Sega’s Nagoshi discusses next-gen battle between Sony and Microsoft – “all-out war”

"Sega's Chief Creative Officer has begun discussing the next-generation of hardware, and it looks like his opinion is that the Wii U brings something very different. However, the real battle for next-generation will take place between Sony and Microsoft, and that's something that will benefit developers."

''Nintendo? Do you eat excrements?" (joking).

thereapersson4074d ago

This gen, both companies will pull out all the stops to get an advantage over the other. I hope it's like the SEGA / Nintendo war back in the 90's!

darthv724074d ago

we need SEGA to come out of retirement and step back into the ring.

I dont think that will happen any time soon. Not to mention that as much as i would like to see SEGA make another system, they just dont have the relations with 3rd parties like they once did.

They do have the industry respect and clout and slew of great back catalog titles that could be resurrected for next gen entertainment.

Whoever can convince them to develop new entries for streets of rage, toe jam and earl, even arcade releases like scud racer...could potentially win. Sony or MS could publish such releases to their platform advantage.

Or better yet, whichever platfrom can get Yu Suzuki to create a true Shenmue 3 will win. Hands down.

Do you remember the crazy advertisements lol

''Genesis does.. what NintenDONT''

Ah, they don't make 'em like they used to. ;)

007Bond4074d ago

Great to be neutral so I can talk trash about all consoles and their repetitive sequels.

I want Yakuza 6 on PS4 please

oh, and Yakuza 5 given a Western release.

Oh_Yeah4074d ago

I prefer Sleeping Dogs over both Shenmue & Yakuza.

tiffac0084074d ago

I would love to see Yakuza 5 localized and Yakuza 6 announced and maybe finally revive Shenmue too.

maniacmayhem4074d ago

So funny how Nintendo gets pushed to the side and is kind of looked at as Iceland in world war battle between two super powers, Sony/MS.

I hope/wish Nintendo does something awesome at E3 to get back their mojo and become relevant again.

I know they already are but it would be nice to see them in their SNES glory.

thereapersson4074d ago

Some SNES or N64-style relevance would be great!

miyamoto4074d ago

Cooking Mama is a game made by a genius. One of the most original game ever made.

Number-Nine4074d ago

dear sega,

make dreamcast 2.

:)

-Alpha4074d ago

Ah, to live the days of Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure, Toy Commander, and Power Stone again..

Cryptcuzz4074d ago

Yeah that was awesome. Don't forget the port of Soul Calibur 2 that was actually even better then the arcade release at the time.

That was insane on a console and how I loved it so...:(

HammadTheBeast4074d ago

What's the name of that Crazy Taxi song?

Starts in beginning like: "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah".

Dms20124074d ago

Remember MDK2 on the DC? Loved that game so much I gave it 4 playthroughs.

contradictory4074d ago

Dreamcast 2 will come in year 2019 and
actually is terminator

but don't worry being crushed by a robot that looks like Arnie
and is BC with every game ever made can't be that bad
it costs 99999999$ though
and literally will blow you away
or alternatively you can get the T-X limited edition and
that'll kinda blow you too... not in the same way though...

there. nothing intelligent said
the day is saved thanks to me!
i must be the protector of erf or something
yes, call me when erf is in peril...
i shall not be of any assistance to you at that time either!
woop woop wooop

Cryptcuzz4074d ago

Whoa buddy, I think you are lacking some serious sleep there staying up all day and night watching Terminator lol.

Cryptcuzz4074d ago

Link079, what are you talking about and why are you replying to me? Your post has no relevance to what I was talking about with another poster.

Lol you might have been confused or maybe lack serious sleep like the post right above mines. Oh if you're lacking serious sleep don't be watching The Terminator like the guy above me!!! Haha.

I am sure the Wii U will do fine, you need to take it easy there man.

N4g_null4073d ago

The ps4 and ms console are the next versions of the c64. Yet this gen ms has finally baited Sony into making pc games. Ms will win the highend once again since the real highend will be ummm pc gaming

While they do that nintendo will be doing their own thing and real gamers will be watching and waiting while the rest of the industry gets their dreamcast on. What really killed the dreamcast was a real console and pc gaming.

Just remember quake 3 came out on the dreamcast and pc. Every one bought it on the pc because we all know gpus go down in price almost yearly! Yet luckily that isn't going to matter with the wiiu since its price can drop also in a year or so.

Also lots of talent at retro did quake 3 maps and mods.

dalibor4074d ago

Well... Sega spelled backwards reads as Ages. In theory Sega will always be around and will one day make another system. Sega can never die... it will be around for ages

Microsoft Seemingly Closes Bethesda France

As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN11h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos8h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN1h ago

They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".

peppeaccardo3h ago

"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)

PassNextquestion13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger11h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto12h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos12h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long9h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel11h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator11h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg14h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos14h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola9h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
