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 was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.
That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.
A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Actually there chance for a PlayStation portable successor. The reason that Vita support was drop is due to Andrew House decision and he believes the handheld market was dying which yes, it did effect sales but 3DS was able to overcome it and sold great enough, still selling well in the present. So Andrew House was very pessimistic and didn't try to improve marketing or listen to consumer ideas. John Kodera on the other hand is a new CEO who have experience with portable system and probably will give the system a chance, and takes notes from Nintendo and 3DS/Switch success. " Mr. Kodera joined Sony Corporation in 1992, where he was first assigned to planning and control within Sony’s portable audio business. In 1998 he was transferred to Sony Electronics Inc. in the U.S., where he was initially responsible for planning and control of various portable and mobile products, before subsequently being appointed VP of product management for IT products such as PCs."
I still buy plenty games for it,.. Wish it had a Souls type of experience (Something that I would be replaying for years) My mayor gripe is way overpriced memory cards, games,... L2/R2 and Sony not supporting it ( it is like an xbox lol)
Traded mine in for a SNES mini & I play that more than I did the Vita.
