Games that Could Only Have Been Conceived on Sega Dreamcast

Despite its short run, Sega Dreamcast remains an icon of console gaming. Here are some of the most unique titles from its broad and eclectic library.

It's nice to see the DC is still kicking with new original releases and ports from atomiswave arcade system. It is living up to that soul calibur quote "The legend will never die"

PrimeVinister1744d ago

It makes you think 'What if'.

It's probably Sega's best console yet it was their worst selling (I think)

PrimeVinister1744d ago

And I am old and from Europe so you know I had and loved a Master System as a child.

Vits1744d ago

I would say that the Mega Drive was still the best Sega's console because of it's amazing library that contrary to the DC didn't really lack any genre. But the Dreamcast was a amazing piece of hardware, the jump between the N64/PS1 to the DC was something else and the VMUs are still my favorite acessory.

About sales. It was the worse selling console unless you count things like the x32, Sega CD and the educational consoles. But it was pretty close to the Saturn.

Ill wait forever for super GT scud race to hit consoles!

turd_ferguson741744d ago

Ill wait forever too for super gt! Damn game will be stuck in development Hell forever...

Pretty sure Omikron was conceived on PC (the opening dialogue refers to the Dreamcast as a ‘computer’).

But yes, the Dreamcast is and will always be my favourite console. Shenmue, Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure were the big 3 for me.

chu chu rocket mate, first online game on a console>?

hehe, soul calibur dreamcast best game of all time,

sonic adventure, a classic

rival schools, powerstone, sega rally, i cry even thinking of how it it went away ,

not to mention the controller was wierd, but the most innovative compared to others,

Said it before, and I'll say it again, sometimes we just got it wrong!! This console was/still is amazing. Most just got sucked in by the hype of ps2. Yes the ps2 was the better system, but certainly not a lot better. The Dreamcast deserved to coexist next to it like Xbox, Sony, Nintendo do today. The soul still burns.

It still amazes me that people in Japan were playing games of that visual quality on consoles in 1998. Fair enough, it was right at the end of the year but still.

Loved DC, but stopped reading at "The short-lived console boasted more graphical power than the PlayStation 2 and stood on almost level ground with the GameCube and the Xbox Zero"

Absolute bull shit article right from the rip.

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan15h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher12h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty12h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies126h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS1d 4h ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
