New 3D Dreamcast Engine Coming Soon

Carl Williams writes, "The Sega Dreamcast, Sega’s last console, has certainly been one that fans simply won’t let die. We have seen many homebrew and indie releases for the Sega Dreamcast. We have seen source engine ports over the years thanks to companies like id Software releasing the source code to key software. One such key piece of software was Quake 3 which is what Dreamcast Engine is based upon."

They already are. Indie studios are the only developers that constantly strive to publish innovative and experimental experiences. There has been little to no art in AAA gaming, with just a few exceptions.

Yi-Long2d ago

Indie-studios have been showcasing their creative superiority and bravery over AAA-studios/releases for a while now.

Personally. I have zero interest in AI slop in any of my entertainment, so regardless of what Sony, Ubisoft, MS, EA, etc believe the future is, I'm just not gonna touch any of that stuff.

Everything you said but for me MS is always the problem.

One more thing in a long list of things that already give indie Games an advantage

In reality a dev having a simplistic tech statck does not really impact the end user experience. If the game is good and worth playing is what matters. In other words some cooks make care if 2 or 3 eggs were used to make a cake but the person eating it doesn't. And in the case of DLSS 5 the chef is soley responsible for the recipe and how its mixed together.

not sure what to think of it. psn was genuinely a great name for what it did, but oh well.

QuantumMechanic5d ago

Diamonds aren't forever, either...

isarai_lee6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Dear Lord this article is written by AI, It talks circles over and over

Anywho, i wonder what they'll refer to it as , PSN just has a nice ring to it, kinda silly to erase it just cause 🤷‍♂️

lodossrage6d ago

I'm not too fond of this change. Changing established brand names in most industries doesn't always turn out well. But we'll see

PlayStation is trying to beat last gens Xbox missteps with all these garbage announcements… I see no other reason.
Phasing out a 20 year old iconic name like this makes absolutely no sense

S2Killinit5d ago

I never thought it was a particularly good name.
