Seriously. What in the fuck are all of their teams doing? It seems all we can expect now are yearly 2K3 sports games and the small list of releases, mostly ports or rehashes at that, that have been trickling out this year...
The question begs asking... WTF!?
I concur.
Xbox:
SpikeOut Extreme
PSO Episodes I&II
Virtua Cop 3
HOTD3
Outrun 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Gamecube:
F-Zero
Sonic Mega Collection
Virtua Fighter Quest
Sonic Adventure
PS2:
Shinobi
Sakura Taisen series
Virtual On Marz
Just off the top of my head. Plenty to look forward to, I don't see why you're complaining?
Sonic Team is supposed to be working on a PS2 game or something. Sonic 3 is coming too.
Anyone know then the Xbox version of PSO is slated for release?
Is that Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 on the Cube? SA2 is already out, but I thought I heard something a while back about SA1 being ported as well.
I'm talking about what's coming, what we haven't known about for a long time. Most of that will be here in 6 months or less, or out already.
I think they are all very tired from being the best set of development teams ever, pumping out great games for so long, on the most frequent basis of any of the biggest game companies. Very tired... sleepy. Eyes closed... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
*EThugg dreams wonderful dreams about Virtua Cop 3, Outrun, Nights 2, Sonic Adventure 3, Spikeout Online, Streets of Rage 4, VF4 Evolution*
16/01/2002 in Japan. US release can't be far off.Quote:

Have they allready made Sonic Advance 2? They're making a Shining game for GBA as well, right? Then there is Phantasy Star collection.
Yes.... because all companies reveal their fall lineup for the next year at this sort of time :bang:Quote:

Groovy. It better be budget-priced.Quote:

I could be mistaken but I don't think a platform was announced for the new Shining game, but it is officially coming out.
Sonic Advance 2 comes on on 19 December in Japan (my birthday, woo!)... There are many other cool GBA games to come like Sega Rally, Space Channel 5, Monkey Ball Jr, etc. :)
Also, Sega has said a few times that they will not be announcing future games as far in advance as they used to. The reason for that is that when they had their own platform they needed to announce the games as early as possible to convince people to buy hardware. Now that they are a 3rd party they want to keep it all closer to the vest to keep companies from stealing their ideas. If they announce a game too soon it gives the competition more time to copy and compete with it. Also, by holding off on premature announcements they can keep the anticipation higher for new games.
That's what Sega said on the subject anyway. Makes sense to me. I am sure all of Sega's development teams are working hard on something or other....
I could be mistaken but I don't think a platform was announced for the new Shining game, but it is officially coming out.
What about those pics of that Shining game for GBA. I think it was called Magical School or something.
Oh yeh?! I hope that's true.. maybe it was shown while I was moving a few weeks ago... Let me go investigate....
*** Investigation result: There is nothing about it on Sega of Japan's GBA site and I went to a Shining Force (Series) fan-page and they don't have any such game listed yet.
SpikeOut Extreme, I can't wait.
I am an idiot, because the release date confuses meQuote:

Is that sarcasm?
16th January 2002
no it was me being stupid
I thought it hadn't been released in Japan yet either
No it's me being retarded (I blame the Pikachu avatar)
2002 = 2003 oops. I'm tired so allow me.
I remember ages ago Yuji Naka made a comment about the next sonic game. Basically saying that it would not be like the sonic adventure games and that it would contain a "flawless camera system". Any more news on this?
Cube needs its own, made-from-the-ground-up sonic game imo. There are lots of ports of dc stuff that leaves a bitter after taste for fans of the dc who need a reason to really buy or get excited about thier gc. An original gc sonic like this could really give nintendo that much needed boost. Especially after the lukewarm response to SMS.
I'm hoping the rumours that the next 3D Sonic will be on both GC and Xbox are true. I think the Xbox pad is better suited to it but I won't be greedy, i'll take my original Sonic Team projects wherever possible (thin on the ground as they are).
Of that list, I care about Orta and F-Zero. Pretty weak, as far as I'm concerned.Quote:

Sonic Team should focus on GC IMO. Multiplatform games are loss leaders in software I hear now so hey.. Sonic + Gamecube = Almost Perfect... as close as it gets now. I think Sonic could be a game that zeros in on GC and really dominates on that platform. Other sonic team games should look to this platform and I say a New NIGHTS is in order. Shining Force as well.

For the next Sonic I want animesque music (not soft rock), 3 acts, 6 zones, boss (Eggman) at the end of each zone, 1 chaos emerald in each zone, special zones, no RPG elements, linear structure and gameplay on par with the Sonic levels of the original SA. All in wonderful 3D and of course themed zones.
That would make me so happy ^_^
Space Channel 5 Part 3 is supposed to be in early development, and it sounds like it's ambition could rival even that of Rez. I can't wait.
Where did you read that about Space Channel 5 Part 3?
Any rumours on which platform it will land? I guess the obvious pick would be PS2, because PS2 was released on that platform.
Hasn't it been stated that the next SC5 game would not be in the same genre?
It was in an interview with Mizuguchi. He said that while it will still be a music and rythm game, it would feature full freedom of movement like in an adventure game, fused with musical gameplay. It's an ambitious concept, but if they pulled off Rez, I think they can pull off this.Quote:
