Metal Gear Solid - Dreamcast Vs. PlayStation 2

Happy 100th Video!!!

To clarify as to what my motives were when making this video, no, this isn't intended to pit Dreamcast against PlayStation (1); it's intended to pit Dreamcast against PlayStation 2, but with PlayStation 2's various graphical enhancements turned on. I understand that MGS is a PlayStation (1) game, so there's no need to point this out. This video is intended to show just how well each console can "enhance" a PlayStation (1) game's graphics.

By the way, you can access these settings in the PlayStation Driver section of your PlayStation 2 menu. And you'll probably change them right back shortly.

I might be redoing this video soon, albeit using an actual side-by-side approach (maybe in HD). I'll also be making similar vids for Gran Turismo 2 and Tekken 3.

@comsoft - No, you don't understand correctly. Copies straight from the video's description, which I assume you didn't read:

@TheLican21 - Dreamcast doesn't have Twin Snakes; GameCube does.

The reason the dreamcast has no jaggies is because of bluring,witch is a pretty cheap technique to get rid of jagged lines,most tv's now can actually do the same thing but the game looks horrible afterwards.

@vanos94 - You're confusing anti-aliasing with texture filtering. The reason that there are no jaggies on the edges of polygons is because of anti-aliasing, which is NOT the same as blurring. The texture filtering, on the other hand, is more or less blurring in this case. (Really, what else can you do with such low-res textures without replacing them entirely?)

best game ever

@vanos94  no, the dreamcast did proper anti-aliasing. the anti-aliasing and a higher internal resolution then what the ps2 ran at helped dreamcast games look better then most first generation ps2 games. and games that came out on both systems looked better on dreamcast. this wouldnt have been the case for newer games (ie post 2002) as the ps2 had far superior processing power.

Someone remind me again why Sega doesn't produce consoles anymore?

Oh that's right they got dicked out of the industry by Sony and Microfail. Well that and some rather poor management choices on their end.

I owned every sega console up until they turned belly up. Every one of their consoles was cutting edge and always ahead of the curve.

It's a god damn shame they're not still making hardware, otherwise they'd be spankin Sony and Microshit.
