i was hoping streets of rage 4 wud come out for dreamcast, it maybe would have saved it (for a bit longer) but SOA didnt know about SOR, apparently its comin out for X box, damn Sega for that.

 

[RPGlover12]

shit this was my fav console it was the best and will always be the best

 

[sytaylor]

it was second only to the saturn in my view, sega seemed to die at their peak of producing exellent consoles and games while being criminally overlooked

 

[Jaz]

streets of rage 4

That would've been sweeeet..

 

[mesman00]

sega genesis, they had the best sports games in the histroy of vid games

 

[dave_luther]

true dreamcast or saturn games didnt even scratch the quality of the games on genesis.

I hope that SOR 4 does REALLY this time come out, stupid sega arent involved just Yuzo Koshiro who made the brill music for the games.

what!!! no phantasy star? no Grandia 2, no Skies of Arcadia, no Project Justice: Rival Schools 2, Sonic Adventure 2, Mars Matrix or even Bangai-O

 

[sytaylor]

cmon, the genesis was the playstation of the early 90s it had sonic and some others... but nothing id jump up and down and rave about... the saturn... Virtua Fighter 2, NiGHTS, Sega Rally<-- 3 of the best games of all time imho... the dc, shenmue, jet set radio, nba2k, crazy taxi... some genuinley brilliant games right there

 

[2fast4u]

great. now im just waiting for the day we will bury the ps2 here ... and say nice words about it, how great it had been and stuff. i hope this will take a while.

 

[Royal Fool]

Indeed. Or should we bury the GameBoy Color? ???

I've never owned a Dreamcast myself, but my experience with it has been nothing short from wonderful.

I've never played PSO, but I would really like to. Are the servers still up?

nothing ud jump down and rave about eh?? What about the classics like SOR, Golden Axe , Shinobi, All the Disney games , The Fifas (which were best for 16 bit consoles), super hangon, and not to mention the classiest of em all Italia 90, which was the most fun footy game ever.

yeah according to mate you get three months free phone calls aswell, but wait a bit and get Ver2.

 

[Jaz]

OK, sweet..

I saw Monaco GP Online Edition was released a month or so back, if Dreamarena is still working (and busy), I may have to give it a look..

Oh, and NiGHTS was sweeeet, sytaylor..

 

[dave_luther]

i remember christmas nights where u could play as sonic and the big fatto was robotnik at the end

 

[Josep]

no Shenmue 2?! DAh! are you guys insane?! hehe, fabulous game so far, and Soul Calibur?! jeez, head hunters, bomberman, ooga booga, and quake3 on dc was terrible, as it is on any other console except the pc

The future of gaming ....

I knew that the DC wasn't going to exist for long I also knew that there wasn't going to be a sequel to the DC.

In the nearby future (10-15 years) Nintendo will also vanish due to the fact that they are in financial problems (I ain't kiddin this time) just like SEGA did. I don't see the XBOX lasting that long because it's just a Expanded Gaming PC (In my opinion that is) so I ain't seeing a XBOX 2 or such a thing I think eventually Sony will be the one and only company to keep they're console selling and selling for years (this is due to the fact that they already had a big part of the gaming market when they released the PS which got a lot of games other consoles didn't get which caused Sony to capture a lot of the market. Furthermore when the PS2 launched it seemed it wasn't going to last that long but since the price drop and the release of the NGC and the XBOX the PS2 sales have sky rocketed up (Also due to Devil May Cry , MGS2 and others were released in that period in Japan)

 

[2fast4u]

wow! would u lend me that crystal ball for a while so i can see in the future too (just send it to germany it's not so far from ur location)??

no seriously. i can't see nintendo going down coz of financial problems. they still have those pesky pokemons to keep 'em above water. i imagine they will make most of their money with rippin' off lil kids (or their parents) thru more of this junk. the actual games market is another pair of shoes.
as far sony i guess the future looks bright.

The pokemon fab will vanish because quite frankly it's getting annoying (Pokemon Blue,Red,Green,Yellow,Gold,Silver,Crystal,Diamond,Stadium,Stadium2,Snap,Puzzle League) See what I mean ? ???
