I am not really impressed with him. I have heard all of these lies from SEGA before, so I need proof that any of this is going to be true.
And what is impressive about SEGA publishing boring titles of other developers? I do not care about Vanquish or anything Gearbox/Rebellion makes. SEGA has never been known for FPS games.
As for Sonic, he says they want to develop more games like Sonic Heroes. What kind of strategy is that? He is also very unclear about Sonic 4 and the franchise in general, leading me to believe he has no control/knowledge of it.
Overall it was just a boring set of PR things about 'how good the future will be with outsourcing' and 'we learned our lessons'. We have all read this before in the last 5 years.
Coming from the total war guy. :lol:
But Kogen is right, SEGA has never been known for FPSs. I know tons of general SEGA fans that do not care about these games either because... Well, they are fans of a company that has never been known for those genres.
I am the same way, I rather they still make games that appeal to me. I know that sounds selfish, but I rather they make good games that are similar to what they used to make, that is how you keep fans. Yakuza is not enough, and I cannot even play it much, so why should I care?
Well FPS started to raise its ugly bloodsoaked bullet ridden head after sega reached its peak so they wouldn't be known for it compared to the genres they are known for that were in its infancy when sega was rising to the top of their field but they were there during FPS's initial rise to the hearts of the console gaming mainstream. For instance Sega helped publish the grandaddy to all FPS Doom outside of its PC universe to the more gaming mainstream back in 94, they then did a couple of FPs for the saturn and PC/internet with games like congo and the third person shooter Vigilance back in 95/98. And by then SOJ did Outrigger which came out in 99. So whether these games were good or not it was hardly them jumping on the bandwagon which was severly jumped by the time after halo came out and the xbox was the system that PC developers could flock to, a task which the DC ultimatly failed to do.
They may not be succesful with it(yet) but Sega is known for different genres to the ones we know them for like beat em ups, racing etc, today's younger generation will more likely know them for sonic,and gotta catch em all type games like pokemon popularised andother kiddie like games(if you happen to be in japan) rather than their traditional base. Progression or dumbing down, take your pick.
