Imagine a world where money was not a factor, and more specifically, imagine this was the case in the gaming industry; - what if there were no need for financial directors at Sega, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft – if they had all of the money they needed to succeed. In this Post-Dreamcast era, what would happen if Sega announced a brand new games console…I wonder how that would change things…
Sega are the masters of the arcade, and because of their super-talent & dedicated in house game design teams, they really do sit proud at the top of the software elite. If you can think hypothetically for a moment – if Sega released their very own all-new piece of hardwaring technology, you know what could happen? The current crop of next generation games machines have never looked seemed so fantastic, and in nearly all three the cream is coming from Sega.
Crazy Taxi 3, House of the Dead 3, Virtua Fighter 4, Super Monkey Ball, Phantasy Star Online 2, Skies of Arcadia, Rez, Shenmue saga, Panzer Dragoon etc – these are some of the most exciting titles soon to be released, and they’re all landing on different consoles. Imagine if Sega decided to end all exclusivity deals with Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft and instead, bring the games out on their own new console (obviously there’d be no point in releasing everything on the Dreamcast), I personally think that this would have an astronomical effect on everything virtually polygonal.
Sega could become the kings of console gaming once more; die hard Sega supporters would soon be back on cloud 9 knowing that Skies of Arcadia could only be played through their console, AM2 would be a name to remember once more – they’re the makers of Virtua Fighter 4 of course (Yu Suzuki’s people) instead of PS2 owners just thinking it was from ‘Sega’.
Genre defying insanity, which we all clearly want to experience, would sell as it deserved to do – we’d have games like Seamen being released in Europe, more versions of Samba De Amigo and more; literally, if Sega pulled itself together it could release something truly amazing, not because it looked impressive, had a handle or could sit in a stand, but because it’d have the most saliva provoking titles around.
It’s not going to happen, but it’s just an idea from someone who’s appreciated Sonic Adventure, who’s experienced online Quake 3, ChuChu and Planet Ring, whose PS2 send off turned into hours of gaming fun from Virtua Tennis, Chu Chu Rocket and the wacky Power Stone 2 – Sega rule. Now everyone else can appreciate their games on the format they choose to buy – and we do want Sega games!
