Sega could have gone FULL multiplatform support. AKA releasing new games on the dreamcast too despite not selling the dreamcast anymore for as long as they could. It was the least they could do to their customers.
@@PyromancerRift i was really hoping for that as well. I saw early screen shots of Gun Valkyrie and heard Toejam and Earl was getting a sequal. But those ended up being on Xbox. That was disappointing.
2001 was such a bittersweet year with Sega last year mostly supporting Dreamcast Were you on Seganet back then? We actually downloaded patches an game updates thru it I loved that there was a vmu page where we could upload/download save files for our games They really checked our saves before posting too! I had San Fransisco Rush 2049, Sega Marine Fishing, Soulcalibur, Hydro Thunder, House of the Dead 2 saves all on there Better yet all those saves are still intact on the vmus today! I was a whole 19yrs old then angrily saying, they’ll never be another game system with a launch lineup on Dreamcast level! 25yrs later correct an then some hahaha
Sega Net was something of a pipe dream. I always wanted to play PSO and browse the web. But I was still in school, and my grades aren't good enough to allow for a part-time job. Still, it sounds neat that you could upload and download saves. The friend i kept mentioning managed to download custom art and spray paint them in Jet Grind Radio. And you are right. The launch line up has yet to be beat. It seems that there is nothing good to buy on these modern consoles until a year after launch.
Re: there were no games… It really came down to personal preference too. I really enjoyed SoulCalibur, Power Stone, VF 3tb, Virtua Tennis, MvC2, Crazy Taxi, HoTD2, Quake 3 and everything else the Dreamcast had to offer. I realized that SquareSoft and EA were missing on the Dreamcast but I didn’t play RPGs and didn’t really care for sports all that much. I played NFL 2k1 and enjoyed it for online play but didn’t yearn for Madden and other EA games. My nephew had a PlayStation so I played MGS and earlier RE games there. I enjoyed RE:CV on the Dreamcast. Later on I also got a PS2 to enjoy MGS2
@ShahedChowdhuri Sega also needed to bring some franchises back. Ecco and Phantasy Star were cool. But where was Eternal Champions, Streets of Rage, and Shining Force? They needed to supplement their library with games of yesteryear to bring back the fans they lost with the Saturn.
@@Nokout21 it’s been too little too late… We finally got streets of rage collections on newer consoles, and the latest streets of rage 4 too I do appreciate that Capcom will bring Power stone 1&2 to newer consoles and hope to see a new sequel to Power stone someday
all games that chose Dreamcast ended up dying because so little of audience bought it... Yeah, it sucked:( the worst part is sega fucks us over even to this day, with Sonic Forces... etc and I think some of the games like Phantasy Star on dreamcast was really original...
PlayStation 2 games were uninteresting and Sega games weren't the same after they went 3rd party (Original Xbox was the exception). But after the death of the Dreamcast in North America I moved on to the Japanese scene where they were still making games for it, and started importing games like Capcom vs SNK 2, Ikaruga, Red, KOF 01 and so on. I stayed faithful to The Dreamcast even right now I even rid my ps2-4 to rebuild my Dreamcast collection which I'm not going to do because I can't afford it now. Anyway what Im trying to video games ended with me with the Dreamcast and I rather have it over a PS5. My first import was KOF 01 and CVS2 thanks to my Dad.
@dreamcastninja88 i wanted to say this in video, couldn't find a way to word it. But I started to notice the people change. They were not there for the games. They were there for the hype.

@@whiteingale that's the reason why we didn't get a skies of arcadia II. Makes me sad thinking about it.
