For sure. Soul Calibur has better graphics than most PS2 games and it came out in 1998. That Dreamcast was a beast. Every PS2 game has more aliasing than Soul Calibur on Dreamcast. It was stupid ignorant fvcks who decided to wait for that piece of trash PS2 instead of getting almost 2 years of awesome gaming on the DC before PS2 had even one decent game to talk about.
Usually guys who think they are "audiophiles" buy Bose speakers because they actually think they are the best. If a guy knew how much Bose sucks and let his wife buy Bose speakers then he's a pvssy and he deserves to listen to that crap. I'd never let my (future) wife buy Bose speakers, and if she did they would go right back to the store. Then again no sane person looks at my system and tries to buy audio for me or my home.

Ikaruga is originally a Dreamcast game. I have it on the Dreamcast.
I'm a a Dreamcast fanboy. I've just bought my 4th. Yes, FOURTH Dreamcast. I don't think it's techincally possible to have enough Dreamcasts or Dreamcast games. I can't get enough of that little baby
Ha ha. I have one sealed in the box and it's a made in Japan unit. It will never be used. I want to get a backup Dreamcast for my own use though. Where do you get good condition Dreamcasts? If I could a new in box one I would. I can't get enough of that little baby either. I'm doing a little MSR and SA2 right now. I want to get some Seaman, JGR and SOA in soon while my Xbox, PS2 and even GC (unfortunately for now) collect dust.

My friend loves Shenmue on his DC.

I think Shenmue as a game is the only game that I consider an absolute masterpiece. You cannot imagine the care and effort that went into making that game. No game ever has had the capability to actually transport you to another place. Every little detail was careful considered. Even the magic weather effects were simply unreal. The little things like when you go into the dining room and have a flashback of your dead father telling you to eat your vegetables because the farmers that grew those vegetables break their backs harvesting it are just unreal. The game connects with you on an emotional level that only the best movies can. There are parts in the game that cam move you to tears and other parts that incite anger bordering on rage. There's even a part in the game where the foreman you work for even advises you to find a girl and settle down and does it with real concern. This game alone has made me a Sega fan for life. Only Sega could have had the dedication to spend 8 years developing and refining this game and making it so perfect. Everybody else just puts some passable crap through renederware and that's it. You cannot imagine the amount of thought that went into this game...and the music. Absolutely unforgettable.
OMG!! If this guy is right it will be unreal. Just the place where he said that Sega is developing games that will take advantage of ALL features of the controller is enough to get me going.

The blogger guy has some interesting points.
Are the 12 cm discs going to be DVDs?
Where are the solid performance specs on Broadway and Hollywood?
Why is Nintendo being so secretive about their new controller (probably so Microsoft and Sony won't be able to copy it straight-away)?
I'm getting anxious about tomorrow now. And is Retro really developing a true FPS for Revolution? Retro kicks ass, BTW. Metroid Prime was awesome.

Not copy controllers, but copy ideas. N64 launched with an analog joystick, and PSOne came out with Dual-Analogs a little later. The N64 Rumble Pack led to the "Dual Shock" Sony controller. First console maker with a first-party wireless controller (Wavebird), and now every console maker is including wireless controllers standard.
Their hardware design is consistently the most efficient, usable, and innovative. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo's new controller has a feature that will be copied by Sony and Microsoft a year from now.
sony is once again overhyping their console. i doubt the real world performance would be what they say it would. remember ps2 and toy story graphics.

No announcement yet, but I've been searching for solid specs on the Revolution and I can't find them anywhere except here:
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=8658
They quoted a Chinese website as saying the Revolution will have a quad-core 2.5GHz PowerPC-based CPU from IBM, and a dual-core R520-based GPU from ATI. That seems a bit of a stretch, given the size of the unit, and that they only stated it was 2-3 times a powerful as the Gamecube (if those specs were true, it would be more like 8-10 times the power).

It's worse than that.
Nintendo:
4-way directional pad
Force feedback
Shoulder buttons
Sony:
Pressure-sensitive buttons
-?
Shortly after Nintendo revealed the N64 controller (long after the N64 itself), Sega released a Saturn controller with an analog thumbstick. So even though it was Nintendo's innovation Sega was first to market. Sony is pretty blantant with their assimilation of Nintendo's engineering. The two-lobed controller design was clearly inspired by the SNES. They also took the idea of two shoulder buttons and doubled it ("two is better") at the expense of ergonomics. When Nintendo revealed the rumble pack, Sony did the same thing again!
The best non-Nintendo controller innovation that I have seen is the Dreamcast VMU, which could have been better if the display was simply built into the controller.
I was really disappointed with the GC controller. It works well, but not for the types of games that I like to play (using the D-Pad). I was really expecting it to have a tilt sensor after Nintendo had released Kirby Tilt-n-Tumble for the Game Boy Color.
Once I heard that i would be able to get all the old nes, snes, and n64 games on the new gamecube i was sold on it. The very first preorder i see im gonna be getting it. Im hoping that there will be online only games from japan that we never got for the nintendo consoles like teh squaresoft games. I might get one of the other two systems but i am 100% getting the revolution. Plus is anyone not excited about seeing the controllers? I sony is the most cause then they will have something new to copy lol
2-3 times more powerful than the GameCube is the current Xbox. If that's all they can muster, it would be super lame.
If this sh|t debuts for $100 (which is the price at which I acquired my present GameCube), I may buy one.
The GC is nowhere near in the same league as the present Xbox.
Play Splinter Cell on Xbox and then play it on the Cube.
