what is the big difference between playstation 1 and dreamcast? cuz the hype is about playstation but what makes it so much better?
i know that playstation 2 is cool cuz it can play dvds and goes on the interenet and stuff like that.....but i dont understand the whole dreamcast issue!!!
is it just the graphics that change and the games or is it a bigger issue like the loading time or the memory cards or something more along those lines?
-
Playstation and DC are both great systems, Dreamcast can currently go on the internet...PS2 cant right now, but will. DC doesnt play DVD\'s, PS2 does. For some people that matters to others it does...(mainly to those who ALREADY have a DVD player).
-
thanx but you didnt need to shut me down like that i was just curious!
-
Sorry if it came out wrong. I didnt mean for it that way...It was a reasonable question...its cool.

People with patience will choose Playstation 2, people who lack patients will choose DC, that\'s what it comes down to.

Do you know how incredibly biased you sound when you say that? What you said is exactly like me saying, "People with patience will choose GameCube/Xbox, people who lack patience will choose Playstation 2." Do you see how biased you sound now?

Come on boys play nice each system has its good and bad points its up to personal opinion.Eaisesino people with paciance will waight for sony3 people who don\'t well you get the picture!!!
-
Ugh. Don\'t even get me started.
Billy\'s right.
-
I"m gettin the PS2 and the Gamecube, but I personally want the PS2 more
-
Uh, folks... nobody actually answered the question:
"what is the big difference between playstation 1 and dreamcast?"
Y\'know, like Dreamcast is a next generation system, meaning it was released about five years after the Playstation. Some other tidbits would be nice too, like a comparison of bits/bytes/polys \'n stuff? I\'m not a console nerd so I don\'t know all of the numbers but I\'m sure someone here does.
-
Um...
Dreamcast has a whole bunch of bad ass games. PS2 doesn\'t.
DC plays over the internet, PS2 doesn\'t (yet).
Dreamcast is cheaper and you can actually go to a store AND BUY ONE, that\'s nice.
DC has those cool VMU\'s that play games and show cool little animations on your controller, PS2 doesn\'t.
DREAMCAST: IT\'S THINKING!!!
PLAYSTAION 2: IT\'S HIDING!!!!
I own and enjoy both.
-
Um, it says "PLAYSTATION 1" in the question does it not? Why do you people keep bringing up the PS2?
-
Well, there goes this thread down the drain. And I had such high hopes...
:eyemouth:
-
You shouldn\'t ever get your hopes up high on any thread comparing two systems. Although I\'ve never seen someone compare Dreamcast to PS1. Dreamcast is way better than PS1.. They are 5 years apart. PS2 on the other hand is better or worse than Dreamcast depepnding on who you talk to. I can\'t see any thing better on Dreamcast than PS2 personally, but I\'m just into nice looking fun games. I can only buy a game or so a month anyway so I don\'t give a rats patooty how many games Dreamcast has. By the time I need another game, another one will come out. Yahoo..
Dangit, I didn\'t answer your original question. I suck..
-
BillyGunn, it has nothing to do with "patience". The Dreamcast has some exclusive Sega made titles that will never see the light of day on the PS2. And vice versa. Some people really like those exclusive titles, so they bought the Dreamcast. That patience comment was a little biased. It\'s as if you were saying there is only ONE correct system to buy. Which is NOT true. The system to buy is the system that has the games you personally enjoy. If you loved Sega made titles, it\'d be crazy to pass up on a Sega made machine. Same with 2D Capcom titles or arcade games. There is no one true system that is perfect for everybody. Wow. That was a very XBox-Fan-ish thing for you to say. There\'s no reason to take jabs at the Dreamcast, unless you want to see my username.
Anyway, between Dreamcast and Playstation 1: obviously, power. Playstation 1 has some great games and a huge library, but it\'s support is dwindling in favor of newer systems. A great system to buy to play games already existing (they\'re cheap too), but you won\'t get the latest and greatest (trust me, there are plenty of older "greatest" games for it though). But, if you haven\'t played it, it\'s new to you. The Dreamcast is a new console, has about 175 games. It allows you to play over the internet. It really depends on what games you want, what franchises you enjoy, what developers you like.
-
as you can see i am new so i dont know all the rules, but i am sorry for spaming....From my personal option, i think the fun factor of the games on the playstation were way better on the ps1 than the dreamcast, ya graphics are some what important, but thats why ill wait for a ps2, by the time i can get my hands on one there will be so many games out, and the dreamcast has been out for how long now? and how many games do they have? And if you think dreamcast graphics are the same as ps2 graphics, then you need to get a pair of glasses
-
Uh, again, another jab at the Dreamcast. Why? Is it really that much of a threat?
Dreamcast has been out for a year and has 175 games with more on the way. Far more than the PSX or any other console had after their first year. The Dreamcast also has 3 million users in the US. Again, far more than any other console after it\'s first year. As far as Dreamcast graphics vs PS2 graphics: well, from what I\'m reading in Multiplatform gaming magazines and websites, titles that appear on both systems have comparable graphics. DOA2, Rumble 2, etc. I\'ve also seen a review at MSNBC that stated NFL2k1\'s players looked better than Maddens. (I don\'t particularly trust MSNBC\'s views of Sony though). So, at the very least, yes they are comparable so far. Eventually, the PS2 will pull away. But the punk asses spent an extra year on their machine. If they don\'t pull away, they are an embarassment to the industry.
But, hey, thanks for the nice little cheap shot at the Dreamcast. No, PS2 doesn\'t blow it away.. yet. Yes, Dreamcast has a truckload of games (175) - moreso than any other console at the same point in it\'s history. The Dreamcast is a damn good system putting up some damn good numbers; particularly considering the huge advantages PS2 has (PSX, more time=more power, more developers).

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A BIASED OPINION IS BOY?When you say you liked PSX over the DC,I\'m willing to bet money that you haven\'t truly played DC.Otherwise,you would know what a TRUE next-generation console feels like.
Patience huh Mr.Ass(can I call you Mr.Ass cuz he was my favorite wrestler)?Like someone else said,I could argue that people who really had patience would wait for GameCube and X-Box.Instead of waiting for a semi-descent DVD player that can play crappy low quality games.But for the SMART people who know good games,the\'ll get the DC. With 175 games already out for it(most high quality),how could you not choose it over PS2?Yes,the word opinion comes into mind,but I can any idiot would realize that DC has more great games than the PS2 does.Its a commom fact.Besides,who wants to wait till March to get a PS2?Not me.
*Note to everyone.You see how easy it is to make cheap shots at a system?I can make cheap shots for every system if I wanted to.But your talking too much trash against the DC (I won\'t name names) and making the PS2 look like the best system when it really isn\'t.Ignore my cheap shots at it,even though they were easy to make....*
-
then tell me, why cant i put up a biased opinion? espically because its a PS2 forum, if i like DREAMCAST ( which i have played many times before) I would praobably go to a DREAMCAST forum...and i didnt say that dreamscast didt have better graphics than ps1 I SAID FUN FACTOR...and dont call me boy
-
jeroen\'s got a point, although i did ask the question of the comparison. even though some people think one is better it is only their opinion and you should probably think twice about what you say.
so if i like car racing games would it be better for me to buy a dc or a ps2?
-
then tell me, why cant i put up a biased opinion?
Well,you can if you want,but I wouldn\'t recommend it.When you do put up a biased opinion,then you get your ass burned by someone and make yourself look like a fool.Ktulu is a good example of this,you said something stupid,he semi-burned you.Wait till Altered Beast and Living-In-Clip get a hold of you...
if i like DREAMCAST ( which i have played many times before
I highly doubt that.I\'ll give you a chance though,name some games that you have played for more than an hour and write a little summary on each one.
I would praobably go to a DREAMCAST forum...
Damn!If only you liked Dreamcast...
and i didnt say that dreamscast didt have better graphics than ps1 I SAID FUN FACTOR
Like I said above,give me some DC games you played for an hour or slighty less and write something about each one. I\'ll shut up then and only then.:D
and dont call me boy
No problem girl.
even though some people think one is better it is only their opinion and you should probably think twice about what you say.
Read above you dumb.I highly doubt this guy has played DC enough to judge which system is better fun wise.
so if i like car racing games would it be better for me to buy a dc or a ps2?
DC!

haha lol! funny. Hey Jumper(you don\'t mind if I call you that, do you?) your getting kinda outta line again. Be careful. You don\'t wanna get banned again. But that was pretty funny...
Once again the correct answer to the question is: The best system is the best system for you.
It all comes down to a personal preference. Get the one you like the best.

gees, i didnt know you loved dreamcast that much, maybe you need to get out more or something, Why would i lie about not playing dreamcast, i have play soulblade, mortal kombat 4, space what its called that dancing game, which i say sucked, but it would suck on any system no matter, how good, now i didnt like all of them except soulblade, because it had so nice graphics, but if you compare that to tekken tag tournment there not much different...graphic wise. What you fail to realize is that I like tekken better BECAUSE IT IS FUNNIER...you may not believe me, and i really dont care if you do, but the reason why ps 2 is doing so good is not because of it graphics, but because of the games they produce on ps1 has given sony a good name...what did the saturn do? i had one and within a year i gave it away...same with n64....the games they made(even though they might have been good games, playstation brought out games even better...you will diny probably everthing i said because you LOVE your system so much you ignore all of the facts.....go head call me a girl....whats wrong with that...at least i dont envy a ****ing box

anyone who types in caps isn\'t biased... no... really... :D

Nuon rulz!!!!!!!!!!!! :D ok so it doesn\'t,but nobody is paying attention to the first original post,so neither will i :laughing: :bounce:

Hey man, leave me outta your discussion with jumpman. I don\'t think I flamed ya, and if I did, I apologize. As far as the "opinion" statement, here is what I was addressing:
the dreamcast has been out for how long now? and how many games do they have? And if you think dreamcast graphics are the same as ps2 graphics, then you need to get a pair of glasses
First of all, as I said, they have 175 games. I didn\'t want folks thinking they had none. Do they have more quality games than PS2? Definitely. BUT THEY SHOULD. It\'s a REQUIREMENT to have more quality titles given an extra year of building your library - not an accomplishment. And certainly nothing whatsoever to brag about. PS2 has some outstanding titles, but it is far from blowing DC away visually. It will happen in a year or two though (another thing that is required after an extra year of R & D).
Tekken is more fun (IMO) than any fighting title on Dreamcast (except VF3tb - but I\'m a huge mark for that series). Racing game wise... Rage Racer/Wipeout XL on PSX are still the kings in my book. After your sentence about DC being out a year and having very few games, I had to clear things up - don\'t want anybody getting the wrong impression. Believe me, there are many that are getting high marks (over 30).
The list of what I\'m playin\' now: Quake Arena Online, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (Neversoft\'s gettin\' a christmas card for this one), NFL2k1, NBA2k1, VO:OT, VF3tb, Marine Fishing, Gunbird 2, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Giant Gram 2000, Cannon Spike. The best first year library I\'ve enjoyed on any console so far. I left out Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Shenmue, Jet Grind Radio, Test Drive Le Mans, and many others that are scoring over 90. I don\'t like people saying a console has no good games - or very few. Because at that point you are insulting the developers moreso than the console maker.
-
Ummm.....there\'s no such thing as an unbiased opinion or biased opinion. It is an opinion not fact. People can have that and it\'s ok to disagree.
-
Geez if only I could flame you...
Why would i lie about not playing dreamcast, i have play soulblade, mortal kombat 4, space what its called that dancing game, which i say sucked, but it would suck on any system no matter, how good, now i didnt like all of them except soulblade, because it had so nice graphics, but if you compare that to tekken tag tournment there not much different...graphic wise. What you fail to realize is that I like tekken better BECAUSE IT IS FUNNIER...
Ok your comparing SoulBlade to TTT.Try comparing TTT to Soul Calibur next time.
you may not believe me
Oh,I do.To a certain extent.
but the reason why ps 2 is doing so good is not because of it graphics, but because of the games they produce on ps1 has given sony a good name...
What?I thought it was FUN according to you?And we all know the PS2 isn\'t doing good because of it\'s graphics.:D
playstation brought out games even better...
OPINION.I owned both a PSX and N64 and was EQUALLY satisfied with both.
you will diny probably everthing i said because you LOVE your system so much you ignore all of the facts
Ignore...what facts?You havent brought up any facts.You just keep bringing up your opinions,which mean nothing.
go head call me a girl....whats wrong with that...
...Your a girl?
at least i dont envy a ****ing box
Oh well two can play your immature game...
At least I don\'t envy a ****ing over priced,over-heating piece of **** DVD player.

Glad to see your flaming days are over Jumpman.

Me Dumb, have you played Gran Tourismo 1 or 2? I find them to be the best racers on the market. GT3 will be coming out for PS2 in March. Ridge Racer 5 is out now, though i haven\'t played it.
I don\'t know if GT3 is coming out for Dreamcast or not. But it will be very, very good.
