There's an ignore feature?!

NeoGAF has just gotten infinitely better.

10 years ago next month; we found out the first real details of what would be Sega's last system. this was no rumor, but the first actual public report about what would eventually be known as Dreamcast.




edit: yes I know the "Black Belt" machine was eventually canceled, but though the article mentions Black Belt, what they were actually talking about (which they discovered soon after) was an early version of Dural/Katana, the machine that would indeed become Dreamcast.

The Dreamcast was the system I played my first RE game on.

RIP

can we really say the system is dead if we are still getting new games each year?

If the game only sells 30 copies. Yes.

I never understood that. Didn't the batteries drain while you had the VMU in the controller? I like the idea of the VMU but it was so poorly implemented.

I liked the idea of the VMU as well. I just wish it recharged or something when it was in the controller.

Trigger Heart Exelica is set for Feb. 22nd, this year!

Followed by teh killer app: Karous on March 8th.

The Dreamcast's life in Japan has lasted over 8 year now...!
That may be longer than the Mega Drive...

That's incredibly stupid advice, and you know it. CR2032 batteries, or whatever they were, ran out so quickly in a VMU that there was never any point in switching them unless you really wanted to mess around with a Chao. VMU was a cool idea, and I'll probably switch my batteries some day for old-times sake, but I'll be damned if it isn't a complete waste of money to do so.

I know this post is old, but since this thread is back anyhow...

There was a VERY simple solution to this: keep the battery tab in. Pull it out when you needed to use the VMU on it's own, put it back in when not in use, and there you go. Your battery lasts a long time, and is there when you need it.

How many people hoesntly used the VMU for other than saving?

How many people would have used it for something else if the battery life hadn't been crap?

Me.

VMU rocked.

Dreamcast rocked.

Best system last gen.

Yes, PS2 had MORE better games in the end. So did GC.

But Dreamcast left a much bigger impact on me, where as I was honestly disappointed with PS2, GC, and Xbox, no matter how great PS2 and GC were. Dreamcast just felt fresh and new and I had an amazing time with it.

Sega did online right and it was 56k FFS!

Sega.net > Xbox Live

PSO had a brilliant messaging/buddy system that could have been applied to all online games. Greatest system ever.

 

[ourumov]

Best system by far last gen. At least for people like me who really love arcade-games.

 

[Wulfer]

The Dreamcast is dead? Not according to my PC monitor it isn't!

 

[BradVanDam]

screw you
