Yep your right. Another great console that died under Sony's desperate bid to woo developers to their side.

I heard Shenmue 3 is in development for the Xbox 360. Should be impressive :)

This is one of the biggest suprises to most. Although the DC CPU in terms of GFLOP/s was lower than the PS2's. It still out performed it.

You just have to remember the days of AMD processors outperforming higher spec Intel processors in terms of gaming. Its the same for the DC's SH-4 RISC CPU.

As is the GPU the DC used, although it used less Polygons per second, it had more hardware extras than its PS2 counterparts GPU, Alphablending, PixelShading, etc were all nice extras on the DC. And each of which helped boost performance and rendering in games.

Wonder why Shenmue looked impressive and played smoothly? When was the last time you had that type of real time rendering in a PS2 game?

Did you know the dreamcast was a much more superior console to the PS2. Its true. Just the developers believed the hype Sony threw at them. Shame too.

lol, it really wasn't.

Tell me why it wasnt?

DABhand_UK, Then post your specs, else I think you're just trolling.dunamistheou

Why would I troll? There is no need to.

The thread is about peoples disappointment with the game, and for me is the common problem that is affecting many people and thats the mouse lag in game. Making the game nearly unplayable as the game cant parse the mouse correctly due to the bad port from xbox 360 to PC.

But if you want to know my specs sure

AMD FX-57

Asus M2N32 WS Pro Motherboard

2x 8800 GTS (640mb) SLI'd

4g Crucial DDR2-800

X-Fi Elite Pro

2x400GB Sata WD HD's

And the usual other suspects :P

Well the drivers are whats used to run hardware.

But with PC's its hard to totally figure out whats the cause, due to multiple hardware build possibilities. It could be incompatible due to other hardware.

If you must now my rig is a bit higher than your own.

FPS runs at 60ish average at full settings, higher on lower settings.

Either way when moving around the view jumps around, due to the poor port, with or without a controller there is mouse lag due to the engine parsing mouse information as if its a xbox controller.

But im guessing Blizzard will want to target as much people as possibly. So expect the requirements to be low.

Why do people assume im some sort of eejit when it comes to gaming, hardware or anything else :P

I assure you its mouse lag. Its not anything else. It is mouse lag.
