The mythical Dreamcast would have celebrated his 10 years

It was October 14, 1999 that Europe discovered the first 128 bit console from Sega, the same one that remains in the hearts of players who spent the 1690 francs for the purchase. The echo of the name of mythical games that have accompanied or followed its release still resonates in the minds of his fans: Shenmue, PGR, Jet Set Radio, SoulCalibur, Sonic Adventure, Resident Evil: Code Veronica ... logo dreamcast La mythique Dreamcast aurait fêté ses 10 ans

The Dreamcast would have been dead 10 years.

At the time, the Dreamcast (literally "dissemination of dreams") was an alien, so she was ahead of the competition (and in Sega's own: it was the only console in white!) . The name of the first PlayStation or Saturn were pale in the face for graphics and animation seamlessly Early last Sega.

Its controller, without a revolution in ergonomics, though it was very good, especially allowed to connect over a variety of accessories. You could insert a memory card or a pack "rumble" to enable the controller to vibrate. The memory cards were actually VMU who were em a lot more: mini-console pocket with integrated LCD screen and allows for example to raise the Chaos from Sonic Adventure to the way a Tamagoshi!


La Dreamcast était la seule console blanche de Sega

The Dreamcast was also far ahead in terms of online functionality as it allowed to play online via a 56K modem built into the console. Unfortunately, this feature was not supported by enough games.

The development of games for Dreamcast was facilitated by the fact that over the Saturn, it ran on Windows CE in order to facilitate the development of games. In addition, support for gaming was the GD-ROM, a standard disc that can store 1.2GB of data and allowed for greater speed reading CD-Rom. Technically, the Dreamcast was based on the same architecture as the arcade machines "Naomi" at the time.

Sega Dreamcast wanted with his offer the general public a real alternative to the PlayStation and ahead at the same time the output of the PS2 deemed more powerful, but that proved to be much less.

Unfortunately for Sega's console was not as successful as it deserved. The reasons are unclear about this failure. Maybe it is piracy of games that were relatively easy? Maybe it's the low number of games released although the quality was very often the appointment?

Finally, the Dreamcast is a console that will be remembered long, it marks a milestone in the development of Sega. Since then, Sega was fully focused on game development and has stopped producing machines. It could be that Sega was resurrected after the failure of the Saturn ... the final one that will remain buried and destroyed any hope for us to review any new Megadrive ...

I have not mentioned the games because I think we should let readers interact with this blog!:)
