    I dont think so: SEGA wouldnt give up such an appreciated franchise to another company. Obviously the fact that Prope may just be a "tied" 3rd partie (like Rare) means Naka has some power over the rights, so a el-crappo sequal isnt a possibility.

    Funny, most people applauds the new EA-like strategy from SEGA, while bashing the former "chasing the dream" attitude it had back in the hardware times.

    I think a lot of people are missing the point that Paulo made. He's barely moved out of Sega. This is a startup funded and published by them. If you're a publisher, surely it makes sense to let your licensees uses your franchises?

    That was my logic behind hoping Naka-san had the rights to NiGHTS.


    By "most people" I am assuming you mean game store employees, people who bought the PS1 over the Saturn and the PS2 over the Dreamcast, old school Nintendo fanboys, and Sega stockholders.

    well we are getting older and more redundant. Sega was christ. he may have resurected but I don't think he was able to push the giant rock from infront of the cave door.

    We're like the old guys, worshipping the 2600 programmers.

    MAN 2600 BASEBALL WAS THE BOMB

    Except it's now:

    TREASURE WAS THE SHIT HOME SLICE

    I dont think so, since we (to the contrary of both nintendo and atari fanboys) are able to talk about all the major mistakes SEGA did, while the others just try to minimize the reality of anything bad their companies did.

    Honestly I still have to see a rampant SEGA fanboy that defies logic like ninty and sony fanboys do.

    lol. but it's quite true if you think about it. when I read 'yeah man, played the atari 2600 last night and it was a blast' I'm like erm...
    and I can see someone making the same noise if they where to hear me talk about how dope playing Ghost Chaser on my Super Famicom last night was.
    I'll be 30 this year.
    when I was a kid that was ooooold.
    with respect to video games I must agree with this early analisis.

    No doubt they exists (the world is full of idiot fanatics) but my point is that while most ninty fanboys are just fanatics (ergo, they live in their own RDF) in the SEGA enviroment those are only a minority.

    Not really I am like the guy who is trying to escape the USA and cross the border to Mexico but that border is the Pacific Ocean and Mexico is pronounced Japan.

    As I like to call them The 4-Bit fanboys are playing the living daylights out the X-BOX while we are ramming Sega Saturn and SNES games on the Cube. Testing 1 2 3

    Hey, I thought this should be on front page news. I just bought these shirts so AWSOME, like trying to do a burn out in a mustang awsome, or blowing out your clutch doing 90mph awsome, or fear of spiders awsome...

    I would have spent well over 1k on these shirts, but I spent $1,100 USD per annum on starbucks.
    Did I tell you cats my warehouse is my mums basement?

    I think it's pretty clear it's an ex-member insulting assembler.

    Let me tell you something, (RIP Bid pay) just because I will not learn pay pal, doesn’t mean this is an ex member, that is just prune juice.
    I tell you the quality is worth it. My long shipping delays, sun faded items, broken items, not sending items, and when the buyer posts on the feedback forum I delete it, now that’s AWSOME (after the buyer waited 12 months oh wait *cough* I think im sick.

    P.S I like to thank you all for helping me buy my 360 with stand..ermm I mean VB license, you are all suckers, I mean this domain is your domain.
    P.P.S I hate spiders, did I tell you?

    I'm not sure if you're trying to be cryptic or if you normally talk like that, either way shape up and say what you've got to say clearly or don't bother saying anything.
