Well Peter Moore who was ex Head of Sega of America did jump over to Microsoft, the 360 is the spiritual successor to the Dreamcast.

I keep forgetting about this guy lol. But your right if he's behind the success idk what will become of the next Xbox. I mean when you think about it the 360 did everything right (RRODs are an exception).

No.

Half Life was born a PC franchise and will always primarily remain a PC franchise.

It being released on the Dreamcast to greater success/more officially would not have caused the Dreamcast to have sold the 130-140 million units the PS2 has today.

Never released but a copy intented for review did leak out. Oh and yes the DC was much better imho love it along with the Snes, 2 of the finest consoles ever.

Sega had hardly any third party support left
The PS2 easily has one of the best game libraries

Ofc it does when its given the support, lets not forget also much like ps1 it had a vast array of shall we say less than sub-playable games released in fact the mass majority that can be kinda true. Mainly the IP`s and ofc others but it did get a hell of a lot of naffware, quick releases for coin.

This was never released, not even to reviewers IIRC. After the project was cancelled, a release candidate was leaked online.

And yes, DC > PS2. Graphics were clean and crisp.

Play against PC gamers (Quake 3)

Exactly, it was way ahead of its time. The controller was fantastic too with the MU's inc. the mini games.

I agree the Dreamcast was a great console, though I personally would compare the Dreamcast to the newer consoles (360, PS3, Wii)... I have no idea why, but the Dreamcast just seems that great. Then again, that was also the last console on which I played a Sonic game that I really enjoyed... Sure, SADX was OK, but it just didn't feel the same... *sigh* I'm gonna go play some Sonic games now...

The DC hardware was better than the PS2's? So games like Metal Gear Solid 3 were possible on the dreamcast?

I looked up the specs, and while the PS2 has the hardware advantage, the Dreamcast has an experience advantage. A game like MGS3 would never have been on the Dreamcast anyway. SEGA was always about family entertainment back then. The most brutal of the games released for their platforms was probably the Mortal Kombat games...

The PS2 has its place; that is where the tear-producing games, the bloody games, the games that let you kill for sport, etc. all belong.

The Dreamcast? It was just fun!

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
