That's what I thought. Which I why I don't understand why a band/fans can call the band Indie when they're signed to a record contract.
They wont release a new system yet. The Wii has died, so that is why Nintendo is making a new one. To keep there fans / side of the market alive... I mean, who likes the Wii? lol
It's too soon. Look at the 3DS :x If more companies jump ahead with new systems like Nintendo did there everything's gonna end up like the video game crash of 80's all over again, it feels like anyway.
To do what?? LOLOLOL SEGA is dead, any talent they once had has moved far away leaving the modern SEGA as a mere shell of itself. Most the games they publish nowdays are not exactly gaming gold, they have a habit of dragging past ip's out the grave & then somehow managing to fuck them right up. Samba & Nights come to mind.
Well said. But they CAN come back, if they do it right. I mean, lets say, SEGA hires 10 members from the ASSEMbler forums to make a new console. I think they would have a chance then, as everyone here knows what a SEGA console needs. I certainly know I have plans, drawings, sketches, 3D models and notes on what there console should do and look like. I would love to present it to them, but the CEO will just give me a free copy of Crazy Taxi for the 360 and push me out the door.
I respectfully disagree, and cite Yakuza and Phantasy Star as counter-examples. Sega's inhabiting a comfortable spot as a niche third-party developer, and they make money publishing titles from other hot developers. They also have a knack for earning big from tie-in properties (movies and the Olympics come to mind) that fund their projects that sit outside of the mainstream. No, it's not the cutting edge Sega of fifteen years ago, but in this age of DLC and yearly sports game updates nobody could play that role. With that said, I don't think any theoretical gaming crash would be an open opportunity for Sega to rise again in any sense. As long as they're in the black, there's really no need for them to reclaim that old position. Also, Sammy is notoriously risk-averse, and there's no incentive to get back into the hardware business as long as the console technology continues to converge (to the point that everybody will have a motion sensor, streaming video and two pissed-off competitors eyeing their patent lawyers.)
That would be a HORRIBLE idea. It's often thrown around at a wrestling forum I had. It almost always ends in the same thing. One persons favourite being ontop constantly and the rest of the roster sucking. Any ideas you probably have are terrible for business. The shit games make sonic look bad but sell alot.
i dont want a new console, i want better games. i dont care if they are pc ports or first person shooters or whatever the fuck. i just want better content. im tired of the self censorship, lack of polish, just mundane bullshit. im playing red dead redemption right now and while, i think at least, the scenery looks amazing the whole fucking game is boring and uninspired as shit. the story is shit, the dialog is shit, the game is just shit. playing for new outfits, or achievements, or some assorted worthless goal...its crap. storylines that go nowhere and die. theres no sense of exploration. your game sucks but you can download a fucking fedora for two dollars? developers cant be assed to provide any depth and im tired of it. the potential is always there for great video games, its just something or someone always manages to fuck it up...and it doesnt look like thats changing anytime soon. the only reason i have kept my xbox is because my friends like to get drunk and play carcassonne. sorry, im done.
Yea, games these days are all the same. Buggy engines with a shit story line. Should I mention Gears of War 1? That thing, was like a massive beta test scam! Gears 2 wasn't any better either...
BAD FRAMERATES must go first. Before we even begin to talk tackling the whole DLC and brown/gray shooter tack-in gameplay.
Thats all to do with the hardware mainly. Well programmed games can detect the FPS and remove say, 3D objects that are not needed (ammo on the floor etc) to increase it though.
