Message: [QUOTE="Parasite_Steve, post: 76179, member: 5378"] You‘d have to rebuild the entire game from scratch, basically, including the entire 3D geometry, figure out how all the elaborate effects work on completely different hardware then rebuild all the game logic, etc. the list is endless. While the Dreamcast had a slight if limited edge with texture quality and anti-aliasing the ps2 was much more capable at rendering polygons. I remember an interview with the guys at naughtydog from 2000/2001 where they talked about that in detail. FFX was built from the ground up for the console, making extensive use of the quirks and strengths of the emotion engine. It may not look that impressive anymore but it was fairly high-polygonal stuff for the time and I don’t see the Dreamcast remotely capable of handling the geometry let alone the storage space necessary for such a sizeable game. Gta3 is much simpler by comparison and I assume it helped a little that the Dreamcast uses windows ce as an OS and still it took countless years. [/QUOTE]
