We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Thanks Phil and hope you have success with HoloLens.
I understand that Microsoft are taking the approach of providing third party software support for Vive and HTC via Windows10; but Phil saying that a closed system won't lead to faster content innovation is patently not true.
First party providers have always been the ones with the content that makes the most of a closed system, not third party providers. That is not to say that third parties don't innovate - they do. But by far the norm is that it is the first party studios that provide the best content for a system.
Personally I can't wait to see what Sony first party Studios are going to do with PSVR. I'm willing to bet that it is the first party studios that will provide the best content for the platform.
as a consumer i'm taking the same approach , let them figure this stuff out a bit before i dive in .
