The xbox 360 compared to the dreamcast O.0

[brianv]

If you read this article at 1up comparing the dreamcast and 360...You'd know. ( http://xbox360.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3145154&did=1 )

Yeah, I read that a while ago. It's pretty interesting, but it's pretty obvious how similar the xbox(360) controller looks to the Dreamcast one.

It would be a riot if the xbox360 encryption got broken and most gamers used hacked isos for the 360 all the time, instead of buying the games. (This was one of the reasons for the downfall of the DreamCast.)

Dreamcast was en route to be dead before they found out how to play cd images.

 

[GB250]

True, there were a lot of stakes in the coffin. But every game that ended up burned on a cd meant 4-5 dollars that Sega diddn't end up getting. It's hard to make a console profitable when it doesn't sell games, and piracy only made it worse.

Heh, I like #10 in reasons why the Xbox 360 will succeed where the Dreamcast failed.

You know, Sonic Heroes would've brought the Dreamcast back on track cause the game has Good Graphics & popularity.

Unless my memory's buggered, wasn't the Dreamcast long dead by the time Sonic Heroes came out?

 

[Sik]

Yeah. And Sonic Heroes requires that capacity that it would kill the DreamCast. I don't know if in the framerate or in the memory, but Sonic Heroes will kill the console.

Appearently, The Dreamcast still lives in Japan.

How? More games are being released there still.

 

[abhi]

Really? Can you give me some more info? Do you have any links? Btw I heard rumors that Sega is planning to release Dreamcast 2.

nope

 

[Rob]

Hoax.

That's been around for years.

 

[Sik]

Well, you say that the DreamCast is still alive in Japan and get surprised, then I can't imagine your faces (except Akira) if I say that the Sega Genesis is still the best seller here.

Heroes doesn't have good graphics, and it certainly isn't popular with the Sonic fandom.

I liked sonic heroes..Kind of... THe graphics are a little better than SA2(the shiny characters and other stuff).

 

[Shadow Hog]

The shiny characters are AWFUL. Whoever thought that a furry character, like Tails, would look better if they were heavily waxed and made of plastic is an idiot.

 

[Ritz]

I second this.

 

[Shuffle]

Third'd.

 

[Bigboi]

Forthed.

I once found a patch in a random website months ago that took off the shinyness on the PC version. You could try googleing if you have the PC version. I dont have any version of it at all.
