It's crazy that this thread is still going. People really don't know what kind of crazy shit MS will do next.

 

[MAtgS]

Far be it from me to point out the bloody obvious, but shouldn't the 3rd color be RED instead of black if it were actually Sonic related?

 

[D.Final]

The Phil mobile

 

[Stiflers Mom]

what a difference

Yeah, Xbox won't have any games, I am sure.

 

[Birdo]

It's Wednesday. Where is it?

 

[M1chl]

It's Wednesday. Where is it?

It's still like 20 hours away, however MS is opening TGS, which I guess is unusual.

 

[Birdo]

Okay

 

[DarkBatman]

It's Wednesday. Where is it?

Will be announced with Silent Hill and MGS Remake the second you decide to look away from the screen.
(Honestly, the TGS opening show is tomorrow, followed by the MS showcase, the "leaker" even got the timing wrong.)

 

[Stiflers Mom]

To be honest, I just want a new Sega branded console, even if it's just an Xbox.

For that, I accept the world burning. And so should you.

Sega Series X or we riot

 

[Kindjal]

Almost certain this is just someone making up random bullshit, but a Sega acquisition might actually get me to switch. Persona and Yakuza are 2 of the main reasons I stick with Sony. If they were to become Xbox exclusives I'd really only be sticking around for Spider-man and God of War, and I don't know if I can justify a console buy on that.

I think I'd be on the same boat... I'd probably end up buying both consoles, but I'd make Series X my main. This gen I bought an XOne when Forza 6 came out and I've barely used it, except for Forza Horizon, Sunset Overdrive or some Xbox Live Arcade games like Daytona USA or Guardian Heroes.

 

[Hudo]

You know what? If it takes Microsoft's Burgerbucks to get a Panzer Dragon Saga Remake or Panzer Dragoon Saga 2, I am willing to accept this.

 

[Enjay]

Damn did they get gypped. Also Krusty the Klown interview gif: why now, why not 20 years ago?

 

[thelastword]

Did this happen yet, are we expecting an announcement later today at TGS?

 

[cireza]

We got the new blue controller, they just have to announce the console that goes with it.

 

[I'm nobody]

Shock blue nice colour

 

[ResilientBanana]

Sega doesn't seem like a great purchase.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Im not getting all the fear and anxiety.
If youre a fan of Sega, you should already own an og Xbox, 360, and XB1 (they finally made PSO2 happen).
Each xbox has cant miss Sega exclusives. They have a history with each other.

[Sethbacca]

Sega would be a big get if only for the name let alone the properties. There is a lot of nostalgia for the brand from when they were in the hardware game especially amongst us older gamers from the early console wars.

 

[Derktron]

The anxiety comes from dweebs who think Sega = Atlus and Yakuza only and ignore (or do not know) the whole history of the company. They're like 2000's emo Green Day fans who never heard of Dookie and think Green Day are actually emo and new. lol

Damn, was hoping Nintendo would buy Sega as the true closing to the 16-bit war.

Though MS doing it makes a lot of sense, when you have no footing at all in Japan, go for someone who does.

 

[Crew 511A]

If Microsoft buys Sega, nothing will change for Shining Force. It's not a money issue since Takahashi brothers, Camelot were not historical part of Sega. Sure, they worked at Sega for a few years but they were in the first place from Enix and worked longer with Nintendo.(they had a argument with old Sega) They even have exclusivity contracts with them.
Working with Camelot again will Be complicated.

Hopefuly, there are tons of new projects regarding the old franchises (Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder is coming back, duuuuude), so enjoy them but put your expectations low for Shining Force.(the other developper of the franchise, Climax, is Dead. Like the illustrator of Camelot/Shining Force 3. As you Can see, even if Sega would find good staff in house for a sequel, it wouldn't be the same without Climax, Camelot or the dead developers)

I'd settle for an English port of SF3 trilogy. I know they supposedly lost the source code, but couldn't they just grab a ROM off the internet like Nintendo allegedly did and work backwards? Maybe I'm way off base here. Or they could just make a new SF game in the play style of the old ones.

If they really wanted some low hanging fruit, take all the games on the Arcade Mini, and them onto a compilation for current consoles. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

 

[Saber]

Lol, some of you could moderate in the level of drama.

So how would this work exactly? MS buys Sega for like 3 billion and then infuses another couple billion into the company spread amongst developers to start bringing back beloved franchises from the dead? Virtua Fighter/Golden Axe/Burning Rangers/Daytona/Panzer Dragoon/Jet Set Radio/Phantasy Star/Skies of Arcadia/Etc?

Or they could do the same they did with Rare's Conker and Banjo Kazooie. Do nothing and let them be forgotten.

9/25 is the Sega showase at TGS, the MS showcase and opening is on 9/24, the day we are supposed to hear about an acquisition (although the leaker told us it'll happen today).
How are the stars alining?

This was an entertaining "What if" thread, and it was amusing watching people get all riled up, but it's time to stick a fork in this one. This rumor pops up every so often. This time around we've got photoshopped controller boxes, and social media posts that are really reaching. Maybe E3 2021 will be the big one.

to many coincidence for there to be nothing going down.

now I don’t think sega for sure will be purchased but maybe it’s a game pass deal or something similar.

Coincidences? That sega and Xbox are presenting at the same conference? And a game is being released on the same day S the sega conference?

guess what. The conference is going to be super boring.

sonic Xbox controller (and wording of the tweet)

Lots of sega games already on game pass

 

[lock2k]

I truly don't think anything will happen but I hope it happens someday because they meltdowns will be more epic than the eternal ice melting in Antarctica.

 

[ExKing]

I think at minimum, it's a partnership for Gamepass EA style.

Blue Xbox controller - the wording of the tweet was dumb. If it was called SONIC BLUE I’d think you had something.

The lady with her arms in an x shape? And the green drinks tweet from august?

Sega games on game pass? I have a feeling that’s what it’s all about if anything...

hope I’m wrong, would love to see the salt from everyone, but yeah...

Most of Sega's stuff is already on Gamespass, or was given away altogether on GWG.

Sadly the twitter pic that compared the controller blue and the Sega logo blue was fake, other comparisons clearly show it's a different colour.

Edit: "Fake" is wrong word, BS is better.
