SEGA forecast for 2016 (Mystery SKU Guessing Game Strikes Back)

[George]

Something is wrong when a bigger company like SEGA has less titles coming out than Atlus. I hope they fix this soon with new game announcements.

[Nirmugen]

Well Atlus on their own will publish 5 titles and Sega 3/6 titles but I think they need to announce something because it could  feel empty most of the year :/

[Berto]

So, we know 14/11 of 20 titles.

LOL 

[Sharky]

I don't believe Attila will be getting any more major updates. Attila is the update of Rome 2.
I do think Total Warhammer will be released in this financial year though.
Isn't Stella Glow published by SEGA?

Does Tembo count?
Yakuza 5?

Also where is this Sonic spin off news coming from? Or even rumour? You have put * by some titles but not explained what it stands for? I assume rumours?

Hmm, packaged games aren't Sega's focus anymore though. Makes sense to me, especially since Atlus is striking while the iron is hot with Persona spinoffs in every direction.

[George]

Can someone explain to me how Atlus can afford to localize stuff like Lost Dimension, Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, Dungeon Travelers 2, Etrian Mystery Dungeon and a few others in span of months but SEGA  hasn't been able to bring a Shining game over since Shining Force EXA in 2007? I mean, I thought Shining Resonance on PS3 could have done well, even if only released digitally.

Please keep those terrible looking Shining Games in Japan.

This game looks fun though, sure it has new anime look to it but it isn't like the past games where the girls all looked like they where out of some pron manga.

Here is some gameplay with subtitles, tell me it doesn't look like fun?

Gameplay? All I can see is 1.5 hours of dialogue. Where is the gameplay specifically? Is it SRPG? TELL ME MORE GEORGE.

[George]

I know SRPGs sell 80 million copies, but this is an action RPG sorta like Xenoblade Chronicles. ITs not a mainline series, its a Action RPG side game.

Interesting, is there actual battle footage in that video? I skipped through an awful lot but it was all just dialogue segments.

Also I wasn't going to complain if it wasn't an SRPG, I don't think any Shining games are SRPGs anymore.

[George]

This is better for gameplay:

The game looks fun, not a SRPG or anything but a least the characters aren't overly sexual in this entry. (still a little sexy but compared to the last enteries...)

Attila will have something, but i agree about Warhammer.
Stella Glow will be published by SEGA in Japan and by Atlus here.
Tembo and Yakuza 5 does not count, i am pretty sure.
I really doubt we will have a Sonic game this fiscal year. They expect to sell 7 millons of copies in general and i assume that 4 millons are from the "catalogue" (all the games that SEGA and Atlus already released and are still to be bought).
So more or less they expect to sell only 3 millons copies this year...and pretty sure Persdona 5 will get one of this 3.
This will be a "easy" year in my opinion, but at least we have some games here and there.

[Nirmugen]

That's why I put the "Sonic Spin-off"  in the releases.

I saw the expected sales from this year in terms of packaged games but now they count FM and TW as Digital Titles with limited packaged release(BTW maybe we receive a Bundle pack with Rome 2 Complete Edition and Attila just as past releases) and the AAA Title from CA Console Team is gonna be released next year, so it's possible that we get a proper Sonic title with 1.5 million in expected sales in 3 platforms. The rest will be for P5 released in 2 platforms for the end of last half of the fiscal year.

[Mariano]

I see, Ok maybe then.
Dont get me wrong, i want a new Sonic game, i just dont see it .
About ROME2, we will pretty sure get this year a "Collection edition", to add something.
