DualShockers writes, "It seems that whenever a film-to-game adaptation is made all gamers immediately cringe and write it off as a mindless cash grab. And while some titles have certainly done that in the past it seems that more recently developers have been trying their hardest to lose that stigma. Sega’s upcoming Captain America: Super Soldier is one of those titles that is set to break out of what’s expected from a movie game. We had a chance to catch up with the game’s writer Chris Gage who broke down the over arching story in the upcoming game as well as what we could look forward to when the game lands on store shelves. You can check out that full interview below. Justice!"
Sega announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year, which identifies the period between April and June 2023.
Well, it is understandable. Sonic Origins Plus is yet another compilation of older titles and probably the worse one yet because it's mostly adding a couple of GameGear games to the not-that-old original Sonic Origins. And the port/remaster of Entrie Oddysey are definitely cool, but the games were always niche and for $40 each, they are a tough sale.
I'm not surprised the sales were bad, both those games were going to be a hard sell, I wanted Entrian Oddysey, but to see it wasn't the "upgraded" versions, and that they wanted so much for older games, I really couldn't justify it. I'd pay $60/70 for the entire trilogy though.
SEGA is sitting on a pile of absolute gold in terms of games/series folks love(d) but they seem completely ignorant about WHAT and WHY folks love(d) these games.
It seems they only semi wake up about the popularity of their licenses after they allow fans of the series to resurrect them to their former glory, like Whitehead with the amazing Sonic Mania, and Dotemu/Guard Crush Games with Streets of Rage 4.
Sega just sitting on series Crazy Taxi, Virtua Tennis, Skies of Arcadia, Shinobi, Outrun, Golden Axe, Virtua Fighter, etc etc is just beyond ridiculous to me.
It seems they’re insecure/clueless about the potential their own library of IPs offers …
They really do have a gold mine in terms of IPs, there are rumors of a Skies of Arcadia remaster/port though, so hopefully that one actually happens, I'd buy day one just to support that game.
Sega should really tap into the saturn and dreamcast compilations. I'd but those.
Lol I mean U guys dropped Persona into gamepassLOL maybe next time dont the fact Persona 3,4,5 on xsx/pc only sold 637k less the a million for all 3 titles in SAD as hell.
Sonic is still at such an odd place and has an identity crisis. They only have Yakuza and the persona games I'm interested in. Please do a Sonic Adventure remake or new entry.
Looks like some fun.
SEGA today announced they will be at Cologne, Germany attending Gamescom 2023 on August 23 - 27, with a roster full of global first hands-on experiences for attendees and a host of great titles from across its diverse portfolio. SEGA will be in Hall 8 of the Koelnmesse.
That line up is dire. I expected so much more from SEGA. It almost kills me that they're a shadow in gaming now.
despite what you might think gamescom isn't that big to warrant showcasing new games that arent unknown. At least for sega it isn't. They still have tokyo game show to have stuff for which will be more important for them. After all they are a japanese company.
Good points. It used to be E3 was the reveal event and then Gamescom was a look for the European Press and market who could not go to E3 or a deeper dive. Just like for us how E3 was for the reveals and PAX West was for a closer look, more hands-on, etc
A whopping 272 page PDF of classified Sega of America documents from the mid-90s has simply materialized online.
This shh was on twitter for days now, surprised it took this long to be on here. Guess what everyone blaming Sony on there and they dont see how Sega shot themselves in the foot not Sony.
@mjchitown,
Sony isn't to blame for Sega's hardware problems. In fact, you can easily pin that more on Nintendo. And secondly, Sega's own management are to blame.
In case you don't know gaming history, the Nintendo "seal of quality" kept MANY games off the Sega Master System, Genesis, 32x, SegaCD, and Game Gear. As a result, Sega built HUGE debt as only the Genesis was profitable.
When the Saturn came out sure Playstation came on the scene, but so did the N64. And Sega's final system, the Dreamcast was profitable, but because of the MANY YEARS fighting Nintendo, the Dreamcast profit couldn't overtake Sega's debt.
There, I just gave you the short form version of a small bit of gaming history, you're welcome.
@BehindTheRows
He won't explain because he can't explain. Even Sega's own documents show the truth on the matter.
“In the email itself, Kalinske wrote: "We are killing Sony. In every [store in Japan], Saturn hardware is sold out and there are stacks of Playstation.“
We all see how that went.
Saturn was extremely popular in Japan but not so much in USA. They dropped the ball. I still loved my Saturn.
I miss Sega
They competed with making games but it just wasn’t enough outside Japan long term unfortunately.
I bought every console from just about every company that brought unique games.
I wish Sega and NEC aka TurboGrafx were still in the console business.
We need companies that want to keep consoles alive and make their own games on top of multiplats not get away from consoles and take games away from others for a play anywhere sub service.
Sadly my friend, you not only will get disagrees, but many will not know what that kind of variety is like, because it will never again be so. Not on a console capacity. Where business monopolies are growing, and entrepreneurship is shrinking. That idea is all but a relic.
It's a weird situation. As a fan of the character and as someone who's looking forward to the movie it makes me want a good game. The only thing is this is also coming from the same publisher as Iron Man 1 and 2 and we saw how those turned out.
Either way the combat does look pretty fun in this one, and It's nice to know they've got real marvel talent working on the writing. Let's see how this one plays out, but I'm definitely not holding my breath.
Love Captain America. Excited about this game. Awesome video!
