The Dreamcast was underrated. Sega had something there, but I guess couldn’t compete against two powerhouses, not just Nintendo.

You think that's crazy, consider that the Dreamcast was released in 1998 and it took 1,000 engineers at Apple 9 years to reverse engineer the VMU in order to create the iPhone in 2007

If they said "commercial reasons" then I think they meant that it didn't sell well, them holding on longer wouldn't have changed GTA3 moving to the ps2

I kinda wonder how hard it would be to port it over, the Dreamcast is such a cool platform Though to be fair a single analog stick wouldn’t be great for it. Then again, Dreamcast keyboard and mouse…

Hear me out... GTA3 VMU minigame!

any regular cd burner could rip Dreamcast games. Guys had stacks of games, none of them paid for.

I don't think it would have saved the platform as a whole, at that point it was already beyond the point of no return for SEGA. It is sad because i loved the dreamcast.

Still didn’t have madden or a dvd player, but still would’ve been wild

I can confirm this. I helped port a Dreamcast game (MDK2) to PS2 and it was *wild* how much harder it was to get anything even remotely similar on PS2. And in fact, the PS2 version of MDK2 is objectively worse by most metrics.

Fucking pirates. I'm not sympathetic to Nintendo and their bs but man. The Sega execs must have been mad that it was UseNet who killed something of theirs instead of the execs themselves

A better world was possible

SEGA announcing that they are halting production of the Dreamcast.

I still doubt Dreamcast will make a comeback even if GTA 3 is on Dreamcast. PS2 already uses DVD that offer more space (4.7 gb) while dreamcast using proprietary disc that only stored 1 gb
