Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Has A Secret (Sega Dreamcast 2) Platform

Sega will be milking the announcement of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for all its worth, doling out additional announcements and countdown clocks to drum up hedgehog hype. Perhaps the most interesting tease is the game's fourth platform. Sega's not revealing what that platform is for the time being, leading us to conclude only one thing: Dreamcast 2. Most likely releasing on 10/10/10.

this is a no-name site, with a misleading title and a rumor that's been floating around the internet for years with no credible materialization.

April 1st is still about 8 weeks away...try not to jump the gun next time

mikeslemonade5193d ago

Xbox 360 is the Sega Dreamcast of the generation. It makes no sense to have two systems that would be playing the same games.

SilentNegotiator5193d ago

...but SonicTheHedgeHog4.com is legit.

"Playstation Network, Xbox LIVE arcade, WiiWare, and ???"
I thought prehaps it was going to be PSP2 or DS2 at first, because the site made it sound like a new platform and not necessarily a new service. I figured they might have to hide the PSP2's release or something, until I saw the above quote on the official site.

I'm perplexed. If it's a whole new service that they're keeping secret, perhaps it IS a new SEGA console.

My guess: A cheap console made mostly to play low end 2D games, that they will actually release in the US (Unlike so many DD-only consoles in places like Brazil). SEGA SENTER (Center).

@Above
That you describe has already happened. Sega recently launched a new licenced 2D console/wii rip-off in japan.

NateNater5193d ago

The 4th platform is the iPhone. Its already been confirmed

colonel1795193d ago

the iPad.. I mean why not?

I am not sure if iPad games would run on the iPhone like iPhone games run on iPad, but it has a bigger screen, better resolution (i think) and is new... it would be good idea to appeal consumers to buy it...

grashopper5193d ago

Why would they release a console then make their first party titles multiplatform?

Smacktard5193d ago

Yeah, was wondering the same. What a crap site. Haven't thought this one out very well...

nogolis5193d ago

ahhahaha what a joke. Yeah, 10 months away from release of this new system and no R&D or PR to be seen anywhere. That's such a realistic outlook. God people can be really stupid.

Razasharpz5193d ago

Just STFU and appreciate that Sega is still around.

ChrisW5192d ago

Just to let you know, young whipper-snapper, Sega was a very formidable console maker in its heyday! And us oldschool gamers welcome such exciting news!

cyguration5193d ago

You shouldn't pull people's legs like that!

Some of us old-school gamers actually get excited with (fake) news like that :P

Why Monopolies In Gaming Must Not Be Allowed

As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.

thorstein4h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

Inverno1h ago

And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.

jwillj2k41m ago

Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.

Zenzuu26m ago

Monopolies shouldn't be allowed regardless. Not just for gaming.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies6h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken2h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6917h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker17h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6917h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt5h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken2h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
