The turnaround under CEO Kaz Hirai is taking shape, and the recent box-office boost from Spidey is icing on the cake.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
Kaz is running a tight ship. He was groomed and is a great successor for running Sony. Hope to see the company continue to design and release innovative products instead of watching other companies release products that Sony should have capitalized on but were too slow to move under previous leadership.
Also good to see PS4 adding to their winning strategy. Would like to see them use their leading sensor technology and their software companies like Softkinetic, in improving PSVR interaction and making gaming in VR even better than it already is.
Kaz Hirai's leadership is truly Sony's saving grace
Curious to see last quarter results, Kaz made Sony Great Again!
Great work. As a kid of the 80s growing up with Walkmans and Trinitron tv's it's good to see this turn around. Sony has always stood for quality so while they might not be the cheapest they are always up there with the best and I hope there is always a place for them.
Good read, except for this. "last year, the failure of Ghostbusters was a big shock to everyone," It was a shock to no one. I'm glad it failed. Don't do that again. Nearly everything else, stay the course Kaz, you're doing super.
