Gamers often say there is no room for 4 console makers. Here it is...

What about a comeback from Sega ?

#UNREALISTIC SCENARIO
Fun poll

 

[Gudji]

I can confirm Dreamcast 2 is real.

 

[BossLackey]

I would love a Sega comeback.

It will never ever happen, but it's fun to think about.

 

[cireza]

Microsoft out ? So everybody is going to move on to Linux ? Amazing.

 

[Horseganador]

 

[violence]

The Xbox was basically the Dreamcast 2 because of this partnership.

 

[StueyDuck]

Stomach in, chest out

 

[Bartski]

why?

 

[killatopak]

I dunno about people who prefer western games but just Atlus games and Yakuza games is enough to entice me to buy a console.

 

[Fat Frog]

Exactly.
Leave console business to real game developpers, Mister Microsoft .

 

[Katatonic]

Poor Sega, constantly getting lumped in with Xbox.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Sure it'd be fun killing them again

 

[Stuart360]

I honestly think people are jumping the gun waaay too much with all these rumours lol.

 

[Oppoi]

Microsoft out ? So everybody is going to move on to Linux ? Amazing.

That would be amazing.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

Might as well start the cycle over again.

Master System / Xbox - No chance against the competition.
Genesis / 360 - Gained the next gen lead with a head start but lost it.
Saturn / One - Ruined by a single E3. $100 more than the PlayStation and needed to price cut multiple times yet the damage was already done with no chance to recover.
Dreamcast / Series X - Tried to turn things around after making multiple mistakes but was still not enough.

 

[OLED_Gamer]

Nah. I'd like to see Nintendo make a true home console if anything.

 

[Danjin44]

I would have no choice but to buy Saga console since most of Atlus games will be exlusive to Saga system.

 

[Fat Frog]

Sure it'd be fun killing them again

There was a friendly fire between Sega US and Sega of Japan and a tremendous debt...

Now, Sega of Japan is handling everything. (the new Sega West CEO is from Japan)

On top of that, Sega is shitting gold, two 90% MC in a week (Infinite Wealth is also million seller in a week... Shenmue's disaster is long long gone) and Sonic 3 is coming to theaters (plus Knuckles, Shadow's spin offs)

 

[Ribi]

sega cant even put out a good game and you expect them to put out a good console?

 

[Fat Frog]

It's a masturbation thread.
Sega nuts all know they won't have anything

I'd buy a SEGA console day one but still play their games on PC.

did you just give me an asset flip and a remake of a game developed in 2003

 

[Sonik]

Let it go my dude, Sega isn't even the same great company it used to be 20 years ago

 

[SEGAvangelist]

If Xbox has to die so Dreamcast 2 can live? Who wouldn't take that trade?

 

[bender]

 

[Fat Frog]

did you just give me an asset flip

You're talking about LAD Gaiden produced in one year(still a good game > you were talking bad games)

It's still a bad excuse.
Zelda TOTK has a looooot of asset flip and is still a good game. (5 years dev)

Infinite Wealth has more new assets than Zelda and is still a good game (with less dev time : 3 years...)


Give RGG Studio 5 years and you'll see

 

[Little Chicken]

I love Sega but they can barely make a good Sonic game, let alone manage hardware.

 

[SirTerry-T]

I'm betting on that Magnavox Odyssey revival.... aaaaany day now.

TOTK can get these stray too, thats an asset flip and is a 1.5. So by agreeing with me i can see you fully agree with me.

 

[Fat Frog]

LOL.
2004 is already Sega Sammy with many talent departures.

2024 is Sega Sammy + great western developpers + Atlus + new Sega of Japan studios handled by Sega veterans aaaaaand many talent comebacks:

Hajime Satomi's son, has given basically all power to veterans from the Sega Golden Era like Utsumi.(he is currently Sega West CEO and is leading Sega of Japan studios).

When a company has money again, Sega talents from the hey days are coming back.

Try again

 

[F31 Leopard]

Sega should come back. They have tons of IP's that could be Dreamcast 2 exclusive. Sega has a lot of multi platform IP's they can take away from Sony, Nintendo and MS that would warrant buying a Sega console. Infinite Wealth sold 1 mil and has a lot of buzz. Making Yakuza/Like a Dragon Dreamcast 2 exclusive alone would make it worth the purchase.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I can already play Yakuza and Sonic games on PC and other consoles. Why would I need a Sega console?

 

[skit_data]

I choose the fourth option.

Consoles are like garlic from the past.

 

[Fat Frog]

You changed the subject

You said:
"sega cant even put out a good game and you expect them to put out a good console?"

They are good games.

You could have said, it's always the same games...(i would agree)but you didn't.

And even in that case, it's changing with the return of the CEO from the golden era:

Many reboots have been announced...

 

[Fat Frog]

More than 50% want a new Sega console.

GAF

 

[Chuck Berry]

I dunno about people who prefer western games but just Atlus games and Yakuza games is enough to entice me to buy a console.

Spoken like a true weeb

 

[Mownoc]

Yes. It would be a train wreck and I've love to own it for the novelty.

 

[*Nightwing]

 

[Harkonnen]

Cant't vote, but count me in !
Buying a japanese Dreamcast a few months after launch is one of my greatest videogame memory.

 

[graywolf323]

only if there's a Skies of Arcadia remake at launch

 

[jm89]

Well we need somewhere where the ex sega fans soon to be xbox refugees can go to.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Japan console? Me buy

 

[Fat Frog]

Nah. I'd like to see Nintendo make a true home console if anything.

An under powered home console feat useless gimmick at full price ?

Nintendo: "Count on me"

Another powerful little box without bullshit at reasonable price ? (Like the gamecube)

Nintendo : "LOL"

 

[Bridges]

If it's the only place to play the next Yakuza/Like A Dragon then I'd have to be there.

Sega seems to have really found their footing again in recent years though so they really shouldn't tempt fate

 

[RoboFu]

No one is going to make another console now.

 

[winjer]

Windows CE was a disaster for the Dreamcast.
The performance and technical issues ruined several games. Most notably the port of Sega Rally 2.
It wasn't so much of feature, but more of a cancer inside the console.

 

[near]

I don't want to see Sega die twice in my lifetime. No, thanks.

Fortunately, PC is a safety bag for any console maker.

Only interested in God of War and not the entire PS5 library ?
PC...

Relative interest in Game Pass ?
PC game pass.

Sega wouldn't stop their PC ports, i guess they would like Sony and delay them to give their console an advantage.

I also remember the Dreamcast struggled in japan with no Final Fantasy...

In 2024, FFXV = 10 lillion units sold ww.
P5R = 8 million and 10 with the spin offs...(P5R is currently better than FF15 due to late multi platform...it could pass 10,5 or 11 million.)

Atlus is growing fast and Sega has goid relations with Capcom.Monster Hunter is now bigger than Final Fantasy.


Yeah...2024 Sega would without doubt, only with Atlus, do better than the Genesis, Dreamcast in japan and even the Saturn.

 

[AJUMP23]

What about bringing back the Turbographix.
