The latest episode of Did You Know Gaming looks at Sega's final consoles, the Dreamcast.
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.
That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.
A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
"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.
If you were one of those lucky kids who had access to the Sega Channel in the mid-1990s, you legitimately have bragging rights as one of the coolest kids ever.
This is real. I feel old as dirt but my cousin had this and they had all the games on there. You connected the coaxial (that cable that screws into your modern modem and the wall) to a cartridge and you can pick so many games and it was extremely fast. This was so ahead of its time and we loved it. These kids do not realize how old the internet really is and how old the connections were. Even high speed internet.
We didn't have it bought my uncle did. The same uncle I borrowed everything game wise from as a kid. It was pretty dope.
Good video. I remember it but didn’t ever get to experience it. That’s what i loved about Sega, they were trying to always think outside of the box. The service was way ahead of its time, too bad the marketing for it wasn’t as strong, plus gaming in the 90s was still seen as nerdy so there wasn’t a huge interest in a service like that. To bad because it looked great.
Yeah I remember gaming being a thing for nerds on the 90s but it was seemingly as popular as it is today I was a kid at the time but it was universal every single kid at least the boys seemed to have a system
It was big, but not as big as it is today. A lot of people make a living just talking about games now a days. Plus your right about woman, their wasn’t a lot of them back then.
It's crazy really sega went from the mega modem (tele genisis) failing and a year later was ready to try online connectivity again with the sega channel.
It's both amazing and eye opening to the sega experience at the time I was a mega drive player with the 32x and mega cd (brought when they were at run out) and I think that had sega just kept working within the confines of the available base hardware the user base may have stuck with them through to the Saturn and Dreamcast but I remember feeling a bit burnt out by segas lack of commitment and jumping over to a PlayStation instead of a Saturn I don't think I'm alone there.
Crazy thing is I'm getting that same 32x feeling from my psVR2 actually a really good and fun peice of hardware screaming out for more quality games
I love this show and I love the Dreamcast, it lives on in the hearts of many gamers and developers are still making (some) games for it. If only Sega would join the console making race again.
I actually knew about this one. Honestly I think MS should've bought Sega instead of Rare. They would've had a much better chance in japan with help from sega, and sega had a ton of talent back then. If they got bought up they wouldn't have had to literally halve their workforce in the coming years.
Im surprised they didnt bring up bleemcast. For those that dont know, it lets you play enhanced versions of Gran turismo 2, Tekken 3, and Metal gear solid on the dreamcast. It's actually the best way to play all three games, as it gets rid of all the pixelation present on the ps1. The controller isnt as good for those games as the dualshock, but there's also adapters to let you play DC games with the dualshock.
hope sega make another console
A motion controller for the Dramcast!? uh oh...was this before the supposed youtube of Sony making a motion controller? Because if so this really throws a wrench in the who did what first argument.
Also, Fable was suppose to be a Dreamcast game? Wow, I love these videos...so many Holy Crap moments.
To this day I still consider the Dreamcast as my favorite console of all time, simply because almost every game made for the thing was absolutely amazing. Plus it fits into those sweet spot years of nostalgia.
