A Dream Reborn - Sega/Xbox TL

Not bad, thanks for remember about us
Ummm, even without DVD, Sony would have tactical advantage with the Hype of the PS1, thus would be a head to head war with SEGA...but again depend how butterflies flap, but that means the long term war Sony would take his option more offensive, I imagine they will use blu-ray as OTL--but not cell or the Nvidia RSX GPU(who was pretty shitty but the only one with Bluray decoding and videogame perfomance), ummm that would butterfly big the things?
What is the Big N doing? their old rivalty with Sega would make those push harder and DVD is a nice bonus for the gamecube..maybe early wii or the Wii Would be HD before the anaemic GC perfomance make them change their minds?
Some other thing of interest? how will be the Motion-HD generation now?

X-Net Launches To Much Fanfare
Bernie Solar and Bill Gates' joint venture in the video gaming industry has paid off significantly, with the Sega Dreamcast beating out her enemies with a sound combination of good graphics and powerful gaming. The X-Network was put on reservation for new Dreamcast gamers during the Christmas rush, and many have gotten their first taste of the future of video gaming when the X-Network went live earlier this week at a Midnight event in Los Angeles.
While so far the Dreamcast "net ready" library isn't too large, numbering only a hand full of games such as Dead or Alive, Soulcaliber and Quake III Arena being the only major net-ready franchises for the Dreamcast. However, that doesn't seem to matter. Records are showing that Half-Life has out-sold any other game in the market thus far, bringing Sega in the big bucks.
The X-Network supports up to 32 player online gaming. Many are disappointed at the lack of support for Halo, but this is just adding fuel to the fires of suspicion that Bungie, Sega and Microsoft are not that far off from the much anticipated sequel...

GameCube and PS2: Not living up to the hype?
Nintendo and Sony have been haunted by the spectre of Sega's sudden comeback in the gaming market. And one of the many effects of their failure to get market dominance in the Christmas 2000 rush has lead to many questioning if the Nintendo GameCube is living up to the hype expected of it. Ever since the end of 2000, sales for the GameCube have begun to taper off significantly. Despite games like Super Mario Sunshine, Nintendo has had a hard time selling their product.
In a similar vein, people are questioning the same of the PlayStation 2. The PlayStation 2 did not have network or DVD capabilities at launch, and it has lead to backlash as developers are now hardpressed to fit their games onto Sony's new console.
However, last week at a press conference, Sony announced that revised and upgraded versions of the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 would launch that October. Dubbed "PSOne" and "PSTwo", the PSOne had a much improved graphical chip and CD-ROM drive over the original PlayStation console, and is notable for having a lighter color, and being curved, rather than square.

Dubbed "PSOne" and "PSTwo", the PSOne had a much improved graphical chip and CD-ROM drive over the original PlayStation console, and is notable for having a lighter color, and being curved, rather than square.
The PSTwo, however, is a smaller, slimmer version of the PS2 console, and includes both native ethernet networking built into the console, and DVD capabilities. Many industry insiders are not impressed by Sony's laziness to get around to this, as they have lost significant profit as a result.
However, Sega Dreamcast sales are continuing to skyrocket, as more and more gamers log on to the X-Net. In May this year, a group of PC and Dreamcast gamers organized the Worldwide LAN Convention in Tampa, Florida. Over two thousand people crowded into the Tampa Convention Center and held a massive LAN tournament for Quake III Arena, between PC gamers and Sega gamers. The X-Net's interoperability has won it much praise amongst the PC and Sega communities.
In other gaming news, Duke Nukem Forever has been delayed again by it's developers, citing significant bugs plaguing the development process. The developer, 3D Realms, announced that it would be released "when it is done". There is no ETA on when that will be.
In further news, Black Isle Studios, developers of the FALLOUT series of games, has announced today that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after it's CEO admitted to fraud and embezzlement. Black Isle has opened the floor to developers to bid for it's franchises. Many Fallout fans are anxious to see who will be responsible for developing the long-waited Fallout 3, which Black Isle had been developing prior to announcing it's bankruptcy. A group of leakers on No Mutants Allowed announced that they had recieved an early tech demo of Fallout 3, codenamed "Van Buren" from a friend who worked at the company. Black Isle has not commented on the leak as of yet.

IT'S ALIVE, ITS ALIVE, this amazing(yes need to work but waiting to ramadan end and my headaches too)
Interesting but yet, even with a little slower lauch, with DVD and more raw power, people have zero excuse with GC and sony have a worse starting point, even with the haste redesing.
Still pretty good for sega, a x-dramcast with otl power and features is a killer both compaines will counter pretty soon but pretty nice so far

lol so is the POD Sega's executive board being wiped out in a plane crash or something? Because my understanding is that they suffered from deep, DEEP corporate incompetence and in order for them to win, you gotta unleash "What if Hitler was really really smart?" style Alien Space Bats.
I'm just waiting for Rockstar Games to show up ITTL...

First things first, I'm okay. I am overloaded with your emails asking me if I'm okay -- I live in Brooklyn; but I saw the entire event taking place, and I must say that, well, America will emerge from this stronger. President Gore's statement the day of the attacks will resonate with everyone, I'm sure. But with the death of Vice President Lieberman and the First Lady, as well as the 3,000 people in both World Trade Center towers and the 289 members of Congress who were killed; America will have a dark cloud hanging over her head for many of the coming days. God shall be with all of us.

October 11, 2001: Microsoft, Sega and NVIDIA announce their joint project; the DreamCard 3D, which allows for full 3D versions of Saturn and Dreamcast games on Windows Neptune PCs. There exists an older card that does this for 98, but is not official.
November 2001: 3dfx, struggling after losing the Sega Dreamcast project at Microsoft's urging, silently goes under, having lost the race. Voodoo users all over the world weep for the lost motherland.
December 2001: Patrick Leahy is nominated for the office of Vice President, and is approved by a comfortable margin.
2002: United States unleashes a relentless bombing campaign against Afghanistan, assassinates Osama bin Laden in a late night raid.

This is called "Project Unity" (or PPCEP), and is supported by... Microsoft of all people? PowerMac G5 users are unhappy because they bought into the project early, but they'll get over it. The iMac G5 is never made (released Aug. 2004 OTL), and thus, Apple averts the disaster of G5 computers that leads to Intel transition in 2006.

I just wanted to say that, first of all. Now to business.
After a lot of development, Microsoft has released Windows Neptune to the public today. After last week's awfully terrorist attack, many people are happy to get into the distraction of a new Microsoft operating system and the headaches and growing pains that come along
The operating system itself is a relatively nice one; the Watercolor theme gives Windows a certain flare it lacked back during the 98/2000 era, with the simple gray taskbar. The new Activity Centers feature lacks a certain... panache, and is rather clunky to use; but many of the multimedia features are truely amazing.
NVIDIA, Sega and Microsoft have released a press release that there will be a new project coming out for the PC in the coming weeks, so maybe we'll find out what that is. I've heard from industry insiders that it's something way big that has to do with the new DirectX Plus and Enhanced 3D Display Drivers (E3DD) that are packaged with the new operating system, truncating the old DirectX drivers, and the old Windows driver system.

This version of Windows is based on the NT operating system, not DOS, so be advised if you want to play, say, Leisure Suit Larry, or DOOM 2. It may run into some compatibility errors; so I would advise caution if you like doing stuff like that. Otherwise, I recommend the OS. It's worth it.

MICROSOFT, SEGA AND NVIDIA ANNOUNCE NEW EXPANSION CARD FOR PERSONAL COMPUTERS
If you're fortunate enough to be running Microsoft's newest Windows operating system, Neptune, today's press conference with Sega, Microsoft and NVIDIA has probably tickled you to the very core.
The new DreamCard 3D released as a joint venture is an expansion card designed to run Sega Saturn and Dreamcast games on your personal computer. This project dates back to the NVIDIA booth at E3 some years prior, showing Sega Saturn games that were improved under NVIDIA's graphics cards over the standard ones.
With the NVIDIA card being chosen at Microsoft's suggestion in the Sega/Microsoft Dreamcast, and the continued rumor mill about a theoretical project involving a much stronger Pentium processor and a GeForce graphics card, this project suddenly makes so much sense.
The DreamCard 3D will be able to play games directly from whatever platform CD-ROM you inserted into your drive. A 4x drive is required to access the games, however. The DreamCard 3D will use the on-board chipset, the latest in NVIDIA 3D technology, and Windows' optimizations, to bring the game to life.
Early hands-on demos show that the Dreamcast is continuing to slaughter her enemies on the field, as the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube struggle to play catch-up. The Atari Mach, however, is performing extremely well for the market it is focused on. Among younger persons and education markets, the Atari Mach is showing itself. However, Atari has remained uninterested in releasing a sequel to their sudden comeback, as they would prefer "collaborating with one of the big names".

BLACK ISLE GOES UNDER; FALLOUT 3 CANCELLED
As shocking as it was to many people yesterday, Black Isle Studios issued a press release announcing their application for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and the "cancellation" of all upcoming projects -- which includes the sequel to 1998's Fallout 2; Fallout 3.
Codenamed Van Buren, a tech demo of this game leaked two months ago showing the immense progress Black Isle has made in developing the game. However, with Black Isle declaring bankruptcy, many Fallout developers have left the company in annoyance for shortened wages, and other grievances.
While Black Isle retains ownership of the Fallout franchise, there are rumors floating that they are seeking to sell the rights to the game to many companies; some of these companies include Orbit Studios, a company formed by many veterans of the Fallout franchise; as well as Bethesda Softworks (developers of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind).
We here at No Mutants Allowed are... heartbroken at the loss of the sequel to a game that deserved it. The third Fallout game may come, but that day may not be for many, many years.

WINDOWS ODYSSEY (5.2.4110) GOES GOLD MASTER
The newest version of Windows, the successor to 2001's "Neptune", has hit gold master, and has leaked on OSBetaArchive. Analysis of the underlying DLLs and scripts in the system folder has indicated that, like Neptune beta, debug symbols exist for an unknown project "_dreamagain", which has PowerPC-based calls, not Intel. It is believed that this "Dream Again" project may be the successor to 2000's Dreamcast console, this time under Microsoft leadership.
Why they have replaced Intel with PowerPC on the debugging symbols for the successor is unknown as of yet, but we are excited to hear progress is being made, if this is what we think it is...

APPLE ABRUPTLY KILLS THE G5, ANNOUNCES NEW PROJECT "UNITY"; DEMOS OS X TIGER
At WWDC 2004 this year, many Apple fans got a shocking surprise when Steve Jobs announced that Apple would be killing the PowerMac and iMac G5 lines, stating that "the G5 was not what we, IBM or Motorola wanted", and continuing that because of the heat output and energy "sucking" of the G5, a laptop version could never be done.
He demonstrated a Pentium 4 laptop and showed how much heat it emitted, and said a G5 laptop would be "just as bad, if not worse, and that's not what Apple does."
He brought the IBM and Motorola CEO out onto stage and the three announced Project Unity, a new PowerPC project to base a new, more efficient processor off of the G4 AltiVec processors that we see in the Quicksilver Power Mac G4s, and the latest iBooks and PowerBooks. Jobs hailed it as a "better 64-bit platform, and something that was needed a long time ago for the Apple line," and that he had "some surprises coming up in the coming years once Unity continues to push onwards."
As well, the first beta versions of Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") were demoed, with all visitors being given a beta version. Jobs stated that Tiger would "still support the G5, but Apple wouldn't develop any software optimized for it". The conference marked an end to rumors that Apple was dissatisfied with PowerPC's inability to keep up with Intel products, and that they were considering transitioning.
An Apple insider stated that "Steve got really close to going to Intel, but a last minute intervention by IBM, Motorola and, well, surprisingly, Microsoft, kept the PowerPC processor going in the AIM alliance, which actually... well, I've spoken on too much."

Status Update!
I started my first day of university on the 24th; so in case you haven't noticed, updates are going to be something that may come far less, particularly with this timeline as I'm less inclined to throw shite at the wall to see what sticks; I want to write stuff that has some texture and weight to it.
That, as well, I'm trying to rise my writings on new foundations, so many things I have abandoned may see revivals and some work being done on them as well!
House of the Rising Sun, my Japanese America ISOT TL, has just had a minor update set in 1864, and soon we shall see the emergence of the Amerikanjin-German alliance, and the effects that it shall have on geopolitics in the late 19th, early 20th century. As well, what will these Americans do to Japan when the bakufu is overthrown? Time shall tell.
Peace Without Victors, my Germany-pulls-a-mulligan-in-WWI timeline which involves the mutual exhaustion of the Allies and Central Powers in a "US drags their feet with intervention" scenario, shall eventually see an update, or even a reboot/retooling! I really find interest in a post-WWI Imperial Germany scenario and want to write some stuff that may work properly with it.
The Shield of Liberty is super important to me because of the fact that it is by far my most popular timeline, and is perhaps quite original in that most ones based on Draka typically go quite the same direction as Draka, or are counter-Draka. I won a Turtledove for this one, I can't say I'll ever stop wanting to write this TL, even if it takes six reboots (but don't worry, I'm still working on this)
'Tis This Just A Dream is my poorly written Video Game/Computing TL where Microsoft and Sega co-develop the Dreamcast and their successors, and the Sony PlayStation gets a pretty good nut-tap from the MS-Sega domination. It was recently updated, and so it'll be awhile before it sees another.
And even some of my more minor/less relevant ones may see some love soon enough! I'm declaring the last quarter of 2015 to be my time to bring some life back to my writings, so stay tuned for more!
