Microsoft has done a great job of marketing its graphics API, DirectX 12. The API is available on the PC platform and several games such as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Mirror's Edge, Ashes of the Singularity and many more will be utilizing the new API.
Nintendo has filed a trademark for the word and logo "Nintendo Game Boy" in Brazil, according to a new report.
If Nintendo re-released the Game Boy with a bigger, colour screen, it’d make a killing. Better still, a Game Boy legacy handheld with a 3D dual screen, able to play all games from Game Boy to 3DS, able to link it to a TV. It’ll never happen l know.
Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed is now available on PlayStation 5, coming alongside a sizable Anniversary Update one year after the game's original release for Xbox Series X|S and Steam last year.
Sato and his R&D team were responsible for the creation of Sega’s arcade and home console hardware, including the Master System, Genesis / Mega Drive, Saturn, and Dreamcast.
I still own those systems, and many games that were built for them.
Thank you for an amazing part of my childhood.
Rest in Peace Legend.
He joined SEGA in 1971, wow. The Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast hold the best memories for me, more so the Mega Drive. Thanks for the memories, Hideki-sama.
Sega's swan song, their best and most memorable console, the dreamcast. it will last for generations
Dreamcast was a very good console, with some minor setbacks, no 2nd stick and could've used a bit more disc space. The main thing that let it down was support, the short time it was on the market it did still bring in a bunch of really good titles, if only it had another 2-3 years and more longer story based games as well as the arcade games.
I would say because of the above the Mega Drive / Genesis is probably their best, simply because of the wide range of support and amount of quality games.
there was a point in time where the DC was meant to have a MATROX gpu possibly, as well as other contenders and if it had along with a possible DVD drive and price hike it would be a totally different beast.
Yeah, I loved the Dreamcast, but massive oversight not including a right analog stick. A very strange design decision considering that dual analog was already standardized by Sony during the PS1 generation. Virtual On was literally unplayable on the controller because of it.
I was 8 years old when Dreamcast came out I don’t know for other people but it was the coolest thing to me when I could go play it at my older siblings . I finally bought my own Dreamcast around 2005 , when I was in high school and was old enough to save money . Had a blast with jet set radio , sonic adventures 1&2 , shuffle , code Veronica , Power stone 1&2 , crazy taxi . House of the dead Arcade style shooter. . I even had the reindeer bot CD for burnt games . Oh and I remember lending a friend a copy of SF alpha 3 Dreamcast with the box …. Dude never gave it back to me 🤣
Shenmue blew me away, and took me to a place i had never been before (until years later)
Shenmue was unreal back in the day. It was painful waiting for the sequel and it perfectly carried on from the first game. Shenmue 3 on the PS4 looks like a Dreamcast game and carried on as if it was running on the Dreamcast. A Shenmue trilogy is overdue. Not sure if we’ll ever see Shenmue 4, but SEGA went with Yakuza, a Shenmue clone, which is probably why Shenmue was forgotten. If Shenmue had been ported to the PS2 after the Dreamcast dropped off, things may have been different.
I love my Sega Genesis. I have childhood memories playing that console which will never fade.
It was the best console for sport games by a long shot. Having a UK Mega Drive in 1991, playing US and Japanese games using a Honeybee adaptor was awesome. I think Europe only got around 250 games out of around 800 that got released.
The PS4 might be slightly more powerful but it doesn't really show in real-world results
And Microsoft created the API most developers use DirectX. DirectX12 is most likely more efficient than what Sony has
We know there will be benefits small or big but it will improve Xbox One games
Sweet Niblets. I sense a war coming =( I hope this year we can all show respect & kindness to one another, regardless of the gaming console we prefer to play on.
On a positive note, its 2016. Happy New Year everybody=)
Greatness awaits the PS4 & Xbox One this year.
In my point of view, Bill Gates would have been a lot better in Sony than Microsoft.
People should realize who is trolling here, and to star taking their replies as such.
2016 will be the year where all the secret sauce from both sides etheir becomes a great success or breaks.
Nothing else to do other than speculate and wait.
