Dreamcast Games That Never Made It :-(

Post by mkjones »

I was just reading Sega Saturn : The case of the missing software on the Sega Base website URL: http://www.atani-software.net/segabase/ I have read this about 10 times now and I never get bored of it.

Its all about games that never made it onto the Saturn platform becuase of costs, production deadlines, politics and more. Probably the most publisized is Sonic X-Treme but others include Virtua Fighter 3, Resident Evil 2 etc...

Just like to start a debabe about Sega Dreamcast games that are sorely missed but were promiced before they discontinued the system.

2 that I can think of are Half Life and Propeller Arena.

What about you?

have managed to get a release of some cancelled Mega CD games; maybe something similar can be attempted with those DC games?

Yeh I meant Saturn, obviusly some Saturn games that never made it did make it for the DC i think Sonic Adventure was just a rehash of Sonic X-Tream for example..

Anyone who hast already read the sega base stuff should do so NOW....

Someone mentioned that VF3tb for Dreamcast used the Saturn VF3 engine with added texture smoothing (and/or antialias?). Which would explain why it looks a bit shat. Dunno if it's true though...

I remember the whole Soul Reaver 2 petition. I think it had over 70k signatures, which is down right amazing...
