After a long silence, an unreleased Dreamcast game from Japanese studio Nextech has finally seen the light of day with footage surfacing online. This technical demo of Farnation, discovered after years of searching and speculation, reveals gameplay that was thought to have been lost for over two decades.
What potential impact might this game have had on Dreamcast’s legacy if it had been released? Imagine the possibilities that a fully developed MMO could bring to console gaming at its peak.
I’m confused, wasn’t PSO an MMO?
From the link
The reasons for Farnation’s cancellation are unknown. Rumors suggest that some SEGA executives were pointing out the many similarities with Phantasy Star Online in terms of gameplay experience.
Right, but I’m confused by OP’s question. They’re asking how the Dreamcast might have turned out if it’d had an MMO, but it did have an MMO.
PSO was released on the Dreamcast, and had an MMO component.
Not sure what this would have done different?
