We all know what the Sega arcade legends are. We know what is considered to be the classics of the MS, MD and Saturn, GG and Dreamcast.
But what is considered to be the classic and even legendary titles from Sega from the period of 2001-2009 their first decade as a third party?
What Sega game is considered a modern classic or has grown in legendary status?
I can only guess what may pop up.
-
The Yakuza series for sure. Bayonetta is fantastic, but not entirely a SEGA title just because PG worked on it. Then again, people rave about Ecco and TJ&E from the MD era, so I'd guess Bayonetta falls under that category. All-Stars Racing Transformed, simply because it's the first time in a while that a Sonic title gave a Mario title a run for its money.
-
But SASASR:T can't count because it just came out. It has to be a title from 2001-2010.
-
Oh, my bad. Though you originally said "2001-2009" not "2001-2010". So which is it??? ;)
In that case, I'd trade out ASRT with ASR (if 2010 is the limit) since the original was a great game as well and given what it lead to (ASRT) I'd put it up there as one of the best modern era titles.
-
Made a mistake before, Its 2001-2010 since that's the first ten years of Sega being a third party.
-
Hmmm...as Barry said definitly Yakuza.
Then also Valkyria Chronicles, especially the first one.
Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Super Monkey Ball
F-Zero GX
Virtua Fighter 5
OutRun 2
Those I feel are definitly great.
Smaller one that are also good:
Sonic Colors
Virtua Tennis 4
After Burner Climax
House of the Dead 4
Phantasy Star Portable 2
-
Valkyria Chronicles
Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Super Monkey Ball
Yakuza
-
to add to the list:
Otogi
Shinobi
Gunvalkyrie
-
In my opinion:
Yakuza
Outrun 2
JSRF
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Bayonetta
Vanquish
After Burner Climax
House of the Dead Overkill
Mad World
Phantasy Star Portable 2
Super Monkey Ball
I think all these games are true classics. Also, Football Manager
-
Excluding the sequels and characters games, I would say that:
- Ryu Ga Gotoku
- Bayonetta
- 7th Dragon
- Vanquish
...are the best original titles Sega has made on this decade.
Gun Valkyrie I liked, but it has weird controls... End of Eternity is very well made, but the battle system is horrible. World Destruction was good, but the story is horrible too.
I hope they does another AAA original title for consumer consoles. Not only digital things...
-
- 7th Dragon
Is that actually that good? The only reason I'd want to play the game is cause of Rieko Kodama.
-
In-House would be
Orta.
JSRF
SEGA GT 2002 (the best racer around imo)
Out Run 2006
Yakyza II
Virtual Tennis IV
PSO II (and that's just on the beta demo)
Binary Domain (the best SEGA game since Orta imo)
Super Monkey Ball
HOTD III/IV
Valkyria
Sonic Gen
VF 4 Evo (most prob the best Vs fighter ever made)
Gunvalkyrie
Spikeout

YES! I was afraid when saw the pics and movies, but once played it, OMG! It was awesome!!! Very well balanced, colorful graphics, extremely wonderful sounds and musics, good gameplay and THE SAME dynamic battle system from Phantasy Star 4! I LOVED IT! Extremely fast and no bullshit!
The story is a bit bland, and the flowers on the maps are annoying. That's my only complaint.
I have not finished it yet lol.... and I will try the PSP version too!
-
Binary Dmain and PSO 2 and a few others cant count because they were released recently. Only games between 2001-2010 which had time to garner thweir status, not games outside of that.

Huh, really? Phantasy Star 4 you say...you made me curios at least.
I like the graphics in the first game, and how simple they are. But the 2020 games look stereotypical Anime like in those new Shining games. Unappealing to me, I don't associate that with Sega at all...
-
Valkyria Chronicles (the first one)
Billy Hatcher (despite the hate from some of you)
Super Monkey Ball
Yakuza (probably the 2nd one)
Resonance of Fate (would this count? It's 2010)
Gunvalkyrie (???)
OutRun Coast 2 Coast
Madworld (possibly)
Sonic Colours
-

yes it counts, anything after 2010 doesn't count. ;)

I really agree with Valkyria Chronicles. The Canvas Engine alone seeing the game in motion on the PS3 was awesome just to look at and simply enjoy. It's a shame that the game itself was pretty much ignored at the time it came out.
