E3 - Ecco the Dolphin on Dreamcast |
![]() |
![]() Back in the early nineties when Sega's Genesis/MegaDrive was enjoying the height of its success, Sega brought an unsuspecting audience what was to be one of their most original titles for the system. The orginal Ecco the Dolphin featured state of the art graphics and some truly engrossing exploration based gameplay. Now, with the death of the Saturn and the dawn of their 128-bit Dreamcast machine in the West, Sega's unexpected E3 announcement of a new Ecco the Dolphin title has heightened the antcipation for its new machine to an even higher plane. ![]() ![]() Developed by Appaloosa, the E3 demo displayed at the show was only 25% complete, and not in playable form. The good news is, that even at this early stage, Appaloosa's Dreamcast interpretation of this Genesis classic is already looking fantastic! Gloriously detailed ocean environments, coupled with some of the most realistic animation ever meant that even the demo turned its fair amount of heads during this year's E3. ![]() Here's a list of what Sega have announced will feature in the Dreamcast version of Ecco the Dolphin:
![]() Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Ecco the Dolphin for Dreamcast, is the fact that Sega have announced that the game will utilize VoiceAccord technology. VoiceAccord technology, the same technique that is to be used in the bizarre looking Seaman, is set to dramatically enhance the nature in which the player interacts with the game. The importance of this feature (details on how it will work are still a mystery) should not be underestimated. Look forward to Ecco the Dolphin on the Dreamcast towrds the end of the year at the earliest. More details as we get them. |
