ShreddieMercury Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Found this browsing around, and though I typically stay away from videogame related youtube stuff, this was a fascinating and super insightful look at the Dreamcast. It's inspiring and also very tragic, as these developers lament the failure of what they all saw as a unique and exciting piece of hardware with seemingly limitless potential. This will forever be my favorite era of videogames, and I don't think the creative breadth and depth of the Dreamcast's library will ever be topped. Watching this and being reminded that Rez, Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5, Chu Chu Rocket, Shenmue, Soul Calibur, Jet Set Set Radio, and Seaman all came out on the same console is pretty wild. I still have mine and most of my games (including Seaman and the microphone attachment), but haven't figured out an inexpensive way to get a good picture out of my 4k TV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Will have to watch later. I played more Dreamcast than any other console its vintage or older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'll check that out too at some point. I only ever had Blue Stinger and House of the Dead 2. Shit was worth it for HotD2 though, let me tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bummer that we may never see stuff like that (or rail shooters) again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have all my games, controllers, rumble packs and light guns. I just can’t find my power cable or stereo cables I played the hell of out of HotD2 but I put even more time into Crazy Taxi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Will watch - love these things for when I’m cleaning or working to have in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I will watch later. I wonder if it has any information that hasn’t already been covered by other channels and is pretty common knowledge at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing consists of interviews with Japanese developers, so unless you know Japanese you might not be able to listen mindlessly 32 minutes ago, Spawn_of_Apathy said: I will watch later. I wonder if it has any information that hasn’t already been covered by other channels and is pretty common knowledge at this point. It was all new to me. It's basically a deep dive with a few of the key development leaders for games like Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Rez, and Seaman. It doesn't really go over the generally well known story, it's more just interesting conversations about the Sega's culture and what they were trying to achieve with the DC.

ShreddieMercury Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 This inspired me yesterday to buy a clone GDEMU and an SD card. I've never done any game modding at all, but a friend of mine assured me it was easy. It should come tomorrow. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
