@ Gary_b When I said it was alright I was not talking about the graphics I was talking about the game its self. I enjoyed resident evil 3 a lot more then that one.

This is true ^

But.......if you look at games that were released near the time period when it was officially discontinued then these would probably be the titles you would want to take a look at.

Yeah I see what you mean. That is true. same goes for other consoles.

Daytona USA looks great and is the best racing game I've tried. Thanks for the recommendations.

Making Shenmue now...

Sonic Adventure 2, Soul Calibur, Under Defeat and Gigawing 2 looks like a charm in a VGA box.

Glad you liked it.

The Dreamcast version of Datona USA is still the best version of Daytona racing ever created and it's an expanded edition with extra tracks and cars.

EDIT:

Tell us what you think of Shenmue. I always like to get peoples first impressions of that unique game.

Its burning now. it looks good.

PSO has a graphic and model detail that goes near the best that a dreamcast can offer, this is why in pso ver.2 certain things were removed or changed to make the game more friendly online, however even so slowdowns occur.

Soul calibur has some really basic backgrounds and fields but the char is heavily detailed

Sonic adventure doesn't have a uber model quality because the game is quite big, so they made things space friendly

UT, doesn't have much detail and chars don't look that great, the reason the game may become slow is because of certain mutators and because the game has a insane draw distance.
The draw distance is usefull in this game, i can't really consider as a relevant graphical quality, PSO doesn't need it and that makes the game faster wich gives some flexibility regarding what can be displayed on screen.

Ecco is really good, it's a big game, certain things are really detailed, it uses a low draw distance so what's on screen is really good and i mean it, there are lot's of details, textures and models that fit perfectly, finding something less detailed that is relevant is really hard.

Shenmue is awesome,

Impressive. How many interactive items did they make in this game? I bet my girl will get a kick out of it too. but 80 blocks?!> dang man, I need that 4x memory card. It seems to be a really deep game that would take a long time to look at everything. It seems good. ill give it a few hours and see what happens.

Ive read about Ecco and Ive made 4 coasters trying to play it. If you know where I can find a positive good .CDI a PM would be great.

i found some information on this subject. according to it Test Drive Lemans pushed 5 million per second. i stated 7 earlier . in any case it is still quoted as having the highest polygon per second for any Dreamcast game and the game with the 2nd highest PPS is Dead Or Alive 2 at 3 million per second.

they also say that resident evil 4 was pushing 5 million, so having any game run at this PPS on the Dreamcast is one hell of an achievement for being what is said to be inferior hardware.

broke the 1 million mark in its short lifecycle. Games known to have
done so are VF3tb (1 million pps) Sonic Adventure 2, F355 and DOA 2 (3
million pps) and Test Drive: Le Mans (5 million pps). The average
title, ported from the PC, PS1 and N64 were lower than 800k from what
I've seen, including the well reputed Soul Calibur.
