@wrestletube1. yeah vf2 was on the megadrive but, it was in 2d. there was not a 3d version of vf on the mega drive. VR was as far as i can remeber the only 3d game to use the dsp chip.

@david2k Yeah, with Soulblade being a pirate. It was on Master System though.
-
@wrestletube1 na, there was only v/racing for the megadrive. maybe your thinking of virtua fighter for the mega drive 32x?

@Lorfarius The DSP chip was capable of 510 polygons a sec where as the super fx chip was only capable of 124 polygons a sec.

I have ps2, mega drive, saturn and 32x versions and out of all of them i play the saturn version more. I run it on a modded saturn with a 60hz switchless mod and it runs beautiful. The version that i dont like is the ps2 , god the sound of the screeching tyres do my head in.

probably, i don't think sega would make a game for a rival console if they still had the Dreamcast

I knew about this game but didn't know it looked this good. I'll check it out! Thanks!

There was a Virtial Fighter for the Megadrive as well as a Soulblade I think.
This was the only game to use the SVP (sega virtua processor) which was supposed to be their answer to Nintendo's Super Fx chip. It was really an off the shelf Samsung DSP rather than a custom chip. Compared to the Super FX chip, it was too expensive and they only used it in one game because of this.

Any idea how the 2 chips comapred? I take it the SVP one was way more powerful.

It's a real shame that the Genesis is has one of very few good console versions of this game. The 32X has the best version on a console to date and the Saturn has the worst! Figure that one out. The PS2 version is the closest on the graphics and sound but is a little of on the gameplay. So I would say Virtua Racing for the Genesis in all of it's horribly dated graphics still stands firm today as one of the best versions of this game.

Yep it's a really good version. Played it several times since posting the video and it's quite addictive.
