Can the pvr make characters appear less blocky using less polygon since it doesn't have a lot ? Is there a way to do this using tricks or is this is impossible?

If you have a look at the cancelled games that were intended for DC such as Virtua Fighter 4 that graphics were supposed to get much better. Virtua Fighter 4 was just developed for the Naomi though I think, which has much more horsepower than the DC? Virtua fighter 4 was on the Naomi 2 which was tw...

Wow thanks for your answers. Now here is another question. In shenmue 1 and 2 I notice a lot of the characters look very blocky even Ryo and these games were made in 1999. When the psp,ps2 and gamecube were released their games looked hardly blocky at all.The difference between them and the dreamcas...

how come the dreamcast can only reach 3million polygons but the powervr2 limit is 7 million polygons? what causes this and is there any way to get around it?

what are some of the interesting hardware function provided?

can the sega documentation do more than the kos ?

Cool,I can't wait to see a demo or video of your work in progress. Are there any pictures available or do you want to wait until the release?

It's been a while since posted and lot has happened in the dreamcast scene. Elysian shadows has recently just been funded on Kickstarter and Ph3nom just released his new Open GL API. Im hoping next year we can start see more advancements in the dreamcast scene. I specifically want to see more games ...

how much progress have you guys achieved in 3d programming for dreamcast? whatever can you do that hombrew developers couldn't do a decade ago?

I hope we get a 3d rpg or platformer this year.

Thank you

here is the url I would have posted the video but Im having trouble embedding it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCLXIaVSQcw

check out Dave webster's dreamcast terrain engine.It feautures dynamic tessellation and dynamic lighting running at 60fps. He also used a light bloom effect in the video.

I wonder why no used most of the dreamcast graphical effects at the time.I heard it was a very easy console to program and would have probably been maxxed out by 2003 or 2004. A 2-stick controller would have definitely made porting titles easier.

What were some flaws in dreamcast games that could have been fixed if the dreamcast survived the 6th gen. An example would be loading times in Shenmue. Im not sure whether that could have been fixed but you should get what Im trying to say.

I know the dreamcast started the 6th gen but it was cancelled very early so it missed out on a lot of games.

What game from the 6th gen would you have liked to see on the dreamcast? I would have loved to see Resident evil 4 and jet set radio future.

Couldn't we mod and improve the engine or would that be too much work?

What would you guys do if the Shenmue and Shenmue 2 engines were cracked or released?

How much of the ps2's library of games could be ported to the dreamcast without too much being taken away from the games?( I already know God of War,Shadows of Colossus,and mgs3 are impossible). If there was some source codes were released or cracked would it be possible to port it without too much ...
