Sorry, but based on the videos I have seen, I cannot believe you. The PS2 version runs at around 20fps and it still looks a lot smoother than the Dreamcast homebrew port.
Yes it is possible, I may upload some video later, the game does definitely hit the teens, but it stays in the 20s in many areas even 60 in less demanding ones. The game suffers from inconsistent frame pacing that doesn't help either with the perception of smoothness something I've already reported to the Devs .
That would be great. Can you also record the first cutscene?
That doesn't look like 20fps to me, unless maybe you mean 20fps with severe frame pacing issues.
The first cutscene is one of the worst contenders since the rain tanks performance, I was thinking on actual gameplay...
I don't have to convince anyone really.... at least ir runs better than the same proyect on ps2...
That's exactly why I asked for it, but if you don't want us to see real fps during this demanding cutscene, gameplay will still be good enough.
I knew it... so you want to prove that the worst performance cutscene of the game is representative of the full performance, it was obvious, I am telling you, that part runs like crap, but seems only that part matter for you right? actual gameplay is meaningles I guess. ok
I am the first to say that this should be compared to the PC version it is based on.... and also already said in a previpus post that framepacing issues alredy reported to devs... what I try to say with that specific video is that the same decompilation of this game runs worst on ps2, not re retail version, the decompilation... does that mean that it is the best the ps2 can do o that it is inferior because of that, absolutely NOT! by anymeans, but it can't be compared to a comercial release, that is the point... but it looks like people wants to understand whatever narrative they follow so bah, wathever.
This only happens because of the antagonistic Sega fans who use this project as ammunition in the DC vs PS2 debate.
On the PS2 animation is still reasonably smooth even in this demanding cutscene, so that would be a good comparison, but if you dont want to show us how DC version compares in this "apple to apple" comparison then fine.
This is a composite RCA recording, but this video wasn't meant to show the image quality of the PS2 version, but the frame rate. Framerate dips below 30fps, but it's mostly around 30fps.
That's far I was thinking game wise but yeah XBL (XBLA would be XBL Arcade) was also important but really that's it. Halo and XBL. That's also coming from an OG Xbox fan.
The Ethernet built in wasn't a big deal though. HDD was but PS2 could have one added. The reason why built in Ethernet wasn't a big deal was most people in 2001 were still using dial up so it was useless anyway. Dreamcast's built in modem was a MUCH bigger deal.
It's because there are no filters in the Dreamcast version but color banding on the headlights and other light sources, jaggies , lower pallet and that flat look that people love.
The Dreamcasts 56k modem is removable and there was even a broad band adapter available from Sega. Which is pretty rare to come by now. I feel like XBL and an internal harddrive was a pretty big deal for the Xbox, as it really pushed online gaming aspect forward. 8GB HDD was a big deal back then. The Xbox was able to use it to stream data from the drive and store save data without the need for external memory cards.
It's actually ED.In SD
In 2025
It's really hard to say much much less stuttering there would be if it was on an actual pressed GD-ROM formatted disc compared to some burned CD-R. We may never know, given how hard it is to manufacture GD-ROM discs. Truly a unique disc format... but I guess so is the GCN GameDisc, and the PSP UMD.
It was rare to come by back then. I wanted one badly and never got one. I figured out using a broadband connected PC as a proxy server for a DC through its PCI modem before procuring a BBA. Yes Xbox having ethernet was kind of a big deal.
Watch the entire video video, and then talk.
The point is that even if you say you don't give fuck, you still quoted to give your opinion convinced that the Dreamcast Ver. it's better. Even for a stupid detail like in Resident Evil Code Veronica, but you fell on it...

From "lol DC can't do open world" to "lol it looks all purple with glitches all over" to "lol it's like 5 fps less than PS2", the stupid arguments while this is going without a C&D just get more frivolous as a handful of amateurs prove the haters spectacularly wrong & dumb and they now grasp at straws like how it's some fanboys' fault for calling them out for the bs and bringing in strawman arguments nobody here claimed like how the Dreamcast was called more powerful than the PS2 or whatever, just because folks disagreed with calling it a shit system unable to do things it very clearly did
Boo hoo, you're such a loser fanboy pointing out ways in which the GTAIII port to DC is more demanding/less than ideal for an old console port than the PS2 version, you should just let us point out it runs/looks worse cos Dreamcast is shit, was always shit and will always be shit in peace
DC version is better because RE CV is a title built around DC strenghts. No worries, buttercup, no one is saying here your beloved PS2 (i also have one and and love it) is less powerful than DC. WE ALL KNOW DC IS WEAKER THAN PS2, as PS2 is weaker than GCN and Xbox, but PS2 was the most successful console on history (i hope switch break that record) it was taken far beyond its limits over and over, guess what? DC couldnt, and the good people working on this GTA 3 port, or likeThe point is that even if you say you don't give fuck, you still quoted to give your opinion convinced that the Dreamcast Ver. it's better. Even for a stupid detail like in Resident Evil Code Veronica, but you fell on it...
This is not rare a re-release add some additionnal 3D element or content. But that doesn't mean that the previous version or the hardware was "incapable" or "needed compromise." Especially laughable when San Andreas, The Gateway, Driver 3 or even True Crime have MORE details on each frame than GTA 3.
If you find this reaction stupid :
"Lol ps2 cant draw ear, 3DS better
So the tweet quoting "compromises on the PS2 version" is also stupid

modding and improving DOA 2, amongst others, are making justice to the system. What is your problem with that? Dude, DC GTA 3 is based on PC version, therefore it has some advantages over the PS2 original, but of course it´s an alpha and it´s not superior overall, no worries...PS2 is still more powerful...And about the 3DS MGS3 stuff you´re bringing without any reason, son: just answer this, could PS2 handle RE Revelations?
Most Dreamcast fans moved on like 23 years ago and bought a PS2 lmao.
