While they weren't what they used to be, Sega is still among the best gaming companies in the world. They have produced some of the most beloved video game franchises in the industry.
Cultured Vultures: These 15 unresolved video cliffhangers could be solved in the future, though if we’re really honest with ourselves, we all know there’s no chance in hell of that happening.
Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.
I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.
The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.
I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.
Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.
Today marks Sonic 3’s 30th anniversary, one of the Blue Blur’s most talked about entries among fans.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is peak 2D Sonic for me. Probably my most played Genesis game.
No, not a divisive game. The visuals, levels, music, controls were all great. Having to buy Sonic & Knuckles wasn't an issue at all, just more awesome gaming made available to me at the time. I lived through that era, and I don't remember anyone complaining that they had to buy another cartridge just to get the complete game, if you enjoyed Sonic games on the Genesis, you were happy to get another one back then.
The only issue with Sonic 3 is that stupid freakin' horrible "BARREL OF DOOM!" all because Sonic Team didn't properly communicate to the player what to do.
I had 1 & 2, I played 3 at someone else's house. When I heard about S3 & Knuckles I assumed it was the same game with just Knuckles added in and thought it was stupid, until I found out a while later it was much more. I wonder how much more they could've put onto the game carts, I know there were cut levels in some of the games.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Sonic Heroes is an enigma of a game. It is bad, in every technical aspect you can imagine. Upon replaying it for the first time in more than a decade, I did noticed how poorly it aged. Yet… I really don’t care. It’s the bizarre kind of charm featured in every single Sega game from this era. Call it nostalgia, call it game feel, Sonic Heroes is the kind of game you know you shouldn’t like as much as you do, but you couldn’t care less about that. It just takes a few seconds of listening to that adorable Crush 40 theme song for you to basically shut off the logical parts of your brain and proceed to enjoy this adorable jankfest with the biggest of smiles."
Empire: Total War
Virtua Fighter 5
Yakuza 3
Valkyria Chronicles
House of The Dead overkill
Madworld
Yakuza Kenzan
They are not the SEGA we knew alright, but They are doing better than Square Enix, Namco, And other companies no one Bash.
Also, I agree with Panzer Dragoon, But Shenmue should have taken the first!
Panzer Dragoon is a masterpiece especially Orta.
I would have selected Shining Force as well
Shinning Force (The numbered ones, not the crap they put out now)
Shinobi
Skies Of Arcadia
Sonic
Nights
Of course Sega let most of these die or turned them into crap. I also really wish someone would release Shinning Force 3 Part 2 and 3 in the US either as a download or compilation disc.
Sega aren't what they used to be? Well maybe but you could say that platform gaming isn't what it used to be to some extent ever since the concentration moved from 2D to 3D games (even though there have been some great 3D platform games they often very different from the tight ideas and execution in 2D games).
When Sega were creating great games like Virtua Tennis, Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio and releasing them on the Dreamcast, not enough people bought that console.
When they gave away Jet Set Radio Future on the Xbox, many of the Xbox crowd didn't want it.
Super Monkey Ball seemed to be a relative hit, at least on the Cube, but I don't think that Outrun 2 was remembered well enough.
So Sega might also say a lot of videogame players aren't what they used to be.
I recently played a Sega arcade game called 'Let's Play Jungle', released in 2006, which was great fun, if reminiscent of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
They have a massive presence in the Arcades and name Recognition !!
Why are they so out of it!! they will soon fade if they dont capitalize on these games!!
Sega is or was the "Marvel" of video games..
Meaning Marvel comics.
They have the most influential titles and franchises EVER!!!
if Sony could take them under their wing or Microsoft ??
they could invest in specific Titles and max the hardware out like they used to!!!
SEGA was and IS video Games, now they are a 2 bit dev house that takes low risk !!
Shenmue was Masssive and phenomenal,so was Panzer Dragoon, So was The racing games they made! along with being the only Game system to have a perfect 10 game ever (Soul Calibur)
Why are industry leaders and consumers so fughghking ignorant to this??
Sega is gaming! but where are they??
Yu Suzuki where are your students?????
your team AMx???
The first company to use Polygons now can't even do a descent graphical masterpiece??
Like their last which to me was House of the dead 4 on PS3 like arcade hardware..
Nothing looks this good not even Killzone2..
