New Sega console?

[-Azrael666-]

Do you think there will be, or should be, another Sega console developed and produced sometime in the future? If so, how long in the future, and why do you believe so? If not, why do you think there won't be, or shouldn't be? As much supporting information as you can come up with is welcome.

sega should make games, thats all i ask from them

[Pains Requiem]

SO Diatenshi.. you want them to bring back the original Sega or the Dreamcast and make games, or what?

I think the Sega Saturn should be brought back. That system had a few killer games for its time, like Gex and Panzer Dragoon, and Sonic 3D. The Sega was hugly popular when it was around, so maybe a new platform for it would do it justic.

Nintendo: Gamecube, Revolution, N64, Gb, GBA, DS, NES, SNES

sony: ps1, ps2, ps3, PSP

microsoft: xbox, computer software, XBOX360

sega: saturn, genesis, dreamcast, Genesis X

I want to see this soon..

I hope you mean Genesis That would be really awesome, I'd but it the day it came out. If they did some really good advertising, and waited until PS3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Revolution died down, I don't see why the Genesis X wouldn't be huge.

Maybe they could figure out a way to pull gamers away from these mini-computers that are being developed and make something cheap. I think if they made a high quality system which cost relatively little compared to these new beasts coming out, they could really steal a lot of the gaming market back for consoles.

i meant make games for the other systems...

like making sonic and such, for the 3 systems out right now

[Pains Requiem]

no, i really mean the Saturn. Bring back all the Panzer Dragoon games for it. The Saturn first had the Panzer Dragoons on its system until Nintendo put it on Gamecube.

[-Azrael666-]

I think they should bring back more than just the Saturn games though. Genesis had some of the best Sega games on it, ever. If they do make a new console, making updated versions of their old games doesn't seem like a bad idea whatsoever.

[Pains Requiem]

Remaking ANY Panzer Dragoon game will be worth it to me. That was my favorite game on the Saturn, no matter how times i beat it, it was always challenging.

At the time, the graphics nwere amazing, and some of the scenerios in that game were marvelous. And pretty detailed.

Sega folded as a hardware developing company. So no

[Pains Requiem]

my favorite level.. the sky was kinda pink and it had all the white-ish pink orbs floating everywhere. so pretty..





GAWD i am so buying a Saturn and getting PD Zwei

oh... nostalgia..

Personally, I think if they want to get back in the console wars, they'd be better off starting with handhelds. The DS and PSP are nothing too remarkable as it is, and if that's the quality of handhelds they put out in the future, Sega could easily make a handheld system that'd blow them out of the water. I think if they focused more on gaming, and less on cell phone compatibility, downloads, ROMs, media, MP3s, and all the other crap that there are already devices for, they'd be ahead of their competitors in that area, and get a good reputation again plus their name back out on the market.

They did. See, Segas thing is they were always way ahead of the times. Dreamcast prooved that. That and Game Gear. It would be YEARS later until Nintendo finally made a handheld that had the 128 colors that the GameGear had.

Theoritaclly(spelling) the GameGear was better than the GB at that time in every way, except the battery usage. It had better hardware, better controls (debateable...kinda) and a better game selection (again, debatable...) but it flopped because they didn't market it enough.

Segas problem had always been the market. They never marketed any of their shit good enough. The would market a key game or two, and the system. Meanwhile, Nintendo or Sony would market 100's of games, and hardly ever market the system itself.

Shame Sega's hardware company had to fold like it did. They were the Genius' of the gaming community

Sega was always ahead of the time, but as Souless has said, they failed in marketing. I read an article with someone from Sega where he said they spent too little money on marketing.

I think they should never get back into the console business, they've tried...what 3 times to bring out a console (handheld and home-system) and failed. I see no business gains for them, especially with such a bad reputation.

sega has some good games, but seirously, ever since the end of the sega genises, all there gaming systems have sucked ass...

no they tried 4 times (sega master system, sega genesis, sega saturn, sega dreamcast) and two handhelds that folded.

Sega is not coming back. They wouldn't even be able to make roms due to copyright with other companys. cause of course any morons know ROMS ARE ILLEGAL.

...i think u forgot 2 more... sega genesis 32x (technically a new system) and sega cd...

32x and Cd were add ons to try and make Genesis better than it was.

[Icedragon]

yes thats true they wernt whole no systems even though they did add games... As for myself i always liked segas consoles they were always good no matter how out dated... They were fun and for the most part had fun games sega just gets something good going then kills it

[SouLess]

Unfortunatly, Final Fantasy VI, or maybe Sonic I suck because the graphincs arn't uber.

Right. Because graphics defines how good the game is.

[Emperor Pan I]

When sega made Saturn, you knew they were finished as hardware company.
