yeaaah that looks like an flv that would not really resemble the actual game...

[segasaturncouk]

@Supertomiman I think you mean FMV, and that's implied in both the title and description of the video as well as being stated numerous times in the comments here.

saturn pulled of the graphics in Dead or Alive 1, which was far superior to the PS1 version, saturn is a powerful console

@MetatroN197924 Before commenting further please familiarise yourselves with what a 'teaser' and a 'cut-scene' is.

There's no suggestion anywhere that this is actual Saturn game-play.

Try reading the description, of even just the title of the video!

@Calengela obviously VF4 shows what the Dreamcast can do because the Naomi is identical to the DC.

@fireheartgames This would have been the intro to Virtua Fighter 3 on the Sega Saturn no doubt.

The Dreamcast version was screwed up by Genki who ported it to Dreamcast and basically made it a higher res version. Had SEGA's own studios been responsible for the conversion it would have been far superior.

Dreamcast could and should have been running what Virtua Fighter 4 looks like with HD via VGA.

In fact, Yu Suzuki even said in 2000 that Virtua Fighter 4 was in development on the Dreamcast.

@vghardcore Dreamcast and the Naomi Arcade hardware were exactly the same with the exception of memory, the Naomi board was a Dreamcast with double the memory, but the were very similar, hence why so many Dreamcast games were Arcade perfect productions.

that's one of the great things about SEGA consoles, they were all based off of SEGA's Arcade hardware architecture, making it far better to port Arcade hits to SEGA home consoles.

SEGA Arcade boards are basically non-home SEGA consoles.

I know the Cut Scenes look great here, but I read in a magazine that the actual game graphics would be similar. They had like three screen shots of the actual game play and it didn't look bad at all. Man Sega messed up badly not releasing this for the Saturn. They could have released VF3 for the Saturn and VF3TB for the DreamCast. It would have made them more money if the were smart enough to do so. Myself and many others stayed loyal to the Saturn and panned for this games release.

well it was kinda unrealistic to expect high-end arcade quality out of a console anyway. as is unrealistic expecting high-end pc quality (or even avatar quality) graphics from a console today.

@lightdark28: Dude, believe me, there is.

[lightdark28]

@Imadeyourun

there is nothing like that, its quite simple, there is no magic trick to make a game run or look better other than effort, good coding and better devtools. you can get is an enhancement chip on a cartridge, but thats a different matter entirely.

there are also things like texture streaming, but thats better coding, not software

if you saw it in a magazine, its probably a big load of rubbish , gaming magazines tended to say alot of garbage , still do sometimes.

@lightdark28: " there is no "special software" to magically make a game run or look better".

Actually there is, look it up. In the days of the 32 bits developers came up with different software that could be put on CDs to enhance different aspects of a game. 

[lightdark28]

@Imadeyourun there is no "special software" to magically make a game run or look better, they might have used better devtools than what Sony was offering, that could be true,

DOA is more suited to the Saturn due to the Saturn's VDP2 chip , it can create things like multi layer backgrounds and mode 7 floors for free, the PS1 can't do these without effort.

on the Saturn , the arena was a mode7 floor, while on the PS1 , it was a grid of polygons, which is more demanding.

Tekken 2 didn't, it was a perfect port of the arcade.

the reason is that Sony/Namco had 2 main arcade boards at the time, System 11 and System 12.

System 11 was basically a PS1, Tekken 1 , 2 and Soul Blade ran on that system, so the ports were perfect.

System 12 was a PS1 , but with a faster CPU , and more RAM , and had Tekken 3 , Soul Calibur and Tekken Tag, although Soul Calbur and Tekken Tag were massively upgraded on their DC and PS2 versions
