What's next for Dreamcast Revival?

[Nathan]

Do I see a JGR screenshot here? http://dc.sega.jp/index.html

Middle right. Anybody else see that? What is it?

Probably just Bass Fishing...

[Orta]

You're desiring things, I'm afraid. JSR could be a bitch to release because of all the music.

[Sharky]

I wont be truely excited until I see either Jet Set Radio, Skies of Arcadia, Shenmue, Seaman or Chu Chu Rocket.

Although Space Channel 5 P2 is a good one.

[STORM!]

　There is none JSR pics on it.

 Probably the next titles will be Sonic Adventure 2 and Crazy Taxi 2. Sega has also a tone of love for Confidential Mission; the guys who made it love this title.

 There is also third party titles. Sonic Adventure still the most donwloaded title on the Japanese PSN Store. DC thirds might be interested on put their titles on it.

 Like Orta said, Sega titles made with licensed materials are a bitch to convert like we desired. Crazy Taxi was the first one losing things, and it will not stop...

 Thats why I like when Sega make their things 100% internally.

[George]

What? The American version of JSR did have some copyrighted tracks, but I'm sure that 95% of the music in JSR was SEGA's.

[STORM!]

95% is not 100% ;ppp

 There are a lot of popular songs in JSR not made by Sega.

[Barry the Nomad]

JSRF seemed to have loads more copyright songs than JSR did, though both had them.

JSR really wouldn't be the same without all the tracks. Here's hoping SEGA finds a way to rerelease the game without cuts.

Out of the many titles that Sega has released on Dreamcast, I think SoA and the Shenmue games are the only ones that are impractical. Maybe due to size limit, but I won't lose hope. I think I can live without Shenmue, but I'm craving so badly for an 800 Microsoft Points version of SoA with 16:9 and higher resolution, it would look so pretty on my LCD monitor.

Space Channel 5 Part 2 was a curious choice, I'm guessing they're probably using the PS2 source code.

[STORM!]

　Eternal Arcadia was completely shitty! Dont want...

 Instead it, I want Sakura Taisen 1, Sakura Taisen 2, Sakura Taisen 3 and Sakura Taisen 4!!! OMG!! CANT WAIT FOR THAT! Now with TROPHIES and HOME AWARDS!!

 I got a Sonic T-SHIRT and Sonic Shoes(for my avatar in HOME) playing Sonic Adventure on the PS3 ;p

Jet's soundtrack is absolutely critical.  The best track in the game 'Bout the city' is licensed. I'll keep my dreamcast if they leave it out of the digital release.  Also, not sure if DC controller still works on PS3 w/ a USB adaptor after the update that disabled third-party stuff.

Nobody's mentioning Ferrari F3555 which is almost certainly nixed after the Outrun deal where the Ferrari license expired.

The later they take to port Jet and Shenmue the better because at least they will have perfected the porting process.

[crackdude]

F355 would have no market at all. There is already a game about Ferraris on the PSN. A graphically inferior single-car game would fare badly today.

Still, it's still the smoothest looking racer I've played and an HD revision would be dreamy.

[Sega Uranus]

I am not sure about Skies of Arcadia. It seems like it would be a bit too large, but I would buy that so hard... Holy shit.

Most likely:

Sonic Adventure 2
Jet Set Radio
Chu Chu Rocket
Shenmue
Shenmue II
Daytona USA

[Sega Stylista]

What about Sega Rally 2? Should Sega bother with it and are the licensing issues with that a barrier to porting it?

I enjoyed DC Daytona but that runs into another licensing issue.  Would they bother renaming it just to port it?  Would they call that Sega Racing Classic too?  It would sell like crap and be hard to search under that name.

[Sharky]

On the subject of license music and stuff like that. It sucks that those things sometimes have to be cut.

But frankly if it is something that is not practical for them to re-license because it would not be worth the money the game will bring in. Then so be it.

At the end of the day I would rather get the game with a few necessary cuts then not get the game at all.

[SOUP]

Skies of Arcadia wouldn't be too huge.  They did fit it on one Gamecube disc (1.5gb), and I could see them making it a download for around 2gb without sacrificing the sound like the GC version.

Shenmue II would probably be the biggest one they could put out, but considering you can download some full retail titles now (inFamous, Burnout Paradise) I don't know that size would be much of an issue.

I'd see the next probable titles being:
Chu Chu Rocket
Jet Set Radio
Sonic Adventure 2
Shenmue

It'd be great if they localized some of the games that never made it over here like Napple Tale, Segagaga, and the Sakura Wars games.
