>Sega is developing a "Super Game" initiative, a major, high-budget ($800M+ over 5 years) AAA project designed for global, long-term, and cross-platform appeal, aimed for release by March 2026. The initiative aims to move beyond traditional gaming with a, potentially, live-service, community-driven ecosystem, possibly featuring remakes of classic, major, or new IPs.
Yeah we didnt hear shit about this at all this year and now its cancelled
>>738725223 btw this got reduced to a four-year probation period where the jail time will be thrown out if he doesn't commit any crimes during that period. That was in 2023 so by 2027 the sentence will be dropped.
Dude served no jail time, just had to pay over 175 million yen in fines, which sounds like a ton until you realize that's only like 1.2 million USD.
>>738724550 Is Sega the only company not falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy? After hyenas and now this, it seems like they’re the only ones capable of seeing a downward trend and deciding not to piss money up a wall trying to force a return to the gravy train.
I KEPT TELLING THE KEKS ON THIS WEBSITE THAT THE "BIG GAME" WAS NOT AN ALIAS FOR ALL THOSE REMAKES AND IT WASN'T JET SET RADIO EITHER IT WASN'T HIENAS IT WAS SOME BIG SLOPPA THEY HADN'T EVEN SHOWN YET
>>738726539 Sony also cancelled dozen of live-service titles/spin-offs, and I'm sure many other publishers are doing the same thing with their unannounced projects (hero shooters, battle royales, extraction shooters, etc.) Now they are just waiting for a new trend to pop up (and not die in less than a week) so they can copy the shit out of it.
>>738724550 >SEGA is retarded. >SEGA is also one of the few companies to recognize live service isn't gonna make any money in 2026. Can both be true? Yes.
>>738726043 >just had to pay over 175 million yen in fines I wonder how much money he made off of insider trading. If these courts are like Western ones, probably twice as much as he was fined.
Sega makes (publishes) my favorite games Yakuza and Persona so I'm very happy they're not wasting (more) money on live service. I just wish they hadn't wasted that money already. I thought Hyenas was the only live service game they were doing. Looking forward to the new Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.
>>738727439 There's a chance it might not be entirely bad. If it is, then we'll at least have new Naganuma tracks. And if Naganuma is not involved, then it wasn't Jet Set Radio in the first place.
>>738727340 The amount he was ordered to pay back was what he made. He did insider trading over some Final Fantasy mobile game that didn't even do that well. He would have made more money if he actually focused on making Balan good, hilariously. He was somehow bad at insider trading.
>>738728192 The same report says that Sega is jumping off the GaaS train (for new F2P titles) while maintaining their existing F2P titles (like NGS). A new single-player PS game has better chances of being developed than a new PSO game.
>>738726539 >Is Sega the only company not falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy? Pso2 NGS exist. Literally all of their problems sense NGS being released could have been avoided if they had just actually focused on Pso2 and releasing NGS properly from the start.
>>738724550 The more things come out about shit like a "Super Game", the more I hate Microsoft as a company. They really need to fuck off from gaming. >You literally did this. Yeah, I plan to do more, Xbox must and will die.
>>738728310 Oh wow >>738728540 How did it become such a shitshow? Did a Japanese Jason Schreier do a report breaking down how something so anticipated and made by such a big name talent went so poorly?
>>738729859 >Pso2 NGS exist Development on that game has effectively stopped years ago and it's only still up to squeeze money from the whales that remain, doesn't contradict what he said
>>738731501 >>738731314 >>738730627 The shareholder report is more brutal if you dive into the data. The words they use try to minimize the impact on the Japan stock price as much as possible but its really bad. https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/1p0qreq/segas_profits_plunge_91_due_to_weak_game_sales/
Like when Hyenas got canned they had to humiliate ritual Sega of Europe in their report to shift blame away from Japanese management and avoid their stock tanking further.
>>738730289 But Microsoft had involvement in it so I'm going to call them out, shill. AAA wouldn't exist as it is today if it weren't for Microsoft, kill Xbox and you kill the current market.
>>738730387 I believe he was a dickhead, but it seems that he started making an action RPG about rescuing a princess, and Sega told him he should be working on the next Sonic game. It makes sense to quit if your boss wants you do forever do shit you don't want to do.
>>738730293 No it's still going, that's why it's sunk cost fallacy. They can't declare NGS done and cut it's losses, the moment they do in it's sorry state currently, that's the second Phantasy star as an Ip dies, because of how badly Ngs and by extension Pso2 was mismanaged, no one is gonna trust anything with the name Phantasy star ever again.
>>738725227 Those developers should be complaining to their bosses for making them develop games nobody wants. I'm not going to buy dog shit just to keep the dog shit collector in a job
>>738732593 Sunk cost fallacy would be if they were trying to turn it around and investing money into it still, they've accepted that it's a failure and just keep it running because it still makes them some amount of money while all they have to do is reskin a few enemies per year and keep pumping out low effort cosmetics
>>738732857 Every attempt to try and ignore the problem that is NGS with pivoting to other IPs has literally failed and began sinking into decline. There is no avoiding the trashcan fire now.
>>738730209 Well let's see >Unreal Slop >Made by one of the shittiest studio on the planet >Rushed out the door with half of the content missing >Clearly meant to be played in coop where you double your abilities and can combine them together to reach places that are just impossible to reach in single player but almost no one would dare to play it in coop Like, I hate Naka as much as the next guy but he's not the one that programmed the basic movement system, the demo was so fucking back it probably killed 95% of the game sales on its own. It had the worst movement ever in a platformer
>>738733105 It's more like an early access game. They release something unfinished, claim they will support it for years and then just don't do that. They also often have the added caveat of also making the game inaccessible when it shuts-down. So they're glorified demos that you rent.
>>738733223 Not even that will be enough to replace what Pso2 use to get them before NGS was rushed out, again you comparing the short term gain from the sales of a single player game like Stranger than Heaven, to the massive loss in profits that's happened over 5 years ever since NGS was rushed out and neglected. Not mention STH isn't even guaranteed to be a good game even though it looks extremely promising.
>>738726928 SEGA is retarded so they realize a bit too late that they've made a grave mistake. The average AAA western dev is not a retard, they are a zealot. Even if their last slop failed and left them on the brink of death, they are willing to try again because imagine if they are finally right this time.
>>738733223 that's just people listening to the song people sega are handing out copyright strikes left right and center while refusing to release the fucking song
>B-but the revival games are still in develop- I am fucking SICK of 10 second teasers and vague plans. Give an actual goddamn trailer for them you fucks 5 seconds of the idea of a new JSR doesn't do dick for me anymore
>>738725227 At a competent video game developer they'd just be looped into another project so the company retains talent and a knowledgeable userbase and you don't have the 343 problem of being so reliant on temp contractors and have to staple together random bullshit every game.
>>738737246 Yup. Sega giving all the budget into the racing spin-off and probably most of that going to Paramount sure was money well spent. Not like that money could've gone into a real Sonic game, because and iron out the issues Frontiers had, no sir
>>738737246 Lmao not even close, it has less content and features than the first game, it's a shit e-sport games made to milk retards with progress bars
>>738737713 Sure they did. I'm sure Five Guys was waiting outside the door at Sega's offices for a game they didn't even promote in any meaningful way.
>>738724550 >Hyenas >shutting down their arcades >shutting down Mania 2 because SoJ still somehow holds a grudge against their western branches despite this causing two consoles to tank >LE DAME DAME GUY assetflip shart yearly releases >Oldheads getting outed as felons Good
>>738735013 >But everyone else on /v/ tells me the Xbox is dead Xbox is dying, it's not dead yet, it'll be dead by 2030 though. >Sony is at fault for the AAA moviegames trend Microsoft started that trend with Gaylo and Tears of Bore. >Why should I believe you over them? Because you can trace it back to when everything in console and PC gaming started going to shit.
>>738724550 no fucking way they wanted to spend $800 million, they were working on it for 3 years and it wouldn't affect any other game that's a massive blow regardless how early you pulled out
>>738724550 Too bad the next Golden Axe and Streets of Rage look like such fucking shit. They could have kept them 3D but still manged to make a cool retro look aesthetic. Instead we get to see how amateur Sega really is.
AAA studios should just make Hgames honestly. A 5 man team with a multi million dollar budget and actual oversight, creativity, deadlines, and talent would dominate that market.
>>738742205 And which games started that, dipshit. There's a reason the original Xbox didn't get RE4 and that was because Microsoft thought video games were fucking movies. Right after the first Gaylo game, Microsoft wanted a Gaylo movie. That tells you everything you need to know. Sony's western branch being retarded as they were, spent years wanting to copy Microsoft. Sony Japan never wanted them to but started loosening their leash. Now those retards only make movie shit. Glad Sony Japan about to finally push their shit in.
>>738738797 >>shutting down Mania 2 Still baffles me. All the sales, the praise, the review scores, and because they felt petty, just fucking canning an obvious, EASY layup. And for what? Fucking Superstars? I don't hate it, but I didn't enjoy it as much as Mania. Pic unrelated.
>>738725223 >here's this fun little system which is the foundation of capitalism where you can trade and bet depending on how good companies in the free market do, allowing you to potentially earn billions in virtual fake money that doesn't actually exist and doesn't actually represent anything on value, we just pretend it does so that we can keep the charade going amongst our kind >but if you actually know information that will make you take riskless bet then that's illegal and you go to jail I swear the modern world is retarded He was right
>>738742567 Did some xbox fag call you apu or something? I don't even like halo and can appreciate parts of it. The real cancer was and is playstation's western branches
>>738724550 let me guess, it was their upcoming golden axe gaym? >>738740752 honestly hope it was their golden axe project, that shit looked terminally pozzed
>>738743376 >honestly hope it was their golden axe project, that shit looked terminally pozzed I hope so to but I doubt it since I doubt it has a huge budget put into its development. Wasn't that Shinobi game regarded as complete shit on here despite it getting decent reviews? I wouldn't trust Sega with any of their classic IP's no more. I'd hand Golden Axe to Vanillaware and give them enough funding to produce a solid beat 'em up.
>>738742959 Could you blame SOJ? SOA, back during the Dreamcast, literally had Microsoft plants in there that helped killed Sega's Dreamcast so Microsoft could fuck up gaming with their Xbox. I would hate SOA too if I was Japanese.
>>738726928 For some reason, everyone who calls the shots at most major publishers cannot understand that you can't just do what your competition is doing "but better, more efficiently, or with more popular IP." Somehow, they don't understand that no one who's playing Fortnite right now is only going to leave it when they're thoroughly sick of it, and anything like it. And the same is true of every other live service. Somehow, they're obsessed with putting all their eggs in one basket, over and over again. Every game is a risk. Trying to avoid risk only reduces the odds you'll succeed, and spending a ton of money doesn't guarantee you'll make more. A lot of small risks is better than one big one. It's easier to appeal to a wider range of people with multiple distinct offerings rather than just one, too.
>>738724550 Every live service super game should have been immediately cancelled after square enix's mega flop avengers game. The fact that corporate suits still went full throttle on this slop goes to show just how retarded they are
>>738743160 Looking at what Microsoft's been doing since 2001, what they did to the Dreamcast, what they're doing now, woke me up to them. They're evil and are the most dangerous company in gaming, that's why I'm enjoying their failings. I'm not worried about PlayStation's western branches, they're currenting being neutered by Sony Japan. Are game studios here in the US only work well as indies. Big Tech shitters need to stay out of gaming. I already had a feeling Microsoft had their hands in this Sega Super Project, they always want to keep pushing these retarded ass woke AAA games. Microsoft never understood gaming. You can't throw money at a problem and expect everything to fix itself.
>>738724550 Was this that hyenas disaster or another 800$ millions dollor bust? The fucking state of this where canning a billion dollar project was genuinely the right call
>>738744412 They probably realized hyenas was indefensible dogshit so they had it killed in utero, even though I'm sure PCgaymer, Gaymspot and nIGN would praise it to high heaven given enough shekels to shill that trannyslop.
>>738726691 This isn't the first massive game they had the sense to cancel despite investing millions already. Between this and Hyenas they might as well be called business geniuses since they stand side by side with companies like Snoy and the games that should've been cancelled like Concord.
>>738745306 I like sonic but sonic alone can't hold up the entire company for the long run, the cracks are starting to show up, specially now that crossworlds made people aware of some of their other series and the vidya industry being harsher than ever, i need more sonicfags and more people to get into other sega's franchises and segafags to get into sonic cause gamefags are scarely becoming sparse in this era where multimedia is becoming more popular than the games
>>738746759 If Sega had a smallest brain cells they start pumping out good sonic games without jeet and ai "devs". And starting to dust off old franchise like Valkyrie chronicles, the Shining game series , crazy Taxi, jet set radi etc
>>738725227 The east is still mostly fine, good AAA western devs are already mostly out of positions of control or business entirely if they haven't already gone fully independent, AA small company or even A mostly solo. It's all a handful of coprorate plant devs commanding herds of college interns, third-world retards and now AI slopbots being told to work on ill-fated GaaS shit and snowflake statements nobody asked for. Removing the skeletons isn't losing us any more value than what already has been killed off, and at this point there's little else that will actually incentivize the publishers to change anything.
>>738748998 No publisher would be retarded enough to spend 800m on one game, except Rockstar, the Super Game was always an initiative to make a large number of high budget titles, maybe 100m each.
>>738750040 >This >Shadow Labyrinth flopping hard >Shinobi under performing >Highguard lasting a month Is did Geoff curse the game awards or something?
Good. All live services are cancer. My hope for the "stop killing games" initiative is not for companies to keep the servers up indefinitely but rather that after considering the costs of doing so they decide that the business model is dead.
>>738729193 Yeah, a new PSO game isn't going to come out for a long time. They guaranteed that when they tied NGS to base PSO2 instead of making it its own standalone thing completely. As it stands, PSO2 now has two entire fucking generations of account-linked shit that will go poof when service is finally discontinued. People are gonna expect to keep keeping their shit if a new one releases too close to that. The only thing they can do once EOS is reached, is bury their heads in the sand and let time wash the bile and hatred of lost investment away.
>>738761483 No, Super Gayme is just the name of the project. It was supposed to be $850 million dollar plan over 5 years to bring out high-budget sequels of their IPs. Considering this shit was announced in 2021, it means this project was basically canned a long time ago anyway. I'm pretty sure the Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi live-service games were supposed to be out by now but they're probably stillbirth.
>>738724550 Sega still fucking wasted 776 million dollars on buying Angry Birds. 776 million dollars would have been enough money for Sega to release a new video game console.
>>738726691 Hollywood likes to cancel movies because of tax write-offs. By cancelling their billion dollar super game, Sega can now have a tax write-off of 1 billion dollars.
>Hollywood studios, notably Warner Bros. Discovery, have increasingly used tax write-offs to cancel completed or near-completed films (e.g., Batgirl, Coyote vs. Acme) to cut costs, rebalance balance sheets, or avoid marketing expenses. This strategy allows studios to treat the production cost as a loss, providing immediate financial relief, especially following mergers
>>738762627 Yes, you fucking retard, I'm saying the live-service versions of those games were cancelled internally long ago considering they were supposed to be out already by now.
>>738725227 >developers are going to be out of a job. It's not my financial responsibility to support shit games and terrible decisions of game studios They need my money to stay alive, I don't need live services games to survive
>>738724550 >Our project is such an evolution in video gaming that we're giving it the title "Super Game" >Anyway we're canceling it because there's too many games like it on the market Dead Industry Theory
>>738763065 Yeah, this was one of the few smart decisions sega's ever made in the last twenty years. Bailing out of that piece of shit not only saved a shitload more money and embarassment, but probably saved creative assembly from self-destruction as well, since they assuredly would've gone down with the ship.
>>738763692 >Our project is such an evolution in video gaming that we're giving it the title "Super Game" that reminds me of the world's first AAAA game
>Back in 2021, Sega announced plans for a ‘super game’ initiative; one it would be investing millions of dollars into, with assistance from Microsoft, and which would involve multiple projects. >Sega never actually explained what it meant by ‘super game’ but reports claimed that revivals of Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi (which were later announced in 2023) were part of the plan. >The first of these super games was meant to launch this year, but after never mentioning the concept again, Sega’s decided to pull the plug on the whole thing, as part of a rethink of its live service games strategy. This sounds almost like it was meant to be like that one twitter screencap about NFT games where you grind for resources in one game to use in another.
>>738763972 They probably had it in mind, but NFT's pretty much imploded in the meanwhile. Crazy to think we were yammering about that shit literally every other thread, and now it's never mentioned since everyone ran like hell from the idea.
>>738725227 I really like how you've taped into this devils advocate/ bait method for more (you)s anon. Really takes advantage of the low iq anons of this board
>Phantasy Star Online VR >Looks like the Dreamcast version so everyone with a headset can run it. Also "retro". >Encourage socializing >No microtransactions
There. Free million dollar idea that people won't hate.
>>738726691 Sonic, licensing out their IPs (Particularly Sonic), gachas, and the fact that many of their games cost peanuts to make. Yakuza as a whole is half reused assets.
>>738724550 maybe you could turn it into a normal game? and then sell it at a one off price that makes more money than the cost of development. gaining more money than lost and using that to create new games using this same new idea...
>>738767061 they quite clearly paced out the DLC in order of greatest to least expectations for crossworlds the player activity spikes with each subsequent release of new DLC it went from hatsune miku (aka i will now buy your game) being a launch day buy me item to ichiban being released during their F2P weekend lmao it's pretty obvious how much planning went into the post-release monetization to pad the earnings for this game because they anticipated it would be a total flop had they not done so and of course, because it's sega, by the end of this the roster will no longer be primarily made up of sega IPs, and that's an embarrassing humiliation ritual they keep repeating.
>>738726691 They make money at other divisions. Their anime company TMS/Telecom Animation Film does well for them. Detective Conan movies make them $100-150 million per year from box office in Japan and South Korea.
>>738771845 Not after the Dreamcast, but after being acquired by Sammy.
Sega's internal dev teams were gutted or shut down. Smilebit, Overworks (pretty much replaced by Atlus), UGA, Hitmaker, AM2 (RGGG making VF6 confirms AM2 are no more) etc, are all gone.
Reiko Kodama is dead (and Sega didn't care)? Suzuki, Oba, Ohshima, Arai, Naka are all long gone.
Only Sonic Team and RGGG remain, really. Sega outsource most projects and are really just a publisher.
>>738742975 Insider trading is banned not because it would mean insiders would win all the time, but because it would cause the whole system to fail. Think about it. If you left it completely legal for people who work for companies to buy and sell their own stock based on stuff only they could know, then who is going to be the other side of that transaction? Who would buy into SEGA knowing that insiders are likely the ones doing the selling? Who would sell knowing that insiders are the ones doing the buying? The only reason the stock market holds together is because BOTH parties think they are right. And BOTH parties have an equal opportunity to be wrong.
>>738767061 I don't believe this. /v/ and journos told me that crossworlds failed. I don't think they would lie to me like that so I call this video fake, the translation failed, or it was made with ai. Probably all three for sure.
>>738773647 I'm sure this is coming after this season pass ends. No way they're missing their chance to use what they tried with Rumble (costumes and characters) on a better and more popular game, they just needed the time to realize the game was good after all. Unless they finally bring the fucking donpa tickets shop and shove new (free) SEGA and Sonic characters and costumes there to buy once in a while, while leaving the heavy hitters and crossovers for the season pass, but that seems too good to be true. Guess we need to wait and see if they make the right choice.
>>738724550 I mean no hostility but seriously, when is Sammy going to destroy Sega? Why are they tolerating Sega's historic incompetence? Sega should be like Warner Bros meaning a company that keep being sold away to different owners because they are grossly incompetent. And Sega has been given too many undeserved chances.
>>738733285 >>738733351 The people in this thread that are criticizing sega for the decision aren't seeing the bigger picture. Sega's done this before: they know how to cut their losses. The cut their whole console business to stick to games, and they're still around. I think they're smarter than most. Stupid people double-down, they don't accept reality. Smart people see the signs and pivot, drastically if needed.
It is Current Year 2026 and Sega, of all companies, is the only publisher making sound financial decisions. Sony meanwhile is planning Concords 3 through 6. Ponder on that for a moment.
>>738743941 Retard. That is not what happened. Ultimately MS was eyeballing Sega as a potential acquisition and kind of was during some time since a good few Sega games ended as Xbox exclusives. But SOJ fucked up at all times and even told to their faces they wanted to take the technology they had developed and kill the western branch.
Half of all modern game development is just fleecing suits for money.
>Work on game for 5 years >Have little to show >"Umm we need another 3 years and another 35% of the budget" >Still have nothing to show after 3 years >Game cancelled >Everyone laid off >You got paid for 8 years for nothing
>>738775856 I could save Marathon. -Bring in traditional multiplayer modes with 4vs4 and 8vs8 modes. -CTF, Territories and Oddball This cost nothing to them, modders do it FOR FREE. Next... -Focus on doing seasonal Single Player / Co-Op chapters -PVE mode Extraction that triples the amount of enemies in contrast to PVP -PVP modes that take into account custom characters and reward grinding Once the game is properly funded do the inverse of Destiny and add a post-launch Marathon campaign.
I know Bungie allocated more man power now but explain to me how 200 people couldn't prepare more than 3 trash maps by launch? 20 Guys is more than enough to create several MP maps and it is not like Marathon's are any good.
>>738772395 >but because it would cause the whole system to fail > The only reason the stock market holds together is because BOTH parties think they are right. And BOTH parties have an equal opportunity to be wrong. that's precisely why the system itself is a nonsensical facade. It does not represent real value and worth, it's just a virtual game made to enrich wall street yuppies with no effort, but it will implode immediately as soon as someone "cheats"... And it's trivially easy to "cheat", so much so it seems like cheating should be the default state of the game, due to being the most obvious route to take
>>738725227 Guess they'll just have to get out there and hustle. Pull up their bootstraps. Practice their handshakes. And learn a new skillset. It's the same bullshit they've been telling the blue collar workers for the last 50+ years as industries were offshored so karma's a bitch.
>>738724550 I'm not Lewis Parker so no, I literally did not write that article you're posting a phone screencap of on /vee/ to bait engagement (You)s with.
>>738725227 If they can't make a successful game without MTX and squeezing every penny they can out of customers then they should never have been allowed to make a game in the first place.
>>738726691 Football manager, Persona, total war, Sonic and they have couple of mobile gachas printing them money. They also branched out into anime, manga and figurines and shit.
This lineup is absolutely depressing. I mean, the revivals SHOULD be exciting but we all know they're going to fuck them all up. Also not a SINGLE release date for any game.
>>738784857 Hey, at least they're trying. Don't know why they're bothering with Golden Axe though. From the revealed art it's an absolute pozzfest.
>Female character front and centre with a side shave, when female characters in this sort of fantasy are supposed to be the attractive fuckmeat of the actual main character >Barbarian's arm just looks awful, it's all bicep no tricep
>>738785526 >"At least there trying" >2 years since those games were revealed >Literally not a single second of footage or a single screenshot of any of them since >That fucking Golden Axe srtstyle >"At least they're trying"
>>738724550 RGG is the real enemy of Sega. They killed Am2, absorbed whatever was left of jet set radio and panzer dragoon developers. And whatever happened with Sakura Wars. They even have beef with Sonic Team, but who honestly wouldn't fucking retards made slop like Colors on a yearly basis
>>738786174 >And whatever happened with Sakura Wars? It became the catalyst that started this whole death spiral. Also Nagoshi had a hand in pushing for more Sakura wars when he was there to so there's that
>>738786818 I'm under the impression that Nagoshi was bribed and bought by the Chinese to fuck over Sega, was promised his own studio under them, was given it for semantics, then they burned his ass and shut him down before he could make a game.
>>738787273 ehhh NetEase also fucks over small creators, so I don't see a pattern. Just incompetence coming from all sides. Nagoshi did exactly what for 4 years? It's all his fault
>>738726691 same reason konami isn't dead: they have a few stable money printer franchises (yugioh and sonic for 1 example for each) that will take like 50 years at least to fully die off so they have to make a swift, monumentally retarded and utterly incompetent decision to actually throw it all in the trash instead of dying slowly due to comparatively smaller fumbles
>>738788351 The pattern is when he was still at Sega, from the little things like his glazing portrayals of Chinese characters in his games since 4, to the more controversial things like him passive-aggressively antagonistizing the puyo puyo fanbase, the radical decision to change yakuza's playstyle with 7 and again the biggest offense of pushing for a revival of a niche game like Sakura wars over Pso2 finally breaking outo into the global eye.
>>738789202 You can't be serious they give sonic like 10% of budget of one yakuza title. Not to mention how we had to wait for 5 years until sonic forces and then another 5 years for frontiers. Ips are not eternal, people get tired from eating slop
>>738724550 The saw first hand the reception for canceling Hyenas, the fact they didn't cancer this project right fucking then and instead waiting two years prove SEGA is still full of retards.
>>738724550 Do this mean they can finally start pumping resources into crossworlds now? We need more balances patches, more characters, more tracks, more machines, more costumes more stable servers.
I guess that is fair. The only games I have bought are Demon's Souls, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Astro Bot. I didn't buy the others because they were woke and didn't buy a PS5 Pro because I don't have a 120hz TV.
>>738794380 >spoiler That's sounds like the super game was always Hyena's and even when they canceled it the first time some body kept trying to repurpose and revive the dead project under numerous rebrands before some one finally said "NO MORE SUPAU GAMEU!"
>>738788914 The Trilogy and CTRNF was some of the best times to be a Crash fan, I miss those days, and fuck Activison for killing the momentum. >>738789136 God willing, and I hope they're not afraid to touch other parts of the IP, it's a racing game, stop playing it "safe".
>>738786818 This faggot is as much a hack and washed up fraud as him and Harada now too. When's the last actually good game this bald retard has made? Wonderful 101 13 years ago?
