkymunky65 snes nes atari 2600 of course, atari 5200, atari 780, Sega Mastersystem, 2 different Pong consoles, type 3 Sega Genesis, All Gameboy types, just got a N64, wii, every xbox type, ps2, ps1, am going to get ps3 next month, dsi, atari jaguar, and a turbo grafix 16

  • @TorpedoBill9 Oops, sorry. I didn't read your back-and-forth. I give you major props for having great appreciation for the old school with that collection.

    I have an Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Intellivision, Colecovision, RCA Studio II, Astrocade, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, PS3 (Yes! No PS One or PS2!), Xbox 360. I wish I had a Vectrex, Jaguar, and a few others.

    I do still have an Apple //c, C128, and Amiga 500. Yay.

  • @retroboz cool, just gota virtual boy and 2 more pong consoes and a vectrex

    thank god for yardsales and the idiots ho mark these things for 25cents a piece

  • @TorpedoBill9 Yeah. The Vectrex can go for big bucks on ebay. Don't have a virtual boy either, but just picked up a Sega Game Gear in the original box for free along with Columns and a couple other titles.

    My home is looking like a shrine to the 80's.

  • @retroboz do u have a magnavox oddysey?? I'm going to et one in 3 weeks

  • @TorpedoBill9 I don't have the original Magnavox Odyssey but I do have the O2. It is probably one of the easiest consoles to get a complete collection of.

    I have to say my best collection is probably the Intellivision or the Atari 7800.

    I bought a colecovision and atari 5200 flash cartridge. Those things are cool. I need to pick up a cuddle cart 3 (Intellivision) and hopefully get a re-release or ebay sold Atari 7800 flash cart.

  • @TorpedoBill9 I wish that were true. I'm a fan of the true original game consoles of the Atari 2600, Mattel Intellivision, and the Coleco Colecovision. But here is the order of the "most successful game console" in terms of sales: PS2 - 146.9 Million (and still rising) Nintendo DS - 135 Million Gameboy + Gameboy Color - 118 Million Playstation - 102 Million Gameboy Advance - 81 Million Wii - 75 Million The Atari 2600 comes in at 30 million. :( In my heart, it is way higher!
  • @DinoEllis

    So.. You're a PC gamer?

    And holy shit my name is Ellis.

  • @DinoEllis - Hahaha, what you mean to say is Playstation 2 was a more competitive product that because of Playstation 1's successful legacy (as opposed to SEGA's horrible one) more consumers wanted to go for that system instead. Sounds to me like SEGA wasn't ready to step up. Oh well.

  • @DinoEllis - Hahaha, what you mean to say is Playstation 2 was a more competitive product that because of Playstation 1's successful legacy (as opposed to SEGA's horrible one) more consumers wanted to go for that system instead. Sounds to me like SEGA wasn't ready to step up. Oh well.

  • @dogeymon83 But, the fanbase has incresed and want for games has gone up, If SEGA got their act together, they could potentially be the best in hardware sales. They'd have to make a really good system though.

  • @DinoEllis No it was a douche named bernie stoler who ruined the saturn and the dreamcast saying rpgs dont work in america

  • @DinoEllis Ok, no offense, but they destroyed Sega because they had a better system and people liked it more. If Sega had put out better games and a better system than the Playstation 2, it would have been the other way around. They lost... simple as that.

  • @08brutlaga Im sorry to say that Sony didnt have a better system. The ps2 is the only system from the 6th generation to not have anti aliasing for crying out loud, and the Dc had it. That doesnt mean a system is better or not, but a lot of things about teh DC hardware are WAY better than the ps2. And keep in mind Sony has an history of lying to the consumer saying things like "how we have a system that pulls 75 million polygons per second" when in fact it couldnt pull 1/3 of that.

  • @fiaisguy Anti aliasing is about the only thing the DC had over the PS2 if you want to talk about system specs. No, it couldn't manage 75 million polygons per second but it could pull about from 3 million to 16 million per second which is a bit more than the DC at 3 million to 7 million per second (claims vary for each). The DC had 8 MB of video RAM and 2 MB of sound RAM where the PS3 only had 4 MB of video RAM and no sound RAM, however the PS2 had double the system ram at 32 MB instead of 16 MB

  • @fiaisguy Also, the DC had high density CDs for 1 GB storage per disc at 12x. The PS2 had DVD/CD at 24x CD and 4x DVDs up to dual-layer DVDs at 8.5 GBs per disc. This means faster CD games and much larger DVD games than the DC was capable of, I am sorry, but the DC was not technically better than the PS2.

  • @08brutlaga All that to say, yes Sega lost but the hardware on the Dreamcast was not inferior to the Ps2, if you get your facts right you would know that. If you dig a little further you will find out that the Dc graphics chip is one of the most effective ever made, in terms of processing, not speed, and it could do things the Ps2 could only dream of. And games were not the Dc problem as well, i would like to see Shenmue on the Ps2... The main reason the Dc failed was due to Sega´s bad rep.

  • @fiaisguy More specifically: Sega was too broke to compete in a market where you bled money until you got a big enough userbase to offset the high hardware costs and rising gamedev costs.

  • @fiaisguy it was inferior to the PS2 graphically. Dreamcast, 3 million polys. PS2 60 million polys.

  • @redfoxbennaton If you really believe that the Ps2 can pull 60 million polys, you are day dreaming. That was one of the biggest lies Sony ever said about Ps2. If that was the case it would outperform the xbox and the Cube. But it never did. It doesnt even have antialising for crying out loud. Compare multiplatform games from the dreamcast and the Ps2. Can you say they look a lot better on the Sony machine?

  • @fiaisguy Xbox surpassed PS2 with 100 million polys. But, the GC was only 30 million polygons. Yes the PS2 had no anti aliasing. So they looked better at different levels.

  • @redfoxbennaton Dude, those are just numbers, who cares?

    The Gamecube is more powerfull than the Ps2. And again, the Ps2 IS NOT capable of 60 million polys/sec. Those are theoretical numbers, and honestly in reality it doesnt even deliver 1/4 of that number. Just compare the games for crying out loud. The xbox didnt deliver 100 million polys as well, that was ALL marketing, because they knew people fell for that crap.

  • @fiaisguy Unreal tournament ran better on the dreamcast than the ps2, The Dreamcast is powerful

  • @fiaisguy Ps2 was stronger then Dc you can't tell me it can run Shadow of the colossus,God of war 1-2, Ico,Jak and Daxter,Rachet and Clank.Dc has less ram and the Cpu wasn't great.The gpu they used in DC is a naomi arcade chip.Yea it can run some great looking games the thing is devs got used to making games on Ps2 and games looked alot better.

  • @risseer23 Shenmue, HeadHunter, Skies of Arcadia, Soul Calibur, Jet Grind Radio... Should i go on? Compare cross platform games like Sonic and Crazy taxi and you will just how bad the PS2 versions are when compared to the originals. Do you know why Sega didnt convert Shenmue 2 to the PS2? Because it couldnt handle all the complexity of the graphics engine. The Ps2 Gpu doesnt even have Anti aliasing, so i dont know what you mean by better looking games.

  • @risseer23 It makes me laugh when you say the "Cpu wasnt great". An Hitachi SH-4 clocked @ 200 mhz wasnt great for its time? So what the Ps2 has more ram, in what does that make it a better machine? Do you at least know what the ram is for in a console buddy?

    This isnt a fan boy war, its about facts. Both systems were good in their own way, but overall, the DC was the superior machine.

  • @fiaisguy I totally agree with you. I just have to point something out that I thought was funny and ironic. "it could do things the PS2 could only DREAM of." lol. LONG LIVE THE DREAMCAST

  • @winlover37 Lol thanks for your comment, but even though it is a bit ironic, there is some truth to that as well. If you know your DC, you know what im sayin´!

  • @fiaisguy Yeah I know what you're saying :). I have a Dreamcast and I love it more than my PS2. Currently, it's collecting dust (soon I'll play it again). I like both of them but at the moment, the Dreamcast captivates me more. I play Half Life on my dreamcast too :)

  • @DinoEllis, Two words. Crazy Taxi.

  • half of the clips are from pc beta or from multiplayer of pc

  • too bad this game was cancel

  • I am working on Half-Life for dreamcast right now, it's fucking sweet I love that game. Then I'm gonna play Half-Life 2. And hopefully when I beat it Half-Life 3 will be out by then.

  • @Anawnymous then after you beat Half-Life 2 there's Half-life 2: Episode 1

    and Episode 2, all awsome games!!! then you could try gmod, its like a building game! its so fun i payed like $10 for it!

  • @funkymunky65 Yeah I have all of those I just haven't got around to it yet, and the gmod thing sounds fun from what I hear but I have no idea what it is.

  • @Anawnymous gmod is a sandbox type game where you can use props from hl2 to build stuff, you can also download addons, such as the nuke pack. its an awesome game, you can build your own vehicles, forts, etc. its also fun to play online.Better than Counter Strike! try looking up some gmod videos, you'll see what I mean.

  • Never coming to a dreamcast near anywhere. :(

  • God I miss the dreamcast. Had so many great games like jetset radio :)

  • "......It's thinking..." 

  • probably would have controlled like an n64 shooter ..:( theres only 1 stick on a dreamcast

  • holy shit, best commercial EVER

  • This is like the first time I saw G-man looking scared.

  • Actually, the dreamcast was a pretty cool console. But if you want to play Half life, get it on the damn PC and play it how it was meant to be played.

  • Yeah, I remember they pulled all these from the shelves and we're like "nope not happening." lol I did end having a copy of it and I also remember load times taking forever compared to PC.

  • whats the DC console?

  • DreamCast, it says in the title and the description.

  • @pieboyaz Damn Cool console ;)

  • AHAHAHAHAH gman at 0:13

  • "It's thinking." It's plotting its revenge :)

  • I have the DC version of Halflife and its as good as the PS2 version if not better. There is a download for Halflife on the net for the DC version. The only thing they didn't finish was optimizing the use of the memory card......one save takes up almost all of one Memory unit.

  • fuck i hope 2000 arrives soon because i want to play half life right now

  • buy a ps2 so you can play half life

  • Only complaints with the leak are load times and no multiplayer, at least I can play blue shift :D

  • They started HL with sega before sony? :O

  • yea easier to code :P

  • @uzumaki5202 Yeah. The game got cancelled because of the Dreamcast's demise and released it to PS2 instead.

  • this mustve been before the decision on the HD pack since it looks too much like half-life on pc . if i were valve i wouldve teamed with sony to make a ps1 version

  • PS1? But the PS2 was already out (which is why a PS2 version exists)

  • no i mean when the game wouldve first came out.

  • they made a ps2 version

  • DreamCast was a much more powerful system than PS1, and at the time they made this, there was no way to know the DC was going to crash and burn like it did. Anyway, my understanding is they DID implement the HD pack into it, although they may not have done that at the time of this video. I haven't played the DC version (yet), but wikipedia says it contains the HD pack upgrade.

  • yes it does! and its glorious!
