It may have come and gone without much fanfare but the Dreamcast is something that should be celebrated. So let’s look at 5 games that show why you should have owned a Dreamcast.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
"The company was unable to focus enough on its main hope"
Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.
Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.
Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.
I am pretty sure there are documentaries (Youtube) around it which highlights these points. I had Sega Mega drive and NES growing up but that's about it. I didn't even know there was a war going on between these companies but I do remember thinking why I can't play Sonic cartridge on Nintendo or Mario on Sega :D
I had the Genesis and the Saturn, also had the SNES and 64, I never got a Dreamcast for some reason, but I never saw one in the stores either.
This week on the Game Deflators Podcast, John is joined by Darren of 32 Bit Library and the Pixels and Polygons podcast, as they discuss the topic of Microsoft seeking redemption in 2024, security measures parents still aren’t taking for digital wallets, and the new most iconic video game character according to a recent BAFTA poll.
Capping off the episode, the guys review the City of Lost Children for the PS1. A unique and relatively unknown title, do the games graphics dystopian world blur the lines between good and bad?
I can't argue with this list, other than I HATED Crazy Taxi. Not that it was a bad game, it wasn't. I was just so TERRIBLE at it, I couldn't stand it. Sometimes you hate a game because it's bad and sometimes you hate it because you suck at it. Good list, though.
not a very good list and top 5 is too limited. atleast a top 10 would be better
Shenmue 1 & 2
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
Power Stone 1 & 2
Skies Of Arcadia
House of the dead 2
Soul Calibur
Marvel Vs Capcom 2
SNK vs Capcom
and many others..
Shenmue was 2? and no grandia series? what the hell? LOL
My list:
Sonic Adventure
Phantasy Star
Virtual On
Grandia 2

Mine would be.
5 - Worms World Party
4 - Sonic Adventure
3 - Sonic Shuffle
2 - Sonic Adventure 2

Capcoms power stone was great, I'd love it if Sega came out with next gen versions of shenmue, afterburner, crazy taxi and a new shinobi game
