I just finished God of War, and it got me thinking about the dreamcast. God of War (and God of War II) are basically swan-song titles for the the ps2. You could say the FFXII and these games basically got the most out of the system.
I wonder....if the DC had somehow stuck it all these years (not in the backgrounds, mind you, as a real competitor), what developers could have found out about the hardware. Was the DC more powerful than the PS2 in any respect? Where there aspects about the DC that made it better than the PS2?
Do you think that Shenmue II is the most the DC could do? For example, could the DC do disc streaming like the other consoles?
I just have a feeling that if it had lasted in the market, the DC could have made had some very technically impressive games. Despite the age, Grandia II still looks quite well. I always liked the textures.
What do you guys think?
