DANGERMAN Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 I hope it pays off for them. Sega aren't what they were, not even close, but I'd rather they keep existing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 If there's a way to tank a company this would be great way to do it... but yeah, I'd prefer that they didn't even though I can't remember the last Sega game I bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Considering no single release other than GTA and Mario Kart could ever recoup those costs, I'd assume this will be some sort of ever-growing GAAS/social platform thing, not unlike what UbiSoft is planning for Assassin's Creed. Unfortunately, I also don't think SEGA can pull that off so the cynic in me reads this as "SEGA is going to file for bankruptcy in early 2027". Which would be a shame. Ever since the Dreamcast I've felt like they are their own worst enemy. Valkyria Chronicles for example is one of the best IPs nobody is talking about. Sonic is the very definition of a rollercoaster, quality-wise. Then they bring back fanservice stuff like Samba de Amigo and lock tracks from other SEGA games behind a DLC paywall. Etc. At least Yakuza seems to be cruising along just fine with a loyal fanbase, same for Atlus stuff. But you need to sell a lot of Persona spin-offs to make up for burning 800 million dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 It's been reported or communicated so weirdly. Like are all the games produced in this 5 year window "Super Games"? Are they doing a "Blast Processing" thing again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regemond Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 https://itrwrestling.com/news/sega-to-sponsor-major-chris-jericho-match-in-aew/ Only tenuously related (I assume it'll be more Yakuza than this super project), but I'm interested to see how wrestling company AEW work in a SEGA sponsorship for just one match.

DANGERMAN Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 New 3d Streets of Rage, new 3d Golden Axe (there might be more 3d ones than 2d now?), new Crazy Taxi, new Jet Set Radio, new Shinobi Jet Set and Shinobi look promising 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I know it's not the one that most people will be pining for but I really hope Golden Axe turns out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I'm also rooting for GA, that series deserves a good 3D outing. But that announcement was nuts. I expect most of it being relatively early in development, but whoever is in charge at SEGA probably opened a meeting at some point with the words "let's get our shit together". God I hope they don't mess those up and more importantly, I hope it pays off. They don't look Triple-A but none of them looked cheap either, so please let there be an audience for all these IPs in 2024 and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 new jsr and crazy taxi sounds great, hope they're good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 That trailer is wicked and has some of the best announcements but it’s just sat here in sega news lol. Why didn’t they make different trailers for each. I’m worried it’s because they look shoddy. I hope they’re all great. Can we get a Sega GT please next?

DANGERMAN Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Jet Set might be the new game, or because of at least. The others I don't think are likely to come back, outside of the Virtual Console or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Heard both jet set and crazy taxi are being developed by phantasy star team. The same team that works on games as a service division within sega. Those rumours of NFTs and Block chain may come to fruition yet. Time to Expect the Worst and Hope for the best. Dont fuck this up Sega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I think in the absolute worst case scenario we get at least a good Shinobi game out of these announcements. And looking back at what SEGA has done the last ten years, I think I'd still be okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Very tiny tidbit of new info in this marketing presentation (page 36): https://www.segasammy.co.jp/cms/wp-content/uploads/pdf/en/ir/management_meeting2023_e_day1.pdf Streets of Rage has Revolution as a subtitle, Gum confirmed for JSR as expected, a first look at the GA characters from the front (really cool designs IMO) and some key art for every game in the background, out of which Shinobi's is probably my favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 if we're going down the NFT theory, Jet Set on the Dreamcast let you create your own graffiti and save it to the VMU to use in game. NFT graffiti tags seem like they could have been a thing a year or so back. Surely though even Sega can see that horse has bolted, no one cares about them and no one liked them in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
