The Sega Dreamcast Aesthetic

#Dreamcast #Sega #Y2K #VideoEssay #Nostalgia A video essay exploring the unique "Soft Future" aesthetic of the Sega Dreamcast. Made over 25 years after the release of the Dreamcast. In this video I talk about many Sega Dreamcast related topics, like the optimistic world of Sega Blue Sky Aesthetic, the experimental hardware of the Dreamcast VMU, and the specific visual styles of: Shenmue & Jet Set Radio Phantasy Star Online & Sonic Adventure Crazy Taxi, Resident Evil Code Veronica, and more. I also examine how the Dreamcast bridges the gap between the Y2K Aesthetic and the early origins of Frutiger Aero.
