Sega Details Dreamcast Collection, Underwhelms

by Mike Bendel on January 14, 2011 @ 10:11 am


When Sega revealed that it was readying a Dreamcast Collection last month, we were understandably pumped. Details have since come to light regarding said collection and well… let’s just say it falls short of our expectations.

The compilation will highlight Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, SEGA Bass Fishing and Space Channel 5: Part 2. For a disc-based set, we presume Sega could have squeezed more than four titles on there. Also, all of these are already available digitally. Where’s the more revered classics like Power Stone, Chu Chu Rocket!, and Ikaruga? Suppose they’re saving them for another collection down the road.

It’s still a nice gesture, no doubt. Just a little underwhelming at the same time. The Dreamcast Collection is due out on February 22 for Xbox 360 and PC digital download. A European release will follow on February 25.

OMGOMGOMGOMG SEGA BASS FISHING? HELL YEAH

/sarcasm

What a disappointment.

Tavares says:

Well, at least Sonic Adventure is there... It is definetly better than any of the Sonic PS2 ou PS3 titles. And Crazy Taxi is also a great game.

I was kind of expecting something like Sonic Adv. 2, Shenmue and Chu-Chu Rocket.

It really seems like Sega is in the dark about what their fans like. Sad really.

Riorio99 says:

I thought I'd be disappointed, and then I was. Bad move on Sega's part.

Zx30 says:

Wow..Sega sure knows how to disappoint.

KezraPlanes says:

Shenmue I & II, Sonic Adventure I & II, Jet Set Radio, just to name a few...

This is so going to bomb...

Abe Froeman says:

That Dreamcast fishing game with the reel controller was the shit, don't hate.

Josey Wales says:

Theres a Sonic Adventure 2?

KezraPlanes says:

There is. D:

Josey Wales says:

Ahh no wonder, it came out around the time I got a PS2

KezraPlanes says:

Well if Sonic Adventure 1 is any benchmark, you haven't missed much xD

Zero says:

I want to replay Sonic Adventure II, played the gamecube port.

Are they offering them as individual titles on PSN?

KezraPlanes says:

I believe Crazy Taxi is already on the PSN and I know Sonic Adventure is (since I do have it)... I don't believe the other two games are going to make PSN though..

Josey Wales says:

I loved Sonic Adventure 1... so i bought it on PSN, and then i weep for the terrible camera, poor voice acting, bad timing and crappy execution...

I cant bare to be disappointed again

KezraPlanes says:

You know? I feel the same way... I try to get over the voice acting, I try to get over the bad camera...

So I decide to play Stage 1.

And then I fall through the textures halfway through it... D:

Oh SEGA, how a simple fumble like console launching can ruin your company
