The Death of the Dreamcast

People just wasn't ready for online gaming like that back then I feel. I never got the chance to even hook it up but was it even simple to hook up to their service? I remember asking my dad for Dreamcast online and he literally said "what the fukk do I need to play with nikkas online for? Play against the computer " but when Xbox Live got announced he was all over it. It's a shame cause Dreamcast was the most fun I've had with gaming next to me getting on Xbox Live.

I can't co-sign Seaman tho.

It was so damn ahead of its time

I got an Xbox because the controller is so similar to the Sega Dreamcast

#2 console to me

The weight of Sega's past failures finally crushed them though and PS2 (#1) just put the nail in the coffin

The Dreamcast was the future One of the GOAT consoles, so much potential

M$ & EA current president Peter Moore played a part in this downfall

Loved this system to death. It had all the goat fighting games on it. The d-pad gave me hella blisters tho.

One of my goat systems.


Sega was at its peak creatively. They were greenlighting games that were just but

I mean shyt jet set radio, seaman, crazy taxi shenmue, illbleed etc.


They had the survival horror and fighting genre on lock.

Makes me depressed seeing how creatively bankrupt games have become in the AAA market these days when i think about dreamcast/ps2/gamecube/xbox when literally every genre was deep with games and their was always quirky off the wall games trying new shyt.


These days its just stale ass shooters and stale ass open world games.

Don't really have anything to say, I was on team PS2 off grip. But I was jealous since my cousin had a DC while I was still rocking a PS1... when I saw Sonic Adventure for the first time I was like

Shame, the OG Xbox was supposed to be the natural successor to the Dreamcast... had DC compatibility ready to go. The thing that killed that dream was Xbox Live, since MS wanted to do online gaming all on their own system and DC games had to connect to Sega's. Though the DC did live on in the Xbox controller.
