"The Dreamcast was the successor to the Sega Saturn and Sega’s fifth and final gaming console. There were some truly fantastic games found on this console and it came with one of the best controllers to this day in my opinion. These factors make it highly collectible. The console and its games go for big bucks presently. Today we want to take a look at our Top 5 Dreamcast Games." -BootHammer
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?
Skies of Arcadia and Grandia II for me
love my RPGs
man this article didn't even come close to that actual top 5 Dreamcast games
5.Skies of Arcadia
4.Shenmue
3.Soul Calibur
2.Sonic Adventure
1.Grandia II
1. Skies of Arcadia (Just like Panzer Dragoon Saga on Saturn, this game was a hidden masterpiece that few had played and one of the the best RPGs of that era)
2. Soul Calibur (One of the few games that have ever been so perfect in terms of graphics, speed, gameplay. Probably the best 3D fighting game of all time.)
3. Sonic Adventure (The last great Sonic game IMO. This is the definite Sonic game from Sega as to what Mario 64 is to Nintendo)
4. Shenmue (The birth to modern QTE control scheme and was the first big budget, blockbuster production game of its time, sad that there might not be a sequel)
5. Virtua Tennis (best Tennis game and one of the most addicting and fun games of all time, it is in a sense the sequel to pong)
Phantasy star online
That game changed my gaming life
And a game called sea man, which was totally nuts.
