Is Sega dare i say it....BACK?!

>>382104814
Who?

No still we wait for the Dreamcast 2.0

Well the decided to actually take in life long fans of Sonic to make a new 2D game, so they're doing something right.

>>382104814
Mania looks promising but in the same swift movement they ruined my hope with Forces.
They are still trash no one will pay attention to.

Not after Yakuza 6

>>382105214
That actually makes them more relevant because there are people who actually care about price hike.

You can't say the same to SEGA. Who plays and talks about R2:TW or Rome Total War Barbarian Invasion 2 nowadays?

LMAO.

>>382104814
Bring back Phantasy Star, then we can talk.

>>382105962
Get Phantasy Star 2 on mobile and pay 2 dollars for no ads and maybe they will.

>>382104978
Just Sonic Team. Sonic Team's needed a refresh for years. You can tell they just don't give a shit.

That would be Namco I'm afraid. SEGA are number two, which is still good though. Outside Japan, SEGA do very well in arcades.

Oh fucking wow it gets better

>Unfortunately, the execution has left something to be desired. Following the launch of Sega Forever last week, players have taken to the App Store and Google Play to complain about choppy frame rates, out-of-sync audio, and input lag, even on high-end devices like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel. Ars' own testing yielded similarly poor results, with none of the games reaching the required 60FPS of the original Megadrive (Genesis) hardware.

>Sega's performance issues stem from the use of a new emulator based in Unity. Older mobile versions of retro Sega games were either direct ports—as in the case of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic CD—or used a native emulator, instead of one passed through Unity.

>Speaking to Eurogamer, Sega Networks' chief marketing officer Mike Evans blamed "fragmentation" for the wobbly launch, and defended its use of Unity instead of an alternative emulation method.

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

A few of the launch games were ported to mobile in fucking 2009 and they were literally roms running in an in-house emulator, and they RAN PERFECTLY FINE

How the FUCK do you relaunch those games but make them WORSE? How fucking stupid and incompetent do you have to be? They literally could've just re-released the old ports but with banner ads and it would be a better product than what they've given us. Un-fucking believable.

>>382108206
They were in talks with RetroArch devs to use one of the pre-cooked emulators, but got greedy and didn't want to pay them a lot or credit them.

I like the idea of Sega Forever, but it's clear they tried cutting a ton of corners to make their profits larger, and now it all blew up in their faces.

>>382104986
Tencent?

>>382108435
It just blows my fucking mind that THEY ALREADY HAD AN EXISTING EMULATOR THAT DID THE JOB PERFECTLY FINE and they didn't re-use it.

they'll be back when they fucking localize ishin and kenzan

>>382108939
This. The moment I see an actual Phantasy Star game that is not an MMO is the moment my faith and long hibernating childhood fanboyism of Sega will be renewed.
