MonsterVine.com staff writer Zack Chase writes on why you should give SEGA a second chance.
SEGA has made a mistake on one of their PDF forms which has inadvertently disclosed full sales numbers of some of the company’s key software releases.
Don't forget they've put a lot of these on gamepass and ps plus so you can add that money to it. Good to see Sega going strong
Happy for sega ! I was expecting some kind of showing of their newer games at game fest but maybe they’re keeling it for TGS? Crazy taxi and jet set needs a trailer or something soon !!!
Release Phantasy Star 5, Shining force 4 or Skies of Arcadia 2 and look at the number after.
Today, Sega announced its financial results for the full fiscal year that started in April 2024 and ended in March 2025.
I like what's on their legacy IP list, but there are still many more franchises they could revive. Shining Force and Chakan come to mind.
"That’s not how you launch a system".
I wish we lived in the Alternate Timeline where Sega was still a dominant force in the console space and it hadn't been Microsoft.
Saturn was a fantastic piece of kit... they just went a little too ambitious with its dual CPU setup. which turned a lot of developers off (at the time). The homebrew community have done some amazing work many years later, thanks to multichip experience. It is still the best platform for arcade fighters and shmups of all time. Dreamcast is a close 2nd though.
Yeah it was a interesting decision especially when looking at how dual CPU is considered a root cause of why the Jaguar was a failure.
Also the hardware rendered four sided polygons where the standard was three if they kept with triangle polygons I feel the systems development would have been easier to work with and we would have seen more third party ports in the west.
I think it was a victim of its time more than anything it saw huge success in Japan but the leadership and internal turmoil in the west meant games were not getting localised along with a focus on arcade like games were the PlayStation and later the N64 were pushing more in depth experiences over coin munching high score driven games.
I still enjoy my Saturn it was the first console I mowed lawns for and saved up for to purchase. I went so far as to purchase a used Saturn to run off an SD card. I even have a second Dreamcast modded to run off an SD card as well.
Vanquish is the last game from Platinum, where will they get the hype from after that?
And why won't they bring the samurai Yakuza game? It actually looks great.
They also need to reboot Phantasy Star and Shining games, they used to be great franchises in the past, but mediocre sequel after mediocre sequel killed them off.
Way I see it they need better management…Badly.
Want me to worship Sega ? Bring back the succesful series like Streets of Rage, (and please don't make it like that recent Golden Axe, oh man what a waste !) and such games.
sega has been pretty good on the wii, at least with publishing
HOTD:OK
Conduit
MadWorld
Conduit 1 & 2
Sonic Colors
Ghost Squad
I will tell you why they suck. They make AAA games like Skies of Arcadia and Im having withdraws till this day. Oh and they didn't publish Armada 2. Sega, you fuckin suck a big one.
We got Yakuza 3 this year, and Yakuza 4 is coming to the US next year.
They're alright in my book.
