sagat Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Say it ain't so guys or is it? According to this channel, all shall be officially revealed on 09/09/09 http://www.youtube.com/user/SegaNextGen
Letty Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I'm cynical. And even if it does come out, unless there's another Jet Set Radio, I'm not interested.
sagat Posted January 13, 2009 Author Posted January 13, 2009 Maybe it is thier comeback; never say never as they say;)
ShadowV7 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Doubt it. There's been rumours of a DC 2 for years now and saying it'll be announced in 8 months just doesn't seem too real.
sagat Posted January 13, 2009 Author Posted January 13, 2009 Let's see what happens on that date. The guy has been "spamming videos" so maybe he is right?
ShadowV7 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 If I made a video saying it would be revealed at E3, will you believe me? And from SEGAs game over the past few years, I don't think their quality of software can sustain it's hardware. Unless there was a Shenmue III
Ganepark32 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Sega have repeatedly said they won't be getting back into the hardware business so I really doubt they'd go against their better judgment as well as the fact there there is no room for 4 machines in the market.
Shino Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 The industry has grown way out of Sega's capabilities, I doubt they will ever make a comeback. I'm not even going to comment on the dude's youtube page.
Jimbob Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I doubt this is true somehow, even if these rumours did come true in September then i doubt anyone would buy it except the fanbase. If Sega released the Dreamcast originally at the beginning of last gen with the GC and PS2, then i think we would be looking at a DC2 by now.
Guest Jordan Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Look down at your crotch. There is more chance of you growing a second penis than Sega releasing a new games console. The chances are that slim.
Ganepark32 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 ^ lol. I don't know about that. Genetic engineering and stem cell research has come quite far now so it's not totally out of the question.
darksnowman Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I just wish they would make Chu Chu Rocket for Wiiware!
dwarf Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 They probably don't have the funds to create a new console that can compete on the graphics/multimedia front, and I very much developers would want to have to make games for another console. It won't happen.
Emerald Emblem Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 As soon as SEGA fell out of the console market the games began to get worse and worse, it would be nice if this was true so they'd have to make proper effort again. But as has been stated before, SEGA said they wouldn't go back into the Market.
tapedeck Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 In the current climate who would release a console lol. Surely it's bull.
Gizmo Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Because this is exactly the right economic time to pour millions into R&D, marketing, production and development in an ultra-high-risk product. Edit: Fuck you, Tapedeck, and your one minute faster post. Double Edit: Btw, I will shave my head bald, clip all my nails, sneeze up as much snot as possible, stick it all in a blender, drink it, film it, and post it on YouTube if this is true.
Columnar Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Nothing would warm my heart more than to see a new SEGA console but it just will not happen - there's more chance of a Mario game being a launch title for the Xbox 720 or whatever it will be called. And even if SEGA did ever release another console I don't think I could take seeing it butchered and abandoned like my precious little Dreamcast was:(
fex Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 If SEGA did release another console, they certainly wouldn't name it dreamcast 2. Unless SEGA competed directly against Nintendo, it would mean loosing money on hardware which im sure their not in a position to do. And they need to improve their software before even considering releasing some hardware. I wouldn't be surprised if SEGA are constantly analysing the market to see if releasing a console would be viable. But, it's very rare it will happen in the next 5/10 years
flameboy Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I'd say not...Sega are not the company they once were, I doubt they have the infrastructure in place to do it and now and feel they would be better placed in doing what they are doing now. They should continue to widen the portfolio of titles they have out in the market.
Wesley Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Sega ruined their hardware business. That was through bad business tactics. Sega ruined their name with their 3rd party games. That was through bad business tactics. It would be bad business sense for a company to release a console in this ecnomic climate and with the market place already crowded. Therefore, it may happen.
Daft Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 My mum's friend's daughter's ex-boyfriend's old room mate's pet dog's sister's owner's tour guide, from when he went to Japan, said the Dreamcast 2 is totally happening. BELIEVE!
ViPeR Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 They can barely make good games anymore let alone a console. No deal.
