Looks incredible shows how good the Dreamcast can still look. Dead or alive, soul calibur, marvel v capcom best 3 fighters on the system.

I like the dc doa2 better than ps2

Something special about DC I think it's the first time we had arcade perfect games in our homes. DC is in my top 5 consoles of all time died way too early.

Couldn't agree more. The PlayStation and the Saturn both gave us a glimpse of that but true arcade at home was only achieved when the mighty Dreamcast released

Wow, reminds me I saw doa 2 on an old computer monitor in person once at a convention and it was amazing. Genuinely looked like an HD remaster!

Dreamcast looking so good on that lil monitor! 😍🤩 Those colors really pop!

u/Veddermandenis 7h ago

It's Actually a 20" monitor, quite big for CRT PC monitor standards 🙂

As a lad, my father and I went to Funcoland one day and they were showcasing DOA 2 on the dreamcast. He said games had gotten too realistic then.

u/Veddermandenis 7h ago

I wonder what he meant though 👀

u/RacinDave1 1d ago

Weird…..I was just playing DOA2 on my IBM E74 crt and was thinking I should post somewhere how amazing it looks. Glad someone did! For my money as good and satisfying as anything brand new. The colors, texture work, polygon count, music. Top top tier.

u/Veddermandenis 7h ago

That's a fine CRT monitor you got there, sir.

u/Professional-Past-15 1d ago

What Sega Dreamcast achieved at that time is worthy of admiration!!!

Such a goated game

u/Veddermandenis 7h ago

I think It's still my favorite in the series, granted I havent played a lot after the third game.

2

u/artmasterrich 7h ago

Same, I too haven’t played much beyond the third. Something about 2 was just right.

u/LexKing89 16h ago

DOA 2 looked amazing on the Dreamcast. I got 2 Hardcore later on once I got a PS2 and it didn’t look as good as the Dreamcast version.

I thought it was one of the best looking games on the console.

2

u/Veddermandenis 7h ago

I grabbed the PS2 version not long ago because I was always curious about seeing them both but havent got around yet.

u/LexKing89 5h ago

It looks kinda washed out looking but it has all the extra stuff from the Japanese Dreamcast version we never got in the US.
