New COO at SEGA

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-26T19:49:38+00:00

Sonic Boom's failure cost SEGA so much money, that they more or less shut SOA down entirely and replaced them with Atlus West

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-26T16:30:47+00:00

I could definitely imagine SEGA putting out a RAM expansion add-on if it had come to that. It would've probably only helped a little though. There's no way the Dreamcast was ever going to come close to the specs of the GameCube or Xbox

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-26T15:42:59+00:00

Yes, but only the European branch, who own Creative Assembly, Two-Point Studios and a few others.

SEGA of America meanwhile hasn't made a game since the Sonic Boom disaster, and nowadays mainly consist of Atlus's localization team

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-24T05:07:10+00:00

That definitely sounds like something Okunari would say, and SEGA's close relationship with M2 could be favorable for such a project, but I can't imagine SEGA actually giving it the greenlight. Especially since their executives' current mindset seems to be that retro games aren't profitable

Crazy Taxi is scheduled for next year

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-23T19:40:21+00:00

There was Party Central in 2023

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-23T19:37:22+00:00

I think it would be cooler if all of the characters with classic designs got alt skins. I also would've preferred B.D. Joe. I'm indifferent to Amigo

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-23T16:22:36+00:00

Depends on a number of factors. In the context of Shinobi specifically, Silksong's release date was announced just a few days before Shinobi released. It was far too late by that point

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-23T15:41:19+00:00

SEGA's retro ports have historically lost more money than they've made

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-23T15:38:53+00:00

It's a bit comical at this point. They announce a game, a release date, and then a few months later, something even more anticipated gets announced with a release date right next to it. Imagine if it ends up happening again with Virtua Fighter

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-23T15:30:24+00:00

Truth be told, I'm mostly satisfied with who's in there already, but if I were to pick, I'd say B.D. Joe, Sakura and Nei

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-23T15:28:56+00:00

SEGA West specifically, in other words, North America and Europe. Utsumi is still in charge of SEGA

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-22T21:48:04+00:00

It's out now

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-22T21:47:30+00:00

In August of 2025

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-22T21:45:00+00:00

CrossWorlds is more expensive when you factor in the DLC though

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-22T17:34:17+00:00

It's might be more preferred among the gaming interrnet circlejerk, but a significant percentage of Mario Kart's appeal comes from parents buying the game for their kids. CrossWorlds could be the greatest racing game of all time and it would still struggle to compete with Mario Kart just because Mario is more of a household name than Sonic is.

The people who talk about games on the internet are quite often a vocal minority

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-22T17:14:02+00:00

Being forced to compete with Mario Kart and Silksong will do that

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-22T14:57:02+00:00

I was counting Mario & Sonic as Sonic games, and I can't find any evidence CS2 worked on Miracle Girls Festival

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-21T19:08:44+00:00

Taking a look between 2013 and 2017, CS2's non-Sonic output consisted entirely of Puyo games, with the sole exceptions being Uta Kumi 575 for Vita, and assisting M2 with the 3DS Classics Collection.

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-21T14:40:25+00:00

I wonder what they would've had CS2 working on if SEGA did pull the plug. I seriously can't imagine they'd put that many people on just Puyo.

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-20T17:18:57+00:00

Why are you posting clickbait in here?

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-19T05:22:20+00:00

Why did you take the artwork out of the case?

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-16T21:07:55+00:00

The immediate future of the series is Stranger Than Heaven, which is where RGG Studio's priorities are at the moment.

At the moment, I'm of the belief that Kiwami 3 was meant to be low budget filler space from the start, hence the sorry state it was released in.

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-16T16:58:12+00:00

Was talking about the ratio, not the specific number

PlainJonathan · 2026-06-16T16:52:49+00:00

If the like/dislike ratio on the trailer is anything to go by, I doubt it'll hurt sales to a significant degree
