Dreamcast\'s anniversary?

Lol  Blue Stinger?That was one of the worst DC games.Actually one of the worst games I ve ever tried out.

Anyways one of the reasons why PS2 didnt made the same impression as the DC did to many was because the DC had already introduced the 128 bit generation to gamers a year before.

DC was a huge leap from the previous generation.But people compared the PS2 to the DC, not the previous generation and that leap was smaller ofcourse.

When I first saw the DC I was like WHOAH THATS JAW DROPPING!Ofcourse that changed later.Some of the same games didnt look as impressive or as  interesting as before when the PS2 was released.The "wow factor" fell for me for both PS2 and DC and increased slightly later when developers started getting the grips of the PS2 hardware.

House of The Dead 2 didnt play differently from House of the Dead1 and I lost the original interest

Blue Stinger playied and looked like CRAP!

Trickstyle rocked my world and SSX was easily a good replacement

Soul Calibur was always great.But atleast for me TTT was as good purchase as Soul Calibur would have been since I was a huge Tekken fan and was spending hours on TAG at the arcades.

I still play Sonic Adventure though on my PC ;)
Puts Sonic Heroes to shame

But overally both launches were good

the only "bad" launch i\'d give a mainstream console was either atari jaguar or virtual boy.

No one said that Blue Stinger was a great game , but it was better than say, Summoner.

Yeah, you can\'t compare the two. That\'s like saying "Halo 2 is WAY better than Gran Turismo 4 in every way!!"...

Mmmkay...

How about this.......

The PS2 lacked a stand out title, other than SSX (and I\'d argue that one), where as the DC launched with three stand out titles (Sonic Adventure / Soul Calibur / House of the Dead 2).

....you listed a few of them them already

PS2
SSX
Tekken Tag
Ridge Racer V
Timesplitters

all were highly regarded and well reviewed.  
just because you didn\'t personally like them doesn\'t mean they weren\'t great.

Tekken Tag? It was a high res version of Tekken 3.

Ridge Racer V - Was a jaggy mess and more of the same.

Timesplitters - Boring, \'cept for a level editor.

Yea, and I\'d like to stick up for SSX. I didn\'t think it was average at all. I played it at a friends and ended up buying two sequels on its coattails. I\'ll probably get the next one, too. Peach on skis, plz.

Anyway, I sense , the ppl who are sour about DC\'s demise and sour towards PS2 are even more sour against PS3 without any logical foundation.
