I can't stand it!

According to Upwire.com, SEGA are not merging with Sammy or Namco...Meaning, is it EA, Microsoft or Nintendo?!?!?

I don't want it to be EA...EA would ruin them.

I don't want it to be Nintendo - They are in enough trouble themselves

I guess, allthough I would prefer to see them on their own, Bill would be the best buyout becouse I have his console, and it has the best Online facilities, graphics, and a lot of dosh to fund the SEGA costs.

What do you think? Anybody know whats going on? I can't stand this multiformat crap, I can't stand seeing them all over the place! I just hope they pick a console, and fast!

I hardly think so.

Anyway, I doubt Sega'll be merging with anyone in the near future.

PLEASE NOT EA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will DESTROY Sega! If EA buy Sega every Sega game will go multiplatform and therefore turn crap! We want exclusive Sega titles.

Sega and Nintendo joining? Its not meant to be.

Microsoft........ YES!

I wish SEGA would commit all their future titles exclusively to Xbox. They have in the main part anyway. They should now go all the way. The Xbox is successful and will become more so with Xbox 2 etc. So hopefully it'll be Microsoft. Definately not EA, that would be too horrid for words.

I think I read somewhere that a new Virtua Cop game will be exclusively on Xbox, and I'm praying for Shenmue 3 and Rez 2 to be exclusively on MS's console.

Yep, the time is now to stick 2 fingers up at SONY & Nintendo and jump aboard the Xbox ship. Let them feed in the money so the SEGA development teams can concentrate on what they do best: making fun, original and glossy games.

On a serious note and this will no doubt be unpopular considering the conference this was posted in (doesnt give people a proper chance to say cube or EA if its just in the xbox conf eh?).

I'd have to say nintendo, because i want a force to balance out microsofts xbox. Sega and Nintendo understand one another as they've been competing for so long (imagine what sega could bring to nintendos established titles).

EA and Sony can go to hell as far as buying SEGA is concerned.

I would prefer EA.

At least that way they would stay multi-format.



Not too bothered at the moment though, Sega have been making a load of crap recently.

They wouldn't release every game across all formats, it be just like it is now.


Too be honest, as much as everyone just wants to badmouth EA, if they bought out Sega I certainly don't beleive it would ruin them. It would just be the same old Sega, with more funding and the EA logo at the start of the game.

Opening to MOH Frontline is good but the rest of the game is mediocre. Nightfire after long consideration is possibly the worst Bond game to date. The Sims has to be the most BORING way to spend an hour of your life apart from when you first get it and every FIFA game since 98 has been nothing short of terrible.

Hey, you're reading my mind. MOH gets more dissipointing the more you play. AI is crap, shallow gameplay, but gets the styling and atmosphere right. A mate lent me Nightfire a few weeks ago. Its crap, barely an improvemnt on the Agent under fire junk. I played it twice and now its sitting there gathering dust- im not going to waste my time playing it.

MS if anyone should nab SEGA. but prefearably i'd want to see them go on as they are as Multiformat developers to continue to get on their feet. But more Sega Xbox exclusives, a new Jet Set radio game for example, would be great.

A new SEGA console, that's what's needed, with more exclusives than you can shake a stick at.
