I love Sega, hell I own all of the excellent MD games on Steam. Yet if this is just more Genesis games than I won't be using it.

Sega has a pretty good track record about that, actually.

I remember for their first ever emulation collection, they hired the author of an existing emulator to work on it.

They did some similar in Sonic Classic Collection hiring Stephan Dittrich: http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_Classic_Collection

This is not SEGA directly it's a subsidiary and I've already mentioned how they wronged us.
Although maybe they are just not using our stuff...

Didn't see this, seems like this could be really shady.

Saturn and Dreamcast?


...Now you've got my attention.

 

[Vilix]

PSO Ep 1&2 for consoles then we'll talk.

That is a Gamecube and XBOX game

Dreamcast got PSO and PSO v.2

 

[Xbudz]

Sega should make an Android console that comes with a subscription to Sega Forever.

 

[AlteredBeast]

I'd buy it.

 

[Apparition]

So this mobile only? Hmm...

 

[Bogard]

So this mobile only? Hmm...

We know mobile is a big part of it if not "it" for now, but I am certainly hoping it can be the launchpad for something much greater.

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

Saturn and Dreamcast? Awesome, but this has to be for more than mobile. Hope there's more news confirming so soon.

 

[Grim Patron]

Better come to steam or GTFO

 

[cclittle]

So is this screen from Phantasy Star? Something else? Curious if anyone knows.

[Piston Hyundai]

the more this goes on the more I'm convinced it's a "we're listening to the fans, here's another Genesis compilation" thing

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

Seriously hope this is for more than mobile, otherwise it's a missed opportunity IMO. Sega Forever as a concept sounds potentially awesome, but it has to come to more than mobile.

Hope to see more details in the coming days.

Sega setting us up for major disappointment.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

emulated ports on mobile = meh

But if actual care went into a huge list of games from their entire history and was released on PC via subscription... I'd be into it.

Ok simple googling reveals that this is the end to Phantasy Star II. Guess that game is confirmed for whatever this thing is.

I have zero interest in mobile. They made a chu chu rocket HD on mobile only because fuck you I guess.

y'all really need to play Phantasy Star 2, its such a dark and lovely RPG

Sega should make an Android console that comes with a subscription to Sega Forever.

strong +1 here

 

[Shadoken]

I dont get it , are they actually going to port so many games from Saturn and Dreamcast to mobile/Consoles/PC??

Or its just be some streaming service like PS Now?

 

[Shadow2222]

SEGA made two of my favorite RPGs of all time - Phantasy Star 2 and Skies of Arcadia.

Phantasy Star 2 is amazing.

Ignoring whatever this service turns out to be - what's the best way to play PS2? I've always wanted to give it a shot - I've heard the story and setting is bonkers and supremely ambitious, which is right up my alley. Does it truly hold up even today?

For reference, my favorite RPGs ever would be FFIX and KOTOR - both because of their amazing worlds and stories.

 

[AmyS]

This is where the model 3 games will be

For me, that alone ^ would be the make or break for the service.

 

[retroman]

Sounds interesting, as long as it isn't only for mobile. If games from ALL their consoles and arcade releases will be available on this service, then this would be a dream come true.

Don't screw this up, Sega!

Nah the biggest fuck you was making all the Whitehead Sonic remakes other than Sonic CD mobile only.

What a goddamn waste that was.

 

[Floex]

After hearing about the iOS subscription I thought 'classic Sega' but now seeing Saturn AND Dreamcast they can't only be thinking for mobile right?

Yo. This sounds cool. Gonna Chromecast some stuff.

 

[Xbudz]

All launch games will be revealed within 24 hours!
