>"We did a focus group here in San Francisco, I'm trying to think what year this would be, probably late 2001, early 2002, because I needed to prove to the Japanese that our brand was starting just to fade away. And so we asked the focus group, a bunch of 18-, 19-year-olds, a classic question, 'If a video game publisher was a relative or a friend, who would they be?' Ah, EA. Arrogant quarterback, 6'5”, walks in, gets the girl, nobody likes him, blah blah blah, but, you know, fills the room with his big personality, all that. I can hear it now. Rockstar. Ah – that's your drunken uncle that shows up from Vegas once a month with a hooker on his arm and looking for money and then he's gone again. He comes in and he's the life of the party for a little while, and then he disappears for a long time. Sega. Yeah, that's your grandad. Used to be cool, but even he can't remember why anymore."

>"We filmed all of these, right? I packaged this up, and I said, 'This is our our manifesto for the future.' So we make a huge presentation in Japan, and I said, 'We need to be incredibly aware of the challenges we face as a brand at Sega,' you know, and so I play the video. Yuji Naka, Naka-san, maker of Sonic, is in the room. Now, he and I have a love/hate relationship on a good day. And we show him this, and it's subtitled in Japanese, and when it comes to that piece he just [slams his hand on the table], 'This is ridiculous. You have made them say this. Sega is the great brand, nobody would ever say this, you have falsified!' He just gets in my face. So I said to the translator, 'Tell him to fuck off.' And the poor guy looks at me and says, 'There's no expression in Japanese.' I said, 'I know there is.' And that was it. That was the last time I ever set foot in there."

Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Sega wasn't even THE BEST EVAR at the absolute best of times.

Even at their highest, most positive reputation, they were always the lovable underdog.

Even the most die-hard Sega fanboy has to admit they're kinda screw-ups these days.
>>
>>373243516
That fucking piece of shit is the fucking reason why SEGA was seen as a "grandpa" in the first place, instead of bringing all the cool JRPG that where the shit in the mid 90s he decided to only put sport and actions games on the Saturn, in Japan the Saturn was head to head with the PlayStation because all of the amazing games it had.
Peter Moore can go and die choking on a dick along Liverpool.
Liverpool of all places FUCKING KEK they go hand to hand

>>373244795

He had nothing to do with the Saturn. The Saturn was already failing and SEGA hired Peter to come in and help them launch the Dreamcast.

Peter Moore truly was the end of Sega. You can claim bad business decisions all you want but the fucker literally handed Sega IPs to Microsoft as he went to work with them after ditching Sega.

>Telling someone to fuck off

Okay, that's a way to instantly lose respect for me.

I'm not saying Sega's perfect either, they're struggling and they're barely standing. They remind me of an old man with Alzheimer. Some times, I even question their decisions and reasonings. That doesn't mean they haven't made some solid games, but some of them are also tremendously overrated. Their consoles were solid too while it lasted. I don't think they have any plans to make a comeback either what with all the competition.

Nowadays, all I care about them now is fucking Puyo Puyo (for some reason, I can't even get myself excited for a modern Sonic game nowadays) and that wasn't even theirs to begin with. And only just now they've decided to launch anything overseas even though it's a popular series in Japan for instance.

Sonic was already autistic furfag territory by then, of course people would tell them to fuck off with their GOTTAGOFAST blue hedgehog.

Sega Japan and USA have always hated each other, though. US is a PC publisher and Japan are Sony's bitches, just like everyone else in the Japanese game industry.

Yuji Naka is not a respectable figure anyways. He was an arrogant child that would throw a tantrum if he didn't get his way. It's not surprising that someone didn't take his shit and told him to fuck off.

Sega of the early 90s was a thing of beauty in how they capitalized on all of Nintendo's mistakes and fumbles. Shame they started shooting themselves in the face starting around 1994 and just kept going downhill from there.

Virtually nothing matched Sega's attack ads on Nintendo during the 16 bit wars. I had a SNES before I got a Genesis years later and I still thought the ads were hilarious.

Let me clear up some confusion
I, me, am not the guy who said they lost respect for Peter Moore

I'm talking to you--or that other guy--that respect is not important

If you disagree, you're devoid of morals; devoid of being a functioning human capable of reason
Respect is everything--if you don't receive respect, it's because you don't show it enough
If anyone isn't worth shit, consider it as a fact that it'd be yourself as you lack respect--respect for yourself

You keep throwing around how "if you're not worth anything, your respect means nothing"
I'm explaining that you need to take yourself, the being that lacks respect for oneself, out of the equation
You are the problem, there's nothing wrong with the reasoning I'm attempting to get across to you
You need to be corrected on this and if you desire to ignore it, let me end on saying that I am trying to get through to you on a personal level and not as some intelligent blue box on on your screen, giving you a (You)

You don't even have to respond to me, just acknowledge what I'm saying

It's important

Insane that he could think that during 2001/2002. That's 14 years after their only successful console and in the midst of two consecutive failures. After making the most expensive game(Shenmue) made only 1 million sales and their main IP, Sonic smaller than multiple IPs of third party and competing(Nintendo, Sony) IP.

Sega of Japan hated Sega of America for being much more successful than them so they were going out of their way to cockblock them even though it hurt the company as a whole.

This infighting lasted all the way to the 2000s where SoJ purposely let the English language versions of PSO and PSU burn rather than actually keep them up to date with patches and events. Now they simply don't release English versions of new games in the series at all because fuck you.

>>373259070
Why are they so stupid though? Is the company run by corrupt salarymen?
>>
>>373259176

They're rushed out garbage all the way since Sonic 1. The only reason the original trilogy is held in high regard is because they were programmed by Yuji Naka back when he gave a shit. The game had a nice physics system that allowed for the pinball gameplay to shine that no other platformer has managed to replicate.

There's no fucking mystery to it. That's all there is to it. Now fuck offf.
>>
Didn't Yu Suzuki or someone from Sega tell someone from Microsoft recently "don't bully Japanese developers"? In regards to Scalebound?
>>
>>373259479
I doubt you'll find a Japanese company that isn't run by corrupt salarymen.
Sonic Team of now has virtually nobody (or probably nobody at all) of the original group that did work on Sonic 1, and Sonic 2 and 3&K were partly developed by Sega Technical Institute which was a US branch. I doubt that there's even anybody there from the Sonic Adventure days at this point.

Launching the Saturn months earlier than they told their third parties, and at a price point that was high enough to Sony to immediately destroy them at that very E3 they announced it at by just saying "299 dollars" as the Saturn was 400.
Letting Bernie Stolar further destroy the Saturn in the US by refusing almost every Japanese 2D game and RPG to come out for it, then refusing to release the 4 meg cart later for Capcom's fighting games.

Sonicfag here. I can confirm that these statements are true. It should also be mentioned that Izuka is the reason that Sonic Mania is going to be using rehashed level themes instead of every single one of them being new like Studiopolis. Whitehead wanted all of it to be new, but Izuka insisted that the likes of Green Hill Zone be brought in.
>>
>>373259070
Mania though.
>>
>>373258950
That's an easy one. It's because they don't know how to interpret what it is that fans want. For example, they heard that fans had some trouble keeping Sonic under control when moving at high speed, so they "fixed" it by giving Sonic a fucking run button, which is an unforgivable sin in my opinion when designing a Sonic the Hedgehog game.

Mania is practically a fan-game, and it's really pathetic that their "good" Sonic game is just old 2D Sonic that Sega themselves didn't even make themselves.

Their version of that idea was Sonic 4 which was, again, laughable.

They should just hire nothing but outside talent from now on. The new 3D game is pathetic. Should've thrown money at Utopia.

I like Utopia as much as the next guy, but Forces looks like it'll be fine from what we've seen. Besides, it'll be on PC, meaning it's gonna get modded out the wazoo! I'm looking forward to that for sure.

Also, one could argue that, as long as there is passion in the game that you're producing, every game is a "fangame."
>>
>>373263040
Wow sounds like you will take anything you'll get. This is what I'm talking about. Your favorite series has been bad for so long, you just smile and say, "Could be worse, I guess!"

I guess Sega has no incentive to try very hard with Sonic. They can put forth a tiny amount of effort, and all the same people keep their same salaries while the fans are just used to it and accept it.

>Bad for so long
How do you figure? Colors was good, Generations was great, Lost World was... Well, it was a disasterpiece, but that's exactly why I'm, at the very least, hopeful for Forces. Sure, it's not ideal, as I would have liked to see a return to the Adventure formula where the player had a bit more freedom, but I've learned that, with Sonic Team, it's best to hope for baby steps.

In other words, I don't trust them to take TWO big steps forward after the huge step back that was Lost World. One step forward is fine by me for now.

I expect something substantial after Forces, though.

>>373263510
It should be noted that Utopia is, so far, just in demo stages. The sandbox they showcased is not indicative of the direction they want to go with the project. It was merely to demonstrate how the physics and gameplay work. In the finished game, should it ever release, would be more linear and objective-based.

>>373264017
From what I can tell, Mania came about as the result of SEGA giving Whitehead and crew more and more freedom with each port they released. They let them put Tails in CD, they let them make a whole new zone for Sonic 2 and now they're letting them make a whole new title (with some limitations, of course such as there being more reimagined levels than original ones.)

Never say never, I say. I used to think we'd never see a Sonic game with satisfying physics again, but Mania's proving me wrong. If 2D Sonic can make a comeback after Sonic 4, then 3D Sonic can make a comeback as well.

All it would take is for Izuka to step down and for Whitehead to step up, Then Whitehead brings in the Utopia team and the Green Hill Paradise guy for good measure.

>The product, dubbed the "Play Station" was to be announced at the May 1991 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). However, when Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi read the original 1988 contract between Sony and Nintendo, he realized that the earlier agreement essentially handed Sony complete control over any and all titles written on the SNES CD-ROM format. Yamauchi decided that the contract was totally unacceptable and he secretly cancelled all plans for the joint Nintendo-Sony SNES CD attachment.

>After the collapse of the joint-Nintendo project, Sony briefly considered allying itself with Sega to produce a stand-alone console. The Sega CEO at the time, Tom Kalinske, took the proposal to Sega's Board of Directors in Tokyo, who promptly vetoed the idea. Kalinske, in a 2013 interview recalled them saying "that’s a stupid idea, Sony doesn't know how to make hardware. They don’t know how to make software either. Why would we want to do this?"

It's also residual trauma latent in the company itself. Sega stood for "Service Games", you know. They had history of being patriots.

He wasn't wrong. The SEGA Genesis was still a hot seller and there was still plenty of software being developed for it. SOJ axed it entirely in favor of going full force with Saturn advertisement. This single move guaranteed Nintendo winning the 4th gen with the SNES. The SNES was still getting games in 95 and 96. Some of the best games on the platform came out that year.

Everyone knows Japan Sega fucked over everything America Sega did even though it was them that made them a success in the first place. This is nothing new. Sega JP have a lot of Yakuza in their ranks so giving some underlings control especially gaijins will be disgraceful.

And the sad fact is Sega is still the same today. Sega JP just gave some control to America Sega but it is still the same. Remember when Sega JP copyrighted all videos, deleted channels in Youtube?

not milking the Genesis is considered to be a pretty big mistake considering Sega held the lion's share of the market in the US at the time
seriously -- it was pretty much free money (well, maybe -- some of the really big name SNES games were coming out at this time)

and fuck, dropping Game Gear was kind of dumb -- it sucked batteries and whatnot, but it was doing far better than any other not-Nintendo handheld until the fucking PSP, and was gaining in popularity
could have had a more compact, less power-sucking revision

although, maybe it was for the best, since Pokemon actually fucked up all the competition Nintendo had for like a good five years

>>373270178
Mid-80s into early-90s Sega put out some of the most iconic games ever, shit like Space Harrier, After Burner, Virtua Fighter, Daytona.They pushed the envelope bringing games with bleeding edge graphics regularly for years.
Sega pretty much ruled the arcades, with Namco being pretty close by.
At home, Sega held something like 60% of the market by 1994 in the States.

>>373270721
32X seemed like a good idea since it let them 1: push the cost of an SVP-style device into a single unit, providing better value to customers (and higher margins for Sega) than producing several $100 games, each with expansion hardware, 2: allow other developers to use the tech, and 3: add more color to the machine, which was something that was requested since the Sega CD (which couldn't, since it didn't have direct screen access like the 32X).

would have made more sense if they didn't rush everything and then kill the Genesis completely, it's not like people didn't want 32Xs at the start (seriously, remember that "60% of the US market" bit above? enhancing the genesis seemed like a much better idea with that in mind)

>That sounds ominous. What was it about?
Everybody flew into New York City and we were all at the W Hotel. It's a meeting that I certainly shall never forget. It's a meeting that I've used both as an analogy and example of forethought and strategic planning. But it was alarming. The first slide was an oil rig in the North Sea, and the second slide was [explosion noise] Deepwater Horizon going up. And the analogy of The Burning Platform is that, you know, you can have something that's on fire, and you can hang out there for a while, but eventually it's gonna burn to the ground, or it's gonna, in this instance, sink into the sea. You can choose to take matters in your own hands, or you can hold your nose and jump. John said, 'We're jumping. We're seeing the future. The future is moving towards digital. The future is moving towards the fact that the gamer is in control. We're not simply pushing out a message. We're gonna engage with our community in a deeper way. And all that's gonna cost money. We're gonna have a tough couple of years as we invest in database management, customer service and community management.' All of the seeds of what EA is today were laid out and planted in that meeting in August of 2007.

coincidentally, this was when EA became the worst company many years in a row

They were pulling their shit together so well with the Dreamcast. My friend had a Dreamcast and we were sue this shit was the future of gaming. Then Sony came along and suddenly it was all about the DVD player for mom. Fucking cheap tactic that was like changing the rules of football in the middle of the game.

The only thing that's sucks about is how much wastes potential the game had when it first wad announced. I play it on jap servers, I don't think the game sucks, even with it's shit state right now it could still be good overseas, however it's so obvious how much better that game would be doing of had localized like it should have by ep1 or 2

Sonic was and still is good.

The platformers hold up better than most of the well received platformers from the same era.

Sonic Mania will remind these Nintendo/Sony fanboy reviewers of the fact when it comes out this year.
>>
>>373280024
Half in half, sonic is good and magical win your a kid and can ignore the flaws of the games. If you didn't get into his games in childhood, then you probably missed out and may never see them as good. Still give them a try I guess, just know they are by no means perfect.

Dawn of War was turned into a pseudo MOBA focused on lanes and team games and Total War has become a shallow DLCfest to the point where they turned their planned expansions into full priced games so they can charge more for them without fixing the core gameplay.

Cause MS were the only ones willing to pay for them and signed an 11 game exclusive deal while Sony was far less forthcoming. Sega had to license games to Acclaim at first to dev on PS2 and GC (Which were ported by Acclaim's UK Studio) before Sony and Nintendo gave them a license and kits.

>>373246896
>they should make like a movie or something that retells the story of sega when they were in the console market. i swear some of the retarded shit they did is fucking hilarious and sad

Sony Pictures bought the rights to a book about it with Seth Rogen's production company making it but it stalled because Rogen wants to make it a TV series instead and Nintendo doesn't really want to co-operate because Nintendo didn't exactly come across great and Sony gets railed in the book for trying to welch on contracts (Nintendo and Sega sued and won) and destroying SEGA's hotel display at the E3 before "the price heard around the world" that Sony might try whitewash its history.

It's probably going to remain in development hell while Sony Pictures is completely fucked.

Atari was just insane. Time Warner literally had no idea what they were buying till the suits walked into the offices and the place stunk of weed. Then found out they were overshipping and spending like crazy.

Goddamn, sega. Hell, when it was first announced, it was practically the Wii's swan song. Instead it ended up being a zombie title like those shmup games on dreamcast.

The Mega CD had awesome scaling rotation hardware.

Basically Core Design truly used it.

Batman Returns awesome driving levels, Thunderhawk, Soul Star, Battlecorps, Jaguar XJ make you weep at the sea of shitty FMV games.

It boggles my mind they never made ports of Space Harrier, Galaxy Force, Power Drift, and OutRun for the Mega CD. Would have helped it alot.

The Geneis was the third best selling hardware of the 4th generation. Both the SNES and Gameboy beat it.
>>
>>373299662
In Europe the Master System and Megadrive easily beat the NES and SNES.

In the UK no one gave a fuck about Nintendo, no one I knew had a Nintendo console. Sega ruled the arcades which were a huge influence on the home games market.
>>
>>373299662

SNES only overtook Genesis in 1995 because of Nintendo going deep on price cuts with the system and older titles and while dropping amazing games since the end of 1994 right up till the end of 1995 including the best console conversion of Mortal Kombat 3 (Sony bought an exclusive to keep MK3 off the Saturn. PS1 had higher quality assets but Input lag, missing animations and long load times hurt it hard), Killer Instinct which people thought was impossible to port from the arcade, DOOM, Yoshi's Island, DKC 2. It was just a wealth of amazing games coming off the year before which had FF VI, Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid.

Nintendo won, but it took a lot of effort to beat Sega in the long run that generation and they still lost Europe to Sega.

That image kinda reminds me of how misguided the entire Sonic X-Treme project was.

Like, this was supposed to be the Saturn's answer to the 64's Mario 64 and the Playstation's Crash Bandicoot, and yet unlike those games they couldn't even bother give the game full polygonal 3D models, just a tacky 2.5D sprite style.

Sonic World in Sonic Jam is definitely how I'd imagine a proper 3D Sonic game for Saturn would look. Apparently it was a prototype for what would end up as Sonic Adventure.

X-Treme is the best example of blind fanboyism

The game looks unfun, slow, shit, nauseating, boring and it's hardly a Sonic game at all and yet "fans" cry that the game will never see an official release because it'd have turned Saturn into a best selling console

Fucking lol

Doesn't even showcase the capabilities of Saturn outside of fish-eye lens. The only thing X-treme would achieve is a cozy place among the worst games ever made right next to Sonic '06
