Tokyo Xtreme Racer (Dreamcast vs PlayStation 2) Gameplay Comparison 

It's such a shame that the Dreamcast lifespan was so short it truly deserved better😔

the reflections on the Dreamcast are fantastic, on the PS2 there is no reflection on the rear window, I noticed that in the Dreancast version the car's movement is smoother and with more frames.

Dreamcast and Saturn always had this pure arcade style look. ❤

That Metropolis Street Racer soundtrack... :D

I had both versions during their releases. I prefer the Dreamcast version, besides the visuals I liked the gameplay better as well. Not sure how many people noticed this, but there was car fatigue so to speak in the PS2 version, meaning after extensive period of driving the same car it would lose some power and acceleration would suffer. It was noticeable and annoying to me, having to going back to the garage or changing cars and starting over.

Watching this video made me realize how awesone this game is.

La versión de Dreamcast se ve mucho mejor. Los reflejos, el color... Que gran consola

Dreamcast era a frente do seu tempo, pena não ter continuado, tinha muito ainda a oferecer, e quem sabe depois dele um Dreamcast 2 para ter concorrido com PS3 e Xbox 360. Att

Dreamcast

This is an interesting comparison. This is one of the pairs of comparable games on DC and PS2 in which some would say that the DC's hardware has been pretty much peaked, while the developers started to dig deep into the PS2's hardware. Here, while we can see the Dreamcast's usual pros, like the reduced aliasing, generally better textures, and more vibrant imagery, we can also see the PlayStation 2's pros, like the higher fillrate/draw distance, more polygons, and better/more consistent lighting. Saying which looks better is about as subjective as it could possibly be. On the DC, I love the glossy look on the vehicles, the smoother texturing, and the addition of traffic for filling up the more vibrant scene. But, on the PS2, I love the enhanced draw distance and lighting, and more accurate reflection mapping, which can even be found on certain windows on buildings. I do think people need to chill out when agruing which of these two look better, though I can empathize on both sides. But either way, is it not a safe bet that TXR 0 is showing more graphical fidelity than TXR 2 overall? The increased draw distance is one thing, but the variety of lighting and reflections is very striking, though I don't really mess with the shading on the car when it's in a tunnel. Looks off. The lighting and reflections may be establishing the PS2's better memory capacity, like how there are no short pauses (as far as I know) to load each time you drive long enough, unlike in TXR 2, though at the same time, it is impressive how short the loading is.

The Dreamcast colors are more vibrant, you see better reflections, and the car appeared to be faster than the PS2 version.

txr and txr 2 where my life for months on the Dreamcast, i love that machine so much : D

Aunque lo pone en la descripcion... pero ya que no todos leen por ahi. No se trata del mismo juego. La version de ps2 es del año siguiente y es la continuación del juego de Dreamcast

La versión de PS2 tiene antialiasing y mayor distancia de dibujado a costa de menos reflejos pero la versión de Dreamcast tiene un gran número de IA lo que hace que el juego se sienta más vivo.

The PS2 is using interactive lighting for the most part, seen on the specular highlight on the car. However the car doesn't look as nice as the Dreamcast version with its fake specular lighting; The RX-7 looks like it has a high gloss finish on the DC, the PS2 version looks a bit muddy/ flatter. I don't know if it was the mode chosen for this play through, but the DC version had more traffic on road than the PS2. The PS2 version, being a sequel, goes and refines some of the track/road and background geometry. I had this on the Dreamcast and it was quick fix game, get in and play a session or two.

Я так рад, что познакомился с этим шедевром именно на Дримкаст. Графика, звук, геймплей, трафик. Всё в лучших традициях городских гоночек. Очень жаль, что Сега прогорела со своей консолью( Наверное Гран Туризмо и NFSU2 тоже бы выглядели шикарно👍

It's the singer from sonic R. Title: Am I Only Dreaming Singer: Teresa Jane Davis

Is it me, or is the dreamcast using a looping animated texture to make the car look more glossy? I think the ps2 version seems to be using realtime lighting engine instead.

4:36 Really a Beautifull Track. I don't know why you wanted to put a different track than of Tokyo Xtreme Racer. Anyway it was a Great Choice to put this track of Metropolis Street Racer.

Porque tiene musica de MSR?

A versão de ps2 não tem veículos na pista?

@VCDECIDE, have you tried the new controller on space channel 5 part 2? What do you think of the d-pad response?

Prestei a atenção nas luzes dos postes, do Ps2 parece ter uma iluminação mais fiel, mas a do Dc fica como um rastro de luz quando passa por eles, parece que da um aspecto de mais velocidade

Many comments here claiming they see more polygons in the PS2 version are evidence of Sony's effective marketing. In practice, the two consoles are very similar. The better resolution of the DC just makes it easier to see polygon edges. Comparing the two frame by frame, there are no real differences in this respect. However, the differences in texture resolution are very clear. The PS2 version has significantly lower resolution textures due to the lack of hardware texture compression.

i like how people focus on the colors more then the better dynamic lighting and higher polygons on the car models on the PS2 at the cost of lower reflections, sure nice colors are cool and help a lot in the game but that only goes so far. also TXRZ uses a different driving/physics models like the longer you race without going to the garage the car becomes more slower as time goes on and there's tire wear too. also sad ya didn't play in story mode as that would show more traffic instead of Time trial witch has no traffic. also there's more stuff going on in the city bits on PS2. also the game size is 1.5GB on PS2 wile the Dreamcast is about 500 MB in size.

abertura do Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 é puro cinema

isso é normal o ps2 não ter outros carros na pista ou foi alguma opção que vc esqueceu de habilitar?

Both look great. One looks obviously better though. We all know which one it is.

Hey, I'm pretty sure that music is not from this game. It's from Metropolis Street Racer. 🤔 Was it in BOTH games?

Dreamcast colours look more vibrant and the image is more sharp but the lighting on the PS2 is better, the car is actually reacting to the street lights unlike the Dreamcast.

Por que os videos não possuem mais os seus comentários pessoais sobre os ports em questão?

Песни из МСР!) Хорошие треки, великолепные. Графика на Дримкаст ничем не уступает более мощной ПС2, скорее всего просто особенность разработки самой игры. Видно что движок игры тот-же из МСР.

Image Quality: DC Lighting: PS2

I loved Tokyo Extreme racer! Bring to switch! Such a fun game.

Dreamcast mucho mejor

PS2 's graphics always paled in comparison to Xbox, but dreamcast? Damn. The Dreamcast was underrated.

Dreamcast is a sight to behold.

¿Ese día no había tráfico en la ciudad de ps2?... VIVA DREAMCAST. Si tenemos en cuenta la diferencia de años de esas dos consolas Dreamcast es un prodigio de su época. Realmente ps2 a nivel técnico no es más que otra consola más del montón.

PS2 Better lighting and Further draw distances most likely due to the higher polygon count, dreamcast higher resolution, less jaggies better reflections maybe even slightly better textures. Seems to be playing at the strengths of both systems.

PS2 is a better system overall.

I miss the game! And Metropolis street racer! 👍🏻

Às cores no Dreamcast me agradaram mais, porém o ps2 tem melhor iluminação e mais campo de visão.

Dreamcast tiene mejores reflejos, PS2 mejor fondo y mejor distancia de dibujado... ¡Ame la música del grandioso Metrópolis Street Racer! Exitos

Whatever music this is, IT’S FUCKIN GOOOOODDDDD!!!! Metropolis street racer or whatever. Mmmmmm let’s have a party.

dreamcast era bom mas ps era sensacional, só os cgi, os efeitos de menu, fizeram toda diferença.

Man early PS2 games were rough

i'm more of a Playstation kind of guy but from what I seen here. Dreamcast version have better colors, better resolution and contrast, have other vehicles on the road which made it felt more lively. Playstation 2 version have better environment details, no cars on the road I dunno why, better draw distance, load faster and the lighting is more dynamic, well yes it have that static light reflection the dreamcast version have but there's more dynamic lighting going on with the ps2 version, lighting inside the tunnels reflect on the cars and same as the lampposts that is absenceon the dreamcast version. maybe the extra development on the ps2 version made them add more stuff. as for the controls I dunno, I never played this game before but in my opinion using the shoulder buttons in a racing game is more natural than the face buttons but I get why the ps2 version is using the old school x button as the gas since the ps2 controller buttons are pressure sensitive.

PS2 looks sad compared to the two-year-old game from Dreamcast, since the PS2 version of the game not-uses ordinary transport... apparently there was not enough space on the DVD. (sorry for bad english)

Why the Dreamcast version look better?

O sistema de iluminação e reflexos no Playstation 2 é bem mais realista. Enquanto o Dreamcast, mesmo sendo mais vibrante nas cores os reflexos de iluminação são completamente aleatórios e o carro não sofre influência das zonas claras e escuras do cenário, coisa que acontece bem no PS2

I think the Dreamcast has the edge here

It's the gal that sings super sonic racing!

Dreamcast was the best shenmue was fn mind blowing to me as a late teen when it came out

O mais emocionante esse foi o primeiro jogo de Dreamcast que eu vi no ano 2000 era lindo demais foi numa loja de games era só rico que tinha um game desses era muito mais que caro que um ps5 hoje

Dreamcast looks better.

Dreamcast

Dreamcast, Another Planet...

Dreamcast games always look so colorful. It makes me feel so happy and nostalgic.

Gostei da versão do Dreamcast, os efeitos nas luzes dos postes, estão sensacionais !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yellow Ring=Music to cover silence or copyright claimed tracks. Metropolis Street Racer another Dreamcast game. 1. I'll take the TXR2 Dreamcast controller layout over the TXRZ on PS2's layout. I prefer the Right trigger and analog setup. Not to mention those early PS2 Dual Shock 2 controllers have the pressure sensitive face buttons. 2. No auto licenses but the cars match their real world counterparts. Mazda RX-7 and Toyota AE86. Reminds me of the awesome battle in the Initial D manga. 3. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 at least seems more exciting with more road traffic. Zero on the other hand felt boring with mainly empty roads.

i felt confused for a second, MSR ost fills perfect with this game too 🤣

Dreamcast

Dreamcast version is much more attractive. I never can't shake off a feeling Dreamcast games always looked like a real arcade machine at home. Good performance, bright colors. In opposite, PS2 graphics looked grey, blurry and boring.

Dreamcast looks overall better with improved color saturation (PS2 looks very dull) AA, and cleaner ground textures. Now, the PS2 loading times is much better and I thought the FMV looked better on the PS2 as well, DC was abit grainy. The DC also sounds louder, not surprised as the Yamaha chip I think had additional 16 channels. Not sure what else advantage it had, but I've heard several DC games sound better than the PS2. Not much, but there's a difference. Besides the loading times, visually and from an audio perpective, I give it to the DC.

Dreamcast Crisp AF

Joguei muito a versao dreamcast e vc ganhava stickers para cada gangue que vencesse ate o chefe. Tinha tb chefes de zona e chefes secretos que apareciam de vez em.quando.em alguns traçados. Adorava esse jogo foi um dos jogos de corrida que mais joguei na vida junto com metropolis sr e super monaco gp

Dreamcast has better shift control and Graphic wise, you can feel the street of Tokyo through the console. Feel real for a 2000 console in USA.

My God, this game sure looks ugly as hell on PS2. One of the worst ports I've ever seen.

Mad how well the DC version stacks up. I do feel this console has to be one of the most underrated consoles of any gen. I do wonder what would have happened if they had some if the 3rd party support the PS2 had. Definitely miss my DC tho

The Dreamcast cars look glossy but better then that weird shim glam going on the ps2, tho the ps2 lighting is better when passing light to light. But the Dreamcast lamp lights with the tear drop look, look more real then the ps2 star looking lamp lights

Dreamcast is what it was advertised to be. It was so ahead of its time.

This really reminds me of how the PS2 engineers thought that anti-aliasing should never be a concept.

no car on the highway in PS2 version...

3D sólidos, sem serrilhados. Dreamcast wins!!!

Funny how colors are far better on Dreamcast... I wonder if it's because of the Kyro GPU... The only advantage of the PS2 version is drawn distance, but Dreamcast looks better in every other aspect, and has a far better frame rate as well.

I have purchase both at some point, now I only have the Superior Dreamcast version 😎

Dreamcast looks like Xbox. Playstation looks like N64.

La versión de Dreamcast luce superior , sobre todo en resolución y la cantidad de objetos en pantalla, la versión de PS2 ni siquiera tiene tráfico de otros vehículos, es bastante notoria la diferencia Dreamcast win

I played these games on Dreamcast so much back in the day

дримкаст как сериес Х а пс2 как сериес С. Если вы понимаете о чем я.И еще в версии дримки гораздо больше трафик на дороге а на соньке безлюдно и пусто

Dreamcast looks definitely better, maybe shorter draw distance, but everything else is much better.

My first time hearing the soundtrack and absolutely luv it😳🎵🎶

DC for the win. The saturation and the specular lighting on the models look much better. It looms much sharper as well. PS2 less saturated, blurry and softer looking. I loved this game. I use to own TXR 1 on Dreamcast. Thought that was the most immersive racing game ever after NFS.

it's just mme or the dreamcast version is far better??? o.O

So, both Saturn and Dreamcast could stand up to Sony when programmed correctly. It's a real shame that they didn't survive.

3:38 You messed up regarding something: On the PS2, you could have used the normal Quest mode to drive around, so people watching this can *actually see* that there’s cars on the road! I wonder why you decided to play in Free Run mode which doesn’t have cars on the road… 😅

My first Tuner Game that got me obsessed 🙏 wish crave was still around they definitely needa remake this hidden Gem

Dreamcast version look more "arcade kind" Better For me...

Nunca ouvi essas musicas no TXR2 no Dreamcast. É só na versão GD? Eu tenho o piratex em CD...

Dreamcast wins

Dreamcast I'm bias

Dreamcast has transparent windows, light reflections, better colour. PS2 has CGI cutscenes... Why does the PlayStation 2 version look like that? That's such a strange difference to have, it's like they made it for PlayStation then just upped the poly count for PS2 with no additional changes...

Zero and 2 aren't exactly the same game

I think i finally can figure out what are the main differences between Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 after so many years. Dreamcast have a very good resolution,colour production and display output which made the visuals so clean and eye popping on it. The PlayStation 2 have more special effects and higher polygon count that can allow it to create more complex and intricate enviroments in its games.

I'm glad u made this so people cab see what a real console look like

The overall image is sharper/cleaner with better colors on Dreamcast. The PS2 seems to have a bit more detailed and visible background and environments but the cars look softer and the colors and lighting are not nearly as nice to look at. The PS2 game has a much more "depressed" and "artificial" cg look to it with it's darker and more matte style coloring on the car. The Dreamcast has a nicer eye popping shiny reflectivity like you would expect from a clean car passing under highway street lights and the overall ambiance of it looks and feels closer to real night time city driving. Dreamcast game also has less "jaggies" aka better antialiasing along the edges of everything. The one lighting effect I find nicer on the PS2 release is the wispy trail tail light effect when the cars rear swerves around. However Dreamcast version has a similar effect but instead of from the car lights it's on all the street lights as they pass by overhead.

Tenho os dois jogos, não lembrava que no Dreamcast estava melhor, porém em jogo fico com dó PS2 por ter mais adversários, carros e tunagem

6:00 PlayStation 2 era potente, mas não nesse caso, versão do Dreamcast é muito superior, inclusive a resolução!

Dreamcast was WAY ahead of its time and was still better than the next gen consoles that came out.

Lighting is more realistic on ps2. The dc has reflections of non existent lights.
