SEGA & Atlus E3 2016 lineup revealed

Atlus is Sega though :V

Not in the way that matters. Atlus and Sega are completely independent from each other as far as public perception goes and no one really associated either companies' game with each other and it's pretty disingenuous to think otherwise. Persona is Atlus and Yakuza is Sega.

That said, it sucks how they didn't show Yakuza 0 in the Sony conference.

Speaking of Yakuza 0, Atlus USA is handling the localization of that. :V

Actually, that only proves my point, Atlus is so independent and so well established that they handle the localization of Sega projects, which should by all means able to do handle localization projects but we know how that goes.

But you know what's bullshit? Sony thought it was a good idea to trade Persona 5 and Yakuza 0 for 20 minutes of Dad of War: Last of Us and Not Last of Us: Biker edition in their conference. Fucking borefest.

Gonna watch Yakuza 0 interview after work.

It made sense though. Yakuza and Persona are both very Japanese games and although they're still great, the western market has gotten more dominant over the years.

Have to say, apart from Yakuza appearing in the Sony conference I've seen little of SEGA at E3 and I follow most of their social media and YouTube channel. Seems a bit weak if I'm honest and this is why they needed that 'big' title. They bring attention to themselves as a whole.

It's because outside of what's shown during the press conferences, games that are shown at E3 probably aren't going to get much media attention. Sega especially isn't with how outside of their RTS games and Alien, their games have become a niche. If Sega has a "big" title, it wouldn't be something for Sega fans. It'd be Dawn of War or an Aliens game. The only exception to the rule is maybe Sonic and Shenmue 3, the latter only because of how ridiculous and unexpected the announcement was and how vocal the fanbase is.

This is why more and more publishers are starting to do their own press events. Activision and EA in particular are no longer at E3 outside of letting Microsoft and Sony show their games, with EA just doing their own event right before E3. This is sort of what Sega is doing as well with Sonic. If they have a big Sonic game announcement, they're not going to announce it at E3. They're going to announce it at the 25th anniversary party next month that they've been hyping up so much.

Even Nintendo is pulling out, choosing to instead of showing their next console at E3 to only show what they already announced and revealing the NX at their own event this Fall.

John Hardin was on Giant Bomb's E3 live stream.


EDIT: This is a great impressions video of Yakuza 0:

A true man's game.
 
 The fact that Yakuza 0 also seems like the best game in the series in terms of gameplay is just icing on the cake. 60fps real time style switch, motherfuckers.
