I hope your in the mood to read xD
There have been rumors of sega making a new console since shortly after the dreamcast was discontinued by Sega and all of those rumors led to disappointment. What makes these rumors any different? Ringedge when first heard was rumored to be a console and it turned out to be an arcade board. IDK what happend to ringwave or ringwide but i'm pretty sure they also arcade boards. I could understand the rumor though since the dreamcast was also based on an arcade board.
Enter segadrive A rumor that was here since 2010 from segaleaks! At first the name just confused me you had the Sony playstation, the Nintendo Wii, ... and the sega segadrive? Thats worse then saying the Microsoft Xbox 360
Sega consoles always tried to be the most advanced(not saturn though) And from what I heard the "segadrive" is supposed to be using raytracing and have more realistic graphics then anything we've seen before
compare the genesis to the NES and which do you think was technically better?
The Sega CD was one of the first CD based games! Game's wise (excluding sonic CD) It sucked but The technology was interesting.
the 32x was originally going to be called the sega neptune and be its own seperate console...AND THATS WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN! the sega CD addon looked good and it had a small charm but this just looked like some mushroom life support thing I think its games are better then the CD's games though.
now the saturn....It's a good console but it's wasted potential...and It makes me want a sonic X-treme remake so bad...games mostly came out for it in Japan and hearing sega say the saturn wasnt their future I just thought to myself wtf.
and now the sega dreamcast! the console we all love! For its time the graphics were amazing and even nowadays it still looks good to look at It was amazing to see sonic in his first TRUE 3d game! (this is definitely were the fanbase went downhill though.) It had some amazing games and the Dreamcast controller idea's would be passes on to the Xbox 1 controller and then the button, analog, and trigger design wise. and it would be passed on to the xbox 360.
The problems with the dreamcast though is that It probably started the obsession nowadays where people prefer graphics over gameplay and that It was released to at a bad time! maybe if the dreamcast had been around longer we would have seen more HD games that would rival the ps2 but probably not the xbox 1.
we've had the 9/9/09 rumor that sega would release the dreamcast 2 and look what that got! MOAR LIEZ!11!! I think MR.sega said something about sonic 4 e2 coming on sega's new console? the game started in development in late January 2011 I think. And zach morris or heneda said that sega wouldn't be working on a 20th anniversary sonic game instead working on the console...THE GAME WAS IN DEVELOPMENT SINCE VERY LATE 2008 or at least that's what's been rumored.
we haven't gotten a single shred of evidence from E3 that says sega's making a new console. I've also seen all of the patents like the supposed sega neptune(segadrive) controller which look's based off the saturn 3D controller. whenever there's a rumored sega hardware patent I always check
Will sega be making a new console for the wii u/xbox 720/PS4?
its a 70% no and a 30% yes chance to me.
How good is sega's reputation getting? nowadays there are people who hate him and sonic everywhere. Sega just started to get better in 2009 they still need some time ESPECIALLY with their mascot they need to wait a few more years to get a better rep. IGN posted an article about how binary domain and captain america are just bland. I can understand captain america but binary domain looks badass in my opinion...the game will probably suffer from cheesy dialogue though.
what games would come out on Sega's new console? Sega's game's cant be bad since their working on their own hardware so there is no excuse for them to not be good, but what would 3rd party developers do? more COD and madden? More bland cash ins? lolno do no want
Sega's games would be great though of course and Sega needs a good list of launch titles or soon to be released titles!
-sonic 4 episode 2
-A sonic game with colors/generations style gameplay
-A new nights
-Powerstone 3
-maybe a phantasy star 2 online port
-A new shinobi
-Billy hatcher
-Shemnue 3 but I REAAAAAAAALLY doubt that's ever going to come out Sega hardware or otherwise
-and so on
Something tells me sega WILL be releasing a new console in the game generation after the wiiU/xbox720/ps4 generation.
I'll eat my words if sega does release a console this gen though.
....and listen to Mr. Bison say "YEAUS!!! YEAUS!!" for an hour xD
Video games are like candy. In the old days of video games Atari 2600-Dreamcast you had all these different types of candy like candy corn, cupcakes, lollipops, gummy worms, tootsie rolls, and excetera...
but nowadays all you get is chocolate. JUST chocolate. They try to spice it up a bit by making chocolate into different things like M&M's and kit-kats but in the end you just miss the old days of CREATIVITY and get so pissed off when you see all these little kids/brats say how awesome the new stuff Is when they probably never seen the golden age. Occasionally someone releases a hidden JEM which is a bag of jolly ranchers but it just gets covered up with all the chocolate and the kids can live with that. Someone just needs to go to the chocolate factory, see willy wonka's greedy nephew and just scream to him "GET SOME CREATIVITY!!"
The kids wont except new candy cause they'll just through it away and get fatter and fatter on the chocolate. They wont except new ideas/things.
There's nothing wrong with chocolate it's just that we need to have more variety in everything. have chocolate once in a while but have more of the other stuff. (true story I havnt had candy corn in about a bit less then a decade XD)
