A new campaign called Project Dream points to the development of a Dreamcast 2, and the official website has a countdown timer that could lead to an official reveal. As for the Dreamcast 2's specs, the Project Dream page speculates that the system will be a PC/games console hybrid, and that it'll make use of x86 architecture while sporting a customized NVIDIA GTX 740 GPU, an Intel i5 4460 at 3.4GHz, and 8GB of DDR3 RAM to boot.
 
It's worth mentioning that SEGA hasn't officially announced the Dreamcast 2 hardware, and that the Project Dream website is more of a "what if" scenario than substantiated news.
 
However, Patrick Lawson, Project Dream's coordinator, does make a very compelling marketing strategy for SEGA, and breaks down each of his points and explains why it's plausible that SEGA should make a new Dreamcast. The company is definitely up to something, and Lawson points out that it does have the revenue to make this hardware gambit.

:confused

I like this. I was curious how other companie would handle their own steamboxes. It seems pretty clear that they're just harping on the Dreamcast name to help the thing sell itself.


Edit: read the whole article. Uh. Never mind.

Motherfuckers barely release games in territories other than their own these days and you think they can put out a console? :holeup

There are so many red flags over this whole thing and some people are still falling for it.  :neogaf

Maybe it's the new rebranding of constantly sinking Retro-VGS / Coleco Chameleon ?
