If you were one of those lucky kids who had access to the Sega Channel in the mid-1990s, you legitimately have bragging rights as one of the coolest kids ever.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
I hope IX is still on the cards
Just a straight up remake which they expand a little bit nothing over ambitious
If IX dosent happen then VI and VIII will never be thought of.
What are they doing? Sales are falling and the costs are out of control. Big releases need to be absolute sales home runs now, and Final Fantasy sales have stagnated.
Now we know why Square didn’t fall over themselves to remake the original FF7 all these years ago. It certainly wasn’t a license to print money, at least not with what the expectations were. Each of these full on remakes drains an enormous amount of company resources for a razor thin profit margin.
I'm waiting for them to release the complete edition bundle, but it's definitely on my list.
Not rocket science. Compare sales numbers, development cycles, and budgets to the previous gens. We are all collectively burning up the industry from the inside out. Expectations are ludicrously high now for every release and sales are dropping for even the most prestigious of series.
We used to be satisfied paying $50-60 for a game that took 1/100th the budget and staff to make. Now gamers feel cheated if they have to pay the same for a game that took 100x the budget. We may be reaching the end of the line for this model of gaming.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.

Isn't any better or worse than any other shoe. Most of them are made in sweat shops no matter what logo they have
I'd be embarrassed wearing any clothing with a console sponsored brand unless is was 12 years old.
Puma the unofficial sneakers for the NYC Breakers from the movie Beat Street (1984)
Those were the suede ones like the burgundy ones with the fat shoe laces. If you were really nice you had the checker board laces done up. A pair of Lee or Guess jeans a BVD nylon T-shirt. Rocking some Gazelles and Kangol cap preferable the beaver fur.
Roc Steady Crew wanted to wear Adidas but was told must wear Pumas because they are funding the movie . Awesome time to be a teenager in the early 80's
. Cool thing about being in your 50s is we were there for the beginning of HIP HOP and Video games.
The Sega Channel was awesome. This takes me back.
Good video. I remember it but didn’t ever get to experience it. That’s what i loved about Sega, they were trying to always think outside of the box. The service was way ahead of its time, too bad the marketing for it wasn’t as strong, plus gaming in the 90s was still seen as nerdy so there wasn’t a huge interest in a service like that. To bad because it looked great.
Bring Sega back in place of xbox. Amen. 🙏
It's crazy really sega went from the mega modem (tele genisis) failing and a year later was ready to try online connectivity again with the sega channel.
It's both amazing and eye opening to the sega experience at the time I was a mega drive player with the 32x and mega cd (brought when they were at run out) and I think that had sega just kept working within the confines of the available base hardware the user base may have stuck with them through to the Saturn and Dreamcast but I remember feeling a bit burnt out by segas lack of commitment and jumping over to a PlayStation instead of a Saturn I don't think I'm alone there.
Crazy thing is I'm getting that same 32x feeling from my psVR2 actually a really good and fun peice of hardware screaming out for more quality games
I was there when the cable guy came to hook it up at my cousin house.
