Sega's technology

Post by Orgodemirk »

They made 16 look like 32, 32 look like 64, and 128 look like glorious heaven.

Unlike Nintendo with there 16 looks like 16, 64 looks like 63 and there 128 looks like shit.

How did Sega do that?

UMFIG SEGA
A glitch?

Okay, lemme give you a lesson.

First off, a 32-bit PSX will NEVER look better than a 128-bit DC.

Resident Evil 2 was ported to Dreamcast shortly after its release. The polygon count on the characters and main graphics were so DAMN good that people bitched it looked un-natural that the characters be at such high resolution and the background not.

Capcom got so much bitching about that, that the port of Resident Evil 3 to Dreamcast had no graphical enhancements what-so-ever.

Not even the Gamecube remake had as good of graphics as the DC version of Resident Evil 2.

I know you weren't saying their PSX version looked better than DC's. That game was made for Game.com, DC, PSX, GC, and PC. Of all of them PSX was the worst (actually game.com was, but that was a black and white handheld so what did you expect?)

DC ownz you.

I thought it was cause they were losing money so they pulled out to keep what ever respect they still had.

SEGA was losing money. That's why they brought back some of their old games back to the Gamecube. They actually made quite a bit of money, and I've heard a few rumors that they might make a new system. They just might. :D

Really? I've heard those rumors too.

It's only a little longer now before SEGA takes over the universe. . .

Sega's going to have to come back with a bang if they don't want to fail again. They now know that a really good system won't always work out.

I think they're just kinda waiting in the shadows. They're eyeing the industry just waiting for a good time to reveal a weekspot of Sony or an openning in the industry and just BAM ram the DC 2 right up their ass.

Word domination!

You know what I think Sony's weakspot will be? I'll bet its the PSP. When is that thing coming out anyway?

Having been bought by Sammy, and having sold their main character, sonic, to NINTENDO and SONY, I doubt they'll EVERy make a new console. No point in denying, they're gone. I love them, and respect them in every way possible, but they had an unfair disadvantage. They were JUST a video game making company (at least to my knowledge). Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sammy, do not JUST make games. If one of their systems go to hell, they can still come back any time with the money they have from other crap (ex. Microsoft's billion dollar computer software, Sammy's slot machines, Sony's stuff). Sega can't.

Arce, I discredit that post as the dumbest one since the birth of the forums...

SEGA NEVER SOLD SONIC YOU FREAKING DUMBASS!

Sega isn't gone either.
