Kyle Downes' Short Visual History of Videogames

That was neat. Saturn was definitely great for its time but sadly the difficulty of programming proved to be its biggest drawback. So sad. The Dreamcast was my favorite system in the PS2/Xbox era. Oh how I still have fond memories of plastering my own graffiti in Jet Set Radio...

Oh what crap this video is..let me count the ways...

1. Saturn and PS1 had a huge time gap, of which the saturns total lack of new games inbetween them killed customer confidence in it.

2. What in the hell was that crap about n64? twice as fun? twice as powerful? It came out so late it probably never sold as many units as saturn did. As for power, there really isn't anything on it to show its 64 bits of power. Its video chip looks alot better thanks too texture smoothing and perspective correction, however I think it pushes slightly less polygons because of these effects. Then of course the PS1 had the cd which offered many more possabilities that the cart just could not match.

3. skipping the dreamcast until after the ps2 and xbox, this is where I shut it off. Dreamcast was a kick ass system and the first of the next gen consoles. It also sold very well and was competitive with the ps2 until the end. It wasn't consumer demand that killed the console, it was sega.

Also I would expect something with the name visual in it to be...well..more visual.
