GameCube is actually more "retro" than Dreamcast.

Dreamcast:
>Bundled with a modem like Xbox
>Seganet with online subscription service
>Lots of DLC

GameCube:
>Plug and play, just like N64

Nintendo dropping the ball and selling a shit console without a feature that was considered a market standard at the time doesn't make the GC retro.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 21 18:31:28 2019 No.5453190 >>5453186 Wrong. Vintage and Antique have defined dates. Retro is usually fairly recent.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 21 18:32:29 2019 No.5453193 >>5453186 Nigga, antiques are 100 years old or more. You can't get fucking "antiques" from 1950.

Dreamcast and Xbox paved the way to DLC and online gaming.

PS2 fumbled but scrapped together some online stuff.

GameCube sat barren like it's N64 predecessor. The only distinction is it had better graphics. It is just an upgraded 5th gen console. Dreamcast and Xbox were the industry leaders for technology and features of what became modern gaming, yet Dreamcast is discussed actively on here but GameCube isn't.

2001 is retro if 1999 is retro.

They're arbitrary terms, so all we have is our definition of what modern consoles do that retro consoles dont'.

Dreamcast and Xbox do what modern consoles do.

You could still buy an ethernet adaptor for the Cube.

>Seganet with online subscription service
An optional service, most people just used their own ISP instead.

>Lots of DLC
Gamecube still has 1 game that has DLC, a Konami baseball game.

Sorry OP, your argument failed. GCN is just as modern as the rest of 6th gen, even if its online sucked compared to the others.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 21 18:51:02 2019 No.5453234 Everybody here knows but pretends not to, but the fact that Dreamcast is considered retro and PS2, Xbox and Game Cube aren't just because of a simple detail is pretty fucking stupid.

Automobiles in my state are "Antique" after 30 years. They are "Classic" after 20.

The remaining 6th generation consoles are older now then the Dreamcast was when it was allowed as a discussion point.

With the Release of the Xbox One-X & PS4 Pro, The entire 6th generation of gaming consoles, and DirectX9/Windows Xp software should be included as acceptable discussions within the retro forum.

Was SegaNet a pay service? I actually bought a Dreamcast on 9/9/99 and I never once had to pay for an online service to play games online. I connected to the net through my own ISP. And I use to play games like Daytona USA 2001 and Phantasy Star Online for free.

>>Lots of DLC

Not really. DLC was pretty limited to small things like seasonal themes for Sonic Adventure and such. The Dreamcast didn't have a hard drive, so storage was really limited on those VMU's.

>>	Anonymous Thu Mar 21 19:11:44 2019 No.5453272 If you're going to be so retardedly reductive, you may as well call the Dreamcast a proto Wii u because of the vmu.

There are 25 games total for the Dreamcast that have DLC, you can download them all here:

http://www.dreamcastlive.net/dlc.html

All DLC packs combined equal to 2.7MB total.

i just dont want 6th gen because i think 6th gen sucks.
there are some good games for sure, but i think 6th gen is where contemporary mainstream game design was really fleshed out.

I'd rather play a contemporary brown FPS that at least looks good than some ugly 2004 brown FPS.
