Hookedcast #29 - Scares And Wares

Titles resonating from our lips this week are Dead Space 2 and F.E.A.R. 3. The main question is will Dead Space 2 really scare our moms, and will F.E.A.R. 3 actually scare a team of two, especially when one of them is a psychotic ghost?

Priest reveals how bad he is at fighting games, and Justin reveals that the world just loves dancing. SEGA 2011 titles also get reacted to, and we reveal what we really think about Microsoft adopting the Kinect for use on PC's.

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

What about the Yakuza series and Sonic?

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.

The Dreamcast was the biggest gamble and way ahead of its time.

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.

Deeeeznuuuts41d ago

I've always said this, would much prefer SEGA, such a shame.

blacktiger40d ago

this was all part of the plan to give Microsoft the spot

Would be interesting to see what they would do for a modern console.

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.

Profchaos41d ago

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.
