Sega of America held a panel at MomoCon '14, and during their Q&A session they threw this slide up on the display monitors.

They could answer about Yakuza 5 LETS GO

Kyzer · May 25, 2014

Will be there ever be a Dreamcast 3!? Wat

baggagelizard · May 25, 2014

I should've gone to that panel. The Sega representatives at the convention were nice and seemed to be well-versed with the internet (and they were promoting Project Diva F as well!)

Blackage · May 25, 2014

It's Sega of America ...they can't answer any questions because their Japanese overlords don't deem them important enough to know!

Cade · May 25, 2014

but night trap really is getting a remake

Shenmue 3 confirmed

Pikawil · May 25, 2014

What about a "Shamu 3"? A whale on a quest for revenge!

SHAMU 3 CONFIRMED!!!1111!!1

TheDarkKnight774 · May 25, 2014

Ah but you can ask where the shenmue 1&2 HD ports are. Same with skies of Arcadia.

Eusis · May 25, 2014

So is it fair game if I ask if they prefer Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, or Super Nintendo?

ShockingAlberto · May 25, 2014

I like how they made a joke out of their own incompetence on PSO2

BinaryPork2737 · May 25, 2014

So we could ask where Shenmue 4 and 5 are as long as we don't mention Yu Suzuki.

Tobor · May 25, 2014

Why bother holding a panel?

Who cares about anything other than what's on that list?

Yesss, hope someone asked them about it.

It'll never come west.

They didn't even bother to add it to the list, there's no point in asking.

Soulflarz · May 25, 2014

I died at the sonic fan character one

Laws00 · May 25, 2014

So we can ask about the Yakuza games then?

Cbajd5 · May 25, 2014

Will there ever be a Dreamcast 5?

answer this

this is an answerable question

First thing I thought, too. SEGA is such a mess of a company these days. Ugh.

Pikawil · May 25, 2014

From the Twitter source:

Not the hyperbole!

Devilgunman · May 25, 2014

So they will answer every Yakuza question?

Crazy_Sunshine · May 25, 2014

Besides those questions, what can they actually answer?

ComputerMKII · May 25, 2014

Fuck you Sega. This is just mean.

Cbajd5 · May 25, 2014

Devilgunman said:

yes, but every answer will be "what's yakuza?"

Tizoc · May 25, 2014

They're hiding something I just freakin' know it.

Wario64 · May 25, 2014

Seems like a dumb slide even as a joke

Mesoian · May 25, 2014

Devilgunman said:

And while those tweets above are needlessly harsh, Sega is notoriously terrible when it comes to managing their beloved IP's and talking to the public about them. This should be a pretty open indication that a smaller scale game using said IP's is what people want to spend money on.

"WE HAVE A NEW LINE OF PACHINKO MACHINES READY FOR 2015!!! GET HYPED!!!"

The sad realization is they probably don't have anything terribly amazing planned. A few more safe PC ventures, a couple publishing deals with european studioes, and a bunch of japan only stuff. Sega will continue to be sega.

alfredofroylan · May 25, 2014

Are you going to make another Valkyria Chronicles for consoles?

Aaron Strife · May 25, 2014

Cbajd5 said:

Is that some PC game?

Ezalc · May 25, 2014

Good list Sega!

Village · May 25, 2014

lol at 5

I need to know how many times was the proposition presented to them.

K.Sabot · May 25, 2014

Yup, fuck them as per usual.

Shameful display.

Coxy · May 25, 2014

Well at least they know they're shit and useless. They listened to the fans!

but hey they can answer on Shenmue and Skies HD, tell us how you fucked that one up guys

Cbajd5 · May 25, 2014

Aaron Strife said:

i think it's the japanese mafia

sega has no criminal connections

quit insinuating that people

Laevateinn · May 25, 2014

I'm just going to assume they can't answer these because it will spoil E3. I can't wait until I get some Dreamcast 2 action.

Windforce · May 25, 2014

itshappeningisn't it.gif

Well, the fact they even acknowledge Shenmue in 3 questions is a good thing.

you Shenmue fans got it better than us Shining Force fans

"Valk-no, what is that? I'm sorry, I don't know what that is."

Green Wiggly · May 25, 2014

Damn, but I named him and everything =(

BTM · May 25, 2014

I would buy a Dreamcast 7

Zomba13 · May 25, 2014

We will not feature a green penis named Wiggly in our next Sonic game I'm afraid. He's too close in design to Sonic's new friend who we will reveal at E3.

kmax · May 25, 2014

Sega is a shit company with some great IP's. it's unfortunate that the company's so incompetent to do anything with pretty much any of them in the west.

Well they've been recovering fine so far, from a business stand point they ain't doing bad.
...but nope they're def. hiding something, unless you take into consideration that one time during an event or convention when a SEGA rep. said that Sonic was the original auto-runner game...

Augemitbutter · May 25, 2014

they must have forgotten about yakuza 5 and valkyria something.

at least we can all agree about that sonic one.

MichaelFassbender · May 25, 2014

Well I had a good chuckle. Good to see they have a sense of humor, even if some of the projects are behind by years (and trust you me, I want PSO2 more than anyone, it's the only MMO series I can stand).

RockTurtle · May 25, 2014

I would want them to answer about chromehounds!

FROM is a big name now, They can afford to re-release and ride the good will of FROM fame!

Prelude. · May 25, 2014

YAKUZA 5 CONFIRMED

C'mon Sega, you know it.

VariantX · May 25, 2014

So, there's essentially no reason to be there. Since those are the exact questions people want answered.

timetokill · May 25, 2014

If I worked for Sega, everyone somebody asked about or said "yakuza" I would say "gesundheit"

I mean, yeah they have something announced, but it's not something that will make Sega fans happy. We know it's not Yakuza, we know it's not PS02 (or maybe it is, relic is still hiring up for an MMO originating from japan), we know it's not Shenmue or Skies or Shinobi.

The two best rumors that I've heard thus far have been Sega teaming with Nintendo for Nintendo Vs Sega All Star Racing, and PS02 coming to america. Beyond that...::shrugs::

It's not like we're getting another Jet Set Radio, we're not.
