Console Shock Podcast 137: Saving the Sega Dreamcast


Listen Later

Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! Following on from our “Saving Saturn” episode a while back, we decided to give the Dreamcast the ‘saving’ treatment for the 25th anniversary of its UK launch! In reality the DC died a premature death, but can we try to turn the dials of history and give it a better life? Featuring our recurring guest, Al!

  • Al dives into the world of Amiga emulation!
  • DVD and the Dreamcast, was it ever feasible?
  • The Mega CD/32X/Saturn era poisoning the SEGA well.
  • No decent football (soccer) games limiting its appeal to sports fans.
  • Too much focus on short-burst arcade style experiences?
  • Publishers and developers who were MIA on the Dreamcast.
  • Was the online capability too ahead of its time to be practical?
  • Millions of marketing pounds spent on football club sponsorship, money that could be better spent elsewhere.
  • Check out Trev and Al’s other podcast where they reminisce about a different episode of Star Trek every month! : https://longrangesensors.com/episodes Intro/Outro Music – GO GO ! Sega Rally (Attract sequence/menu theme) – Sega Rally 2 (1998/1999) – Arcade/Sega Dreamcast – Composer(s): Tatsuhiko Fuyuno, Susumu Isa, Tetsuya Yamamoto, Jun Senoue, Kenji Eno, Hideki Naganuma, Tomonori Sawada
