"Just For Laughs !"

I've just been over to the Dreamcast forum to see what was going on over there. I am amazed at what i have seen.

All the little Sega fans who trapse over here to attack the PS2, are over there trying to convince themselves that the PS2 is rubbish. They are listing all the games (past & future) that are going to challenge the PS2. Aw........bless them.

But seriously, they are just as dedicated to their machine as we are to the PS2, so i for one am going to cut them a little slack from now on.

I am interested in knowing a bit more about the Dreamcast, (never having played one) and whether it is as good as the PS2. Has anyone here owned/played one?

Around £40, where ever you get them from.

How much do you all reckon games are gonna cost? you all shout on about buyin TTT and DOA2 but when they are released you may well break the bank.

HE HE HE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dog sh.......

But if the public take to the PS2, as it looks like they will, and the demand for the games are as high as they were for the PSX, then you will see companies bending over backwards to code for it, whether it is difficult to programme for or not. These companies are interested in profit, and they will flock to a market leader like flies round sh..............

Trust me, it's a long term problem, not a short term one!
There may be plenty games released now but many developers may gradually decide that it's easier to support an easier to develop for console instead.

(NOT WILL HAPPEN, MAY HAPPEN!)

Well maybe not easily the best but it would b the best

TTT is sposed to b the bench mark of fighting games, All fighting games for the PS2 will be rated compared to it, 1 or the reason some ppl say DOA2 is better then TTT is because TTT is the 4th one in an episode and isn't changing a whole lot, theres a couple of extra modes, improved graphics and some more characters. where DOA2 is relativly new,
If TTT was the first ever Tekken it would b held as easily the best Beat 'em' up on the PS2

I like the way the PS2 is starting. It has the biggest launch line up of ANY console.
Think of the games that came out with the first playstation. Tekken, wipeout, toshinden etc. ow compare them with the latest gaems out on the playstation. The improvements made in the games over the five years of it's existence is amazing. Just imagine what the PS2 will be like in that time.
The problem I have with other consoles like the Gamecube and the dreamcast is the arguement against the PS2 DVD player.
Nintendo themselves have said, "The gamecube is a dedicated games machine. It does not play DVD". Ok, so I can buy a console which plays games, or a console which plays games AND DVD movies? tough choice!
Sega have realised this and are now bundling a DVD player with the console for £300. The DVD player on its own costs £220. Does that mean the Dreamcast is only worth £80?
:-)

P.S.

DOA 2 is supposed to be better than TTT. I will be getting both, just to be on the safe side.
