What are all the old in-house SEGA developers doing now?

I miss old-school SEGA.

To be honest, I can't see how they've improved commercially other than producing Sonic spin-offs every five minutes.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
The awesome teams are making Virtua Tennis 3, Virtua Fighter 5, Yakuza 2, & Super Monkey Ball 3. And the rest are making crappy 3D Sonic games for Wii & 360/PS3.

Anyone else find the lack of internal SEGA R&D for Xbox 360 and PSP disconcerting? Granted they're trowing both a lot of outsourced support (mostly from western developers) but SEGA's internal teams seem squarely focused on PS2/PS3/DS/Wii. :/

Batteries the CRISIS!
Perhaps Sega is taking a stereotypical Japan-centric point of view about which systems are going to succeed. It's not like they're ignoring the 360, though -- PSU, a new Sonic game (no matter how shitty the art style) and Sega Rally Revo, c'mon. Plus that Sonic game for Live Arcade.

Judging from that list, i can safely assume that the Sonic title for Wii is the one that will rock, while the 360/ps3 is going to SUCK HARD.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Eternal Arcadia 2....where for art thou?
 
Hopefully Shining Wind comes to the US!

Sega will probably just publish alot of other peoples work for the 360 and, if the system continues to do well after the PS3, then they will port some stuff.

Well, I think we'll see SEGA's arcade ports for 360 come from Sumo mainly, while they're handled internally in Japan. Really beyond AC ports though, it's not like SEGA's got much coming for PS3 exclusively either... their dedicated consumer teams seem more focused on PS2/Wii actually.

looks like they decided who their winning teams are.

Anybody know anything about these Sega Toys games? And what is Sonic the Hedgehog Hi Speed for XBLA?
 
Lets hope that all this merging will fix the detiorating quality of SEGA's games. I'm eager to finally see a big name game that is entirely built after the last restructuring. This is time for Sammy to show it can make SEGA good again........or buy another games company to prop it up.lol
 
Lets give Jarrod a round of applause right now.
The best news on there

Banana Blitz is by the original team, and they've got some of their best guys making a light gun Wii game.

I'll give money, even handjobs to the men who make this stuff happen.

Sonic 1 w/spin dash and achievements.

Yes and yes. Hopefully Psy-Phi Wii is on the way. :)

They're still basically together (at least the core Sakura Taisen/Eternal Arcadia team), they make up SEGA General Entertainment Dept #2 now. Some staff (mainly Shinobi/Nightshade staff) went with the WOW guys to reform SEGA AM1 though.

They're handling the SEGA AGES Tetris ports too though I think. Plus arcade stuff obviously.

blah. they need to make some more arcade shinobi-ish games. ninja games for the hardcore!

Indeed. Last I heard, they were working on a Sonic 1 port. Online anything in Sonic 1?

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing Tails/Knuckles added to Sonic 1 with 3 player co-op and/or racing. It'd be a nice extra to set it apart from the million other Sonic 1 ports (a few of which even had the spin dash too).

Is there a possibility that SEGA may show or announce something new for PS3. 360 or/and Wii at TGS? Perhaps a new Panzer Dragoon or Streets of Rage?

If not, what are the chances of getting actual footage of the new Golden Axe or even Fifth Phantom Saga. I would like to think that SEGA still have something up their sleeve.

Edit - What are the chances that we'll see what Silicon Knights are doing for SEGA? Are they too busy with Too Human or are they large enough to do two next gen titles at once?

Those Sega styled games are what are missing from Xbox 360. It makes everything feel so empty... Microsoft needs to buy off some of those teams or just Sega Sammy Holdings in total. I need new Sega games and that PS3 or Sonic mentallity isn't going to cut it.

Most people who bought the others on Xbox naturally bought a 360... :-/
