Disappointed to see Alpha Protocol is even less an RPG than ME. It's also got to annoy the shit out of Obsidian to see their publisher crap on their game less than a month before its release, and further cast them in the shadow of Bioware.

Well the game didn't really impress me at Gamescom. The demo I saw actually bored me.

So I guess no plans for some PSP emualtion

Why would they ever do that? :lol

5M wands WW seems at once way too many and way too few.

well put.

PSU2
Could do bundle at GameStop with PSP 30-35K units on UMD, Go, or both.

wat?!

PSU 2 or PSP 2?

If Sega puts PSP 2 on the PSP then what about all the subs on the 360?!

 

[Fatghost]

Sega still hasn't removed the document. The link in the OP turned into a direct download of the .doc file for me in Firefox :lol

 

[CoilShot]

Sonic Anniversary=Day one for me

Spoiler

if it comes out that is

 

[Returners]

Opportunity for PS3/PSP interoperability (see Eidos Batman, Army of Two, Assassin’s Creed for good examples).

Batman PSP?!

CANNOT BE QUOTED ENOUGH. BATMAN PSP?!?!?!

 

[Joey Fox]

lol

Whay wouldn't it work mang?

 

[FoneBone]

I'm surprised that Sega managed to leak only one unannounced game there (whatever Vanquish is). At least there's definitive word that Aliens:CM is still coming.

 

[EatChildren]

I wish they would 'leak' minutes of a meeting with Nintendo we can get confirmation on Overkill 2 / Virtua Cop revival.

 

[Fantasmo]

Awesome news!!!

fuck I just noticed I left the barn door open before I left for the park today

oh god where are all the horses

:lol

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

Do it. Shenmue and Yakuza series both on the PSN store? Maybe I should get another (pair of pants).

 

[the thoroughbred]

I can't imagine why anyone would be happy knowing that Sony removed BC, found a way to bring it back, but will only do so if you rebuy every game you wanted to play.

They might have this program, where if you send in your disc, they'll send you a download code.

It's Sony 'crapping on' AP, not Sega, and Obsidian has had this feedback for a while anyway. The public airing sucks, though, true.

 

[careful]

Wow at the leak... Some confidential stuff in there.

 

[AColdDay]

I wish they would 'leak' minutes of a meeting with Nintendo we can get confirmation on Overkill 2 / Virtua Cop revival.

I would kill to read the board minutes for a Nintendo meeting:

Zelda Wii
Discussions over whether Fire Temple bosses' weakpoint should be eye or glowing spot under belly.
Discussions of Ocarina promotional tie-in with Wii Music+

Earthbound
Brave new marketing exec mentions Earthbound possibilities outside Japan, citing ravenous consumer interest and is shouted down by executive management. Iwata throws a tomato at him and Reggie lifts him over his head. Exec is thrown out window.

Mario Party DSi
Funny face minigame used as major selling point in U.S ads.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Opportunity for PS3/PSP interoperability (see Eidos Batman, Army of Two, Assassin’s Creed for good examples).

BLAH BLAH BLAH

oh shit

would it just be a PSP Port or something different like the other two games mentioned?

 

[Host Samurai]

Well the game didn't really impress me at Gamescom. The demo I saw actually bored me.



Why would they ever do that? :lol

Why not? I am sure many people would buy games for it to play on the big screen tv. Also it expands the potential sales of games and and consoles if you can purchase the emulator. Nintendo did it every generation with Super Gameboy and the Gameboy Advance player.

Too bad no DS add on

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

oh shit

Batman PSP

would it just be a PSP Port or something different like the other two games mentioned?

Good spot. Sega shitting on everyone's secret party here XD

 

[manueldelalas]

There are still people hoping for the return of Shenmue??

 

[todahawk]

meh on the BC, I'd rather see HD remakes of ZOE2 & RE4

 

[Night_Trekker]

There are still people hoping for the return of Shenmue??

Screw right off, buddy.

 

[Josh7289]

There are still people hoping for the return of Shenmue??

Hope keeps it alive.

 

[rvy]

There's wishful thinking and then there's too good to be true. Releasing both Shenmue games and both Yakuza PS2 games through PSN is the latter.

 

[LiK]

There are still people hoping for the return of Shenmue??

why not? with the tech these days, Shenmue would be pretty awesome.

 

[BobTheFork]

There are still people hoping for the return of Shenmue??

Hell I'm still hoping for New episodes of Brisco County jr. Don't deny the hopeless our stupid dreams.

 

[squicken]

Sega is the one who has made this public. They are publishing it and let a candid evaluation slip out.

 

[EatChildren]

Shenmue 3 (Wii) announced.

 

[Night_Trekker]

Shenmue 3 (Wii) announced.

I'd play it and fucking love it.

 

[Meier]

This all sounds pretty wonderful. Crossing my fingers.

 

[rvy]

Shenmue 3 (Wii) announced.

Please, no.

 

[obaidr]

Shenmue 3 (Wii) announced.

i think He was Talking about the graphical possibilities and Not particulary the waggle. but since this is à joke post anyway, why am i responding at all? *_*

 

[AndyD]

Only 4-5 million remotes to be sold? Or do they mean in the first year?

 

[LiK]

Shenmue 3 (Wii) announced.

FU :lol

 

[batbeg]

Why would Sega even know about Batman PSP? Surely just a mistake.

 

[gofreak]

Only 4-5 million remotes to be sold? Or do they mean in the first year?

It'd be very good for one year, but might be conservative for lifetime sales. I'd guess fiscal year internal forecast since they don't normally go beyond that.

4-5m in year one I hope is doable, but will depend a lot on how much effort they put behind it from a marketing/game-bundling etc. POV.

 

[Kagari]

Way to go.

Seriously though, I'd love to see Dreamcast games on PSN.

 

[FoneBone]

Why would Sega even know about Batman PSP? Surely just a mistake.

Don't think so. Sounds more like the SCEA rep was using it as an example.

 

[Brobzoid]

Third Strike? Online? With my badass Saturn USB pad? ~

I really hope this PS2 PSN stuff pans out sooner rather than later. And with Sony first party games I'd hope they'll do some updating. (SotC locked framerate?*drool*)

 

[goomba]

Sega are such kiss and tell sluts...

 

[Daante]

Full PS2 games @ PSN with a reasonable pricing , togheter with some sort of firmware that makes the emulator run the games equally or better as the best PC emulators out there (if the ps3 could handle that ofc?)

BELIEVE

 

[H_Prestige]

oh well, was hoping sony would release general PS2 emulation even for a fee.

Did we pay an extra fee for ps1 emulation?

If Sony does have an emulator that can run "all" ps2 titles, we will be allowed to put in our discs and they will sell digital "ps2 classics" on the store. It's really that simple.

 

[DCharlie]

I'm glad Sony fans now like Dreamcast games at last!

Seriously though - this smells like fake.

But the PS2 port of 3S doesn't have online play.
And what does Sega have to do with it?

 

[Obsolete Observation]

PS3/PSP compatability for the DC games would be sweet, just like the ps1 classics. I'll be very excited for PS2 titles on PSN if they are compatible with the PSP2.

I'm interested to see what games will be included in that sonic anniversary collection that haven't been in a sonic collection before. The adventure games are likely, I'd like to see all the GBA games included, Sonic Pocket Adventure, and the Sonic Rivals games(if they have enough space). I doubt that $99 price tag sticks. They'd get grief for selling it for $60. $30 sounds better.

An import section would be very nice, and I like the pricing. If they go forward with it, it'll be a much better option than Play-Asia or other import sites.

Yeah, I think it's FY especially since they're targeting a spring launch (when their FY starts).

 

[Dragona Akehi]

So, is backwards compatibility important again? I need to know to keep my talking points straight.

 

[gofreak]

I'm glad Sony fans now like Dreamcast games at last!

Seriously though - this smells like fake.

I'm glad we can all come out of the Dreamcast-loving closet now :3

What makes you think fake though? And...how, even? Yes it's possible someone hacked sega's ftp site and uploaded this for larfs, but it's so full of incidental and mundane detail that it seems quite realisitic in portraying what such a meeting would be about.

 

[Pachael]

Shenmue 3 (Wii) announced.

At this point I don't care if they put it on the DS.

 

[A Twisty Fluken]

Only if it's download! It's conditional importance.
