None of the locations look very accurate. Well, that's to say Rome and Russia looked like generic set-pieces you see in games ten years older... I can only vouch personally for Taipei... which looks nothing like how they depicted it. It's like a very crude image of northeast China... from the nineteenth century.

the graphics look hordes, I hope this isn't the final product.

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee7d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

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

ZycoFox18d ago

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.

Profchaos18d ago

Yeah also massive mega drive fan it's my favourite to

Loktai17d ago

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.

RaiderNation17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

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.

1nsomniac17d ago

^ I had Virtua On and loved it.. what made it unplayable?

shinXseijuro17d ago

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)

Agent7512d ago

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.

Relientk7718d ago

I love my Sega Genesis. I have childhood memories playing that console which will never fade.

Agent7512d ago

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.
