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!

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
