    In this episode, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, Easter eggs and history of the Sega Dreamcast. The Dreamcast is the successor to the Sega Saturn, and saw many of Sega's most celebrated titles, including Sonic Adventure, Shemue, Phantasy Star Online and Jet Set Radio. Various iterations of the Dreamcast have existed by many different companies, including Nvidia, 3DFX and VideoLogic. Prototypes for the console were named White Belt, Black Belt, Dural and Katana. Through our analysis of the console's development, Sega Dreamcast games and their gameplay and beta builds, we hope to show some of the more interesting facts from the making of the Dreamcast and have its history explained.

    The Dreamcast is a prime example of a great thing released at the wrong time. Its a shame Sega finally got it right..but just too late with the Ps2 and XBOX right around the corner. Had the Dreamcast came out in place of the Saturn..that would have really changed the landscape.

    • @Compucles
      @Compucles 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Or better yet given the Saturn decent 3D graphics capabilities. Heck, even the 32X was better suited for displaying 3D graphics!
      Anyway, another year of development resulting in some better specs and DVD playback would've gone a long ways towards saving the Dreamcast.

      compucles: The saturn had a diffrent reason from failing in the west, because in japan it was sega's best selling console.
      The main reason why the saturn failed in the west was though to giving the console a surprise launch. A lot of US shops began to refuse selling any SEGA saturn's all together. Same applied in Europe were SEGA was more dominant than Nintendo.
      Oh and on top of that Bernie stolar refused to localize almost every 2d game. Because he thought ugly 3d polygons are the future and 2d is dead. Even thought the saturn was specifically build for getting 2d arcade perfect ports. Even through this day 2d saturn games look amazing.
      Sonic was also a factor but not the main factor of the saturns poor sales in the west.

    • @Compucles
      @Compucles 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +21st As limited as the 32X was, that's still better than what the Saturn could do (or rather couldn't do)! The Saturn was designed to be a 2D console and didn't have such dedicated 3D hardware either. Its 3D games either looked worse than many 32X games (and the 32X's graphical capabilities weren't used to its full potential during its short lifespan) or had massive performance issues.
      As Jelte Zandberg pointed out, Sega of America then further shot themselves in the foot by refusing to localize many of the great 2D games the Saturn had. Stolar was right about 3D graphics being the future, and the Saturn was essentially doomed on arrival due to this fact, but he still made a massive mistake by ignoring the biggest selling point the Saturn did have.

    • @Compucles
      @Compucles 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Physics and AI are completely different from the graphics themselves. You're correct that the 32X would be even worse than the Saturn at running those games, and there's no denying that the Saturn was overall a much more powerful console, but its ability to display 3D graphics still completely sucked. For games where the 32X can handle all the other technical details, that once advantage it has for 3D graphics is a huge one. I doubt the Saturn would be able to run stuff like "Virtua Racing Deluxe" or "Star Wars Arcade" without compromising on the quality of the graphics.

    If you pay close enough attention, you’ll notice that almost every problem Sega had was caused by Sega of Japan. They chose a weaker chipset for the Dreamcast, & decided not to put a dvd drive on it, for that weird karaoke format that caused piracy& failed. I even heard a story about how an American 1st party Sega dev asked to use the nights engine to make a new sonic game for the Saturn, but yuji naka threatened to leave Sega if they allowed his engine to be used. Sega of America had the Sega cd & 32x forced down there throats.

    • @MEDZFactor
      @MEDZFactor 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Thing is, it wasn’t even the actual NiGHTS engine but something very much like it. Yuji Naka hated that, and whined to Hayao Nakayama who ultimately shut down the project simply to keep Naka from leaving the company. (Which he threatened to do so).

      I don’t think it’s as simple as that. The 32X was Sega of America’s idea, having shot down using its specs for a separate Sega Neptune console that would have launched around the same time as the Saturn- the add on was the worse idea. The Saturn was actually the company’s best-selling console in Japan despite underperforming in America, so Sega of Japan were making decisions for the Japanese market. 3Dfx made a big mistake in going public, and confident it would sell better in Japan, Sega of Japan chose the Hitachi chip set. The Japanese and American gaming markets were very different then and now.

    The saddest part of the dreamcast is you could tell Sega was REALLY trying with it, do a lot of things that were ahead of its time. Sadly their ambition, and questionable decisions of executives that acted on emotion rather than reason, both contributed to the dreamcasts failure. It went too far with the technology that they didn't know how to properly use it, thus exploited by pirates, the pettiness of executives caused them to make new rivals that would eventually move past them, and the final nail in the coffin was that it was just time for them to pass. Sony and Microsoft came into the console market, prepared and ready to change it and Sega just couldn't keep up, especially since their Japanese and American branches often, even to this day, are out of sync.
    Hopefully Sega learns why the dreamcast failed one day, and moving forward, makes smarter decision. I don't need them back in the console market, but hopefully that old Sega ingenuity is still somewhere deep in the company and will come out to change the industry again.

      Actually, more often than not, companies don’t aim for their profits to be on actually selling the console, but the software that will come with time. From a business standpoint, consoles aren’t meant to be consumable goods that you buy and use up, they are meant to be steady sources of revenue with time.
      The Ps2 is highest selling console, but its success is more that it had a huge library of games that allowed it be a viable console for years, even quite a while after the ps3 came out.
      The Dreamcast is no Virtual Boy, but it would be hard to deem it a success by video game standards.

    And yet, despite everything, SEGA's legendary mismanagement carries on to this day in many ways, with franchises that could have made them a 3rd party giant being dropped for no apparent reason. From Crazy Taxi (which only saw a brief life on Xbox and Windows and an ok-ish port on PSP) to Streets of Rage to the Shining Force series, all dropped. At least they work rather well as a publisher, since Creative Assembly, Relic Entertainment and Atlus keep making good games.

    It sounds like Sega could have won the console war with Nintendo if it hadn’t been for their shitty decision making.

    I loved Sega's series of consoles and games, but I think what killed them was that they moved to release new consoles way too quickly and just killed their customer base and new interest...All in all, they had a good run in the industry, I still play quite a few of the old games through other legitimate means since my consoles grew legs as it were.

    And thus I began my journey into the Sonic series xD Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 I remember fondly playing them on the dreamcast and watching the hilarious scenes where Sonic & friends made the infamous meme worthy faces :P

    Loved the ending music track, which is from Phantasy Star Online.

    What’s the ending song from 10:36 - 10:59 ?

      I'm not sure if this is too late, but the song is called "Prenotion"; it's from Phantasy Star Online. :)
      That game had an amazing electronic, ambient soundtrack. I hope you discover many songs you enjoy through this.

    Services like Honey collect your information and shopping history. It's just like all the Facebook shit people are upset about.

    R.i.p Dreamcast. You made me a happy child on Xmas of 99 and brought joy to a lot of people around the world. Now I want to hook mines up and play Power Stone 2.
