Sega

Someone mentioned that the games industry is circular in nature. If that's the case, then think of Sega back before the start of the Master System days - they were concerntrating primarily on the arcade scene and doing some porting all of these games to just about every home system. That's where they seem to be now, so in five years or so we may see a return to form for Sega when they were at their prime during the days of the Mega Drive, Saturn, and Dreamcast.

It is depressing to see such a stellar bunch of developers be forced into producing mediocre titles, but hopefully that spark that made Sega such a force to begin with will return in time and financial security.

I love Sega but don't you think games like Golden Axe or Streets of Rage shouldn't be remade? They were brilliant in 2D but I don't think 3D can capture the vibrancy that 2D offered. Think Shinobi. What they should do is make new IP like JSR, or remake their old games, but only ones which work well and don't become bland generic 3D action games.

Dude, don't wan't to piss on your parade but JSR (as much as i love it) was a commercial failures. I'd love SEGA to continue to release orginal IP one after another, but those days are finished!
The average gamer love sequels, games they can feel familiar with and EA have shown this, Nintendo knew this from the off, and SEGA are just coming to terms with that.

I'd love SEGA to release their old IP like they are doing, create some brand awareness once again in SEGA. Re-lease, after release of past titles on current systems. It's cost effective and hopefully it will give them alittle more money to keep doing the things they do best.

Arcade games!!!


Oh, and hopefully some kind of conclusion to teH mue!!
