Dropping out of the hardware race back in 2001 with the Dreamcast, SEGA has struggled to recapture the glory of the 80’s and 90’s for the last 16 years. Corporate reduction, shutting down several first party studios, misuse of the Sonic franchise, oversaturation in the mobile market, and a general lack of focus are just some of the many offsets that have plagued it for the last decade and a half. However, the company has its best chance to finally make a comeback this year.
Another leaker has claimed that a PSP/PS Vita style PlayStation handheld is in the works, and it'll supposedly support PS4 games.
If you had every PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and PSV game then sure but I mean if it's just the PS4 why not just get a Steam Deck?
I still play my vita. The oled screen was too good for it's time. I obviously had to home brew it but playing my old snes/ps1 games on it is so good.
How many people will buy this at launch? As a Vita owner, I'd definitely hold back after how Sony's support for that turned out.
Also, PSP played near PS2 quality games, PS Vita played near PS3 quality games, shouldn't the next Playstation handheld be aiming for near PS5 quality?
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
Bungie veteran and current CTO, Luis Villegas, has left the company after fourteen years and has joined Sony PlayStation as its new Head of Technology.
"I feel incredibly lucky because as part of my new role I get to still work closely with my Bungie family."
New role and more pay and still can work closely with Bungie
Yakuza! Thanks, Sega!
sega is dead
It will be the year or Sega when mainstream Media will stop pouting Sega games and give them proper coverage and grades.
Sonics always get the gold old Genesis time when Sonic games were good but they always forget the high mark they gave for: all 2d Sonics on GBA and NDS, Sonic Heroes, Sonic 4 and Generation.
Alien Isolation is now a great game pioneer with Outlast of the revival of survival Genre but IGN and Gamespot at the time gave it a 6 out of 10.
Happy for Yakuza 0 but aside review did they gave 1 article of coverage?
Sega, please make a new Jet Set Radio.
