The | The '''[[wp:Sega Dreamcast|Sega Dreamcast]]''' (Japanese: ドリームキャスト; code-named "Blackbelt," "Dural," and "Katana" during development) was [[wp:Sega|Sega]]'s last video game console. | ||
== Description == | |||
An attempt to recapture the console market with a next-generation system, it was designed to supercede Sony's [[PlayStation]] and Nintendo's [[wp:Nintendo 64|N64]], and although generally considered to be "ahead of its time" (literally fifteen months before the [[PlayStation 2]] and three years before GameCube or [[Xbox]], and it was the first console which enabled players to go online), it failed to gather enough momentum before the release of the PlayStation 2 in March 2000. After the Dreamcast was discontinued, Sega withdrew from the console hardware business. | |||
Only one [[Grand Theft Auto]] game, [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], was released for the Dreamcast, taking advantage of the console's advanced processing power and allowing the game to graphically appear on par with the [[Personal Computer|PC]] version as well as retaining various features, unlike the [[PlayStation]] version. | |||
