SEGA FANS *blows steam out of nose*

“As far as the Western market goes, we learned a lot from Atlus,” continues Satomi. “If we can make a title with proper quality, I believe there’s a good chance for it to do well even in the West for players that like to play Japanese games.”

Next, Famitsu asks what are they’re looking to focus on more when it comes to home console games.

“I’ve been talking to the employees about how we should start putting serious consideration into quality from this point on,” responds Satomi. “Especially in North America and Europe, where it’s always been more of a focus on schedules, I believe that if we can’t maintain quality, it would be better to not release anything at all.” Satomi continues, “We did our best to build a relationship of mutual trust with older fans of Sega, but looking back, there’ve been some titles that have partially betrayed that [trust] in the past 10 years.”
“Sega in the ‘90s was known for its ‘brand, but after that, we’ve lost trust, and we were left with nothing but ‘reputation. For this reason, we’d like to win back the customers’ trust, and become a ‘brand,’ once again.”
Famitsu asks if it’s safe to expect a high quality title to be released sometime in the second half of this year.

“Since we’re seriously considering quality, I can’t make that promise for the time being, but I believe we will announce something for home console at Tokyo Game Show,” says Satomi.

HNNNNNNG

Make me believe again, Sega!

  Fine with me. Bring on the Persona fighter to PC, finally, Atlus/Arc/Sega.

finally i'll get to fuck that robot

I haven't bought a lot of their production recently but really the problem with Sega a few years ago had little to do with the actual quality of products (except maybe Sonic which really garnered a reputation for shoddy designs, and yeah it's kind of their flagship) as a developer or a publisher. My impression is that not unlike a lot of other major Japanese publisher, Sega has been hurt badly by the recess of arcades (the outlet for many of their household names) and the stagnating home market for consoles. If talent has bleed, I see it as a consequence of those rather than the cause. There's no more a lot of room to let their teams go wild on titles coming from the left field. I read a few times ago a paper that explained that mobile gaming already made more money for them than games on consoles and the physical sales don't amount for a lot in the end (6 millions discs in a year, IIRC, across all releases. For a company among the biggest in the business...).

[Himu]

All I want is a new Jet Set.

Never going to happen but I'm not going to act like I won't special fellow out worse than Himu if it somehow materializes

Spergin'?

I'd be twerkin'.

Hey Sega, guess what would be an easy start?  FUCKING PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 IN NORTH AMERICA/EUROPE. 

Sega arcade games.

[nachobro]

Add titty physics to VF6!

Actually, Sarah is in DOA now so I guess it doesn't really matter.

[Positive Touch]

if someone talks good about pso, I can only assume it's bc they were too lame to know about Diablo 2

[Human Snorenado]

Hey Sega, guess what would be an easy start?  FUCKING PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2 IN NORTH AMERICA/EUROPE. 

No. Not one more second wasted on that shitty Diablo clone. Give me a real PS5, for the love of fucking god.

[Tasty]

SEGA committed a sin. Disturbing the release cycle of HotD.

They disturbed the loife cycle!

[brob]

Add titty physics to VF6!

isn't dural made of jiggle metal in VF5 already?

[Kara]

I'm sure PSO2 is F2P , but : with this Diablo love. How many series are surpassed by the product of former employees and a bunch of Kiwis who think Diablo 2 was dark and mature.

PSO2 is never happening on our shores ever. There's an Eng version in SEA but calling its localization hot garbage is putting it generously. They renamed Forces to Wizards and it apparently only gets better from there. Taiwan (iirc) has their own server as well. If you want in go here http://arks-layer.com/ and patch your brains out. Virtually everything important is translated including the story and they've even figured out how to inject a dll into the game that translates items without setting off stupid gameguard. Plenty of gaijins on Ship 2 (including me ), JOIN US.

I'm sure PSO2 is F2P

[Himu]

I hear PSO2 is pretty banger. Gameplay looks fun and I don't even like PSO.

Titan Quest is great, but like, pretty much every other Diablo clone I've played is shit. Titan Quest was the only good one. Torchlight? Path of Exile It's really only Diablo or Titan Quest.

[Human Snorenado]

Grim Dawn has a lot of potential

spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's basically Titan Quest 2 tho, made by same people using a modified TQ engine

[close]

[Trent Dole]

People have said it's like DMC in space with waifus. I bet Diablo could eat my soul if I let it.

[Kara]

titan quest was better too

I need to give that another chance. It felt too Diablo in the beginning and I don't even think I got out of the first zone as a result. Also the aesthetic did nothing for me--not that Path of Exile is great in that regard either.

PoE combat and build freedom is piff (Image removed from quote.)

Not slow for my DEX glass cannon.

Because I die in any sustained combat.

[tiesto]

Nice to see another Japanese company finally waking up to the fact that there are plenty of westerners who appreciate their quality games. But considering who said this, I won't believe it until I see it...

That said, some of Sega's games they developed (Valkyria Chronicles, Sonic Generations, All Stars Racing Transformed, Binary Domain, the Yakuzas) and published (Resonance of Fate, Bayonetta, Vanquish) were damn good.

[Human Snorenado]

Ranged combat has always been "ok" and supposedly the new changes that are in beta right now really help melee, but anyone who plays the D3 engine and then the PoE engine and tries to claim that the PoE engine is better is fucking high and/or stupid. For a tiny NZ studio they've created a great game, but let's not kid ourselves here.

[Human Snorenado]

Torchlight is tier

[Himu]

Path of Exile

PoE combat and build freedom is piff (Image removed from quote.)

POE combat after Diablo 3 is like going from dark chocolate to fake ass milk chocolate. It's trash. You've been spoiled.

Not only that, the game looks like butt with absolute zero redeem aesthetic value.

Build freedom? I can't even get past the awful combat.

PoE ain't bad, homie, just fuckin with you

[Kara]

Letting the combat of a game where you just mouseclick repeatedly dictate your preferences seems to me rather missing the point. WRPGs are intravenous crunch hits and Diablo is megalol in that regard.

Someone hasn't played Diablo 3.

[Rufus]

The sugar is in the animations and sounds. There's no denying that D3 just feels better in that regard. PoE only comes close when you're shattering a group of frozen enemies. Everything else relies entirely on the screenshake that accompanies critical attacks. PoE with Blizzard resources would be so amazing.

Outrun 3?

Outrun 3? 

Marry me.

This will be our song:

Real talk, if Xbox One has Outrun 2 for backwards compat, I will buy a One.

Oh Outrun, I love you.

When you're a Sega fan you have to learn how to carry Ls, but AM2 becoming a Hatsune Miku studio was #struggle on an incomprehensible level.

Outrun 2 though



 


also, I'm gonna need M2 to finally give Outrunners a decent port on the 3DS

their work on Outrun and Super Hang-On are excellent

[Himu]

Did you ever play that Outrun game where you're running from the cops? I had it for game gear and it was hard as shit.

There's a PC version of Outrun 2006, but you can't buy it since the game was pulled due to Ferrari licensing.

[Himu]

Okay, you mean Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast. That is NOT Outrun 2, though it's often advertised as being so. But still, better than nothing!

You can't buy it on ps3 anymore either.
