not really sega-related, but on the excitement note:
there going to be another kotaku meet up in tokyo before TGS?

nrt

Bayonetta :D!!!!!!!!!! This is one of my mostanticipated games of 2009, Platinumgames FTW! and I wasn't expecting Madworld there anyway -_-'...

Midnightchronicles

@Gigaheart: Lol, i'd die for shenmue 3. Yu Suzuki might need some bribe money.

Hmm, Sadly thought , i don't see them reviving any of those. Esp...Esp...Panzer Dragoon anything. D:

휘성

WHAT IN THE ____ING HELL IS "Internet Adventure"?!!

And these are wants from Sega, so Sega, make it!

- Shenmue 3
- Otogi 3
- Panzer Dragoon Saga 2
- Metal Wolf Chaos 2
- Jet Set Radio NEXT-GEN
- Sega GT NEXT-GEN

Reactions - Thoughts - Insights.

*~*

Gigaheart

@creid: Portable should be the focus though. Since everyone doesn't have time to dedicate to a at home console.

EvilMetsFan

Lots of DS and Wii games... Easy money. At least we have Yakusa 3.

Rod_Z

What's Sega Bringing To TGS?

Disappointing Sonic games? maybe.

roylink

@photoboy: The Dreamcast was a standout system though. I miss new games for it.

휘성

I'm not sure I'm really liking this trend. Each company so far is making very few PS3 and 360 games, and a ton of games for portable systems. Which means companies didn't move to "next-gen" systems, they just moved to portables.

creid

Phantasy Star Portable = yes.

휘성

@Lyrai: Generic but it grabbed the hell out of my attention.

Cakey4242564

That's a very disappointing line up of games compared to Sega of the Dreamcast era.

photoboy

yakuza 3? first ive heard of it.

bubassi

I'm not sure you can get more generic for a PC game than "Internet Adventure"

It's like some deep metajoke. I actually want to see more of this game.

Lyrai

@BelYaun: You obviously have never heard of World Destruction.

jeffx

I can see myself wasting away with Phantasy Star Zero.

MightyHealthy

Hope the new Shiren DS isn't an inferior port like the last one was. The revival of step-by-step saves would be nice, too... though that's probably asking for a bit too much.

muu

...so no Skies of Arcadia sequel or anything or value

BelYaun

@EvilMetsFan: This is so ignorant I don't know where to begin. By the same token, home consoles should be the focus because not everyone wants to play on a 6" screen instead of 42".

creid

Where in the world is Aliens Colonial Marines?

cartoonsmart

@EvilMetsFan: That is a different story. And that is actually a (exaggerated) fact, as opposed to "not everyone has time for a console system," which is just irrelevant.

creid

I'm more excited about Bayonetta than anything else for the next year. I mean it's from the Clover, who made two of my favourite games of the last generation, which were both radically different from each other. God Hand still holds up there as one of my favourite action games, and it hasn't been topped by either of the major Next-Gen titles. I really really can't wait!

XanderSan

Still no fucking Skies of Arcadia?

Xyther

@creid: How is this ignorant? Or should they ignore the fact that 1 in 3 people worldwide will have a DS in the next couple of years?

Handheld gaming is a FAD!
/sarcasm

EvilMetsFan

With the exception of Bayonetta, everything else is just plain bland and mediocre. Especially Sonic Unleashed. Lord help us all with that one.

acez2087

@Lyrai:
Internet Adventure will be awesome.
It'll have porn, cats saying things in poor english, porn, flame wars, porn, viruses, porn, crappy puzzle games, porn, crappy sonic sprite comics...Oh, and porn, of course.

MR. FAP☆FAP!

@dowingba: Still, 11 games vs. 3-5? Bad news.

creid

I know it wouldn't really be appropriate for a TGS, but I really wish Sega would start showing off Aliens: Colonial Marines. Starting to get worried after they yanked it from E3...

megahurtz

@Cakey4242564:Huh? This grabbed the hell out of your attention?

It seems like an online amusement park or something with a look to match its name...

Heidern

Another year, another TGS without Daytona USA or After Burner Climax.

:{

db2

Ok then let's try this. Developing for the PSP and DS are loads easier AND less expensive than developing for the 360 and the PS3. That and there a lot more of them out there maximizing there profits. That's probably more relevant for you right?

EvilMetsFan

I'm still hoping that Sonic Unleashed will be good.

Wait. WAIT.
I just looked at the list again...

The Arrangement of Haruhi Suzumiya

...

DO WANT!

Ska-Chan

No Daytona USA 3= full of fucking fail. If Sega ignores the original Daytona USA's 15th anniversary next year, I'll be sad as hell.

And no, I'm not interested in Bayonetta or Mad World. Not my cup of tea, sorry...

twinturbo2

@creid: Relax. These companies aren't going to stop making console games. And more and more people prefer portable games now-a-days. Especially in Japan. They're also cheaper to make and they sell more copies.

dowingba

No Shenmue or Jet Set Radio... :(

kid6488

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva

this is what i'm looking forward for.

tsukasa1288

@twinturbo2: Yeah I would love a new Daytona USA but only if they do it properly and it runs at a full 60 FPS like the arcade originals. Sega Rally Revo was just a huge disappointment, Sega Rally 2 and the original Daytona USA in the arcades are still my faves.

@megahurtz: Yes me too. I'm a big Aliens and Sega fan so when I saw pics of that game in an Xbox 360 mag last year my chest nearly bursted from joy. Also I've not heard anything about the Alien RPG other than that they are "making" it. An Alien RPG sounds silly anyway, I just can't see how it would work unless it plays out in real time like say Mass Effect but still....

Vixtro

I'm going to TGS. I'm thinking of making a t-shirt saying "I want Shenmue III" and wear it right in front of Sega!

BillyLee

@Ska-Chan: Werehog. Werehog. Werehog. Werehog. Werehog.

dowingba

I know that Sega makes a lot of different kinds of games, but I just can't get past the thought of them simply being that company which pumps out shitty Sonic the Hedgehog games.

Quilt

What the... what's that '428' in the Wii section? 0_o

Ravenhood

@creid:

EvilMetsFan got it on the money. You should be happy if it's more quality titles and less shovelware ala Wii.

Consoles aren't abandoned, yet.

-Scrixx-

Seventh Dragon
Phantasy Star Zero
Phantasy Star Portable (yes, it's already out, but it's still awesome and not in the US)
Culdecept DS
Shining Force Feather
Hatsune Miku

An awesome line-up so far. Kinda wish they had more PSP games to show, though. Garnet Chronicle sounds curious, as does "Internet Adventure."

SEGA could be awesome and have "Internet Adventure" be something like a SEGAGAGA for the internet.

Do Kesubei

@Gigaheart:

...And a home port of Afterburner Climax. Thanks.

Mentuss

@Ravenhood: "4" (yon, or shi) "2" (ni, fu or bu) "8" (hachi, or ya) -> Shibuya

It's another one of Chunsoft's visual adventure novels, don't expect it to come to the states any time soon.

muu

Maybe Im crazy, but for ages now ive been hoping and praying for sega to announce a true sequal to Phantasy Star 4(yes, I know they said they would never make another, but meh)

Alas though, year after year I remain disappointed. Yet the hope remains this year with all the new Phantasy Star material out these days, could they be holding back a major Phantasy Star announcement....like the true 5th installment on the PS3 or X360(or both)I can dream, right?

As for what they have announced, looks good to me. Sonic Unleashed actually looks like a good throwback to what made the game so great in the past and Bayonetta looks like bulletwitch on crack(I liked bulletwitch so thats a good thing)

Not too fond of portable gaming(have a DS, use it for a dictionary, have a PSP, use it for a dust collector)so not to interested in those as well as the typical Wii shovelware I see in the list.

So basically, hoping for some big announcements.

RuneX21

@-Scrixx-: Because the console ones take longer to make...

Schu

@creid: What's the betting those 3 games cost just as much to develop as all 11?

quen

@MR. FAP☆FAP!: Sir, this game already exists!

[en.wikipedia.org]

BEHOLD!

Solaricide

What kind of name is 'Internet Adventure'? I can't think of a more generic title.

Narishma

@MR. FAP☆FAP!: That made my day.

NiuuS

@dowingba: I'm not sure simply saying they're cheaper will get the point across to him. They're cheaper by a factor of 10 to 100. Console games are expensive. The advertising cost alone are in the 10's of millions not to mention how much it cost to hire a dev team that's around 50 to 200 people over a period of 2 to 4 years. People aren't just blowing wind up the the ass when they say the business model is unsustainable.

okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under)

If Capcom could do such a great job with Bionic Commando remake, how about a Streets of Rage remake?

shittorainbow

@Gigaheart:

shittorainbow

No Daytona USA, no sale.

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

I'm praying for Virtua Fighter 5: R console information.

KrsJin

Interesting line-up so far... though I would kill for a new Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone, or Jet Radio.

Jason144

@creid: I declare EvilMetsFan the winner.

TheGuilty1

@Xyther: I bet you weren't one of the 5 people who bought it back in the day. I'm sick of this.

K_K

@db2: I feel your pain... :-(

twinturbo2

@dowingba: You: Obsessive. Obsessive. Obsessive. Obsessive.

The werehog is the most interesting aspect of the game to me. The day segments just look as shallow and uninspired as the kiddie pool.

Erinaceus

5 chapters of Blazer Drive warrants a game... already?
Its that darn awesome I tell you.

shinratech_13

It's sad to see sega becoming the next THQ. Not that I mind THQ, but when you have history and some of the best IP in videogame history, shoveling out DS RPG's that few people really care about and licensed anime shovelware is a huge step backwards.

raiseplease

@raiseplease: THWho? I miss the old days of Sega when they could challenge Nintendo head-on, and put up a good fight. Now they're just Sammy's little boy, to do with whatever they please. :/

Karisu-Zero

What, no news on Aliens: Colonial Marines?

guspaz

Haruhi on the Wii AND DS?! Awesomeness. Because the DS isn't region-locked. (Although, I'll have to find a decent place to import it, as this will be the first game I'll do so with.)

And Sega abandoned Panzer Dragoon and Shenmue because, while they were wonderful, they just weren't making the company any money. :(
