Tokyo Game Show 1999 - Ultimate Video (PS2 vs SEGA event!)
26Here's my final TGS Fall 1999 video. Everything I have from this TGS in one video with new restoration work - color correction, stabilization, higher bitrate upload, etc. SEE BELOW FOR CHAPTER/TIMECODE INFO AND WHY I'M SO SAD ABOUT YOUTUBE.
Tokyo Game Show, September 1999 -- this was my first ever trip to Japan, I was only 16, and the whole experience totally blew my mind -- especially I also got to visit Sega of Japan HQ and meet Yu Suzuki for the first time on this trip, which I will never forget. My site at the time, SegaWeb, was just over a year old and I still had no idea what I was doing; I had no professional AV equipment and simply borrowed by grandfather's Hi8 camcorder and hoped for the best!
This was a big showing for PS2 which was still 6 months from release in Japan at this point -- by this time I knew SegaWeb was going to become GamerWeb (multi-platform coverage) so PS2 was a big part of why I was there. But the excitement around Sega and Dreamcast during this period was simply off the charts -- Dreamcast had been out for a year in Japan, it had just launched in the US a week beforehand, and Shenmue was about 3 months from its Japanese release -- and accordingly was the biggest game at Sega's booth and probably at the whole show.
CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS:
Sorry, chapters still not working in timeline and YouTube point blank refuse to say why -- even though my channel qualifies and chapters do work at random, and none of YT's stock reasons for chapters not working apply (which they admit). It's total nonsense frankly; it makes longer videos like this a worse viewing experience, and makes me want to just not bother with YouTube altogether. In case it starts working though, here are the timecodes:
00:00 Intro
00:45 PlayStation 2
01:47 Sega Dreamcast
03:39 Gran Turismo 2000
07:23 Tekken Tag Tournament
11:21 The Bouncer
14:11 Dark Cloud
16:58 Shenmue
26:23 Dead or Alive 2
29:09 More Dreamcast games
36:45 More PS2 games
39:56 PS2 Prelaunch Promo
42:53 Outro
The PS2 promo sequence towards the end has had its music replaced to avoid copyright issues with the music Sony actually used, fully licensed for exhibition at the show I'm sure; the replacement music is Lei Stage BGM from Tekken Tag Tournament (Arcade) OST.
Intro and outro music in this video is from the awesome Virtua Fighter 3 Arranged OST (2021), as featured in Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown's / Virtua Fighter eSports' "Yakuza Series Collaboration Pack" DLC, and in the newly announced Virtua Fighter 3tb Online (2023 in Japan).
Several games shown in this video I've also made available as standalone videos, bundled with clips from other events for each game:
