Wait a sec. I thought they were in development for a next gen sonic game?

 

[SSReborn]

So um

Atlus...?

...

 

[Andrefpvs]

What does this mean for Atlus?

Whoa don't do this to my heart

 

[Foshy]

I guess/hope Atlus isn't impacted by this.

what about yakuza?

 

[Bam Chowder]

It felt like a punch in the stomach reading that title I was just thinking about the potential of a new Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed on PS4 yesterday

 

[shwimpy]

Sell Yakuza to Sony for the love of God.

 

[Parakeetman]

Talk about a dumbass move.

"cutting off the nose to spite the face"

 

[TimmiT]

Isn't this the same old news that was misreported as SEGA leaving the console business and focussing more on mobile and PC?

 

[SteveWinwood]

this is totally what we heard weeks ago isnt it

 

[jconsolmagno]

Well then they won't be getting $$$ from me anymore. But what about Atlus?

 

[Nyoro SF]

If they focus their entire library on PC that's fine by me.

 

[Dsyndrome]

No fucking way... mobile and PC but no consoles? Why???

 

[De_Legend]

It will be on PC

Spoiler

probably dead

No.

 

[Producer]

isnt this pretty much the same news as that of a few weeks ago?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Well, so much for okami 2...

 

[GulAtiCa]

For a second I read the title and thought this was a decades old thread that was bumped about how Dreamcast died and Sega was getting out of the platfom maker area.

Still, damn Sega.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

No, they're not.

 

[Tizoc]

Don't we already have a thread about this?

 

[Arcanine55]

Good, I prefer that rather than the new Sonic games.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Ugh....I really hate mobile and what it has done to this industry.

 

[ArchedThunder]

We already knew this and they aren't leaving consoles, they are just shifting most of their resources to pc and mobile.

 

[cirrhosis]

Damn, Shenmue 3 really is dead.

 

[oti]

Are there any other sources reporting this?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Y'all should have bought their games. Their good ones never got the sales they needed.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

So I'm following the link chain and isn't this just a reference to their restructure from several weeks ago?

yes.

 

[James Scott]

Isn't this old? I'm pretty sure i saw this here like a month ago or less

 

[JehutyRunner]

Wasn't this already implied when their financials came out a few weeks back? Is this official confirmation?

EDIT: Just as I thought, deja vu.

 

[JaseC]

Sega announced this a month ago.

 

[PAULINK]

WUT

 

[jesu]

So I'm following the link chain and isn't this just a reference to their restructure from several weeks ago?

Yeah, this isn't new news.

 

[FonkyByNature]

I hope they at least sell their IPs like Virtua Fighter, Daytona, Sonic and many others.

This world needs another Virtua Fighter !!!

Man, i can't believe one of my favourite videogames company is gone.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

This is a late-to-the-party article with nothing new to add to what Sega already announced earlier. Note that the author writes "seems" because they don't have any new facts.

 

[Corpekata]

Wasn't this announced like 2 weeks ago? This article seems to be saying almost the exact same thing with no real new developments as far as I can see.

 

[GameE]

Old

+ that site is exaggerating things a little.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Fuck sake, Yakuza, Valkyria Chronicles and Atlus

Well, VC was just put on Steam a few months back at least.

 

[Acquiescence]

Damn, Shenmue 3 really is dead.

We need a publisher to buy the IP. It's not like Sega is ever going to do anything with it ever again.

 

[Koppai]

Hopefully Atlus survives.

 

[stargateheaven]

This is a bad move..

why dont they ADD mobile and PC.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

So I'm following the link chain and isn't this just a reference to their restructure from several weeks ago?

Precisely.

This is old, inaccurate and hyperbolic.

[Serianox]

So when they say pc games do they mean the more tradicional ones or just online/f2p?

 

[Ominym]

Woah, that's pretty surprising. Figured they'd fight it out till they shut the doors.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Eh... They dug their own grave. I'm not upset.

 

[Kriken]

So I'm following the link chain and isn't this just a reference to their restructure from several weeks ago?

That's what I thought, I thought they already announced their intentions of leaving the console gaming market a few weeks ago

Edit: already moved

 

[Makonero]

Well at least the Sonic Cycle is over...

...right?

 

[YoYo Switch]

What the fuck.

I actually teared up at this.

I'm so devastated. I love Sega.

Precisely.

This is old, inaccurate and hyperbolic.

o nvm

 

[HonMirin]

The day gaming died?

But seriously, this is painful to hear. Sega has an amazing catalogue of ips, and to see them collecting dust whilst they blindly focus on peddling (mostly) rubbish to mobiles...

Man, it really is a sad day.

 

[orochi91]

ATLUS? Yakuza? Sonic?

What's gonna happen to those?

Sony save us D:

 

[Azure J]

Seriously speaking... What does this mean for Sonic games?

I've pretty much given up on ever seeing Dreamcast era titles getting revisited in any proper manner (Jet Set ;______ but does this mean we'll never get a Sonic title that proves the concept's worth or will it just happen on PC?

 

[Chao]

Holy fucking shit.

Can't believe what I'm reading. This really is the end for Sega.

So sad to see, it's like watching someone you love die a slow, painful death. This has to be the terminal stage.

This news really ruined my day.

 

[Leafhopper]

Uhh, holy shit, like for real this time?
Damn, well that ruined my day.

Sega announced this a month ago.

"focusing" isn't quitting though.

EDIT: Then again it seems like it was a long time coming.
