>Implying that naming 10 Dreamcast games is hard

>>12002651
Name five in that image

>>12002651
Real challenge is naming five that aren’t ported from arcade or 5th gen consoles.

1. Shenmue
2. Shenmue II
3. Phantasy Star Online
4. Space Channel 5
5. Sonic Adventure
6. Sonic Adventure 2
7. Jet Grind Radio
8. Skies of Arcadia
9. Code Veronica

Thats the best I can do, besides the ones already mentioned in this thread (and other recent threads), which I never would have remembered.

I didn't have SA2 on Dreamcast, I had the Gamecube version but you're correct lol.
>DOA2 over VF3tb
Never cared for Virtua Fighter.
>Grandia 2 over PSO
Never played PSO.
>No Jet Grind Radio
Never played it.
>No weird bullshit like Maken X
I guess I could have added Seaman, that was a weird one I owned.
>#1 a fishing game
It's fun as fuck, try it, you can even use the dreamcast controller if you don't have the rod.

>>12003410
>>12003497
People really have to try the Sega fishing games. They think 'wtf it's fishing' and never find out how kino they are, despite fishing mini-games being almost always universally loved.

>>12005210
>All that and no I-Spy

>>12005221
I didnt play that. The only from the list i didnt play but watched stuff was Seaman, but that one has to be mention everytime for how odd and unique it was

>>12005229
Can someone play it so I am not alone here? Pretty unique game so it is good for people looking for something different, although I wonder how people will like it.

>>12002521 (OP)
Do any of the Dreamcast's first person shooters have lock-on targeting, a la Coded Arms on PSP? It's the only way that game is remotely playable with that system's control layout. I tried the Dreamcast port of Quake 3 Arena thinking it'd be adapted for its controller, but it wasn't.
The reason I'm interested is because I want to throw some controller-friendly FPSs on my couch gaming box, and I know the Dreamcast has ports of a few different late 90s FPSs on it. If I have to use keyboard+mouse to play them optimally, then that defeats the purpose for me.

>>12005234
I will keep an eye on it.
DC has a lot of stuff, even those cartoon racing games, i remember Wacky Racers being okay.
I do need to play Neo,Evil Twin and especially Napple Tale that heard good things about it


Fuck, i forgot to mention Samba de Amigo and Sega Bass Fishing. fucking accessories man

Psychic Force 2012
Bangai-O

>>12005394
Thanks.
Which Neo are you referring to? There are at least 3 games with that in their name.
Never played Evil Twin, let us know if it is good. Napple Tale is good if you are into that kinda thing (and pacing).
Samba is fun for what it is. Bass fishing is uber kino beyond belief.

>>12005960
Super Magnetic Neo. A Crash clone with magnetism gameplay mechanics

I'll give an honorable mention to Test Drive 6, shit game but 10/10 soundtrack.

>>12005998
Ah okay, I never beat it but think you will enjoy it if you already know you like that kind of game.

>Rez
>Space Channel 5
>Power Stone 2
>Propellor Arena
>Cosmic Smash

The last few are probably not very good games, but they hit the right cords with me.

>>12003410
>>SA over SA2
SA2 is linear trash.

>>12006316
Thank you.
SA2 is garbage. It's always been garbage. Sonic never needed sex appeal or teenage angst.
SA1 is GREAT!

Cosmic Smash
Mars Matrix
Ferrari F355 Challenge
Street Fighter III Third Strike
Maken X
Jet Set Radio
Rez
Soul Calibur
Ikaruga
Phantasy Star Online

>>12005562
You are brave for saying Sonic Shuffle. That game is okay full of some funny moments

>>12002521 (OP)
Soul calibur

>>12007479
Sonic Shuffle suffers because it isn't a very good multi player game. It's actually better with just one player.

>>12008619
I never tried with other people, always wanted to tho.
Single player is alright, the loadings are bad on console, really bad.

I do wish they tried another Sonic Party, i think last time they tried was in one of the book Wii games.

>>12002521 (OP)
where's the Saturn and Dreamcast comps for the Switch?

>>12011143
wtf Arle ballin!?

>>12009676
I really dont understand. Sega was bringing back some games like SA, JSR, Nights, CD, etc over 10 years ago and then stopped. Even the Ages stuff on Switch stopped. Panzer Dragoon Zwei was supposed to get a remake and ????

They have their PS2 Sega Ages that should be ported or make a collection of them

>>12011331

Yes. It's a really simplistic game, but worth checking out just for the animations.

Happy Dreamcast Day

I wish we got Dreamcast ports of panzer dragoon. The Saturn resolution is so low I can’t tel what anything is.

>>12002725
You could play online with the Dreamcast? wow, revolutionary back then

Dreamcastbros, would I be missing out by playing the Shenmue I & II PC port?
Don't have a Dreamcast, but can emulate 1 and play 2 on my Xbox.

>>12014286
If thats the case, play port, but update it. If you play port as it came out it is full of issues, even the Shenmue2 ost was fucked.

What you will miss is the brands, thats it.

>>12005272
Sega was likely going to release an "enhanced" controller like they did before with the 6 button on genesis and the 3d pad on Saturn, only with dual analog and 2 additional buttons. The protocol already accounted for it, and Quake 3 preemptively did make use of it.
The idea might have been to release it with a simple controller for simpler launch titles, then roll out the enhanced controller for more sophisticated ones down the line.

>>12015084
Is Quake 3 the only game that makes use of this?

>>12017006
This version is so close to perfect. I just wish they didn't replace the hall of doors with the inferior looking isle of doors
It's my only nitpick though, it's the best version when it comes to everything else

>>12016001
Hell yeah. I had THPS1 on PS1 and this was such a massive leap in visuals.

Ikaruga
Cannon Spike
Border Down
Gunbird 2
Under Defeat
Psyvariar 2
Resident Evil Code Veronica
Bangai-O
Shenmue 1
Shenmue 2

Those are my favorites off the top of my head

>>12002521 (OP)
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia 2
Shenmue
Sonic Adventure
Power Stone
Soul Calibur
Dead or Alive 2
Psyvariar 2
Jet Set Radio
THPS2
Headhunter

>>12004041
>Toy Commander
My man. I played that back in the day, but only finished it for the first time earlier this year. Really fun and creative game, great soundtrack too.
I loved the variety in the missions and vehicles.

>>12012072
I heard that JSR bombed when it got re-released on Xbox 360/PS3/PC, so they kind of got gun-shy with doing more ports. It's a shame because they put a TON of effort into that port and even got nearly all the music which is damn near a miracle.
Not to mention slapping a ton of Mega Drive games on a console is so much easier than trying to do Saturn/Dreamcast stuff, and those consoles were much less popular in the west than MD.

>>12014912
>>12014286
The ports are quite good, I think the main thing missing is the Passport from the Dreamcast versions. How important that is depends on you though.
They also are missing the brands as anon said, and also I think a minor change where they removed the Union Jack flags from Hong Kong in Shenmue 2.

Man Jet Grind Radio is so ass compared to future. Never have I been more disappointed going back to play an older game after playing the sequel first. Wtf kind of gameplay is that even supposed to be it looks so shit

>>12022860

dreamcast has some decent games.

Why didn't this ever come out in the US? Was it that bad?

>>12027057
Switched places with Pepsiman

Soul Calibur
Spawn In The Demon's Hand
Skies of Arcadia
Dynamite Cop
Heavy Metal Geometric
Unreal Tournament
Slave Zero
Rez
Sword of Berserk
Phantasy Star Online


Also, I really wish SGGG had been released in English.

>>12025116
This back on the day was quite something.
rip phone bills, they skyrocket it

I have 2 Dreamcasts

There's no point to playing any house of the dead game without a light gun, right?

>>12033809
Arguably, there's no point in playing it with a light gun as well. The Sega gun has terrible accuracy and the calibration inside the game doesn't work for whatever reason. Any PS2 Guncon game will be more fun

>>12038161
So then why is it on every single dreamcast best games list anyone ever posts?

>>12038808
