So if the dreamcast survived until 2003 or 2004 we would not be seeing games not that much different from 1999 in terms of graphics. So top notch developers wouldn't be able to push the dreamcast anymore than shenmue 2 did already? wouldn't other top notch developers improve things a little more tha...

So the dreamcast wouldn't be able to have a game(rpg for example) with 5 million polygons with effects added ? This would be impossible right?

would have there been better ways to implement new effects for the dreamcast with out sacrificing too much from the game?

so what techniques have you speculated or know that could be used in dreamcast games to improve the graphics ? give me an example from a game ? thank you Fiddler and ph3nom I can't believe I forgot to consider artistic styles in the equation.

How small is the gap between the ps2 and gamecube? would the dreamcast be able to receive ports kingdom hearts or sonic heroes without too much being taken away from the game?

Could the dreamcast compete with late ps2,xbox,and gamecube graphically? I know the dreamcast had a couple amazing titles like shenmue,shenmue 2, and sonic adventure 2 but I dont think they compare well graphically to games like kingdom hearts,pyschonauts,and ninja gaiden. Did the dreamcast have muc...

Im confused so would the dreamcast ever be able to reach a polygon count to 4 -6 million polygons with programming tricks or is that just impossible? If it couldn't does this mean the dreamcast wouldn't be able to compete graphically against the ps2,xbox gamecube in multiplats ? Im have no knowledge...

Was the dreamcast pushed to its limits while it was on the market? I knew ram was a issue but could it have pushed more than 4 million poly...

Is the polygon count for the characters going to be higher than the the original shenmue?
