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.

mjchitown319d ago

no sony is to blame. stop defensing sony like your life depends on it

@mjchitown

Explain, in detail, how Sony was to blame.

lodossrage319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

@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.

@jznrpg: "I miss Sega.'

Whenever you feel this way wait until the calm of midnight, open your window and stare at the moon. Your heart will open and you will find Sega there. Then the realisation that Sega never went anywhere - it was you that left Sega.

Crossplay Will Be In College Football 25 But Not In Online Dynasty Mode

EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel15h ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga15h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot14h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B13h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga12h ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb8h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid15h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman15h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.
