| KungKras said: Dreamcast was a better console than PS2 up until it was discontinued (comparing the console libraries at that time). It gave better value for money and had tons of fun games. EDIT: The dreamcast is one of the best consoles ever though. That people found a way to still play Phantasy Star online on it should be a testament to that. |
The PS2 had better games at launch, ridge racer and tekken tag tournament were awesome games and in just 1 year later we got games like metal gear solid 2 and silent hill 2 as well as shadow of memories. 3 games with the best storylines in gaming to this day.
It was better value for your money?
PS2 was fully backwards compatible with PS1 games, people could sell their PS1s to upgrade. Dreamcast couldnt.
PS2 was compatible with all PS1 controllers so there was no need to buy a second analogstick controller if you allready bought the dualshock 1. Dreamcast hasnt allowed you that, so if you upgraded your saturn controller to one with analogstick for games like night into dreams you were out of luck.
PS2s video cables were identical to its predecessor so if you bought a good scart cable for your ps1 you could use them on your next gen system at the time. $ega hasnt allowed you to use saturn cables.
Now you ad in the fact that the ps2 could play DVDs while the dreamcast couldnt its now wonder why people chose sony, really.
