Dreamcast, i miss you !!1!
oh well, life goes on.

FragMnTagM5491d ago

Imagine what we would be playing today, had the Dreamcast stuck it out, and actually defeated the PS2. I used to play my Dreamcast online all the time. I couldn't stand the online on the PS2, it was shoddy at best.

Dreamcast took off in japan but in North America it just could not hit it off.

Biggest regret SEGA had with the system was not having a DVD player built in.

ps3d05491d ago

actually its the other way around. It did really good in the states but not so well in japan and the uk

II Necroplasm II5491d ago (Edited 5491d ago )

Sorry about the mix up.
thanks.

Thought it was the other way. Oh well dreamcast will be missed, it was ahead of it's time, lol.

PS2 hype is what killed the Dreamcast

Panthers5491d ago

Necro was right. It did great in Japan and flopped in the US.

They released it almost as a surprise without building a huge amount of hype. Most people had no idea it had come out.

maniacmayhem5490d ago

Actually you're refering to the Saturn.

They released it like a week or something early with little to no media hype.

The Dreamcast was defintiely ahead of its time which is surprising that Sega didn't include any DVD funtionality in it. One of the main reasons PS2 won was because of the DVD playback.

Oh well, just another mistake in the long list of mistakes.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast5d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk4d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast4d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk4d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk4d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
