So you expect them to create something similar to the Utopia boot disc
Look, people are making Dreamcast games right now, are they using the official GD-rom writers to make them? If we use CD's so what?
Also on a Saturn, you just need to find a way to cover up the region code ( which is located on the edge of all discs ). I think a "disc skin" should do the job. I never tried them, they were protective covering for discs, but the coverings went to the edge of the disc itself. As long as you can block the laser from reading that region code, a Saturn game could load.
Also why not make a simple boot disc. So what if people can load copies. It is about the respect of the product itself, not the amount of copies being made.
Link to an article where Yu Suzuki says that. You might be right, but I'd still like to see where he said it.
I do remember an article or translated articles. But Shenmue two for the Dreamcast is really the original Shenmue. That is why some of the footage from the Saturn game looks simular from the second game. I will try if I get the chance to, but I do remember reading the game was mostly done, but late in the life of the SS, only because AM2 wanted to show off it's finest work.
You don't see Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo doing this for any of their old games/consoles, not even with games that were hits. It's asinine. No one wants this. New gamers won't play them because they don't own these old consoles, and collectors don't want this because it floods the market with remakes that undermine the value of original releases.
New gamers are the children of the older gamers. New gamers could be given pong, and call it fun.
We know what is best for our children, and that is what we grewed up with, for those of us, who were blessed or lucky. However that is the point. The point is preserving what we have, instead of casting it to the shadows. If it could be done in Japan, why not over here?
The only person who could believe what you are saying is a bum. Only a bum, with a r-tard phone, could get any joy out of DLC. That is the future you are talking about. Where you can never ever, ever own a videogame. Where you can never own anything at all. We are just patrons on the Star Treck enterprise. You see that area of the ship, that gets blown to bits, that us, right? The expendables, in red getting phasered, and lasered away.
I have a home, and it might not be perfect, but I want real things lining my walls. A fire could happen, a break n' entry, or even an home invasion ( in fact somebody broke into my house four, times already ). At least I have my beloved prized junk, that is a real product. When every bum outside will be like "Hey lets go down to Bon!!don!!, house, he has a giant 180 exHd, I will bring my r-tard phone ( PSP ) and plug it into the exHDmi-Mini. Then I am going to dail up into the service for all the DLC, and with the lighting fast, but no privacy speed of Don! connection, I am going to load the game from the server.
So basically your expecting me to have a job, so I can have my phone service, which includes my internet service. If not, your expecting Bon! to have a job, to pay for his rental, morgage, etc, so he can have a place to store his 360" display. So we can take full advantage of the exHd components I or Don! owns, so we can use our wireless controllers that automatically picks up off the r-tard phone.
Then we might get bored with a game, because my imaginary game server, has a bunch of titles, all with previews and links to video game plays. No more of "keep your hands of my games".
Lets think about this again. A game system that is my phone, that has no privacy, and can only load what is available ( like Netflicks ). Basically I am paying a tax for something that has no trade value.
...
Microsoft does not have a system, they have a government contract, with bankers. The contract forces big business ( educational, hospitals, non-for-profit, and anybody on the governments tab ),
to update on purpose. Otherwise they would not have a business. We the end consumer are affected when we are forced to purchase their products. Speaking of which the new 720 looks like crap.
...
It's asinine.
My asinining idea, is that you could make a game for whatever system you want, put a cassette/cartridge inside the case with the disc, or even flash, and have a product that will be sought after for years.
Not just hey lets collect the money and leave the consumer with a cable subscription, and a really big flat screen, just like the ones from "Futurama". A bunch of flatscreens that can never upscale, never use a regular light gun, and never look normal to the eyes ( because it is always a wide screen. A bunch of gamplay where the entire environment is paraded around, and the character is this little small dot, on this great big gigantic display.
My idea is, I know myself. I know what is good for myself, I know what is good for my children, I know what is good for the future. I mean yes being materialistic is wrong. Then again I am no Jue, so I was never taught "Thou shall not own products, that will rust and mold". In fact I love the Japanese idea, that "If I own something long enough, it will turn into a Raccon Dog" or come to life, bit.
:: had morning walk ::
I was just thinking about this, as I had my morning walk. Okay I am going to buy Shenmue 3 on a device that is supported by people who do not love the things I love and they allowing me to purchase a subscription, that leaves me with something I might not play for anoter five years or so? Then the subscription might not exsist or the service might not exsist. I am going to support that cable subscription, to bu.....play...play, Shenmue 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11??? But I will never own a physical copy.
I feel robbed and I feel my purchased will be robbed. There is alot angry poor people out their poorer then me, and they are willing to take the DLC, because it is free. There are a lot of angry rich people, who do not want people to own anything at all. Old money does not like new money,
and vice versa. Rich people wants to keep getting rich, knowing the consumer is going to buy into
it.
SEGA already calculated this. They predicted keeping up with hardware would cost too much. They also known the attention they want from a product, will not gain as much because of many thing I mentioned, in my last post. That is why SEGA will not release Shenmue. The time is not right, and the consumers known it too. SEGA wants both the original consumers, and their children to purchase Shenmue, and play it side by side or alone. They want everybody to be happy. They do not want to look like the enemy.
SEGA also made a mistake already doing this. They decided to work on the X-box, over Nintendo. However nowadays people are playing the GCN games on the Wii/WiiU. You rarely see anybody talk about the non-GCN games. Why is everybody still messing with the GCN, over the X-box??? If all of SEGA games were on the GCN over the X-box they would have saved some money. There is not one X-box release that SEGA has made, that everybody is going gaga crazy over. They could have been working on the Dreamcast release of these games as well.
Look at Resident Evil. Look at Resident Evil 1.5 and 2.5, a game that has yet to see an official release. Capcom could have made some dollars, package the game with RE5, and RE6. They could have released the dancing baby, and super violent directors cut of version of RE4 for the GCN inside an PS3 box.
That is the future. Your going to see game creators appease to the over all audience. Not just whatever r-tard anti-privacy women perse tinker toy.
