"FINISH HIM!" Sega's Chance To Rise Yet Again!
CharlieKun | 8:22 AM on 09.22.2009 9 comments


JS\DKCJSDLOCSJDVKFNKV... Sorry, I just had to wipe my keyboard with a cloth because of the drool that I dripped all over it after reading the leaked Sega document. I must say, if this is true, which i think it is, then this is Sega's big chance! Their Excalibur, or maybe, their Soul Calibur!? :O
I myself was raised a Sega kid. My older brother bought Sega's line of consoles as we were growing up. Megadrive, Saturn & Dreamcast were all in my household on each owns day of release. So you could imagine I contemplated doing a backflip off my balcony when we heard Sega was to stop all hardware development. However, I soon came to accepting their logical decision.

Now we stand at this next turning point, with Sega about to sink their blue teeth into the PS3 with the possibility of Dreamcast games being released on the beast. Does this mean they can do what they see fit with the whole Dreamcast library? Or only the games they developed? I is not sure. What I do believe however, is that this is a chance for them to really blow the dolphins out of the sea. A thought crossed my mind: If they was to bundle Shenmue 1 & 2, onto one BlueRay Disc, (it wouldnt even need to be double layered) and released it for the ps3? Oh but wait, i just remembered it's going to be digital Dreamcast titles, so that means they will be releasing them via PSN? Still possible. BAM! Shenmue 1 on PSN, a month or two later, BAM! Shenmue 2 on PSN. Then, people who missed the legend of a game that is Shenmue, will be able to play and enjoy it. Can anyone guess the next step?



Yes-sir-ree , I reckon they could then start developing on a Shenmue 3, since one of their main reasons for not making a 3rd installment, was because not enough people played it and they would basically not profit financially from a 3rd game. However, I know this is still hoping high for this to happen. Realistically, Yakuza in my eyes is the spiritual successor to Shenmue, and thats already up to its 4th game coming soon. It sucks, but it always feels that the chance of a Shenmue 3 is just not going to occur. With this leaked press release though, those dreams of mine were stirred once more.
Well if we dont get to see Ryo Hazuki, ask around if anyone has seen a black car, then at least we'll get to play some of our old favourites again, possibly even in high definition.

aodcndjsdflmf;dsx... sorry, I drooled again when the thought of playing Tech Romancer crossed my mind. Playing that game over PSN at full volume, with the anime like soundtrack pulsing out of my speakers would be all i need for my University work to remain incomplete!

You know what made the Dreamcast so attractive for me? It was colorful and had a lot of Capcom badassery. I could also mean something great for the PlayStation because it has been bastly ignored by many reasons aside the initial price.

What I'm most excited about is the possibility of playing the games that were never released outside of Japan. Hopefully, this is something SEGA will pursue if this Dreamcast-games-on-the-PS3 thing turns out to be true.

@Monodi - Indeed good sir. Capcom blessed Sega with their line up of great games. :D

@Diverse - For definate, i sure hope so too. It said they will provide a list for sony to pick from, so i guess it boils down to sonys decisions.

I need Shenmue 3. I think Space Channel 5 would also be nice to have again.

It'd definitely be nice to see the PS3 have a few more "exclusives" even if they're re-releases. A lot of the new generation was never exposed to the wonders that were Dreamcast games; I was even late to the game getting a used system 2 years after they stopped development for it.

Anyway, the Dreamcast re-releases are what makes me cross my fingers for Sega.

SEGA being a third party publisher, I believe this digital DC game service on the PSN will go to the 360 eventually. It seems that Sony does have a tight deal with SEGA over this, but then again, 3rd party publishers will seek to make te most money.

Most likely Sony will have a long period of exclusivity (like the 360 had with the Fallout 3 DLC), and then, possibly the 360 gets the DC titles. However, the leaked document revealed a heck of a lot of dealings between the Sony and Sega, more than I would ever expect, so the possibility of fuull, permanent exclusivity is definitely real.

Whatever happens, this is very good news for people who loved/loves the DC.

Oh, and as a Yakuza fan, I don't think they'll ever be a Shemue 3, Yakuza seems to be similar to SHenme in a lot of ways, and is a financially sound series (in Japan anyway). A lot of people love Shenmue, but enough to warrant a fully fleged, expensive sequel? I don't think so,sadly. Shenmue series had an huge budget, and took down SEGA a notch or two after it's commercial failure. Yakuza, on the other hand, has been successful.

@ Mushman
I wouldnt be suprised if microsoft pushed this deal to reach their hands also, especially since their XBLA line up of games has done them very well.

Lol, i was hoping i was the only one who thought that shenmue 3 wont come because of yakuza. :( darn. i guess it is a longshot hoping for it
